Mount leads
way with 36
By LEE KIRK and
PHIL HERTZ
Purdue's underdog Boiler-
makers scorched the nets with
a 24-5 blitz early ip the second
half and coasted to a shock-
ingly easy 92-65 victory over
bridesmaid North Carolina in
the first of two NCAA semi-
final games played at Louis-
ville's Freedom Hall.
It marked the third time in as
many years that the Tar Heels,
who led only once in the entire
game, had lost in either .the semi-
finals or finals of the NCAA play-
offs.
Purdue, led as usual by Rick,
Mount who had 36 points, com-
pletely^ dominated all phases of
the game. They controlled both
backboards and forced an unbe-
lievable 28 turnovers from the
normally well - disciplined Tar
4 Heels.
The game started slowly with
both teams tight and sloppy. Then
little Bill Keller popped in three
straight field goals to start Purdue
rolling and Moupt began to hit
and Purdue surged to a 35-24 lead.
North Carolina was unable to
do anything right during this
stretch, and Purdue's all-confer-
ence-forward Herman Gilliam was
doing a great job on Charlie
Scott, North Carolina's All-Ameri-
can, holding 'him to just two field
goals in the first 18 minutes, and
15 points overall.
When Purdue Coach George.
King took Mount out for a rest,
the Boilermakers faltered and
North Carolina began to move. Led
by Bill Bunting and Scott the Tar
Heels pulled to within four, 39-35,
at the half.
At the start of the second half,
the teams exchanged buckets, and
Swhen N orth Carolina's Bunting
sank a layup, the score was 44-41,
Then Mount, the blond bomber
from Lebanon, Ind., burned in six
straigh$ points to ignite the fire
and Purdue was off to the races.
N o r t h C a r o l i n a, troubled
throughout the game by cold out-
side shooting, went completely
cold while the Boilermakers could
do no wrong. Mount and Gilliam
set George Faerber and Keller up
for easy baskets with brilliant
passes and Purdue had a 76-54

LOUISVILLE, Ky. UR)

UCLA,

pushed to the limit by upstart Drake, fought off the Bulldogs
85-82 last night and moved to within one step of a record
third consecutive national collegiate basketball title.
UCLA will play Purdue in, the NCAA championship game
Saturday afternoon.
Drake, a 13-point underdog, spotted UCLA an early 11-2
advantage, then reboundsed to make a game of it.
The Bulldogs, who had to survive a playoff for the
Missouri Valley Conference title, finally caught UCLA at 37-
37 just before halftime intermission and fought the Bruins on
equal terms for the first 10 ,
minutes of the' second half. -
Drake had two brief leads, at qj
43-42 and 45-44, and had the
game tied four times-the last at
59=59.

"If I had it to do over again I

sing Michigan's prospects on its
annual spring trip to Arizona. The
club will play a formidable sch-
edule of 12 games in just nine days
with six single games and three
doubleheaders against four of the
finest teams in the nation.
Benedict's regrets about the trip
are due to the fact that his three
top pitchers who were expected to
return didn't, signing p r o con-
tracts and leaving the team with
a v e r y unexperienced mound
corps.
"Certainly our pitching is my
biggest worry";' admits the Michi-

the waning minutes of the contest.
Mount had strong scoring from
Keller, who pumped in 20. Faerber,
Gilliam, and Frank Kaufman
overcame the Tar Heels height'
advantage to completely dominate
the offensive and defensive back-
boards throughout the contest.
Gilliam seemed completely recov-
ered from an ankle injury that
had hobbled him for the past
month. Gilliam was all over the
floor causing turnovers and setting
up Purdue's sharpshooters, and
was brilliant on defense.
Purdue, the nation's. leading of-
fensive team, was supposed to be
only average on defense. Yet' it
was their ballhawking defense that
provided most of the difference in
the game.
North Carolina's Rusty Clark,
who scored 20, and Bunting, who
had 19, gave the Boilermakers
some problems inside, but their
plethora of turnovers kept the Tar
Heels from taking full advantage
of this. The Boilermakers, alter-
nating between a 2-3 zone and a
man to man, seemed to have
North Carolina perpetually off
balance.
North Carolina, normally al
strong defensive club, was ham-
pered by the loss of starting guard

player. His knee injury left Caro

plish that much. And third we'll3
be playing all twelve games away
from home - a disadvantage that
hurt us last year."'
Benedict blames mistakes on de-!
fense for helping to take the Wol-
verines to a dismal 1-9 record on£
their last spring trip, stating "Ev-
ery time we made a mistake it
seemed to cost us t w o or three
runs. As far as this spring tripi
goes I'd have to say that because
we re not close to being ready ourz
pitching will be our main concern.
"Our defense may be weak fromI
time to time when the, boys won't'
react properly or quickly in. cer-
tain situations and when our shal-
low pitching staff is severely test-
ed. I'm not too worried about our
hitting though. We'll have some
good days and some bad ones at
the bat but that will work itself
out eventually."
In the nine day trip Michigan
will play Arizona State, Arizona,
Southern Illinois, and Wyoming,
four teams that will provide tough

competition for Coach Benedict's
club. The Wolverines will p 1 a y
five games each with the Arizona
nines and single contests with the
other two,
Arizona State, which has pro-
vided the Oakland Athletics with
such stars as Reggie Jackson, Rick
Monday, and Sal Bando, recently
defeated the expansion Seattle Pi-
lots of the American League 5-4,
and ranks with Arizona's Wild-
cats as one of the two best teams
in the Southwest. Wyoming had a
losing season last year but returns
15 lettermen to what should be a
greatly improved club.
Southern Illinois might be the
best team t h a t the Wolverines
face this season. Last year the Sa-
lukis came one out from winning
the national title before bowing to
Southern California in the final
game of the NCAA World Series
4-3. Cheered on by the presence of
its four lovely batgirls, Southern ,
Illinois boasts the return of 13 of
16 lettermen, three of whom were
All-Americans,
In summing up the Wolverines
chances on the twelve games Ben-
edict says, "We'll certainly' have
some problems, especially with our
sophomore pitchers, but the boys-
will gain some real good exper-
lence. We'll be a lot better team
when we get home than we are
now.

NEW YORK-Temple ran off
10 straight points behind Joe
Cromer and John Baum late in
the second half and upended
favored Tennessee 63-58 last night
in the semifinals of the National
Invitation Basketball Tournament.
Boston College, biding its time,
beat underdog Army 73-61 in the
opener of the Madison Square
Garden doubleheader.
Temple, which won the first NIT
in 1938 in its" only appearance in
the final, and has been frustrated
in six other trips to New York,
and BC, reaching the final for
the first time in three tries, meet
for the championship Saturday
afternoon on national television.

Tennesee and Army will play for
third place.
With Bobby Croft and Rudy
Kinard of Tennessee waging a
scoring duel against Cromer and
teammate Eddie Mast, Tennessee
pulled ahead 49-44 after nine lead
changes in the see-saw second
half.
Then Cromer hit for five
straight points for a 49-all tie.
Bill Strunk put the Owls ahead
and Baum completed the string
with another five for a 54-49
spread with 1:45 remaining.
Tony Brocchi's two free throws
with 62 seconds to play gave
Temple a decisive 59-53 lead over
the pressing Vols as the Owls ran
their record to 21-8.

The Paulists arrived on the
West 'Side of New York City
in 1858. In 1895 they moved
into San Francisco's China-
town and into the fringes of
Chicago's Loop in 1904.
They're stiltl.there.
Times change. Neighborhoods
change. Sometimes they go up.
Sometimes they go down -
but through it all the Paulist
stays. As long as there are
peeple to be served the Paulist
will be there.
The Paulist may be in the
same old place but he con-
stantly does new things. That's

the Paulist order: using their
