points by at least three defend-

Maury John of Drake said "If
Purdue can hit the outside jump-

But North Carolina's Smith
wasn't so confident.
"Purdue has the best offensive
attack.
"They have the outside shoot-
ers and can use the big man to
screen against Alcindor. But I
wonder if they have the personnel
to go against UCLA. Who does?"
Smith said he was "embarrassed
for us,' after Thursday's game. "I
have to apologize for our play."
But, he said, the Tar Heels
still were looking forward to the
third place game.
"We've been ranked second most
of the season, then fourth. There's

Neither King nor Wooden was
planning on any line-up changes
for Saturday, the day, as Wooden
said, when "it's all over, one way
or the other."

"MAKE THOSE SHOTS COUNT," exhorts UCLA Assistant Coach Denny Crum to his players
during a time out in the final seconds of the NCAA semifinal game against Drake. The Bruins led
by, from left, Lew Alcindor, Curtis Rowe, Lynn Scackleford, and Sidney Wicks, made enough shots
to squeak by the Missouri Valley champs, 85-82 and earn the right to meet Purdue this afternoon
for the NCAA title.
