"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 a space in between we'd like to Ifill." 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." w 1970 THE ALL-CAMPUS MUSICAL arnounces petitioning for: DIRECTOR CHOREOGRAPHER MUSIC DIRECTOR SET DESIGNER LIGHTING DESIGNER COSTUME DESIGNER COSTUMER STAGE MANAGER TREASURER MAKE-UP PROGRAM SECRETARY TICKETS & USHERS PHOTOGRAPHER ,,. ..;;,;,l.. !_ " .3Y3: . 1.. f.h You'veg well.

Mount hit 14 of 28 field goal attempts and finished with 36 points while Keller connected on nine of 19 floor shots and wound, up with 20. "They put a lot of pressure on you," Wooden said. "With those two playing the backcourt, theyl look like four or five. Mount is as fine an off-balance shooter as I've seen. "I have the same philosophy as Dean Smith, North Carolina coach and you saw what happened to him. I'm positively alarmed. A hand in the face doesn't seem to bother Mount.
