The soft-spoken giant f r o m New York, an intimidating power on defense and a jauggernaut on offense, also collected 21 rebounds and demoralized the Boilermakers by his mere presence. Purdue, stone cold from the start, was in the title game for only the first four minutes. The Bruins then ran off eight con- secutive points, including a three- point play by big Lew, establish- ed a 14-6 lead and were never ser- iously threatened again. The Big Ten champions made at least two runs at the Bruins but trailed most of the time by a wide margin. Their first move came just be- fore intermission, when their pressing defense forced UCLA in- to a couple of errors. They con- verted them into six consecutive points and trailed 42-31 at the half. Then, midway in the second half, Purdue outscored UCLA 8-1, cut- ting the deficit to 11-at 76-65. But for the most part, it was too much Alcindor-a 7-1% mar- vel, a three-time All-American and possibly the most outstanding player in the history of the game. Big Lew marched off the court with 1:19 remaining, a broad grin1 stretched across his usually in- passive face and both hands rais- ed aloft with a single finger point- ing, symbolizing No. 1. Alcindor, the guiding force in the Bruins' fantastic record of 88-2 in his college career, stood alone on a chair and ripped down the net and draped it round his neck when the game was over- then marched to the Purdue bench STU DY IN CU ERNAVACA Learn to speak SPANISH " Intensive courses, with drills, supervised labs, and theory taught by experienced Mexican teachers.

He scored most of his points from close in on rebounds and powerful layups, getting excellent passes from his teammates. Purdue, obviously awe-struck by Alcindor and pressing its shots, simple wasn't up to it. The Boilermakers hit only 12 of 51 shots in the first half and Rick Mount, their All-American, was good on only three of his first 18 attempts from the floor. He finished with 28 points, 20 of them in the last half. Alcindor's chief supporters in- cluded guard Kenny Heitz, whose harrassing defense plagued Mount, John Vallely, with 15 points, Cur- tis Rowe, with 12, and Lynn Shackelford, with 11. Wooden credited Heitz with containing Mount, who finished several points short of his average, Purdue Coach George King dis- agreed with Wooden on the im- portance of Heitz's defensive play on Mount. "Rick got the shots he's been getting all year, but it was just one of those nights," King said. While King admitted that Mount's 33 per cent field goal average was his worst of the sea- son, he still was "a little surprised we didn't make it any closer." "It was pretty much in their (UCLA) hands after the first eight or 10 minutes," King said. "They handled us pretty easy." King felt that the mere pres- ence of Alcindor changed the game. UCLA closed this third c-ham- pioiship season with a ,29-1 rec- ord and Purdue finished at 23-5. I. LEW ALCINDOR stands with the net around his head after leading UCLA to its third straight national basketball cham- pionship, setting a record. The title is the Bruin's fifth in six years, making John Wooden the first basketball coach to win five NCAA championships.

I've got news for them, expert analysis was not needed. The game can be summed up in the same two words that describe the last three years of college basketball: LEW ALCINDOR. Alcindor totally dominated a good Purdue team and if he had a back pocket on his shorts he could have put the Boilermakers in it. But that's nothing new, because the big man has been doing that for UCLA throughout his career. Alcindor has taken a lot of knocks since he went to UCLA and its understandable. 'Nobody likes a Goliath, especially one that wins. People try to downgrade the 7-1 star and say that his heightis all that he has. Others'maintain that his great teammates make him look better than he is. Alcindor has always had the best answer, though. He just goes out on the court and shows them where it's really at. The Bruins won three straight NCAA titles, an unprecedented feat, because Alcindor was the greatest center to ever appear in college. Bill Russell dominated the collegiate scene while. at San Francisco but he was all defense. Russell never could shoot to save his life. Jerry Lucas took Ohio State to the finals for three consecutive years, but could only get one title. Cincinnati proved that he could be stopped on offense. Wilt Chamberlain, the man Alcindor is most compared to, only made the last round once while at Kansas and was beaten by North Carolina. Only Big Lew has been able to put together such an unbe- lieveable record. Why LewCLA was so overpowering was made evident against Purdue. Alcindor worked off a low post, took lob passes, and then either dropped in lay-ups or rolled for his soft hook shot. Sometimes, seemingly just for fun, he would turn and pop in a short bank shot. The word unstoppable is overused but for Alcindor it applies. He combines amazing timing, spring and agility with his great height. The lob pass is so effective with him because of that timing and spring. The Bruins don't have to worry about interceptions on the play sim- ply because of how high Alcindor allows them to throw the pass. Those who saw Purdue against North Carolina felt that the Boilermakers could shut off Alcindor as they had Rusty Clark, by sagging on him. But Alcindor made a mockery out of that idea. It is an insult to him to even think that stopping Clark is com- parable. Clark could not get the insidepass because he isn't mo- bile, he can't jump, he does not have goodytiming or strong hands. Alcindor has it all, though, and he has always shown it. For three years people tried to come up with a way to stop him; only two ever came close. Southern California discovered that UCLA could be beat with a stall . . . if the Bruins were complacent. Houston realized Itthat a team with imposing size was needed to stop the juggernaut. Of course, it helped that Lew had an eye injury at the time. But now no one has to worry about him anymore, just the Mil- waukee Bucks, who would like his autograph but will have to pay dearly to get it. If the Bucks were smart, though, they could probably get the money very easily. I imagine that there are over a thousand coaches and players with ulcers that he has left in his wake who would be glad to contribute to anyone who would take Alcindor away. If you don't believe that, call George King in Lafayette, In- diana and ask him for an analysis of the title game. The number is 317-749-2776. I bet this is one time that King will agree with me on something.

NEW YORK - Tennessee pull- ed away early in the second half behind big Bob Croft and out- defensed Army 64-52 yesterday in a lackluster game for third place in the National Invitation Bas- ketball Tournament.

In addition to leading their scoring, McCarter also wracked up 10 assists and was one of the top rebounders against the vast- ly taller Tar Heels. A 12-2 Drake scoring burst in the last 212 minutes of the first half ripped open a tight game, staked the Iowans to a 50-39 half- time edge and the Bulldogs, were never threatened again. North Carolina, ranked No. 4 in the nation, was disorganized "and listless throughout the game and was guilty of seven key errors in the first half alone. The Tar Heels stayed in it only through the scoring magic of Charlie Scott, who finished with 35 points."
