Cougar All-American
Leader of the visiting Cougars
is, junior All-America center El-
vin Hayes, a 6'8", 235-pounder.
Hayes, who Lou Mohs, general
manager of the Los Angeles Lak-
ers, has called a better pro pros-
peet than Lew Alcindor, was 11th
in the nation in scoring as a
sophomore last year, with a 27.2
point per game average, and also
10th in field goal percentage and
fifth in rebounding.

win over the Gophers in a non-
conference basketball game yes-

The inexperienced Gophers nev-
ei led but pressed the Cougars un-
til Melvin Bell hit a three-point
play and Don Chaney followed
with five quick points. That ex-
panded a 69-66 edge to ,77-66 with
five minutes to play.
Bell scored 24 points and Chan-
ey 23 for Houston. Elvin Hayes,
6-8 center, added 18 in a face-
off with Minnesota's 6-7 center,
Tom Kondla. Paul Presthus and
Kondla; who fouled out with 9:41

experience, playing senior Don
