Wolverines,

Tigers Prepare

for

NCAA Duel

By RICK STERN
Preparation is the word as
Michigan's Wolverines and Prince-
ton's Tigers brace for their meet-
ing this Friday night in Portland,
Oregon.
At stake will be a place in the
NCAA championship game against
the winner of the UCLA-Wichita'
game. Neither Princeton nor
Michigan have ever taken the
title, though the Wolverines fin-
ished third last year in Kansas
City. UCLA is the defending na-
tional champion. Michigan owns
a season record of 23-3, and
Princeton is 22-5.
Coach Dave Strack held a two-

hour practice session in Yost Field
House yesterday. After watching
films of the first Michigan-
Princeton game, Strack's Wol-
verines-worked on specific offenses
and defenses, with emphasis plac-
ed on correcting the mistakes they
made in the earlier duel, won by
Michigan 80-78.
Late Rally
In that game, the Wolverines
trailed by 14 points with three
minutes to go, but scored 14
straight points, to tie, and finally
won on a jump shot by Cazzie
Russell with three seconds left.
Fourteen points is the largest
deficit by which Michigan has
trailed any opponent all season.
Princeton star Bill Bradley had
fouled out with 41 points shortly

before the Wolverine comeback
began.
"Actually, we have prepared for
Princeton, in about the same man-
ner that we prepare for any op-
ponent," said Strack yesterday.
"We've seen the films and we've
worked against their offense and
their defense."
Eastern Assignment
Michigan assistant Coach Tom
Jorgensen was in Maryland last
weekend and watched as Prince-
ton took the NCAA Eastern Re-
gional Championship with vic-
tories over North Carolina State
and Providence. "They're definite-
ly playing much better than they
played against us in December,"
said Jorgensen. "Bradley was su-
perb and, more important, his
teammates are playing much bet-
ter. Against Providence, they
played almost perfect basketball."
The statistics support Jorgen-
sen's observation. In winning by 40
points againet Providence, a team
which had only lost once previous-
ly all season, Princeton shot 68
per cent from the field, connecting
on 41 of 60 shots. Furthermore,
the fired-up Tigers made 27 of 32
free throw attempts. Thus they
threw the ball at the basket 92
times and made 68 shots. Bradley
made 41 points including 13 free
throws in as many attempts.
Farewell Appearance
In New Jersey, Butch Van Breda
Kolff, the Princeton coach, sent
his charges through their final
home workout of the season.
The Daily contacted Van Breda
Kolff by telephone last night. Like
Strack, Van Breda Kolff did not
indicate that he was preparing for
the" game in a special manner.
"We've just been practicing as

doubt though that we're looking "I've been asked if Cazzie Russell

forward to playing them again."
No Worries
Van Breda Kolff was asked
about the significance of this game
for himself and the school. "As
a matter of fact, I don't feel that
this game means any more to me
than when I went to an NCAA
small college tournament several

sell missed Michigan's final reg-
ular season game with a virus.
"If you'd seen our game against
Vanderbilt in the Mideastern
finals, you'd know he's 100 per
cent." Russell pulled that one out
with 17 points in the second half.
Friday night's game begins at
7:30 p.m. Pacific Coast time,
which is 10:30 Ann Arbor time. It
will be broadcast on WJBK-TV,

ship game is scheduled for 10 p.m.

scheduled for national television
coverage.
Basketball Briefs
The coaches involved in the
other semifinal contest also had
comments yesterday.
"We have problems of course,"
said Wichita's Gary Thompson.
"But I can tell you one problem
we don't have. That's overconfi-
dence. It's safe to say we won't
be over-confident against UCLA."
Wichita, unranked in the national
poll, owns a 21-7 season mark,
while UCLA, second only to Michi-
gan, is 26-2.
Johnny Wooden coach of the
Bruins said thathe doesn't think
his team will be overconfident
against Wichita. "We know they
must be a good ball club. We are
not overlooking them. We must
take them as they come and
Wichita comes first."

DISCOUNT RECORDS, INC.

LLOYD GRAFF
So What's Wrong
With Being a Paragon?
Ever since I found out that Roy Rogers' real name was Leonard
Sly, Superman committed suicide, and Rin Tin Tin had fleas, I've
been down on heroes.
After all, a hero is just an ordinary guy that other people think
is great.
One of the largest heroes around nowadays plays basketball
for Princeton and just latched onto a Rhodes Scholarship. You
probably know his name.
They say this character walks over the swimming pool to get
to class every day and who am I to dispute it. Just about everybody
who talks to him figures he'll be governor of Missouri in about 20
years and give him 25 to make the Big White House in Washington.
About the only thing he's got against him is being a Republican
and that didn't stop Ike. He worked for Scranton so you know
he's not one of Barry's Boys, and his nose is much straighter than
Tricky Dick's.
I don't envy anyone who has to play against him. How
would you like to play against a future President? It would take
all of the fun out of the game unless you were some kind of
anarchist. Part of the joy of basketball is to elbow your opponent
right in the lumen when you're fighting him for a rebound. Can
you see yourself giving President Johnson one right in the gut.
Why that would be worse than tripping Ladybird.
This kid from Crystal City who brought basketball to Old
Nassau has so much class it oozes out of his shoelaces. He studies
past midnight and teaches Sunday School. He has iron self-
discipline, and ruthless concentration. And they say he's a nice
guy too and sometimes does the frug at parties. Almost makes
you want to bow down.
Plan Those Conversations
"The Prince" is as well-organized as the Dewey decimal system.
He takes 42 minute naps and schedules 13 minute conversations to
broaden himself. And he doesn't like overtimes. He sounds about as
human as Winky Dink.
Can- you imagine getting into a real swinging bull session with
him about the Missouri senatorial campaign of 1940, or maybe
Millard Fillmore's Secretaries of War and then being told that his
13, minutes of talk time are up. That's like being told you can
eat six potato chips and then must seal up the bag.
You probably think I'm being unfair to this banker's son who
used to practice basketball in Palm Beach, Florida during winter
vacations, and worked on dribbling aboard the Queen Mary on'
a trip to Europe. You're probably right. There really isn't any-
thing that bad about being a paragon.
But a guy who says "Gosh darn it" when somebody gives him
a knee to the hip, just gets my goat. The least he could do is cuss
a little.
But not Bill Bradley, marvel on the court, amateur saint off it.
He just stands around being perfect taunting the blemished humans
around him. And the worst thing about it is they say he's nice.

years ago at another school. The
student body here is quite excited
but I don't think there'll be many
of them making the trip to Port-
land.
"Their plans for a chartered
plane have fallen through. As for
the university itself, it is not too
significant either as we're not big
time here. It is of course the first
time that a Princeton team has
gone this far in the NCAA basket-
ball tournament." Van Breda
Kolff's statement can be taken
literally too. The team will be
starting the 3,000 mile trek to
Portland this afternoon. Though
flying, they will not arrive until
late tonight.
Good Clean Fun
Van Breda Kolff, speaking in a
low, husky voice, said that he
hoped that it would be a good
basketball game, "with both teams
playing their best." Strategy wise,
he indicated that he would not
have Bradley guard Russell and
did not anticipate that the g.-me
would turn into an individual
battle between the two All-
Americans.
"If they guarded each other,'
both would get in foul trouble
early," said Van Breda Kolff.
"Furthermore, I don't feel that
one man can win a ball game. If
I tried to stop Russell, then an-
other Michigan player would take
his place.
"I also don't think that Dave
Strack will be trying anything
fancy in order to stop Bradley. I
read that Dave is not a 'gimmick
coach.' I'm not either. When a
team is accustomed to playing in
a certain way it's not wise to
change. Hence my decision . on
Russell."
Tact or Tactic?
We asked Van Breda Kolff, what
he would do if he found himself
in a situation similar to the last
game, where Princeton held a
commanding lead with only three
minutes left. "Yes," he said. "I'd
definitely do something different.
I'd tell the referee not to call the
fifth foul on Bradley."
Both coaches admitted that the
tension is higher now than during
the regular season. "The players
are cognizant of the fact that a
national championship is at
stake," commented Strack. "'There
is tension in the air here, but I'm
sure there is in Wichita and in
New Jersey too." Van Breda Kolff
agreed. "Anytime you get down to
the last four teams in the coun-
