Russell's 28 Fails To Compensate
For 130Point Deficit at Halftime

L Special To The Daily
PORTLAND, Ore:-The dazzling Bruins of UCLA forced
Michigan into error after error, rarely failing to cash in their
own opportunities to win. their second consecutive NCAA
championship, 91-80, here last night.
The final score wasn't indicative of how UCLA dominated
the Wolverines throughout the game. Working together like
five fingers of a solo guitarist, they gave a practically flawless
rendition of "how to win a basketball game, by really trying."
They made the Wolverines look clumsy by constantly

begins wth B, and that rhymes
with P, and that stands for Port-
land.
Hundreds of coaches and thou-
sands of fans have crammed into
this pleasant town on the Willa-
mette River to watch the college
game at its zenith. And as you
can imagine, when so many bas-
ketball-nutty people come to-
gether in one spot, every conver-
sation centers on the roundball
game.
And when people talk basketball
out here, two names pop up con-
stantly: Bill Bradley and Lew Al-
cindor.
The adjectives used to describe
Bradley have ranged from the
trite but true, "fantastic, mar-
velous, as good as they say he is
plus, and truly great," to the more
novel ones, like "sweet, phantas-
magoric."
No Weightlifter
At first glance, Bradley is far
slimmer than would be expected.
He's no weightlifter. He's 6'5"
and is listed at 205 pounds, but
doesn't look that hefty.'
His heft may be exaggerated,
but his press clippings are far
from bloated. He shoots from any-
where on the court and can hit
with uncanny accuracy regardless
of the coverage on him.
Princeton Coach Butch Van
Breda Kolff who was voted coach
of the year Friday by his fellow
coaches, said after the game that
Bradley could have scored at will
on Pomey if it weren't for the
foul trouble in which the All-
American found himself and the
Wolverines' ability to cover up for
Pomey.

said, referring to Pomey. "The

But, Washington needed plenty

The little left-hander was par-

Never Closer Than 11
Michigan never got closer than
within 11 points in the second
half. UCLA proved that the
championship could be won, even
without last year's All-American
Walt Hazzard.
The game, billed as a battle of
brute strength and finess, never
materialized. UCLA had too much
of everything, evensrebounding.
The Uclans out-positioned and
out-jumped Michigan and out
shot them. The Bruins hit 33 of

The year 1964 was a good one for economic performance and

March Set
A "sympathy march" protesting
the brutality and injustice of re-
cent events in Selma, Ala., will
take place this evening. The
march, beginning at 7 p.m. in
front of the Student Activities
Building, will be led by a recently-
formed organization consisting of
the majority of Negro students at
the University.
This organization, as yet unoffi-
cial and unnamed, was formed
March 13. According to co-chair-
man James Locke, '67L, its pur-
pose is to organize the Negro stu-
dents at the University, "to show
that we are really here, and that
we are concerned about all of the
injustice and discrimination, in
the North as well as in the South.
Locke said that the group will
eventually be a cultural organiza-
tion, and that fighting discrimin-
ation will be one of its goals.
Because the new organization
is not yet official, Panhellenic
Association will formally sponsor
the march through the Negro
sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha,
which is an associate member of
Panhellenic.
All members of the University
community are strongly urged to
participate. Marchers are asked to
meet in Room 528D of the Stu-
dent Activities Building and to
bring flashlights.
year," McCracken said, "the ca-
pacity of the economy to produce
also rose iiq almost the same
amount.
"The moves toward a moderate-
ly less easy credit and monetary
policy late in 1964 and thus far
in 1965, can still be helpful in
dealing with the international
payments deficit and in reducing
the probability of a lurch in the
domestic economy which would
end in a sharp reversals," he said.
Deficit
The international deficit is the
difference between United States
payments to the rest of the world
and receipts from abroad.
A "less easy monetary and
credit policy" would improve the
balance of payments by reducing
the tendency for surplus funds
here to flow abroad.
It would also slightly restrain
domestic economic expansion by
making borrowing money more
costly and less easily arranged.
Restraint
This resulting restraint would
not be grave, however, in that too
much expansion yields disorderly
growth. According to McCracken,
vigorous growth is healthy but
explosive growth is dangerous.
In testimony before the Senate
Banking and Currency Committee
last, week McCracken pointed out
that the president's program to
deal with the balance of payment
problem will also be more effec-
tive with a slightly less easy
monetary and ciredit policy.

A national civil rights leader
says demonstrations are necessary
to exert continued pressure on
Congress for passage of the ad-
ministration's voting-rights bill.
James Farmer, national director
of the Congress on Racial Equal-
ity, told an audience of 500 last
night at Ann Arbor High School
that the President's speech last
week advocating equality of op-
portunity was "the strongest,
most unequivocal civil rights
statement to come from any Pres-!
ident."
Farmer asserted that de facto
segregation, now being practiced
increasingly in the South as well
as the North, presents an even
more complex problem than the
more traditional forms of dis-
crimination. "No single law, act
or issue can eliminate racial dis-
crimination," he said.
He warned that accelerating.f
violence can be expected in many
areas of the deep South after this
week's 50-mile civil rights march
from Selma to Montgomery, Ala.
Farmer explained that a new
phase of the civil rights movement
is about to begin, although the
basic struggle for equal rights
under law is not yet over. The1
new phase involves freedom of
choice in the areas of housing,
employment and education.
He urged a three-pronged at-
tack on de facto segregation, with
increased eforts in the form of
political and economic action as
well as higher educational stand-
ards.

Published monthly by the students of the College of Engineering,
"The Michigan Technic" magazine is designed to give the student an
awareness of engineering from the viewpoint of the individual en-

Believing that the "well-tooled phrases in college catalogues are

Editor Richard Donnelly, '66, asserted yesterday that the magazine
is one source which helps students acquire those particulars of a job
in order to competently make a decision as to a field of study.
To give the student an idea of what he will be doing as an in-
dividual practicing engineer, "The Michigan Technic" is composed
of articles pertaining to what typical chemical, mechanical, and
