OHIO STATE'S MIKE WAGAR (15) lays up two in the Bucks'
victory over Michigan on Feb. 27. The Bucks scored a 60-59 upset
over Marquette Thursday to advance to the NCAA Mideast regional
finals. OSU squares off against Western Kentucky this afternoon.

By The Associated Press
Ohio State, never a loser in this
regional, shoots for its f i f t h
National Collegiate Athletic Asso-
ciation Mideast basketball cham-
pionship today when the Buckeyes
challenge quick Western Kentucky
and its All-American Jim McDan-
iels.
The two upset winners of
Thursday night's semifinals will
tip off at 4:05 p.m. EST, in a
nationally televised NBC encount-
er.
In other regional match-ups,
Pennsylvania meets Villanova,
Kansas tackles Drake and UCLA
goes against Long Beach State.
Ohio State, now 20-5 reached
the mideast finals with a 60-59
victory over Marquette, shattering
the Warriors' 39-game winning
streak, seventh longest in major
college history.
McDaniels, a seven-footer with
an amazing long-range shooting
touch, tallied 35 points as Western
won the Battle of the Common-
wealth with a smashing 107-83
victory over Kentucky in the first
meeting ever between the cross-
state neighbors.
Seven-footer Luke Witte gave
Ohio State a 58-57 lead with 1:11
left, the first time the Buckeyes
had led since the opening moment.
Allan Hornyak added a pair of
pressure free-throws with six se-
conds remaining, ending Mar-
quette hopes.
"I'm glad we have the day be-
tween games," said Western Coach
Johnny Oldham Friday. "We were
ready to play. I think we'll have
a tremendous psychological let-
down Saturday."
UCLAns tackle 49ers
UCLA, 91-73 winners over Brig-
ham Young, meet Long B e a c h
State, 78-65 victors over Pacific,
for the right to advance to the
championships.
Reserve forward Terry Schofield
keyed UCLA's rather easy tri-
umph. With the score close mid-
way in the first half, he came off
the bench to hit five of seven
shots from outside.
That shooting, plus a scoring
surge in the last minute of the
first half, led by Sidney Wicks,
gave UCLA a nine-point half-time
lead and BYU couldn't get closer
than seven points thereafter. The
Bruins are 26-1 this year.
But the 49ers almost didn't get'
the chance. Pacific, 21-6, roared
out to a 15-point lead just be-

fore halftime and
Beach look bad.

Rangy Bob Morse scored 28
points to lead Penn to its 28th
consecutive victory. The Quakers
broke open a tight battle in the
last seven and one-half minutes
with a brilliant shooting exhibi-
tion from the free-throw line, hit-
ting on 20 of 21 during that per-
iod.

Villanova's height and ability to
beat Fordham's full court press
were key factors in the victory
over the Rams. Porter scored 20
points in the first half as Vil-
lanova took an 11-point lead, 47-
36. He scored five more the se-
cond half for a total of 25 before
fouling out with 1:36 left.

Big Eight, MVC champs meet
Kansas and Drake, after nar-
row Thursday night victories, will
meet at 4:10 p.m. EST today, in
the Midwest Regional basketball
playoff finals.
Fourth ranked Kansas, notching
its 20th consecutive triumph, edg-
ed 14th rated Houston 78-77, and
Drake, 19th ranked, surprised 12th
ranked Notre Dame in overtime,
79-72.
A 29 point performance by Dave
Robisch and Bud Stallworth's 25
point contribution gave Kansas its
26th decision in 27 games.
Robisch, second team All-Amer-
ican, dropped in Kansas' last sev-
en points, all on free throws in
the last two minutes.
Jayhawk Coach Ted Owens, de-
spite the victory, was unhappy
with the Kansas performance.
"We didn't penetrate their
zone," he said. "We didn't p 1a y
good on defense."
The Notre Dame - Duke game
was tied 62-62 at the end of regu-
lation play after Al Sakys sank a
jumper with 4 seconds left to put
Drake even.
Drake, with Sakys, Tom Bush
and Jim Nordrum and Carl Saly-
ers, hitting often, piled in 17
points in the overtime to seal
Notre Dame's fate.

By DALE ARBOUR
Today, the Michigan track team
opens its outdoor season in Seattle
with a dual meet against the Uni-
versity of Washington. Washington
has some fine performers on line
for today's action, but it probably
won't be enough to overcome a
balanced Michigan attack.
Washington has strength espe-
cially in the mile, pole vault, and
long jump. In the mile run, Jim
Johnson has gone 4:03.1 so far this
season, and he was NCAA. indoor
runnerup in that event to Marty
Liquori last weekend. Attempting
to upset Johnson will be Michigan's
Mike Pierce (4:08.9) and Rick
Storrey (4:12.8).
The pole vault presents a similar
situation to the mile run. Washing-
ton's Kirk Bryde has gone 16-4
this season, and Michigan's Bob
Mitchell and Larry Wolfe will be
hard-pressed to beat him. Mitchell
has gone 14-6 and Wolfe has clear-
ed 15-0 so far this season.
Michigan's strongest event ap-
pears to be the 120-yard high hur-
dles, where Godfrey Murray and
Mel Reeves are competing. Wash-
ington's top hurdler has gone :14.2,
while last season Murray nit- :13.7
and Reeves has a best of :14.0 over
high school highs.
In the 100- and 220-yard dashes,
Gene Brown is going against ques-
tionable Washington competition.
Washington has two good sprint-
ers, one who has supposedly gone
:09.3 and the other :09.6, com-

pared to Brown's :09.5. However,
their :09.3 sprinter has never been
seen by anybody running the 100
in that time, so their apparent
strength in this event is highly
questionable. In the 220, Brown
will be joined by Kim Rowe against
adequate competition from Wash-
ington.
In the other field events, John
Mann will find little competition
for first place. But Steve Adams
will have his hands full in the shot
put and discus. Washington's top
shotputter has thrown 57-8 while
Adams has thrown 56-0.
In thehdiscus, Adams has never
thrown competitively before in the
collegiate ranks, so only time will
tell how good he will be in that
event. Adams' coach, Jack Harvey,
a former shot putter himself, thinks
that Adams is much better in the
discus than in the shot. He is bas-
ing his decision on the fact that
Adams practiced only for the discus
during the entire fall track prac-
tice.
In the triple jump, Steve Rosen
takes his indoor best of 43-11
,against one good jumper from
Washington who is in the range of
48 feet. Rosen will be joined by

pole vaulters Mitchell and Wolfe
in an effort to acquire both second
and third places.
In the 440-yard dash, Lorenzo:
Montgomery and Reggie Bradford
will have their hands full with two
:48.0 Washington quarter-milers.
The 880 will not present such great
difficulties for Rick Storrey and
Bill Bolster who have no pressing
competition.
In the exclusively outdoor events,
Phil Pyatt will be attempting his
first three-mile run of the new sea-
son, after hitting a two-mile best
of 8:51.9. Greg Syphax and Reggie,
Johnson will be showing their
hurdle and endurance skilla as they
compete in the 440-yard interme-
diate hurdles.
The 440-yard relay team will also
be performing for the first time
this season, and will probably in-
clude Syphax, Mann, Murray, and
Brown.

Let's hear it for the drunks.
It's not the drink that kills, it's the drunk, the problem drinker, the abusive
drinker, the drunk driver. This year he'll be involved in the killing
of at least 25,000 people. He'll be involved in at least 800,000 highway
crashes. After all the drunk driver has done for us, what can we do for
him? If he's sick, let's help him. But first we've got to get him off the road.
