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."

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.

Villanova's height and ability to beat Fordham's full court press were key factors in the victory over the Rams.

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.
