Weekend in Greensboro...
... UCLA again?
By CLARKE COGSDILL
and
JOHN KAHLER
THIS IS THE weekend for which the good people of Greens-
boro, North Carolina, bought their tickets a year in advance.
Hometown North Carolina State, deprived of a shot at the
NCAA basketball title last year by probation, and ruined by Bill
Walton last December in St. Louis, can obliterate the memory
of two years of frustration and rage when -the Wolfpack hosts
UCLA in one of the NCAA basketball semifinals today.
The other semi, pairing Marquette and Big Eight champion
Xansas, is not completely devoit of interest, but most people
agree that the winner of the N.C. State-UCLA clash will be the
odds-on favorite to win the final game Monday night and cop
the national championship.
For a change, the Bruins will be slight underdogs going
into the weekend festivities. Coach John Wooden's crew finally
convinced everyone it wasn't superhuman this year when its
record 88-game winning streak was snapped by Notre Dame,
followed by an amazing weekend during which Oregon and
Oregon State successively turned in shocking upsets of the
Bruin juggernaut.
INCONSISTENCY - a trait Wooden teams generally avoid
- has plagued UCLA this year. When at their best, as they were I
ditring the first half of their showdown battle with Southern Cal
for the Pac-8 title, Bill Walton and friends are as invincible as
ever. But UCLA played some very forgettable hoop against
unprepossessing Dayton, and was extended into three overtimes
before barely escaping with the win.
Walton's mid-season back injury does not explain away the
Bruin's troubles completely. There was no doubt he had re-
covered when UCLA took the court against Dayton. All-America
forward Keith Wilkes has suffered through some miserable in-
dividual evenings, and the supporting cast - Dave Meyers, Pete
Trgovich, Marques Johnson, Ralph Drollinger, and Tommy Cur-
tis - have not always been able to compensate when oppon-
ent's zones succeed at screening Walton from the ball.
THE WOLFPACK which will benefit greatly from the
Greensboro home-court advantage, required an overtime win
over Maryland to win the Atlantic Coast Conference playoffs.
Nevertheless, it is clear that North Carolina State has the in-
dividual talent to put one big game together and end UCLA's
7-year NCAA title skein.
David Thompson, the Wolfpack's All-America forward, can
not be stopped, and UCLA will not pretend to try and do so.
Guard Monte Towe will have to be near-perfect in directing the
North Carolina State attack and popping in those amazing 30-
foot jumpers, and towering 7-4 center Tom Burleson will have
to prove he can neutralize Walton for more than ten minutes
at a stretch.
Last December, Burleson successfully got Walton in early
foul trouble, and with substitute Ralph Drollinger's books consist-
ently bouncing off the rim, UCLA was in more trouble than it
had ever asked for. But Burleson couldn't handle Walton when
the Bruin star came back off the bench, and UCLA broke the
game open down the stretch to score a decisive victory.
THE OUTCOME will depend more upon whether UCLA is
"up"' or "down" than upon anything the Wofpack and its fans
can do. If the Walton Gang is sharp, everyone might just as
well shake hands at the tip-off and concede the UCLA victory.
More probably, it will be a close game, and if it is, North
Carolina will have a better-than-half chance of dropping the
Bruins to the consolation finals.
If the winner of the Bruin-Wolfpack struggle does not ex-
haust itself unduely in the process, it should have an easy time
in the finals against either Marquette or Kansas. Though both
are respectable teams, there is no way that either could con-
ceivably be called a "superteam."
Marquette is all too well known to Michigan fans, since they
made Campy Russell and friends return to studies prematurely
by beating them in the regional finals. The Warriors accomp-
lished this feat with a clawing defense and a scheming coach,
and both should be enough for them to ooze past Kansas.
MARQUETTE will be the only team in history to make the
NCAA finals with two players named Maurice in the starting
lineup. Maurice Lucas and "Bo" Ellis provide inside scoring and
board power for Al McGuire's "social club." They also intimi-
date on the inside, with speedy guards Marcus Washington and
Lloyd Walton adding quick hands and speed.
"I've always been a defensive coach," proclaimed McGuire.
"It generally takes about five minutes for a team to get its
offense untracked, and if they aren't playing defense during
that period, they can get buried."
Kansas rebounded from a disasterous '72-'73 campaign to
take the crown in that powerhouse basketball circuit, the Big
Eight. Norm Cook and Roger Morningstar matured to provide
board strength, while senior Tom Kivisto runs the backcourt
the way a senior should.
But the consensus opinion is that this team should not
even be in the Final Four. They were all but beaten in the
regional finals when God decided to punish Oral Roberts for
blasphemy by allowing his team to blow and eight point lead in
the final two minutes, and lose the game in overtime.
Still, any team that gets this far has to have something go-
ing for it, and if Marquette gets caught looking ahead, they
could be in for an unpleasan surprise. More likely the world
will be faced with the prospect of Al McGuire only one game
away from the national title.

Peter Revson dies
after fiery crash
By Reuter
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Peter Revson, one of
America's premier racing drivers and the handsome heir to a
fortune, was killed yesterday when his car left the track in
practice near here-seven years after his younger brother died in
a racetrack crash.
Revson, at 35 near the peak of his career, was dragged out
of the blazing car after it somersaulted and burst into flames,
but he died in an ambulance on the way to a hospital in Johan-
nesburg, 15 miles away.
Revson, who won last year's British and Canadian Grand.
Prix events, was one of the favorites for the South African for-
mula one race.
He was doing about 125 miles an hour when he went into
the right hand bend called Barbecue Corner at the bottom of a
hill.
Drivers Graham Hill of Britain, Emerson Fittipaldi of Brazil
and South African Eddie Kaizan stopped their cars and rushed
to try to save Revson. A fire truck crew eventually got him out,
but it was only an unofficial practice session, there was no
helicopter to fly him to the hospital.
