'Brain
By MARC FELDMAN
About this time every year in
the recent history of mankind
two questions have resided on
the tips of tongues from the crag-
gy harbors of New England to
the oil slicked beaches of Cali-
fornia - "When will spring ar-
rive?" is one and more import-
antly to basketball fans, "When
will UCLA lose?"
The indomitable Bruins, under
the divine tutelage of John
Wooden have dominated college
basketball in the last decade in
a way that no one would have
ever thought possible. UCLA has
won eight of the last nine NCAA
tournaments including the last
six in succession.
Currently riding a record 66
game winning streak, UCLA has
been the team to beat for na-
tional honors for so long that the
formerly exciting national tour-
ney has been dubbed tie "UCLA
Invitational" by many writers
and fans.
This year's aggregation of
Bruins, led by center Bill Wal-
ton, Larry Hollyfield, and Keith
Wilkes seems to have little block-
ing its path to a seventh consec-
utive title since second - ranked
North Carolina State is ineligible
for post-season play because of
recuiting violations.
N. C. State, like UCLA, breez-
ed by 21 straight opponents in-
cluding double victories over
both North Carolina and Mary-
land in Atlantic Coast Confer-
ence play. Pacing the Wolfpack
in scoring is sophomore leaper
David Thompson with 25 points
per game and 7-4 center Tommy
Burleson.
State Coach Norm Sloan tried
to arrange a matchup between
his team and the Bruins in Ra-
leigh but Wooden refused to play
anywhere but Los Angeles and
Sloan, anywhere but Raleigh.
The game naturally was never
booked and won't be played any-
where this year.

'Tis nice to dream since the
"eligible" competition seems
to be especially thin this year.
The two most likely challengers
are Long Beach State and Min-
nesota, ranked third and fourth

The 49ers, under volatile Coach
Jerry Tarkanian, have given the
Bruins their closest call in re-
cent history when they went
down 57-55 in the Far West Re-
gional final two years ago. All-
American Ed Ratleff anchors the
hopes of the 22-1 49ers but a Long
Beach scoutreported to Tarkan-
ian "I'd like to say we have a
chance against UCLA, but I don't
think so."
Minnesota has the potential to
give UCLA a battle but the Go-
phers have been inconsistent in
Big Ten and are presently be-
hind Purdue in the standings
although they are fourth in the
nation.

talent to contain Walton, et al

center, Jim Brewer, 6-10 forward
Ron Behagen, and 6-6 Dave Win-
field at the other corner spot.
In the East, four conference
winners will automatically qual-
ify their champions for the tour-
nament and three independents
will be tabbed. Most of the con-
ferences have settled- into one or
two horse races as a basic pic-
ture of the competition can be
discerned.
ATLANTIC C O A S T CON-
FERENCE - North Carolina or
Maryland, NCAA representative
determined by post-season tour-
nament.
SOUTHERN CONFERENCE
Davidson or Furman, NCAA rep-
resentative determined by post-
NCAA 's
season tournament.
IVY LEAGUE - Penn or
Princeton.
MIDDLE A T L A N T I C
CONFERENCE - St. Joseph's
(Pa.).
The three independents will
be chosen from among Provid-
ence (18-3), Virginia Tech (15-
3), St. John's (18-3), Syracuse
(18-4), and South Carolina (17-5).
The Mid-East features just six
teams with four conference
champs and two independents.
BIG TEN - closest race in
country with Purdue, Minnesota,
or Indiana the likely champion.
SEC - Tennessee or Alabama.
OHIO VALLEY - Austin.
Peay.
MAC - Miami (Ohio)
The two independents - Mar-
quette (20-2), Jacksonville (19-4).
The traditionally weak Mid-
west regional will be its usual
weak self this year and three
conference champs and three
independents will compete.
SOUTHWEST - Texas Tech.
MISSOURI VALLEY - Mem-
phis State.
BIG EIGHT - Kansas State or
Colorado.
The three independents (Hous-
ton (18-3), Oral Roberts (20-4),
Oklahoma City (17-5), Southwest
Louisiana (19-2).
The Far West might be some-
what competitive for UCLA with
Long Beach State and New Mex-
ico providing about the strongest
opposition.
PAC-8 - UCLA
BIG SKY - Weber State
WESTERN ATHLETIC - New
Mexico or Brigham Young.
WEST COAST AA - San Fran-
cisco.
PACIFIC COAST AA - Long
Beach State.
One independent - Utah State
(14-8), Denver (15-7).

THE BIGGEST and baddest Bruin, red-haired Bill Walton, leaps
high into the atmosphere to stop Washington's Lars Hansen (40),
during last weeks' action. Walton will lead his intimidating UCLA
teammates into the upcoming NCAA tournament where the Bruins
are heavy favorites to cop their sixth straight national crown.

By BOB McGINN
Michigan never had much luck
in basketball until a young man
from Chicago Carver high school
chose to come to Ann Arbor in the
fall of 1962. His name was Cazzie
Russell.
After two brilliant seasons in
which the teams of Bilf Buntin,
Oliver Darden, Larry Tregoning,
Bob Cantrell, and Cazzie swept'
through the Big Ten and on into
the Final Round of Four in the
NCAA championships before fall-
ing (once to Duke, once to UCLA),
the 1965-66 season dawned with
only two veterans still around,
Russell and Darden.
After, a shaky nonconference
start in which the Maize and Blue
lost four times, Coach Dave
Strack's club caught fire. The Big
Ten campaign began and the Wol-
verines beat out archrival Michi-
gan State by one game for their
third straight league title, winning
with an 11-3 record.
So it was on to Iowa City for the
NCAA Mid-East Regionals and a point. As the ball went up, one a:

THE SCANDAL
OF SECRECY
John Wn Gardner Chairman
Common Cause
Former Secretary
of Health, Education and Welfare
One of the weird and nonsensical facts about our
government - at all levels - is that much of the pub-
lic's business is done in the deepest, darkest secrecy.
Citizens assume that only questions of national se-
curity and some aspects of criminal justice are dealt
with in secret. Little do they know! Most of the time
our public officials act as though the way they con-
duct our business is none of our business.
In 1972 roughly one-third of the Senate Pul'ic
Works Committee meetings were held in secret. The
figure for the Senate Agriculture Committee was 59
percent, for the House Appropriations Committee
over 90 percent. The House Ways and Means Com-
mittee, which drafts the laws governing every federal
tax dollar you and I pay, is notoriously secretive Se-
curity is so tight that even the staff assistant of a Con-
gressman who is on the Committee can't attend the
closed meetings. What are they hiding?
All sessions of congressional committees - and
records of all votes taken at such sessions - should
normally be open to the public: Committees should be
allowed to close a meeting only for considerations of
national security or invasion of personal privacy, and
the procedure for closing it should be carefully pro-
tected against abuse.
In the Executive Branch, virtually everyone asso-
ciated with national security acknowledges that the
system of classifying documents to preserve secrecy
has been badly abused - all too often for the pur-
pose of concealing bureaucratic error. And the zeal
for secrecy extends to every government agency un-
der the control of the Executive Branch. Regulatory
agencies often meet behind closed doors, omit public
hearings, and suppress reports the public should see.
Of course, the secrecy involved is only secret-from-
the-public. The special interest lobbyists know very
well what goes on in those hush-hush meetings. Quite
often they're right in there with the decision makers.
The only one who has splinters in his nose from bump-
ing against closed doors is John 0. Public.
Now there is a resolution before the Senate -
sponsored by Senators Humphrey (D., Minn.) and
Roth (R., Del.) (plus 11 other sponsors) which would
open all Senate committee meetings. A bill (S 260) re-
cently introduced in the Senate by Lawton Chiles of
Florida and in the House (HR 4) by Dante Fascell, also
of Florida, would open all Legislative and Executive
Branch meetings oxcept those dealing with national
security or involving personal privacy.
Information is power, and secrecy is the most con-
venient means of keeping that power out of the hands
of the people. What the people don't know, they can't
obiect to.

looking over their shoulders just ous would be putting it very mil -
