INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -Spectacular
Darrell Griffith scored 23 hard-earned
points, leading the Louisville Cardinals
to their, first NCAA basketball cham-
pionship with a 59-54 triumph over the
UCLA Bruins Monday night.
The loss brought the Bruins down to
earth after a late-season surge that saw
them come out of nowhere and pull off a
string of upsets en route to the national
finals.
AS HE HAS done all year for the
Metro Conference champions, the
flying Griffith -put, on a sensational
shooting performance by hitting his
sosthrough a maze of tough UCLA
deeders.
The All-lAlmerican guard .kept his
team in the game in the first half with
11 points and then scored 12 more after
intermission, including the winning
shot on a soft jumper from the outside.
That field goal provided the nation's
second-ranked team with a 56-54 lead
with 2:17 remaining, and the Bruins
then literally threw the game away
when James Wilkes tossed an inbounds
pass downcoufrt over the head of a
teammate.
TWO FOUL shots by substitute Derek
Smith in the last minute nailed down
the victory for the Cardinals and cap-
ped a frantic defensive struggle during

which there were four ties in the second
half.
Griffith, who said he was dedicating
the tounm t to 'a friend stricken} with
cancer, was lifted up by a crowd of
touisville supporters and carried
around the court on their shoulders as
he lifted his index finger signifying that
the Cardinals were No. 1 in the country.
In the consolation game, held earlier
yesterday, towering Joe Barry Carroll
scored 35 points to trigger Purdue to a
75-58 victory Monday night over Big
Ten colleague Iowa.
Carroll was the dominating figure
throughout the game, scoring 2,0 of his
points to lead the Boilermaker's into a
32-27 lead at the half.
With the help of their leading player,,
the Boilermakers rolled up a 19-point
lead shortly before the end.
Purdue, closing out its season at 23-
10, had only one other player in double
figures, Keith Edmonson with 17 points.
The Hawkeyes, finishing at 23-10, got
19 points from Kenny Arnold and 10
from Bob Hanson.
Before Purdue broke open the game
in the second half, the Big Ten teams
were no more than six points apart.
When the Hawkeyes came to within
six points with 9:35 remaining, Carroll
went back to work with a couple of
close-in baskets to propel the Boiler-
makers into a double-figure lead that
they never relinquished.
