t
Basketball season is here
and defending champion Tex
as Western is strong enough to
repeat. But they aren't fav
ored. The reason is that Ferdinand
Lewis Alcindor Jr. has arrived.
He has returned UCLA to their
No. 1 ranking of '64 and '65.
Alcindor is not the only
player Coach John Wooden
has. Two starters return from
last year's 18-8 team. Both
were all-conference. Two more
of the Fabulous Frosh join Al
cindor. UCLA is the best team
since the 1960 Ohio State
Championship team of Jerry
Lucas, John Havlicek and Lar
ry Siegfried, now pro stars.
UCLA's only senior is 6'7"
Mike Lynn, who led the team
in scoring (16.8) and rebound
ing (10.3) last season. Junior
Mike Warren, 5'11", was the
second highest scoring soph in
UCLA history at 16.6. "Lusci
ous" Lucius Allen, 6'2" soph,
is quick, slick on the pass, and
a brilliant driver. He averaged
22.4 with the frosh. The other
starting position was sup
posed to have been filled by
6'6" senior Edgar Lacey. But
his failure to recover from
knee surgery has given the po
sition to 6'4" sophomore Lynn
Shackelford (20.9).
The big news is the 6'1" Al
cindor. He averaged 33.1 with
the freshmen plus 21 rebounds
a game. Alcindor has lost but
one game in his last 101. That
was to DeMatha High School
of Washington, D. C. during
his senior year. Some people
think UCLA won't lose for
three years. No team has ever
won three straight champion
ships. Cincinnati came close
with championships in '61 and
'62. They lost by one point in
overtime to Loyola of Chicago
in '63.
UCLA should have no trou
ble getting to Louisville, where
the 1967 NCAA finals will be
held. Only two teams appear
to be able to challenge UCLA
in the West.
The University of Pacific
was 22-6 last year and appear
to be much stronger this sea
son. Coach Dick Edwards has
three starters returning. Keith
Swagerty, 6'7" seriidrf fs a pre
season All - American. He
scored (21.9) and rebounds
(18.3. third in the nation). Bob
Krulish (17.8) and Dave Fox
Fox (13.0) are the returning
guards. The other positions are
up for grabs, but Edwards has
a bevy of lettermen from which
to choose.
Defense - minded New Mexi
co will attempt to dethrone
Utah in the Western Athletic
Conference. Mel Daniels, 6'9"
senior, is a Bill Russell - type
on defense and he averaged
21.2 points per game. Joining
him are 6'3" Ben Monroe (13.5)
and 6'7" Bill Morgan (12.9).
Ron Nelson, a junior college
transfer, where he averaged
25.6, is the best of the guards.
The Lobos of Coach Bob King
were 16-8 last year.
The Mid-West produced Tex
as Western last year. This sea
son the Miners are stronger,
but so are Louisville, Nebras
ka and Houston.
Texas Western surprised ev
eryone, including Kentucky,
last year as they went 28
1. Coach Don Haskins lost two
starters, but he has more than
capable replacement". Bobby
Joe Hill, 5'10' stole Kentucky
blind in the chamDionship
game. He averaged 15 points
last season. Dave "Daddy D"
Lattin, 6'7" and 240, provides
the rebounds plus 14 points a
game. He will get help from
6'8" Nevil Shed (10.6) and 6'5"
Willie Cager (6.6). Joining Hill
in the backcourt will be 5'6 1-2
Willie Worsley (8.0). Sopho
more Phil Harris, 6'10" and
23.4 with the frosh, may push
one of the starters, if he shows
defensive prowess.
Louisville should be king of
the nation's strongest confer
ence, the Missouri Valley. Ail
American Westley Unseld,
6'8" and 240, was the nation's
second best rebounder last sea
son at 19.1. He scored at a 19.3
clip. Fred Holden (13.8), Dave
Gilbert (11.5) and Joe Liedtke
(8.2) are returning starters.
But like UCLA, the big news is
the sophomores. Butch Beard,
6'3",and Jerry King, 6'5", are
definite starters. Coach Peck
Hickman expects a much bet
ter record than last season's
16-10.
Nebraska returns all starters
from last year's 20-5 squad.
They are: 6'5" Tom Baack
(15.4); 6'3" Stu Lantz (12.2):
6'4" Nate Branch (13.5); 6'5"
Willie Camphell (8.8); and
Fred Hare and Jim Damm,
who divided the fifth slot. Soph
omore Roger Leitner, 19.1 as
a freshman, will see plenty of
action for Coach Joe Cipriano.
Perhaps the top team in the
Mid - West will be the Hous
ton Cougars, 23-6 last year un
der Coach Guy Lewis. Their
top attraction is 6'8 1-2", A1I-
American Elvin Hayes. Las t
season as a sophomore he av
eraged 27.2 points and 16.9 re-" 'Jr
bounds. Dolph Schayes, form-' -er
NBA great, called Hayes
"the best big man I saw last
season."
Returning with Hayes is
6'6" Leary Lentz, 6'5" Don
Chaney and 6'8" Don Kruse.
Outstanding sophomores are
6'8" Mel Bell, who broke
Hayes's frosh scoring marks.
6'9" Kenny Spain and 6'8"
Theodis Lee. The height is
there, now Lewis must find a
playmaker to replace the grad
uated Joe Hamood.
The student
is the
central figure in
THE
NEW SCHOOL
COLLEGE
hmtorSPnior liberal arts program leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree
THE NEW SCHOOL COLLEGE views general and special
teed education as interdependent, with specialization
meaningful only when it is rooted in a foundation of
liberal arts studies.
It restores to students full recognition of their indi
viduality and of their role as the central participant
in the educational process.
It treats the undergraduate experience not as a sepa
rate entity, but as one which should be connected to
what is meaningful in the total human experience.
It regards as the goal of a liberal arts education, not
nly the acquisition of knowledge but, more impor
tant, the development of those orderly and critical
habits of mind which are fundamental to all intellec
tual inquiry.
THE new school college is open to students who
have satisfactorily completed the freshman and
sophomore years at recognized institutions of higher
learning. Courses of study are offered only in the areas
f The Humanities and The Social Sciences. The
degree is awarded on the basis of student perform
ance in a comprehensive exnmination given after two
years of study. Classes are held in the day hours at
The New School's modern Greenwich Village campus.
Applications for Fall 1967 admission are now being
accepted. Interviews can be arranged during the
Christmas recess. Phone ORegon 5-2700, extension 72".
