"May Not Show"

Western is favored but, after
watching tapes of Villanova's
smashing win over previously
undefeated Penn, Western Coach
John Oldham said that his team
"may not even show up." If the
Kentuckians do make an
appearance, however, they may
find the floor play of flashy guard
Chris Ford, the awesome natural
abilities of Howard Porter, and the
solid all-around play of center Hank
Siemiontowski difficult to contend
with.

Anyone interested in winning
the finals, however, will first have
to answer to UCLA, winners of the
past four of these tournaments. The
Bruins almost slipped against Long
Beach last Saturday, as they seem
to do once every year in the
NCAAs, but some last minute foul
shots saved their game. Kansas,
their semi-final opponent is a large,
good-shooting team with a talent
for winning the close ones.
