Verdict In
On Alcindor-
Astounding
LOS ANGELES UP) — After
17 games of college freshman
basketball, the verdict is in on
7-foot-l Lew Alcindor and the
decision is almost unanimous. He
is astounding.
The high-rise center from New
York City, coveted by a hundred
colleges last year before he chose
UCLA, has averaged 33.7 points
and 21 rebounds in leading his
team to 17 consecutive victories
— most by margins of 50 or 75
points.
Opposing coaches describe him
as a younger combination of Wilt
Chamberlain and Bill Russell.
UCLA coaches shield him from
newsmen and seem reluctant to
comment on his exploits on the
grounds that too much fanfare
would be a disrupting influence
on an 18-year-old.
But other experts look on in
awe.
Varsity Coach Marv Harsham
of rival Washington State told a
reporter: “Unfortunately I saw
the UCLA freshman play last
night. What can you say ? Al
cindor is simply great. He can
hold you off with one hand and
put the ball in the basket with
the other.”
Former Boston Celtics’ star
Bill Sharman took a couple of
looks and pronounced Alcindor
ready for National Basketball
Association play right now. Shar-
man says he could be worth
$100,000 a year.
His team’s games have been
almost entirely against junior
college teams, made up of fresh
men and sophomores, and the
winning scores are invariably
over 100 points.
In one game Lew made 21 field
goals in 23 tries. In another it
was 17 out of 20.
Ag Wrestlers Win
Meet From SFA
The Texas Aggie wrestling
team won its third intercollegiate
meet by downing Stephen F.
Austin, 28-19, in a recent match.
The Aggie team members are
Jerry Saad, George Hollwedel,
Danny Ruiz, Phillippe Bohn, Mike
Waldrop, John Davis, Bruce Dav
is, Fred Lenzey, Chuck Witlock
and Tommy Ward.
Coach Russell K. Wieder’s Ag
gie wrestlers will host South
western Louisiana in G. Rollie
White Coliseum at 2 p.m. Satur-
The meet will be held in the
wrestling room on the second
floor of the coliseum.
All interested students who
wish to participate in wrestling
are urged to register in the coli
seum any afternoon between 5
and 6.
The Ivy League schools had ex
pressed opposition to the 1.6
level. They said no outside agen
cy, such as the NCAA, should de
termine academic standards for
a school. The 1.6 scholastic av
erage is based on a scale in which
4.0 is the highest possible score.
Two conferences, the South
west and Western Athletic, drew
byes in the March 7-8 first-round
pairings. As a result, the West
ern Athletic first round site was
eliminated, with its representa
tive going to the West regional
semifinals at UCLA March 11.
Because of the two byes and
the elimination, a doubleheader
of four at-large teams will be
played at Wichita State March
7.
Regional semifinals and finals
will take place March 11-12, with
the national semifinals and finals
being played at the University of
Maryland, College Park, March
18-19.
First round sites are at Vir
ginia Polytechnic Institute,
Blacksburg, Va.; the Palestra,
Philadelphia; Kent State, Kent,
Ohio; and Wichita State, Wichi
ta, Kan.
The regional semifinals and
finals will be played at North
Carolina State, Raleigh; Uni
versity of Iowa, Iowa City; Tex
as Tech, Lubbock, and UCLA,
Los Angeles.
At-large teams were named
Wednesday. They were unbeaten
Texas Western, with a 20-0 rec
ord; Colorado State University,
12-6; Loyola of Chicago, 20-2;
Providence, 21-4; Dayton, 18-4;
Houston, 19-4, and Oklahoma
City, 21-4.
Texas Western, ranked third
in The Associated Press poll,
plays Oklahoma City in a first
round game at Wichita March 7.
The winner will be one of the
four participants in the March
11 regional semifinal and will
meet the Missouri Valley Con
ference champion.
The other game will match the
Southwest and Big Eight Confer
ence titlists.
An at-large team will replace
the Ivy League entry if its data
does not meet the 1.6 require
ments.
The maximum bracket of the
tournament is 25 teams, 15 of
which will be conference cham
pions.
The first-round pairings:
East regionals: At VPI, March
8, Middle Atlantic state champion
vs. Providence; at the Palestra,
March 7, Southern Conference vs.
Yankee Conference. The Ivy
League will play Syracuse at the
Palestra March 7, or at VPI
March 8, if Pennsylvania wins
the Ivy League championships.
Mideast regionals: At Kent
State, March 7, Mid-American
Conference vs. Dayton; and Ohio
Valley Conference vs. Loyola of
Chicago.
Midwest regionals: At Wichita

bye.
Champions of the Atlantic
Coast Conference, the Southeast
ern Conference, the Big Ten, the
Missouri Valley, Big Eight, Ath
letic Association of Western Uni
versities and the West Coast Con
ference also skip first round com
petition. They play in the re
gional semifinals.

If nothing interests you as much
as research and development...
consider the advantages of a career
in the laboratories of the
David Taylor Mode! Basin
The David Taylor Model Basin, one of the oldest government
laboratories, has grown steadily in size and responsibility and
is now concerned with design concepts for aircraft and
missiles, as well as with surface ships and submarines. Its five
major laboratories conduct basic, applied, and developmental
research in these fields:
HYDRODYNAMICS—Hydrofoil craft, interface vehicles, novel
ship types, fluid dynamics, high-speed phenomena.
AERODYNAMICS—Aircushion vehicles, weapon release
problems, V/STOL aircraft, aircraft performance.
STRUCTURAL MECHANICS-Submarine and surface ship
structures, effects of underwater and surface explosions, ship
and personnel protection, deep-sea research vehicles.
APPLIED MATHEMATICS-Computer-aided ship and sys
tem design, automated data processing, numerical techniques,
management data analysis.
ACOUSTICS AND VIBRATION-Radiated, near-field, self
and hydrodynamic noise, countermeasures, silencing devices,
noise transmission.
An engineering or scientific career at the David Taylor Model
Basin offers you many advantages:
1. Because of the mission of the Model Basin, you can be sure
that you will be engaged in research, development, test and
evaluation not as a bystander, but as an active and increasingly
important participant. Whatever your discipline, you will have
the opportunity to apply it to one of the important projects in
which the Model Basin is engaged.
2. You will have the satisfaction and excitement of working
on projects that advance the state of the art and are of national
and international importance.
3. Working with you will be men whose engineering and sci
entific achievements have earned them wide reputations in
their fields. Your contact with them will be of immeasurable
value in your own development as a professional engineer or
scientist.
4. You will work in a campus-like environment with 186 acres
of laboratories and supporting facilities with millions of dollars
worth of equipment. For instance, the Hydromechanics Lab
oratory has a Towing Basin 3/5 of a mile long, 50 feet wide,
and 20 feet deep; a Maneuvering Basin that covers 5 acres.
The Applied Mathematics Laboratory uses four high-speed
digital computers to solve engineering and logistic problems.
The ultra-high-speed UNIVAC LARC performs 250,000 compu
tations per second. The Aerodynamics Laboratory is equipped
with nine wind tunnels, subsonic, transonic, supersonic, hy
personic, for the testing of aircraft, missile and airborne com
ponent models. Ten pressure tanks, and tensile and compres
sive load testing machines are among the devices used by the
Structural Mechanics Laboratory in research on hull structures
for ships, deep-diving submarines and deep-sea research
vehicles. Mechanical generators in the Acoustics and Vibra
tion Laboratory can produce known forces in structures rang
ing from small items of machinery to complete ships.
5. The management of the Model Basin is interested in your
professional development. It provides you with the oppor
tunity to receive financial assistance and time (up to 8 hours a
week) to attend classes at one of the six major universities in
the immediate area, which offer courses in virtually every
field. In addition, a number of graduate courses are conducted
at the Model Basin. Under a new program, several employees
are now engaged in full or %-time advanced academic study
and receiving full salary as well as all their expenses.
6. At the David Taylor Model Basin, you can reach the
$10,000 to $12,000 level within four years. In addition, as a
Civil Service employee, you get generous vacations and sick
leave, inexpensive life and health insurance, and enjoy the
benefits of an unusually liberal retirement program.
7. Within minutes of the Model Basin are the suburbs of
Maryland and Virginia offering excellent living conditions, un
usual recreational facilities, and some of the best public school
systems in the country. Because the Washington area is a cen
ter for scientific research as well as for government, it boasts a
large concentration of people of intellectual and cultural attain
ments. Washington, D. C. with its museums, art galleries,
libraries and points of historical interest is just 12 miles from
the Model Basin.
For more information about the David Taylor Model Basin and
the opportunity it offers you, see the interviewer who visits
your campus or write directly to Mr. S. DiMaria, Head, Office
of Civilian Personnel.
The David
Taylor Model Basin
