THE 6-FOOT-8 Hayes proved the master in the first meeting on Jan. 20 in Houston’s Astro dome when the Cougars won 71- 69 in their greatest test of an undefeated season. Hayes tallied 39 points to 15 for the 7-11/^ Alcindor. Ohio State and North Carolina open the National Collegiate Ath letic Association’s championship semifinals at the Los Angeles Sports Arena at 7 p.m., but most interest centers on Houston- UCLA at 9 p.m. Houston was voted No. 1 in The Associated Press poll and defending national champion UCLA was No. 2. COACH John Wooden of UCLA said of the Astrodome battle: “Lew played shyly. He was not aggressive and it looked like he was shooting in slow motion,” That game came just eight days after Alcindor suffered an eye in jury in a game against California. He had some double vision the next few weeks. “Hayes will not guard Alcin dor alone,” Wooden added. “You don’t play Lew defensively one- on-one effectively.” A year ago, as a sophomore, Alcindor was voted the outstand ing player in the national tourna ment as UCLA beat Houston 73- 58 and Dayton 79-64. Coach Guy Lewis of Houston says the pressure will be on UCLA this time since it lost the January game in Houston. Of Hayes, he commented, “He has played three great years for us. I hope he has two more great games.” SPORTS Network Inc., will handle the national telecast of the Houston-UCLA game with the Los Angeles area blacked out. The championship finals, start ing at 7 p.m. PST Saturday fol lowing the 5 p.m. consolation, will be telecast with no local blackout.

The Jayhawks will be trying to succeed where all others have failed against the racing Peacocks when they meet in the nightcap of the Madison Square Garden basketball showcase. “WE LIKE to run, but the worst thing you can do is try to move against a great running team if you’re only an average running team like we are,” said Kansas Coach Ted Owens Wed nesday. “We’ll just try to play our nor mal tempo and try to keep them from doing to us what they did to Duke.” Owens was an awed observer when St. Peter’s, a little known school in Jersey City, N. J., devas tated top-seeded Duke 100-71 in the quarter-finals after upsetting Marshall 102-93 in double over time in the first round. Notre Dame’s biggest problems are 6-10 Dan Obrovac and 6-4 sec ond team All-America Don May.
