United Press International KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Akeem Olajuwon and Larry Micheaux have put together the ideal scouting film for Louisville — and it might rival “Franken stein” as a horror flick for Coach Denny Crum and his No. 2- rated Cardinals. The two giants in the middle of the Houston lineup each play ed the best game of his career Sunday in a 89-71 victory over Villanova that delivered the na tion’s No. 1-rated team its second consecutive trip to the NCAA Final Four and a semifin al date with Louisville. The 7-foot sophomore Ola juwon collected 20 points, 13 re bounds, 8 blocked shots, 2 steals and an assist and 6-9 senior Micheaux added a career-high 30 points, 12 rebounds, 4 block ed shots, 2 assists and a steal to give the Cougars their 25th con secutive win and their second straight NCAA Midwest Re gional title. Olajuwon was named the most outstanding player in the regional and was joined on the all-tourney team by teammates Micheaux and Michael Young. Olajuwon also had 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 blocks in Friday night’s victory over Memphis State. “Akeem had perhaps his best game of the year,” said Houston Coach Guy Lewis of his center’s play Sunday. “Not necessarily from a scoring standpoint but an all-around game. He was intimi dating inside and great on both ends of the floor. He sure made a difference in the way I felt on the bench. I’m glad to have this big rascal.” Olajuwon was 10-of-ll from the field with five dunks as Houston’s celebrated Phi Slama Jama fraternity held another rush party. The Cougars had 10 dunks in the game, including two by Clyde Drexler and one each by other starters Young, Micheaux and Alvin Franklin. Villanova coach Rollie Massi- mino expressed some displea sure with his Houston scouting report. “Obviously they must be bet ter than we thought if they beat us by the score that they did,” Massimino said. “That’s (Hous ton) an extremely talented team. They run very well and with the big guy in the middle (Akeem Olajuwon), they can be a tremendous team.” Olajuwon asserted himself during a 4 Vi-minute stretch midway through the first half, collecting six points, three re bounds, two dunks and a steal to trigger a 10-0 run that lifted the Cougars from a three-point de ficit into the lead for good at 18-11. Guards Dwayne McClain and Stewart Granger combined for nine points to pull Villanova back within 22-20 with 5:25 left in the half. But Micheaux and Young used power moves around the Villanova basket to score six points apiece and the Big East Wildcats could manage only one more field goal over the duration of the half to fall behind 37-27. Villanova went to a full-court press to start the second half and the Cougars shredded it. It tool just five minutes for Houstonit double its lead against tfe press, outscoring the Wildcat 16-6, with Olajuwon and Dres ler benefitting most from series of 2-on-l and 3-on breaks with six points apiece. Villanova was able to bre out on top early, but then tlx Cougars began to heat up witln 1 ()-() run that featured six by Olajuwon. After that Villaoo va couldn’t catch freewheelim Houston.

We play hard and never stopped tr to get back into the game." The game marked an endtc an era at Villanova.

Christlieb Battalion Staff The Texas Aggie softball team lost twice to Cal Poly- Pomona in Sunday’s final round of the 16-team double elimination Pony Invitational tournament, held in Fullerton, Calif., Friday through Sunday. After winning its first four games of the tourney Friday and Saturday, No. 4-ranked Texas A&M lost 3-2 and 3-0 in the fin als to fall to 14-6 on the season. In Sunday’s first game with third-ranked Poly-Pomona, the Aggies’Josie Carter hit a home run on the first pitch of the game to give Texas A&M an ear ly 1-0 lead. In the fourth inning, Aggie second baseman Patti Holthaus walked, was singled to second by Mary Schwind and went to third on a passed ball. Catcher Gay McNutt hit a sacri fice fly to give Texas A&M its final run of the game. In the sixth inning, Poly- Pomona third baseman Sue Ken’s Automotive 421 S. Main — Bryan 822-2823 “A Complete Automotive Service Center" Brazney doubled and went to third on a fielder’s choice. Kobie Murray walked and stole second, and moments later, shortstop Kay Nutter singled to score both runs. When the ball was thrown from the Aggie out field to Schwind at first base in an futile attempt to get Nutter, Schwind hesitated for a few seconds. By the time she threw to McNutt, Murray had crossed the plate to tie the score at 2-2. After the game went into ex tra innings, Poly-Pomona scored the winning run in the 10th when center fielder Lisa Doni- gan doubled, was sacrificed to third and came home on a sacri fice fly by Murray. Texas A&M, which has had trouble hitting and scoring runs this spring, finished the game with five hits. In Sunday’s second game, Poly-Pomona scored all of its runs in the first inning, as the Aggies committed three errors. All three runs, which scored with the benefit of Poly- Pomona’s only two hits of the game, were unearned.
