...Texas Southern's schedule. Lewis obliged Morehead, and last year the 6-ft. 8-in., 238-lb. Hayes led Houston's Cougars to the semifinals of the N.C.A.A. playoffs before losing 73-58 to U.C.L.A. and its 7-ft. 1⅜in. All-America center, Lew Alcindor. Even then, Hayes outscored Alcindor 25-19 and beat him in rebounding...
Last week was more of the same-much more. Granted, Alcindor was not at his best: he had injured an eye in a game the week before, and his shooting percentage from the field-four out of 18-was unbelievably low. But Hayes had the range. In the first half alone he scored 29 points (out of his team's 46), with delicate jump shots and driving, twisting lay-ups. Only the long-distance accuracy of U.C.L.A.'s Lucius Allen, who scored 16 in the first half and 25 in all, kept the Bruins in the game...
...twelve games, he has pumped in an incredible 202 field goals and 136 free throws for 540 points and a 45-point average per game. No one in college or pro ball even comes close this year (U.C.L.A.'s Lew Alcindor is averaging only 28.3 points), and with any luck, Maravich should break the alltime college scoring record (1,209 points) set by Furman's Frank Selvy in 1954. Pete's lowest score was 30 points against Alabama; his highest was 58 against Mississippi State. One night last week against Georgia, he rattled off 42 points, including...
...anything, the N.C.A.A. Champion Bruins are more awesome this year than last. Alcindor has hit on 62% of his shots from the floor and averaged 25.3 points a game; against previously unbeaten Bradley (whom U.C.L.A. trounced 109-73), Lew blocked eleven shots in the space of 24 min. For a supporting cast, there is Guard Lucius Allen (15-point average), Forward Mike Lynn (13 points), Forward Lynn Shackelford (12 points), Forward Edgar Lacey (12 points) and Guard Mike Warren (12 points...
Notre Dame Coach Johnny Dee predicts that at least three men from the U.C.L.A. squad will be picked in the first round of this year's pro draft. And those will not include Alcindor, Allen, or Shackelford-all of whom are juniors and thus ineligible. There is hardly an expert who does not expect the Bruins to sail through an undefeated season: in last week's two wire-service polls, only one vote for the No. 1 spot went to a team other than U.C.L.A...
