Only Ernie Hardy, playing his second game of the season after eligibility woes, turned in a competent performance. The 6-3 Ohioan hit seven of eleven shots, grabbed a team high (with Bob Kanuth) seven rebounds and tried vainly to stop Columbia's patient, devastating attack...
...Wilson Sporting Goods Co. Gene Scott, 29, a Manhattan lawyer who never before had gotten past the quarter-finals of any major tournament, astounded the experts by reaching the semifinals before losing to Australia's top-seeded John Newcombe.

That evidence, argued Kennell, violated his 4th Amendment guarantee against "unreasonable searches and seizures."
