JOURNAL WRITER WONDERS Is Bradley Better Than UCLA Ace? EDrTOR'S NOTE: Journal city editor I.yle Olson took In the NCAA basketball tournament last weekend In Portland, Ore. Following Is his version of what went on. By LYLE OLSON Journal City Editor THERE WAS NO question after Saturday night which team was best in the NCAA championship basketball tournament in Portland, won by UCLA, 91-80 over Michigan. Unresolved, however, a whether Gail Goodrich of the Bruins or Bill Bradley of Princeton was the most outstanding player. Bradley, of course, won the official verdict in a poll of 93 writers comprising the tournament press corps at Portland's Memorial Coliseum.

When 1 man scores 58 points, as Bradley did in ending his career against Wichita in the consolation game, who else has a chance? Nevertheless, were many who felt that Goodrich's 42 points and brilliant all-around play for UCLA against Michigan was an even greater contribu lion. Michigan Coach Dave Strack downcast in de feat, leaned little a Goodrich. a little lefthanded devi beat us," hi said. "I thinl a i great, but Good i stays i there 40 minut es.

When he left the game with 3 seconds to play, even the Wich ta partisans stood with the crow in an ovation that, brought th game to a slop for more than minute. My seat was a mere three rows directly behind the Princeton bench, but I didn't even wave to Mom as the TV cameras and protographers fired away at Bradley in front of me. I was applauding with the rest of the writers, ordinarily a hard-bitten crew'who haven't time for such emotional displays. It was a fitting climax to a brilliant career for Bradley, who has snubbed professional offers. FRESHMAN FIND by Pap' onshlp game which read: "To ell with UPI.

It didn't take long to prove he California rooters were right The Michigan team is huge nd smooth. Led by brilliant azzie Russell, Oliver Darden nd Bill Buntin, the Wolverines verpowered Princeton in the emifinals. Their front line bulges with rawn.

Contemplating this ferocious a a UCLA a John Wooden correctly decided that quickness a speed have to offset Michigan's size. After Michigan took a 20-13 a on the ol Wooden deadly outside shooting, the Bruins suddenly came to life with their blazing fast break. Simultaneously, their dreaded zone press began to rattle Michigan, In the last 2 minutes of the 'irst half, UCLA scored 15 points three for Michigan.

Goodrich weaved through the embattled Wolverines like a lefthanded wraith, scoring and stealing the jail, upsetting and demoralizing the Midwesterners. Halftime score was 47-34 for UCLA, and Goodrich took the opening lipoff in the second half 'or a layin that started the Bruins on the way to a near- rout. In the post-mortem for iress, Wooden reported his game ilan had worked perfectly. "We wore them down with our speed, and when we gained the momentum, they couldn't get jack in the game," he said. Strack, who hadn't felt quite so bad since he left as coach at Idaho five, years ago, pretty much agreed.
