The winners meet Saturday to decide who goes to the nationals. Top Rteord UCLA, three straight titles and Lew Akindor behind them, go into action with a 24-2 record.

The 49ers, just weaned from the college division and tbeir mark still to be made, enters with a 23-3 record. Many observers are calling the UCLA-Long Beach hassle the real championship game. Washington coach Tex Winter for one thinks the 49ers are tho real sleepers of the tourney. With their zone defense and their good running game, Winter says the 49ers are the team to watch. Fright Tarkanian certainly is watching his team.

He frankly admits he's worried about his.sijuad having stage fright in its first major tournament appearance "My wife asked me if I thought we could win," Tarkan- ian said at a news gathering Wednesday night. "I told her we could win by as many as three winls or lose by as much as 0. That's how wide the margin Blitz "It we don't get blitzed early, we can make it a real close But UCLA has blitzed three-quarters of. the tems they've faced. "I don't know how good a team we have," he added, "but we're certainly going to find out." Wooden doesn't have doubts about the 49ers.

Count 'em: There are high school teams, slo-pitch, little league, Babe Ruth, junior league, rookie league, girls kague, college league, semi- pros, Ameican Legion, etc. Now multiply that by the number of towns in the area because it seems like they all have at least one of each.

Like baseball, track and field season is nearly here. East Central League initial meets are slated March 20 when Teriino and Eatonyille visit Yelm and March 23 when Rochester pairs off against the St. Martin's Bangers, ia Lacey. In the South Central loop, St. Helens goes to White Pass, Onalaska shows up at Morton and Toledo puts in an appearance at Mossyrock, all on April 3.
