C. A. basketball finals Saturday night against Ohio State, the Big Ten champion which soundly whipped New York University, 76 to 54, in the first semi-final game. Despite the superb play of All-America Jerry Lucas and playmaker Larry Siegfried of Ohio State, the biggest thrill for the 14,500 fans in the Cow Palace was California's victory over No. 1 ranked Cincinnati.

It was the second year in a row California defeated Cincinnati in the semi-finals. The Golden Bears surprised the Bearcats in the semi-finals cn route to the title last year in Louisville. Gillis Guards Oscar With Tandy Gillis drawing the guarding assignment against Robertson, the three year All-America was held to only four field goals and a total of 18 points. Robertson, collegiate basketball's all-time scoring champion, scored two field goals in each half. Darrall Imhoff, California's All-America center, led the Bear attack with 25 points.

He spearheaded a California rally that overcame an early 20 to 11 Cincinnati lead and sent the Bears to a 34 to 30 halftime advantage. Lucas scored 19 points. Siegfried, the Buckeyes' court general this year after being the team's high scorer a year ago, also tallied 19 points. New York's Tom Sanders, A 6-6 jumping jack, kept Lucas in check early in the game, but the fabled sophomore was not to be denied. He scored from the outside and on tip-ins in showing a wide variety of shots.

One of the first starters to be rested was 6 foot, 8 inch Ed Franklin, Who had three teeth extracted on Wednesday. 6 One Handers in 'Row The marksmenship of 5-10 Eddie Jakes stood out in Marshall's; 28th victory in 30 starts. Eddie sand 10 out of 19 shots from the field for 20 points, popping in six one handers in succession early in the contest. All-Stater George Wilson did his usual splendid work under the boards before fouling out for only the second time this year with 34 seconds remaining.

West Frankfort, counted out of the tourney long ago, continuad to confound the experts. The Redbirds got here by surviving three consecutive double overtime battles, and showed Galesburg why. The Silver Streaks had no defense for the West Frankfort hustle or .563 shooting from everywhere on the court. CU8S WIN 1ST SPRING GAME!

Bridgeport, the smallest school in the field with 385 students, used expert free throw shooting and fine re I i I i lowed to bat only 105 times last season for the Chicago Cubs, caught a full game Friday. And it certainly was more than coincidence that the Cubs won their first Cactus league exhibition game, whipping a barely recognizable lineup of a Francisco Giants, 5 to 2. Neeman not only responded with the first full route catching task for the Cubs, he also hit a two run homer off Sam Jones and he later became involved in the first umpire hassle in the six games the Cubs have played. He'll Work Again "And it won't be the last he'll catch for us," concluded Manager Charlie Grimm, Witn only a .162 batting average to recommend him from last year, and with" the addition of the veteran, Del Rice, to the catching corps, it might be surmised that Neenan would be pessimistic over his chances this season. "I think I've got a betteT chance to be the regular this year than last," says Cal.
