"We counted on Wally Bunker, Roger Nelson, Bill Butler and Mike Hedluund last year, but they won only eight games between them," Lemon says.

"All four of them were hurting." Nelson and Bunker had shoulder troubles, Butler a tender elbow and Hedlund a strength- sapping viral infection. All are throwing hard again, but Bunker, 2-11 last year, is the only one Lemon lists as a starter. The others will be Dick Drago, 9-15, Jim Rooker, 10-15 and Bruce Del Canton, 9-4, with Pittsburgh.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Poise and a tentacle-like defense have" paved the way for UCLA's top-ranked Bruins through a number of close gam els to ust a hop and a skip into a fifth consecutive national collegiate basketball title.

The Bruins once were in the days of Walt Hazzard, Gaii Goodrich and Lew Alcindor, as a run-and-gun, fast lireak, a bundle outfit. Nrstr sorthis time around, says Coach John Wooden. 'It's been well known that we are not an outstanding offensive team this year," said the veteran coach. "Defense has held us up as far as we've gone. "Whether we've faced a man- to-man or a zone defense, we just haven't shot very well but I've never had a team respond ony better, to.

tight situations." Indeed, Wooden's five has been in hot water a number of times this season but so far, the.only loss in 28 games was 2J-S2 to Notre Dame. Stanford, which wound up the season 6-19, defended UCLA well and played a slow-down offense Jan. 15. The Indians crawled to within two points with just two minutes to play but UCLA hit clutch free throws to win 58-53. Southern Cal had.

UCLA down 59-50 with just 9H njihutes left in their Feb. 6 contest, but UCLA's viselike defense clamped hard and USC scored just a single free throw until the buzzer. UCLA won the key Paeificr8 game 64-60. following week the trailed 68-67 than one minute left and the Pucks owned the bail. But Bruin guard, Henry Bibby stole the ball from Bill raced; the, length of the court" for.

Then the Beavers dropped the ball out of bounds under pressure of the UCLA press and forward Sidney Wicks wort the game with a 20-foot bucket, 67-65. Washington State Feb. 27, the Cougars cut a UCLA lead to just 55-53 with seven seconds to play.

When UCLA reserve Terry Schofield was fouled hard and injured. Wooden took him out of the game for good sent in the team's best free throw shooter, John Ecker, who made two free throws a four-point victory. days later at Washington, Charles Dudley of the Huskies hit a free throw with 42 seconds to play, giving Washington a 69-68 lead, The Bruins came down, flipped the ball in for forward Curtis Rowe, who jumped over tall Steve Hawes and hit a 10-foot jump shot with 29 seconds left and the Bruins won by a pair. "It's unbelievable how they can win games like that," said Long Beach State Coach Jerry Tarkanian. "I don't think anyone who's not in coaching can appreciate just what that team has done.

It's incredible, up there in the northwest, in Utah. That was the most painful loss I've ever suffered." Tarkanian referred to last; Saturday's 57-53 defeat to Bruins in the Western Regional tourney of the NCAA. "We didL everything right ized their press, we rebounded? well, we ran out offense and wa reduced the effectiveness of- their inside game. But they jus? didn't make any Tarkanian said. Wooden lauds Jays' record LOS ANGELES (AP) John son long I'd heard about how Wooden, UCLA basketball coach, has offered these comments on the Kansas Jayhawks, his tcam'g, opponents Thursday night in the NCAA semifinal round at Houston; "Anyone who has won 27 games and lost only one has to be good (UCLA, like Kansas, is 271).

They are a big team, a good shooting and rebounding team and we are going to have to be at our best against them." Wooden said Kansas' 1-3-1 zone defense could pose some problems for the Bruins, who had difficulty penetrating Long Beach State's 2-3 zone Saturday in the West regional, won by UCLA 57-55. Gary Cunigham, UCLA assistant coach who scouted Kansas at the Midwest tournament a1 Wichtia, indicated he would be clearing up one misconception of Wooden's. Cunningham said, "All sca- Laver out of meet WHEATON, 111.

"(Bud) Stallworth is tremely quick and (Dave) bisch is faster, than he is giveiv credit for." On Saturday, Wooden had! told newsmen- he was.
