Thursday, April 8, 1971 Don 't Count Wooden 's Whiz Kids Out Next Seasoi D-6 THE SUN the season by activating him but I sure could have used him." Wooden later admitted his decision to let Curtis save an entire season was partially prompted by "what it might have done to the morale of the others on the team who were playing." Curtis could easily become a starting guard next October. At forward he is the ideal type of player to replace grad at this stage. "And he shoots very well from outside. He's a fine all-around player. Five other freshmen were on scholarship this year, two more than any other frosh team at UCLA.

Choosing a star among them is impossible because as freshmen they played like a welded unit. Keith Wilkes, a 6-614 forward from Santa Barbara, showed great leaping ability he grabbed 240 re game in a local junior coll He's thin but can shoot ball well. He sat out this season and will be a jur Wooden usually gets on two top-flight junior col transfers each season. The All-American Wicks was a transfer, as was Kei Erickson a few years bj Erickson now stars for Los Angeles Lakers. You can't count Wooden for 1971-72.

boundsand his passes were better than expected. He averaged 20 points per game as a frosh, the top scorer. The top assist man was fi-4 Greg Lee of Reseda, who passed off 126 times in 20 games. But so unselfish were the freshmen that as a team, they averaged 24 assists per game. Gary Franklin, a 6-5 blond with a soft shooting touch, is a possibility at guard be cause of the late development at forward of Hank Babcock, 6-5, and Vince Carson, 6-6.

Carson might be the prize in the bunch. At 195 pounds, he was an asset with his shooting and rebounding. He hit nearly 60 per cent of his shots from the floor and grabbed 145 rebounds. Babcock was a 78 per cent free throw shooter and came on late in the year as a scaring threat. Wooden likes.

He'll be a junior. Another is Andy Hill, a 6-1 guard who handled the ball well in spots for the Bruins the past two years and who has drawn praise for his development. He will be a senior. If Walton ever gets in foul trouble, 7-foot Sven Nater will be around. He's from Sweden and his first two years in America he was learning the "They play excellent defense, said Wooden one day with a smile.

"There are a few of them who could start next year. But that leaves further "problems" for Wooden because this past season he had others who returned. One is Larry Farmer, a high leaping 6-6 forward who played in spots and was impressive as a rebounder and defender the type of player uated AU-American Sidney Wicks. Larry Hollyfield, 6-5, has played in only two losing basketball games in his career, four years in high school, one in junior college By DAN BERGER Associated Press Sports Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) At last, some basketball coaches around the country sigh, John Wooden is losing almost his whole UCLA team. The Bruins just can't win another national basketball title.

Oh? The miracle of Westwood is that the glories of the past bring kids who hope to extend the dynasty, which now stands at five straight NCAA titles and seven of the last eight. The only returning starter for Wooden next season will be guard Henry Bibby, potentially a 50 per cent field goal shooter and this past season's most tenacious defender. Though the 6-foot-l Bibby had an off year shooting, he was tough in the clutch and was a factor in UCLA's 72-fi3 victory in the NCAA finals against Villanova. Wooden's toughest decision this past year was what to do about Tommy Curtis. Curtis hadn't, impressed Wooden before the season began and the fi-1 guard from Tallahassee, decided to sit, out the year.

But he kept and one at UCLA. He wasn't eligible for the NCAA playoffs due to the junior college transfer rule and, thus, was used sparingly by Wooden during the past regular season. Hollyfield is a quick, ag gressive, good shooting for ward with heft (210 pounds) and strength. He'll be a junior next season and could well start. But the pride of the 1971-72 Bruins are six or off a team this past year which was 20-0, averag ed 105.3 points-per-game and played defense the Wooden way, holding the opposition to just fifi.5.

Bill Walton of San Diego heads the list. The fi-11 car rot-topped stringbean weighs only 215 but Wooden says he coming to practice and worked out with the varsity. Before long, Curtis' improvement was apparent. He was blooming so rapidly that even before the Pacific 8 Conference title was won, Wooden could have used him. "It was quite a hard decision, Wooden said.

"I didn't want to waste is not fragile. In fact, Woo den's praise is virtually un ending.
