the 5 pm consolation between Houston and Ohio State Coach John Wooden said the special defense placed Lynn Shackelford on the 6-foot-9V4 Hayes while the rest of the team formed a diamond with 7-foot Lew Alcindor under the basket "It was designed to keep Hayes from getting the ball and if he got it it would be outside" Wooden explained When he did get it outside Mike Lynn usually had a hand right in front of his face Shackelford scored 17 points second only to the 19 each by Lynn Alcindor and Lucius Allen as all five starting Bruins hit in double figures Playmaker Mike Warren contributed 14

least 60 hours and generally worked longer himself He did not smoke sel sion he played a little tennis and golf and saw an occasional movie "This is a different kind of war than we have ever had to

among members of the lS-natkm council that Israel's retaliatory attack on Jordan Thursday should be condemned TheWeather Friday that strategy and tactics were not at issue But in military circles it

number of US troops has swelled from 16500 then to more than 510000 now the enemy has roughly matched the allied buildup proportionately Official predictions of sizable allied victories in the opening weeks of 1968 were rudely shattered by the hammer blows of the enemy's Tet lunar new year offensive against 35 populated centers including Saigon Supposedly the cities were the safest havens in the

private negotiations but had not been able to win wide council support for it Up to the early hours today no resolution had been formally presented to the council Jordan had urged immediate
