Stretch Run Carries
Bears to NCAA Title

| LOUISVILLE, Mar. % (AP)
Two miles from the spot
where an oat-burner named
Silky Sullivan got tangled in
his feet. another stretch run
ner named California has made
the West Coast a champion
again.
Canny Pete Newell's Golden
Bears from Berkeley reign to-
day as National Collegiate bas-
ketball champions after a ITO
victory over gritty West Vir-
ginia. Saturdays tournament
showdown was played almost in
the shadow of Churchill Downs,
where the mighty Silk proved
such a dud almost a year ago
This one was a stretch run,
indeed, for California-no bet
ter than ga two months ago
capped a 16-game winning
streak with the biggest victory
Of all.
Defense, a 6-foot-10 baby
faced kid named Darrell I'm
hof and a half-dozen versatile
and poised teammates moulded
together by a top-rank coach
did 1t for California in a title
game that kept 18,498 fans in
an almost constant uproar at
Freedom Hall.
Top H0nOrs for West
The scoring records and most
Of the other honors were left
to All-America Jerry West and
the high-powered West Virginia
team. The Pacific Coast Con-
ference champions concentrated
on Newell's theory of moving
the ball methodically and care
fully before trying a shot. and
making the other guy work as
hard as possible to get his
points.
I'VE play a little different
type OF ball back there" Newell
said. "Defense-type basketball
starts in the high schools on
the West Coast and gets better
as the players move into COL
lege. 1t was our defense that
cracked West Virginia's game"
The defense caught UP with
West Virginia's Streaking fast
break after nine minutes. At
the time. the Mountaineers-
champions Of the Southern
Conference'for the fifth straight
year--held a 1913 lead. In the
next Is minutes. including the
first two minutes of the Sec
ond half, California outscored
west Virginia, BALL, and
opened a 47-34 advantage.
