Above, an update on the Barbara Jean Marckle kidnapping. For some reason, The Times front page didn’t get microfilmed. All we have is the runover.

Lew Alcindor reached into the UCLA record books to become the school’s top all-time scorer.

Alcindor had been ailing with a painful left arch but scored 25
points in the Bruins’ 90-51 victory over Minnesota at Pauley Pavilion.
Alcindor, known now of course as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, needed only 62
games to pass another former Laker, Gail Goodrich, as UCLA’s top
scorer. Don MacLean ultimately became UCLA’s top all-time scorer with
2,608 points.

Just how dominant was Alcindor in college? Here’s a clip that
includes some great old footage and some discussion between
Abdul-Jabbar and Coach John Wooden.
