Fred Slaughter, who helped U.C.L.A. win its first N.C.A.A. tournament basketball championship as a senior under Coach John Wooden in 1964, died on Oct. 6 at his home in Santa Monica, Calif. He was 74.
U.C.L.A. announced his death but did not provide the cause.
Slaughter was the Bruins’ starting center from 1962 to 1964. They were 30-0 in 1963-64, the program’s first undefeated season, which yielded the first of Wooden’s 10 N.C.A.A. titles. Slaughter averaged 7.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per game that season.
Joining Slaughter in the starting five were guards Walt Hazzard and Gail Goodrich and forwards Keith Erickson and Jack Hirsch.
