Page 4 University Daily Kansan Monday, May 16, 1955 By DICK WALT Kansan Sports Editor KU basketball fans received a huge ray of hope for the future over the weekend with the announcement of Witt Chamberlin's decision to come to KU. The 7-foot 2-inch Chamberlain will come here with more ballyhoo and publicity than any player in history, for the prize Philadelphia rookie has been one of the most sought-after high school players in the history of the game. Chamberlin broke both Pennsylvania and Philadelphia high school scoring records with 2.252 points during his three-year career. In doing so, he led his team to three league and two city championships, and eclipsed most of the scoring records set by La Salle's terrific Tom Gola at La Salle High school The acquisition of Chamberlin makes him the second basketball giant the Javahaws have got from far away from the campus, as they got Clyde Lovelette, who holds most of the KU scoring records now in the books, from Terre Haute, Ind., after heated competition from several Big Ten schools. However, that campaign has been dwarfed by the furore over Chamberlin. In wooing Wilt away from the 149 schools who were reportedly bidding for his services, Coach Phog Allen has proved, as he did with Lovellette, that he can go get the big ones when he sets his mind to it. In landing Chamberlin, he has put the finishing touches on what appeared to be an insurmountable job, for there is little reason to believe Wilt had ever dreamed of coming to KU before Phog visited him in Philadelphia this winter. The acquisition of Chamberlin will mean many things to KU. Of course, it will establish the Jayhawks prominence in the national basketball scene in the future. However, it will also undoubtedly lead to an investigation from the NCAA, with a thorough look into the KU recruiting methods. There will be charges from the many other schools who were after the big boy and who will be decidedly bitter. Of course, the boost in the Jayhawk basketball fortunes will probably compensate for all the uproar. However, Chamberlin won't be eligible until 1989, and probably that Phig Allen will have stepped down from the coaching ranks by that time, due to the mandatory retirement rule. Wilt may cause some trouble, but he will probably be worth it. And the schools who would cast aspersions on the KU camp might well take the attitude of Jack Gardner, whose own actions provoked a great deal of comment and brought an investigation from the NCAA. In referring to Lovellette, who brought no end of misery to Gardner's Kansas State teams, the fiery coach reflected, "I don't know what he cost them, but he's worth every penny of it." Golfers Meet MU In Big Seven Play Kansas' golf team will seek to improve on a 6-4-1 record today, when it meets Missouri at Columbia. The Jayhawks, who have dropped their last two matches, will be anxious to get back on the victory trail, as this will be their last competition before the Big Seven championships this week end. In a previous match, KU defeated the Tigers, $9\frac{1}{2}$ to 11, although Kansas' No. 1 man, Bob Richards, was held to a tie by Missouri's Tom Faerbar. The two will clash again today. Kansas Coach Donn Everett' is expected to use Mark Nardyz and Noel Rooney in addition to Richards, but is undecided about his fourth player. Friday's dual meet victory over Missouri was the Jayhawks 18th victory against 29 losses in their all-time series with the Tigers. KU Beats Cats 6-2, Loses 7-9 In Second Game Kansas strengthened its hold on sixth place in the conference baseball race Saturday when the Jayhawkers split a doubleheader with cellar-dwelling Kansas State 6-2 and 7-9 at Manhattan. Wayne "Pete" Tiemeier pitched five hit ball and blasted a home run out of the park in the first game as Kansas jumped off to a 4-0 lead in the first inning and then coasted home to win easily. Wildcat pitcher Ron Bergen held Kansas to only five hits but walked three men in the first to pave the way for his downfall. Gary Fenity started the second game but was no problem to the Kansas State batters as they shelled him for four runs and five hits in the 3-1-3 innings he worked. Ben Dalton came on in the fourth and pitched the remainder of the game. Gary Padgett, who has moved into ninth place in the conference batting race, continued his hitting pace with four hits in seven trips to the plate. Forrest Hoglund went hitless in eight trips. For the Wildcats Kerry Clifford was the batting star with two hits in three trips, including a three-run homer, in the second game.

The ATO team had an average of $3.5 per man and was led by Robert Davies with a 78. Other members of the winning team were James Schmidt, 80; Gary Grose, 88; William Burns, 88, and Don Shade, 88. Medalist for the match was Don Burnett of the Phi Gams with a 75. Indianapolis. Ind. — (U,P) — A speed-dizzy field headed by record-smasher McGrath was in the making today for the Memorial day 500-mile auto race as nearly 50 cars and drivers prepared to battle it out for 25 remaining berths. McGrah, 35-year-old Inglewood, Calif., speedster, the only driver who doubles as his chief mechanic, dashed around the oval at a clip of 143.793 mph on his first lap to retake records wrested from him less than three hours before by two-time winner Bill Vukovich. Mc Grath Sets Record In Speedway Tuneup Rocky's Title Goes on Line San Francisco—(U.P.)Rocky Marciano, a terrific slugger with a tender nose, will defend his World Heavyweight crown tonight against England's Don Cockell, the awkwardly plump but fast-punching champion of the British Empire. EXPERT WATCH REPAIR This first Anglo-American battle for the heavy title in 18 years is expected to attract about 28,000 to Kezar stadium, an oval football bowl on the south fringe of Golden Gate park. Electronically Timed Guaranteed Satisfaction 1 Week or Less Service WOLFSON'S The forecast was for "fair, cool and slightly windy" weather. Temperatures probably will be in the low 50's when the stocky Marciano and the poly-oly Cockell square off at 11 p.m. EDT. Since the international "classic" will not be televised except on a closed circuit to theaters, promoters expect the richest gate ever drawn by a fight west of the Mississippi, approximately $350,000. 743 Massachusetts Marciano, the ring's first perfect-record heavyweight champion, is favored at the lopsided odds of 10-1 to register his 48th straight professional victory in his fifth title defense. Hawks Meet Missouri In Final Home Stand Missouri and Kansas were scheduled to meet at 3 p.m. today in a Big Seven conference baseball game on the home diamond in the first of two games. The second game will commence at 3 p.m. tomorrow. Lefty Wayne Tiemeier, who beat Kansas State by a score of 6 to 2 on Saturday, is scheduled to pitch tomorrow's game and righthander Ben Dalton drew the starting nod from Coach Floyd Temple for today's game. Tiemean has been the most effective Kansas hurler all year. The little southpaw beat Kansas State Saturday when he blasted a home run to aid his own cause. Dalton started off fine this year, pitching a two-hitter and a three-hitter in successive outings, but has since lost his control and hasn't been too sharp. For the Tigers, it will probably be Gene Gastineau pitching today and ace Norm Stewart should be Coach John Simmon's choice tomorrow. Stewart has been the most reliable pitcher for Missouri all year but was beaten 4 to 3 by Nebraska Friday when Bill Giles got a two-run double in the ninth inning with the bases loaded. Kansas has two men on the latest list of the Big Seven top hitters released by the conference's athletic association. Gary Padgett moved into ninth place with a .400 conference average and Forrest Hoglund is tied for tenth with a .375 mark. Missouri has only one man, left-fielder Jay Hankins, in the charmed circle. Hankins is in eighth spot with a .416 average.
