University Daily Kansan Thursday, May 12. 1953
By DICK WALT
Kansan Sports Editor
From all reports, it looks as though KU's attempts to lure Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlin, the fabulous 7-0 high school senior from Philadelphia, may be successful. Philadelphia newspapers have been reporting stories from supposed "inside sources" saying that Wilt will come to KU, and predicting that he will announce his decision within a week.
"The big kid isn't talking himself, but from all reports he had narrowed the field down to Pennsylvania and Kansas a month ago. Then the Stilt came to KU for the big KU. Relays week end, and seemed to have a wonderful time while he was here.
The mere fact that Chamberlin chose to visit Mt. Oread that week end may be indicative of his decision, for the Penn Relays, one of the biggest track carnivals in the East, was held the same week end as the KU production.
If Chamberlin does come to KU he will arrive with more publicity than any athlete in the history of the school. The giant Clyde Lovellette received a terrific fanfare, but is doesn't stack up against the towering man from Philadelphia. And if this is any indication. Wilt should really be great for a look at the records will reassure any doubters of Clyde's ability.
Of course, we're making our predictions a little early, for Chamberlin himself has issued no word. So maybe we're counting our chickens before they're hatched, but what a dream. Allen fieldhouse, literally filled to the rafters with 17,000 fans and Wilt Chamberlin—that'll be the day.
KU Rifle Team Wins 4th Place

There were more home runs hit in Cincinnati's Crossey field, 199, than in any other National league park during 1954.

In preparation for the upcoming Big Seven track meet here next week, KU and Missouri are slated for a dual meet at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow in Memorial stadium.
With the Tigers holding a 29-17 edge in the 47 year history of the meet, they are expected to win over the Jayhawkers, but not too easily. The half-mile, the mile, the two-mile, and the high hurdles are expected to be the pivot races of the meet.
If Missouri can gain a 1-2 finish in the 880-yard run, repeat its hurdles dominance of the winter's indoor dual meet, and cut in for seconds in the two long runs, the Tigers could down the Kansans and end their two-year win streak.
KU will probably run Mike Swanson who has a 1.53.9 time for the half mile, along with Lowell Janzen, who has a 1.53.2 time this year. The Tigers are expected to counter with Bill Duncan and Morris McQuinn, who finished 2-3 in the indoor championships, along with Duane Kelley.
Lynn Romann, a re-converted two-miler, and Charles Williams might have enough to avert KU's five place sweep of the mile and two-mile runs which occurred in the two team's indoor meeting. Romann has a 4:17.2 time in the mile and Williams has a 9:37.8 time in the two-mile run.
Coach Bill Easton will probably run A1 Frame, Bernie Gay, and Mike Swanson in the mile. Frame's time in the mile this year is 14:14. Frame, Jan Howell, and Tom Rupp will probably run in the two-mile event. Frame has a 14:59 in this run for the year.
