MU-KU Track Meet Today
The king and the top challenger will clash head-on today as the Jayhawkers tangle with the Missouri Tigers in a track meet in Memorial Stadium. Field events will start at 2:30 p.m. with the first running event, the mile, scheduled for 3 p.m.
Coach Bill Easton's team has picked up three sparkling outdoor recruits in Tom Skutka, miler; Blaine Hollinger, broad jumper; and Wilt Chamberlain, high jumper. All three are potential first place winners which should make this meet much closer than the indoor dual.
The Tigers, who have won only 2 of 17 outdoor meetings between the two squads, hope to regain some of this lost ground in today's meeting. The Bengals won an outdoor meeting between the squads in Columbia, $ 59_{1} \div45_{1} ^{2}。$
Skutka has performed brilliantly on the Javhawker relay teams this year which have won crowns in the Texas, Drake, and Kansas Relays.
Hollinger swapped his basketball togs for spikes just long enough to win the 1957 Big Seven indoor crown at Kansas City.
Chamberlain a ready has jumped 6 foot $ \frac{6}{4} $ inches this season which should be good enough to win the Big Seven conference meet at Lincoln, Neb., next weekend.
The Tigers have Charlie Batch, probably the greatest in a long line of modern day MU hurdlers, who should threaten both meet records of 14.5 and 23.3. Quartermiler Pete Orr and vaulters Karl England and Bob Davis could better the existing peaks in their specialties.
Phog Repeats Wilt Is Leaving
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UP) — Retired coach Dr. Forrest C. (Phog) Allen told a Kansas City television audience Thursday night that he still believed Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain would not play college basketball at Kansas next fall.
Thursday night Dr. Allen hinted the seven-foot all-America from Philadelphia would join the Harlem Globetrotters after working this summer for the Philadelphia city recreation department.
Allen told viewers of his weekly television program, the Phog Allen show, that Abe Saperstein, owner of the Globetrotters, had some connection with the Philadelphia Warriors. The Warriors drafted Wilt while he was in high school.
"Saperstein develops boys and sell them to the pros," Dr. Allen said. "I don't know how he and Gotleib (Eddie Gottlieb of the Warriors) work it, but they are pretty clever."
There have been reports during the past week that Chamberlain would turn professional with the Globetrotters for from $15,000 to $20,000 next fall, and join the Warriors two years from now.
Pro basketball rules would keep Chamberlain from joining the Warriors before his college class graduates, but would not keep him from playing with the Globetrotters.

This Minor Leaguer Satisfied With Position
ATLANTA — (UP) — The Southern Association is just another stop for prospects on their way up and old pros on their way down, but it's strictly home for a Little Rock infielder who isn't going anywhere and could not care less.
Second baseman R. C. Otey is one of a passing breed in minor league baseball—a hometown boy who made good without ever leaving home.
Few fans outside the class AA Southern Association have ever heard of R. C. Otey, but that fact hardly bothers the clutch-Hitting Traveler who is now in his ninth straight season with Little Rock.
Most of the fans who've watched the 34-year-old Otey during his long stay at Little Rock figure he could have easily played AAA baseball and possibly have earned a shot at the big show.
However, R. C. was born and raised in the Arkansas capital and nothing short of a one-way ticket to the majors would ever lure him away.
"I guess everybody dreams about playing in the majors." R. C. said, "but they all can't play up there and I'd much rather stay in Little Rock than chase rainbows in minor leagues scattered from coast to coast."
They did manage to get Otey out of Little Rock during his eighth season, but they had to move the whole ball club to do it.
Because of poor attendance last season, the Travelers franchise was switched to Montgomery. Ala. for the remainder of the playing schedule. However, the cellar-dwellers drew little better at Montgomery and the franchise was returned to Little Rock for the 1957 season.
Dari-King Delites
