Just tossing in a kind word to the many Big 7 schools whose teams can do no wrong. The popular sport of "razzing-the- ref- when- he-wrongs-out-boys" is getting so popular maybe it should be organized. Special razzleaders could be elected and prizes would be given to anyone thinking up a gripe with a poetic ring to it.
The Aggies tried for $1\frac{1}{2}$ minutes to find an opening in KU's one defense at the beginning of play Tuesday night. Then John Parker, Kansas guard, stole the ball. The Aggies didn't score the second time they got their hands on the ball either. A rebound by Gene Elstun saw to that.
Seriously, however, a Kapsas player does occasionally commit a foul, and the poor official, though awed by the mass of public opinion against him, must do his duty and point the accusing finger at a Jayhawker. Sometimes (God forbid) he even calls a foul on Wilt.
A&M did its best to break up the zone with some accurate outside shooting and fancy footwork and passing. The trouble was, while they were taking an average of about 25 seconds to work the ball into position for a shot at the basket, Kansas was doing likewise in about half the time.
Perhaps the biggest factor in the success of the zone was Wilt. The Aggies didn't have to much trouble getting the ball in to Center Arlen Clark but every time 6-8 Arlen turned around to shoot he stared right into a big red number 13.
After giving Wilt our Hero Medal No. 1 for the night our No. 2 medal would go to Ron Loneski who drew even more applause with his left handed hook shot with 5:22 left in the game, than did Chamberlain after his one and only dunk basket early in the second half.
Somebody said, "Why doesn't someone give the band a little credit." Well, here's to Ed Masters and the band. Sometimes they are taken for granted but we sure would miss them if they decided to stay home and watch the game on television.
Kansas' track squad swept 11 of 15 events to defeat Michigan State in an indoor dual Monday night but even though the Spartans were rated as a tough team the victory
does not show anything definite.
The Jayhawkers will still have their hands full trying to win the Big 7 title again.
Michigan State was strong in one department, the distances, and time posted in the meet were just ordinary. It will take much more than just ordinary times to win the Indoor Championship in Kansas City, March 1 and 2, especially when Missouri's well balanced team will be on hand. In fact, Bill Easton says the Tigers probably have the best balanced indoor varsity team in the conference.
Easton says he expected a much stronger team at Michigan State and partially attaches the Jayhawkers success in East Lansing to the fact that Kansas was ahead of the Spartans in conditioning.
Wilt's 36 Points Tops All Scorers
By UNITED PRESS
Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain, Kansas' 7-foot sensation who had been forced to take a back seat for a week, regained a razor-thin lead today in the three-cornered fight for the national basketball scoring lead.
Whipping 36 points through the cords in a 62-52 triumph over the Oklahoma Aggies while Grady Wallace of South Carolina was scoring only 24 in a 79-71 loss to Clemson. Chamberlain boosted his scoring average to 29.94 points per game to Wallace's 29.90.
Tonight the third and smallest contender, Columbia's 5-9 Chet (The Jet) Forte, goes into action against Pennsylvania. Forte's average stands at 29.3 and he needs 42 points in tonight's tussle to overtake Wilt.

Their loss was a blow to the team, which has a 16-3 record—and is a contender for postseason tourney play.
