Wilt Loses Top Scoring Position
Five-foot, nine-inch Chet (The Jet) Forte of Columbia has taken the national scoring leadership away from seven-foot Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain of Kansas on the strength of a 36-point performance last night against Yale.
"Forte's brilliant showing wasn't enough to save his team from an upset, for Yale notched a 103-87 decision to take undisputed possession of second place in the Ivy League.
But it did give the little Lion an average of 30.2 points per game, passing the 29.8 mark held by Chamberlain—who has been no. 1 in the national scoring parade almost since the start of the season.
The new national scoring leader doesn't come up to Chamberlain's shoulder, but Columbia Coach Lou Rossini compares him to Bill Sharman, former Southern California ace now with the pro Boston Celtics, and says Forte "Can't be stopped if he can see the rim of the basket."
Forte's capture of the top scoring spot climaxes a season-long drive to overcome the Stilt's lead and also climaxes a fine personal comeback. He led the Ivy League in scoring in his sophomore year, but missed out last year when difficulties in his tough pre-medical course sidelined him for the last eight games.
The United States has won the Olympic games team championship seven times.
The Jayhawker track team will run against Pittsburg State College tomorrow night in a meet which could be considered a prep for Monday night's dual in East Lansing, Mich., with Michigan State's powerhouse squad.
Trackmen To Host Pitt State Friday
Coach Bill Easton will take the wraps off a new sprinter Friday night. He is Mike Cummins, Mt. San Antonia, Calif., graduate who joined the squad at the semester. Although Cummins is mainly a 440 runner he is expected to concentrate on the shorter hauls, such as the 60 and 100-yard dashes, in an effort to make up for the loss of speedster Charlie Tidwell.
Tidwell, along with Bob Cannon in the high jump and Ernie Shelly in the broad jump, will be featured in exhibitions.
The meet against Pittsburg State Friday night will be different from the usual KU indoor. The 300, 600 and 1000-yard runs will be included on the card because the three events are a part of the Big 10 indoor pattern.
The Javhawkers will leave for East Lansing from Kansas City Sunday night for their meeting with the mighty Spartans who are rated at the top of the tough Big 10 Conference.
Pittsburg State's Prentice Gudgeon has guided the Gorillas to four consecutive CIC titles. He will bring Mel Coates, conference high hurdles king and Lee Crawford, top 880 runner, to Allen Field House.
Meet Spartans Monday
Gudgeon, however, says, "We won't be ready. We've been running on grass and even on the street but we are looking forward to the meet and appreciate an opportunity to run on a good indoor layout."
The pole vault Friday night will start at 7 p.m., the high jump at 7:30 p.m. and running events will begin at 8 p.m.
It was an American naval explorer, Lieut. Charles Wilkes, who in 1840 first recognized that Antarctica probably was a great continent.
