The West Coast Next—
Wilt's 39 Gets KU By Marquette
The Kansas Jayhawkers delighted some 12,000 fans by turning in a tremendous second-half showing to dump the Marquette Warriors 78-61 Saturday night in Allen Field House.
It was the last home appearance' for the Jayhawkers until Saturday, Dec. 22, when they return to face the University of Wisconsin.
KU will open a three-game West Coast swing Friday when it faces Washington University in Seattle. The same two teams will meet again Saturday, and the Jayhawkers will then face the University of California at Berkley Tuesday, Dec. 18.
As everyone expected, Friday's victory was sparked by another fine performance by Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain. The 7-footer dunked in 39 points after a slow start, and also delighted the audience with at least 12 clean blocks of Marquette shots.
But, unlike the earlier KU win over Northwestern, the Jayhawkers gave Chamberlain some excellent support, highlighted by great performances by forward Maurice King and reserve Ronnie Johnston.
Help For Wilt
This duo paced the Jayhawkers to a 36-30 halftime advantage, picking up the faltering KU attack when Chamberlain suffered a cold shooting streak. King wound up the evening with 16 points, and Johnston added 10 to rate as the third KU scorer.
Marquette was paced by sophomore forward Jim McCoy, who pushed in 27 points despite a brilliant defensive effort by King. Teammate John Glaser got 19 for Marquette, and did a fine rebounding job.
Kansas started slowly, with Chamberlain missing his first four
shots. He finally got a jump shot through the hoop with 16:55 left, after two goals by King had given KU a 6-2 lead. Gene Elstun, King, and Chamberlain combined to stretch this advantage to 14-4, but Glaser and McCoy sparked a Marquette uprising which gave the Warriors their only lead of the game.
A free throw by McCoy finally tied the score at 22-22 with 6:05 left. Johnston came through with his first goal of the evening to put KU into the lead, but Glaser hit a layup and McCoy pushed home two more of his 13 free throws to make it 26-24 Marquette.
Johnston is Spark
Johnston then tied it with a pair of free throws, Chamberlain pushed in a jumper, and Johnston banged in a follow shot to make it 30-26. Glaser got two more Marquette goals before halftime, but Chamberlain matched that effort and King got another drive shot to make it 36-30 at halftime.
Chamberlain, "held" to only 16 points at halftime, moved into stride early in the second half. After King hit a quick jump shot, Chamberlain rammed home 11 straight points to stretch the KU lead to 51-40.
Elstun contributed a field goal and a free throw, and then Chamberlain came back with three more puckets to make it 62-42. And while Chamberlain was dominating the KU scoring, McCov was doing the same thing for Marquette. The high-leaping 6-footer scored his team's first 10 points in the second half to keep the score respectfully close.
Chamberlain got only two more goals after this, but King and Johnston took up the slack by getting two more baskets apiece.
The box score:
MARQUETTE (61)
A total of seven KU players broke into the scoring column, but two of the Jayhawker starters — forward Lew Johnson and guard John Parker—failed to score.

Tubbs Is Honored As Lineman Of Year
NEW YORK—(UP)—All-American center Jerry Tubbs, whom Oklahoma Coach Bud Wilkinson calls "a player far more concerned with the success of the team as a whole, than in any personal glory," today was named the United Press Lineman of the Year for the 1956 college football season.
The likable, 205-pound leader, mainstay of Oklahoma's national champion team, missed by an eyelash of getting one-half of the ballots cast by the 235 sports writers and radio and television broadcasters who voted for the United Press All-American team.
Graham Gets Kirby Award
MELBOURNE — (UP) — James Graham of Oklahoma A&M, who freely gave up his place on the Olympic team to another man, was honored today with the Gustavus T. Kirby award for the greatest act of sportsmanship by any American on the 1956 U. S. olympic team.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy became dean of the School of Medicine five years after receiving his degree from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School.
KU Strengthens No.1 Rating As Rival Powers Are Upset
An early-season wave of upsets that tumbled five of the nation's highest-ranked basketball teams left top-rated Kansas and national champion San Francisco untouched today and looking stronger than before.
Louisville (No. 2), Dayton (No 6), Temple (No. 7), St. Louis (No 9), and Oregon State (No. 13) all were jolted by surprise defeats on Saturday night. They were joined in mourning by a large number of losing teams unplaced in the national rankings but favorites to win their games.
Kansas, however, kept right on rolling with a 78-61 romp over Marquette and San Francisco rallied in the last four minutes to beat Seattle, 57-52, and extend its record winning streak to 59 games.
If Seattle couldn't stop San Francisco in Saturday's game, folks have to wonder when the Dons will be beaten. The 1955-56 champions, ranked only eighth so far this season, were minus scoring star Gene Brown, out with a fractured hand, and center Mike Farmer sat out more than half the game with four personal fouls. After leading by 14 in the first half, San
Francisco fell behind but rallied in the closing minutes to win.
San Francisco next meets Loyola of Chicago in a Chicago Stadium tournament Friday night and probably will clash with the winning U. S. Olympic team, including former Don Stars Bill Russell and K.C. Jones, on Saturday. But a loss to the Olympians would not count against the Dons' streak of college wins.
Second-ranked Louisville was upset by Canius, 76-74, in Buffalo, N.Y. Charley Tyra, Louisville star, had 21 points but sat idle for several minutes with a forehead cut and that could have been the difference.
Dayton, runner-up to Louisville in last year's National Invitational Tournament, dropped a 67-59 decision to De Paul, as Dayton blew a four-point halftime lead.
St. Louis, never ahead after the first 10 minutes, took a solid 74-54 beating from Ohio State. Oregon State blew an 11-point lead in losing to Portland, 56-55.
