SAME OLD STILT—Wilt Chamberlain towers above everyone as he fires home two of the 18 points he scored against the freshmen Friday
—(Daily Kansan photo)
Many of those present had come to see the fabulous Wilt Chamberlain play but he was restricted to about 15 minutes of playing time as last week was his first week of full-speed practice after having a singer's node removed from his throat. However, he was high scorer in the game with 18 points and was also high man in rebounds with nine.

It took the varsity basketball team only 14 seconds of play to go ahead and stay ahead of the freshmen in the 34th annual Freshman-Varsity basketball game Friday night in Allen Feld House. The varsity went on to rout the outplayed freshmen 87-40 before 8,000 fans.
Coach Dick Harp of the varsity and Jerry Waugh of the freshmen used all of their players in the contest. Play became sloppy at times but the game could be called successful as both teams have been practicing for only three weeks.

The National Football League's magic word "defense" and the New York Giants and Chicago Bears shared the copyright on it today as they smashed toward their first division titles since 1946.
Defense Is Key To NFL Success
By UNITED PRESS
The Giants took a one-game lead in the Eastern race Sunday by throttling the Chicago Cardinals offense for a 23-10 victory. While New York snapped its first-place tie with the Cardinals, the Bears intercepted five passes and romped into a first-place tie with the Detroit Lions in the western race by crushing Green Bay, 38-14. The Washington Redskins handed Detroit its first 1956 defeat, 18-17.
Detroit and the Bears (each 6-1) led their nearest rival, the Baltimore Colts (3-3), by $ \frac{2}{3} $ games. Washington (3-3) was closest to the Giants (6-1) and Cardinals (5-2) in the East.
Only two starters from the 1955 PCC championship team are returning this year for UCLA, Bob Bergdahl, blocking back, and fullback Bruce Ballard, who alternated with Bergdahl at quarter.
The UCLA Bruins are returning 19 lettermen this year, three ends, two tackles, four guards, two centers, three quarterbacks, two left halfbacks, two wingbacks, and one fullback.
The $500,000 allocated by the major leagues to the ailing minor leagues will come from the major' reserve fund, and will go only to leagues classified AA or lower.
It was Chamberlain- who scored first basket for the varsity with a jump shot after only 14 seconds of play. The varsity went on to build up a commanding 18-5 lead before Coach Harp put the second team in the game with 13:01 left in the half.
Wilt Scores First
For the rest of the half the second and third string varsity units built the lead to 49-20. Ron Loneski, six-foot four-inch sophomore forward, led the offensive attack with six points during this time.
A Varsity Spurt
In the first seven minutes of action Chamberlain scored nine of the 18 points and guard Maurice King six.
Action at the beginning of the second half was a bit sloppy before the first string varsity re-entered the game with 14:38 left. The score was 53-28 but lost after five minutes of play was 74-28. Coach Harp took out his first team and used his reserves for the rest of the contest although Chamberlain did see some more action late in the game.
Chamberlain came back into the game with 2:47 left in the half and quickly added five more points to his total of 18 for the game.
Bob Hickman led the freshman scoring with six points. Loneski and King had 10 and 8 for second and third high on the varsity.
Last year Kansas defeated Northwestern in the opening game of the season. The Wildcats went through their schedule with only two wins against 20 defeats but their entire first team has returned along with a highly-rated group of freshmen.
Cats Are Improved
The Jayhawkers will have only three more weeks of practice before the season's opener Dec. 3 with Northwestern in Allen Field House.
This game will be a rugged test for Kansas and should be a good indication of how well the Jayhawkers will do over the rest of the schedule.
Best from the undefeated 1955 UCLA frosh team are tailback Don Long, guard Clint Whitfield, center Dennis Dressel, and tackle Bill Leeka.

Michigan State won the meet. The Spartans will be favored again this year. They returned four of their first five runners including Henry Kennedy who placed second in last year's NCAA meet just four seconds behind winner Deacon Jones of Iowa.
Orange Bowl Berth Goes To Colorado By UNITED PRESS
Orange Bowl schedule chairman Van C. Mussow announced in Miami that Colorado (5-1-1) has been picked to represent to Big Seven in the orange classic because of its "great play against Oklahoma" and last Saturday's 14-14 tie with Missouri that clinched at least a tie for second place in the league.
California Western recently opened and closed the year's shortest football season when it lost its only scheduled game 28-8 to California Baptist Seminary.
A bid to the Orange Bowl went today to Colorado, first team in the nation to land a major bowl berth, and Tennessee, Iowa, and Oregon State, had good reason to hope they won't be far behind.
In 1954, the UCLA football squad became the first and only undefeated and untied team in UCLA's 37 years of football history.
