University Daily Kansan SPORTS Houston Downs Marquette, 77-61
By United Press International
First round NCAA tournament action is over and 16 teams remain in the competition to determine the 1961 champion of college basketball.
At Louisville, Ky., Ohio St. battles Louisville and Morehead St.meets Kentucky in the Mideast Regional.
At Charlotte, N. C., Princeton meets St. Joseph's, Pa., and St. Eonaventure faces Wake Forest in the Eastern Regional.
At Lawrence, Kan., it's Texas Tech-Cincinnati and Houston-Kansas State in the Midwest Regional.
The final three first-round games were played last night and found Houston bumping Marquette, 77-61, at Houston while Arizona State edged Seattle, 72-70, and USC squeaked by Oregon, 81-79, in a pair of hysterical thrillers at Portland.
Eastern and Midwestern first round action took place Tuesday and here is how tomorrow's second round competition now shapes up.
At Portland, Ore., Utah plays Loyola, Calif., and Southern Cali-
nia takes on Arizona State in the Western Regional.
Friday's winners play Saturday night to determine regional champions and they square off at Kansas City March 24-25 to determine the winner.
Border Conference champ Arizona State and independent Seattle, who earlier this year staged an 87-80 overtime thriller, put on another exciting show last night at Portland.
At Houston last night, Gary Phillips and Ted Luckenbill popped in 27 and 23 points respectively to spark the easy victory. But the real story was the glue-like man-to-man defense which enabled the Cougars to pile up a 42-18 halftime lead and coast home.
Houston guard Dick Molchany put the clamps on Marquette's scoring ace Don Kojis and held him to 13 points.
Seattle's great soph, Eddie Miles,
led the Chieftains with 24 and Dave
Mills scored 22. Arizona's well-bal-
anced attack was sparked by Ollie
Payne with 18 and Tony Cerkvenik
with 15.
League All-Sports Lead To Kansas; OU Second
Kansas is out in front in the 1960-61 battle for all-sports leadership in the Big Eight conference after six sports have been completed. Kansas won this honor last year.
But Oklahoma's Sooners and the Cowboys of Oklahoma State are close behind the Jayhawks.
Scoring the schools from 1 to 8, according to how they finished in the various sports, Kansas has a leading low of $ 18^{1/2} $ . Oklahoma has 21 and the new member, Oklahoma State $ 22^{1/2} $ . With baseball, track, golf and tennis championship races ahead, it could go either way.
Championships have been well distributed: Oklahoma State in cross-country and wrestling, Missouri in football, Oklahoma in swimming, Kansas State in basketball, Kansas in indoor track.
(Note: Official standings in football were affected by KU's forfeit of games to Missouri and Colorado. Automatic last place is given in sports in which the schools do not compete, i.e., OSU in swimming, Missouri in swimming and wrestling, Kansas in wrestling.)

Chamberlain Sets 10 Marks
NEW YORK — (UPI) — Wilt Chamberlain, 7-foot, 1-inch ace of the Philadelphia Warriors, set 10 new National Basketball Association records including a 38.3 per game average this year to become the first player in league history to top 3,000 points in one season.
In what was by all odds the finest season ever enjoyed by a pro basketball player, Chamberlain set marks of 3,033 points scored, 38.3 average, 2,479 field goal attempts, 1,251 field goals scored, 1,054 free throws attempted, a .505 field goal percentage, 2,149 rebounds, 27.2 rebound-per-game average, 3,773 minutes played and eight games in which he scored 50 points.
Eglin Baylor of the Los Angeles Lakers ranked second to Chamberlain in scoring with 2,538 points and a 34.8 average and rookie Oscar
Robertson of the Cincinnati Royals was third with 2,165 points and a 30.5 average. Bob Pettit of the St. Louis Hawks was fourth with a 27.9 average and Jack Twyman of the Royals was fifth with 25.3.
Robertson topped the circuit with 690 assists for a record average of 9.7 but missed out on his attempt to set a new record for total assists in a season because he was sidelined for eight games. Guy Rodgers of the Warriors ranked second with 677 assists.
Bill Sharman of the Boston Celtics led in free throw accuracy with a .921 percentage followed by the .868 mark of Dolph Schayes of the Syracuse Nationals.
Team scoring average 118.1 per game for an increase of 2.8 points per game over the average of 1959-60.
