Wilt Scores His Lowest Point Total
Colorado was out to stop Wilt Chamberlain in Tuesday night's game at Boulder and their sagging zone defense held the Stilt to six points. But it was Kansas experimenting rather than Colorado defense that held Wilt down, more than likely. Teammates took up the slack and the Jayhawkers won the game 60-51, putting KU into third place in the Big Eight conference.
The total was the lowest the fabled Kansas athlete has ever scored either as a high school or college starter.
Chamberlain passed up numerous scoring opportunities to pass off to teammates. He fired only six times, hitting twice.
Some observers said the Stilts' performance was in accord with a plan devised by Coach Dick Harp to revamp the Jayhawker offense in preparation for the team's early March meeting with Kansas State.
Others believed Chamberlain was hoping to boost his mates confidence that they could carry themselves to victory without his normal 30 points or more.
Harp issued no statement following the strange engagement in which Kansas led throughout. The Jayhawkers held a 27-19 lead at half-time but Colorado, paced by Terry Schroeder, vaulted back to cut the margin to nine points at the gun Schroeder scored *points*.
The victory was Kansas' fourth against two losses in conference play. The Jayhawkers are still in third place in the Big Eight, trailing both Kansas State and Oklahoma
Wilt, bottled up by three players most of the game, was able to get off only six shots in the entire game He hit a field goal and a free shoot for three points in each half.
Al Donaghue with 15 points, and Ron Loneski and Bob Billings with 14 each kept Kansas ahead all the way. The lead at halftime was 27-19 and the margin was increased by 14 points three times in the second half.
Baylor Star Leaves OU
Oklahoma will not have the services of freshman track and football star Mike McClellan who quit Baylor last week.
"The case is closed as far as we're concerned," Oklahoma athletic officials said Monday. "Mike is not coming to Oklahoma."
After McClellan quit Baylor a week ago, Baylor officials accused the Sooners of unethical tactics in trying to get McClellan to come to OU. After leaving Baylor, McClellan promptly went to Norman and started enrollment procedure.
OU athletic director Bud Wilkinson said McClellan would not be allowed to participate in athletics until Oklahoma had a letter from Baylor athletic officials saying McClellan had not been recruited by CU. Baylor refused to submit such a letter.
Yesterday McClellan issued this statement:
"I wanted to come to Oklahoma but Oklahoma does not fee that they should offer me a scholarship since Baylor won't give me an unconditional release. I have no plans for the future."

No, Mother, There Isn't A Pool In The Field House
(Editor's note—This is the second in a series of articles dealing with swimming at KU.)
Bv GEORGE ANTHAN
(Daily Kansan Sports Editor)
A mother, visiting KU to see her daughter perform in a water show, asked, "Why do you swim down in this hole—why don't you use that nice pool in your new field house?"
"We hope to build a physical education building northwest of Allen Field House," Athletic Director Dutch Lonborg said.
Unfortunately there is no pool in the field house. There may, however, be one near the field house in the future—near or far.
"A new pool is one of the things we want and need badly. We hope to have an outdoor and indoor area," he said.
An estimate is about $1,200,000 for a new physical education building that would include a 75-foot by 75-meter pool (this could be used for NCAA and AAU competition), four full-length basketball courts, four classrooms, 10 offices and locker rooms.
What will it cost?
Would Give Ample Room
This would give ample facilities not only for competitive swimming but for physical education for the
entire student body, underestimated in importance in this country as was demonstrated in the 1956 Olympics.
Of KU's 8,500 students, a low estimate would be that 20 per cent, 1,700, cannot swim.
Jay Markley, swimming coach, estimates that 15 classes in beginning swimming are necessary at the University. Only four or five are possible with present facilities.
Markley's plan for a 75-foot by 75-meter pool would allow more than enough room for beginning classes and competitive swimming practice at the same time.
Two hours of competitive swimming practice and three hours of free swim per day keep the present pool crowded.
But $1,200,000 is a lot of money. Where is it going to come from? It would probably come from the legislature since a new physical education building including a pool would be for the education of the students and not connected with any gate receipts.
As it now stands, 158 intramural basketball teams play on two courts, divided into four miniature ones. Teams consider themselves lucky to get to play, much less to practice.
Henry Shenk, associate professor of physical education, said there has been some thinking along the lines of a new physical education building but no real planning.
Concerning a required physical education program Shenk said, "I think I'd be in favor of a required program with the student being able to select from various electives."
When it comes to swimming Markley quotes a more realistic figure, $250,000. That's what it would take to build swimming facilities and a building around them.
More Realistic Price
But a new pool would not attract thousands of spectators so its building will probably lag.
Meanwhile another individual sport drops farther back and more of this nation's so-called sports minded people confine their activity to watching rather than participating.
It's the other way around in Russia.
