Slow But Sure
Breaking an arena scoring record, Wilt Chamberlain scored 40 points Monday night to lead the Kansas Jayhawkers to a 82-62 victory over Marquette. Kansas started slow but there was never any doubt once the outside shooters found the range.
It was the fourth straight basketball victory for the Jayhawkers without a loss. It was the fourth straight defeat for the Warriors this year plus 10 straight losses last year.
Another record was broken when 9,300 persons crowded in to see the game in Milwaukee. Chamberlain collected 15 field goals and 10 free throws to top the old record of 36 points set last year by Charlie Tyra of Louisville.
Wilt is now shooting at a 32 point average per game. He scored 39 points against Marquette last year and has collected 129 points for the Jayhawkers so far this year.
Covering Chamberlain with three men sometimes, Marquette in the early minutes of the game took a 9-1 lead, but finally Kansas began to zero in and tied the score at 9:15 in the first half.
After the game was tied up on Wilt's dunk shot, the lead then changed hands until, with about two minutes to go in the half, Kansas poured in 12 points while the Warriors could only score once.
Don Dibelous, Marquette guard, finally broke the ice for the Warriors by pushing in a jump shot with 5:05 gone in the half. By that time the lead was so great that any Marquette effort would have been futile.
Kansas led at the half 33-24. For the first five minutes of the second half, Marquette didn't score and Kansas was collecting 12 more points.
Ron Loneski scored 16 points to be second in scoring honors for the Jayhawkers. Bob Billings was third with 9 points. Chamberlain was taken out in the waning seconds of the game after committing his third foul of the game.
Big Eight Teams Trim Foes
Most Big Eight teams trimmed their non-conference foes to size last night as Wilt Chamberlain led the parade by racking up 40 points against Marquette.
Kansas State used its height to advantage to overpower Purdue of the Big 10----70-73.
Missouri had an easy time as it walked away from North Dakota 78-40. Only Nebraska of the Big Eight ran into trouble. The Cornhuskers lost out to Notre Dame, 69-56.
K-State's Bob Boozer, 6-8 forward, scored 25 points to lead the Wildcats to their third consecutive win. After a halftime mark of 43-40 Kansas State, the lead changed six times before the Wildcats pulled tway to stay.
A. C. (Dutch) Lonborg, KU athletic director, holds three KU punt return records; most yards punts returned in one game, most yards punts returned in one season and most yards punts returned in career.

Attention IM Scorekeepers
The Daily Kansan's policy concerning intramural basketball is to print a substantial story about all "A" games and the scores of "B" and "C" games. However, in order to properly cover "A" games scorekeepers must include first names of all players on the score sheets. If no first names are included on "A" game score sheets The Daily Kansan will print only the scores of those games.
