By Ron Wilcox
The Kansas State Wildcats moved into a first place tie for the Big Eight conference race Saturday night with a 60-48 victory over the Colorado Buffaloes before 12,500 fans.
The 'Cats win snapped an 11-game Colorado winning streak. It also was the 11th straight win for the Wildcats. Both teams stand 11-1 in conference play.
MIKE WROBLEWSKI, who finished with 20 points for the game's scoring honors, scored the 'Cats first two points. From then on K-State was never behind. The game was tied at 2-2 and 4-4 in the early minutes of play.
K-State's biggest lead was 14 points with 11:20 left in the second half. Colorado was able to cut the lead down to four points, 50-46, with 3:06 left, but couldn't find the spark to keep their rally going.
Chamberlain Sets Scoring Record
HERSHEY, Pa. — (UPI) — Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain is slipping, but there's no need for concern — the 7-1 scoring machine has three more league games and at least two playoff games in which to top the century mark again.
Chamberlain, who scored 100 points in an amazing performance Friday night at Hershey, Pa., "only" tossed in 58 Sunday at the Philadelphia Warriors edged the New York Knickerbockers. 129-128.
What will Wilt do for an encore?
All Chamberlain will say is "I don't think I'll reach 120 points."
Paul Arizin's jump shot with 29 seconds provided the margin of victory for the Warriors. The Knicks were leading 128-126 when Chamberlain tossed in one of two free throws and Arizin hit the jumper.
Willie Naulis scored 39 points and Richie Guerin 31 for New York.
In other National Basketball Association games Sunday, the Boston Celtics moved closer to clinching the best percentage prize ($2,000) by beating the St. Louis Hawks, 123-120; the Detroit Pistons snapped a six-game losing streak by downing the Chicago Packers, 133-116, and the Los Angeles Lakers tripped the Syracuse Nationals, 124-115.
Both teams shot poorly from the free throw line. The Buffs sank only six out of 16 for 37 per cent. The 'Cats dropped in 14 of 25 for 56 per cent. Colorado had a better shooting percentage from the field, sinking 21 of 54 for 39 per cent, while the 'Cats hit 23 of 70 for 33 per cent.
Colorado was unable to work the ball into its big center, Ken Charlton. Wilky Gilmore, whom the Bucks rely heavily on for scoring punch, was held to only eight points by a pressing K-State defense.
COLORADO was hampered by the strong rebounding power K-State showed. Unendlessly the Buffs were able to take only one shot at the basket before the 'Cats grabbed the ball.

Top Ranked Ohio State Loses First Game一to Wisconsin
MADISON, Wis. —(UPI)— Ohio State has lost its chance for a perfect season, but it may be in a better position than ever today to prove itself the nation's best college basketball team.
The Buckeyes, who traditionally throw a crumb to the hungry mob, picked an appropriate spot for its first poor game of the season when it lost at Wisconsin, 86-67, Saturday. Ohio State lost only once last season, but that was to Cincinnati in the finals of the NCAA tournament.
With only one more game to go before the start of the national championships, Ohio State has eased its presshre and it could be full steam ahead for the Buckeyes when they go after the elusive NCAA title.
Several other NCAA berths were filled Saturday while in the top individual effort Billy (The Hill) McGill closed his collegiate career at Utah with a 50-point performance that gave him a season total of 1,009 points, third highest in the history of college basketball.
The tournament developments were:
—Wake Forest defeated upstart Clemson, 77-66, to win the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament at Raleigh. N.C.
—West Virginia took the Southern Conference title at Richmond, Va., by whipping Virginia Tech, 88-72.
—Bradley upended St. Louis, 58-47, to force a playoff with Cincinnati in the Missouri Valley Conference.
