Stilt Scores 52 Points As Kansas Wins Remember all those “impossible” rave notices basketball coaches were giving Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain? Well, they may be true. The se v e n-foot Philadelphia point machine, who decided to go to Kansas and broke the hearts of dozens of other hopeful coaches, made his college debut Monday night and the results indicate he may really be a "superman.” Chamberlain scored 52 points and grabbed 31 rebounds — both school records — to lead Kansas in an 87-69 rout of Northwestern. A delighted throng of 15,000 at Lawrence, Kans., watched The Stilt rack up 20 baskets and 12 free throws. He had every shot in the book, but mostly be just reached up and crammed the ball through the basket. He scored the first eight points of the game and all of the first 11 points that Kansas tallied. Ruklick Fouls Out “The Stilt,” who calls himself “The dipper,” wasn’t 1 playing against any midgets, either. Joe Ruklick, Northwestern’s 6-9 sophomore, gave Chamberlain the best battle he could but fouled out with 9:43 to go after scoring 22 points to lead the Wildcats. Chamberlain broke the all-time Kansas record of 44 points held by Clyde Lovellette and B.H. Born, and he broke the rebound record of 24 held by Lew Johnson. About «Jhe only rap you could pin on him was that he missed eight free throws. Northwestern hardly noticed.

Zora Folley Winner On Split Decision NEW YORK (IB — Heavyweights Zora Folley of Chandler, Ariz., and Wayne Bethea of New York were rematched today for another TV 10-rounder on Jan. 14 at St. Nicholas Arena, where Folley won a one-point, split decision over Bethea Monday night. Folley, in his New York debut, was very impressive in the early rounds with his solid Itft hooks and solid right counters; but he ran out of gas in the later going and barely salvaged his sixth straight victory.

Detroit And Athletics In Player Trade JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (UP) - The Detroit Tigers, shooting to “win it all” in 1957, were planning another deal today after landing “prize catch” Jim Finigan in an eight-player trade with Kansas City. “Finigan could be the whole answer to our infield problem,” said Jack Tighe, the new manager of the Tigers. “But that doesn’t mean we’re through dealing. We could use another pitcher to go along with Billy Hoeft, Frank Lary and Paul Foytack.” , The 28-year old Finigan, who can play either third or second base, came to the Tigers along with first baseman Eddie Robinson and pitchers Ed Blake and Bill Harrington plus cash from the Athletics Monday. In exchange, DeDetroit turned over pitchers Ned Garver, Virgil Trucks and Gene Host and first baseman Wayne Belardi. Sex Like Yost The deal was the first consummated at the annual minor league meetings, but another was reported on tap between the Washington Senators and the Chicago White Sox, who are, interested in third baseman Eddie Yost. “We’re going to give Finigan a crack at the third base job,” Tighe said, “and move Ray Boone over to first base. If Finigan works out all right at third — and we certainly think he will — we can have both Boone and Robinson available for first base.” The 36-year old Robinson, almost as seasoned a big league traveler as the unforgettable Bobo Newsom, batted only .204 for the Athletics this year. However, during the past few seasons he has hit the majority of his home runs at Detroit and the Tigers, quite naturally, preferred him hitting for them rather than against them. Blake From Toronto Blake, a 31-year old right-hander who had a 17-11 record with Toronto of the International League last season, is being counted on in a relief capacity. The Athletics selected him from Toronto in Monday’s draft but turned him over to the Tigers three hours later. Harrington, the other hurler acquired by the Bengals, immediately was assigned to Charlestonof the American Association. The two “big names” the Athletics acquired were Garver and Trucks but according to scouting reports, Host, a 23-year old southpaw who had a 13-15 record with Charleston, could make Kansas City forget all about the other two. “Host has a great fast ball,” volunteered a Yankee scout at the minor league meetings. “He’s a little erratic with his control but he could be the sleeper in the deal.” — Housewife Is Top Olympics Diving Champ MELBOURNE (UP) — Patricia McCormick of Lakewood, Calif., rallied hard-pressed U.S. Olympic forces in the team race with Russia today by winning the springboard diving championship for the second straight time. The victory by the 26-year-old housewife, who won both the springboard and tower dives at Helsinki in 1952, gave the United States its 29th gold medal of the current games and set up a 1-2 finish by American diving beauties. Blonde June Stunyo of Gary, Ind., was second, and Irene McDonald of Canada third. Barbara Sue Gilders of Detroit gave the United States fourth place, for a total of 18 points in the event. Valentina Tchoumitcheva of Russia was fifth and Phyllis Long of Great Britain was sixth. The American point haul came at a time the Russians had closed the gap to within 21V4 points of the U.S. total with two gold medals in shooting and a few other scattered points during the day. Earlier today, Murray Rose of Australia dealt the Yanks a severe blow by winning the 400-meter freestyle race in the Olympic record time of 4 minutes, 27.3,.seconds. George Breen of Buffalo, N.Y.. America’s gold medal hope, finished third behind Tsuyoshi Ya mana ka of Japan. Mrs. McCormick, wife of the U.S. diving coach and the mother of one child, thus completed the third leg of an unprecedented double sweep of Olympic titles. No diver in Olympic history ever has won two gold medals in two Olympiads but the shapely Cafr fornian mow is an odds-on favorite to do it by winning the tower dive Friday night. ■ Mrs. McCormick, fattening her lead on every dive, compiled.,a total of 142.36 points in a performance hailed as one of the finest exhibitions of springboard diving ever seen.. She won by a wide margin over Miss Stunyo, who ended with 125.89 points. The Canadian girl had a total of 121.40.
