Columbia Star Takes National Scoring Lead By JOHN GRIFFIN United Pren Sports Writer The little man's day dawned at last today In college basketball. Five-foot, nine-inch Chet (The Jet) Forte of Columbia has taken the national scoring leadership away from seven-foot Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain of Kansas on the strength of a 36-point performance Wednesday night against Yale. Forte’s brilliant showing wasn’t enough to save his team from an upset, for Yale notched, a 103-87 decision to take undisputed possession of second place in the Ivy League. But it did give the little Lion an average of 30.2 points per game, passing the 29.8 mark held by Chamberlain — who has been No. 1 in the national scoring parade almost since the start of the season. Two Other Upsets Forte notched only nine points in the first half Wednesday night, then got 26 in the second half. But Larry Downs' 31 points led Yale to victory. Forte’s feat took the national spotlight despite two other major upsets, both featuring that ol’ devil zone defense. Louisville, the nation's No. 6 \team and highest-ranked independent squad, was handed its second straight upset, 85-74, by Morelfagd State of Kentucky and Canisius ."ranked No. 11 nationally, fell short in a late rally and bowed to Marquette in a thriller at Milwaukee, 81-80. Morehead used a "two-three" version of the zone against Louisville and forced the high-ranked Cardinals to commit a bushel of fouls. It also held six-eight Charley Tyra, Louisville’s All-America candidate, to nine points during the first half while Morehead was rolling up a 47-37 lead. Fouls Prove Downfall Louisville actually outscoped Morehead in baskets, but More- - head got 43 free throw chances and sadk 33 while Louisville canned only 18 of 22 Tyra rallied in the second half and finished with 21 points, but Steve Hamilton had 35 and Dave Kelleher 22 for

Indiana's Center Is Leading Scorer CHICAGO m — Indiana center Archie Dees remained the Big Ten's leading individual scorer today, but his margin over Ohio State’s Frank Howard 1* slim. In 6 loop games, Dees connected for 135 points, 22.5 per game. Howard, * in 8 contests, dumped in 178 for a 22.2 average.

Horse Racing Take Boosts Slate Fundi LEXINGTON, Ky„ (UP(-State treasuries hauled in a record .total of $207,456,272 from horse racing of all types in 1956, the National Association of State Racing Commissioners announced today. The staggering total, ranging from the $73,861,755 realized by New York to the $75,881 collected by Nebraska, represented an increase of $20,466,684 over the 1955 total of $186,989,588 reported by the NASRC for its 24 members. Thoroughbred racing was responsible for the lion's share of the staggering sum with a contribution of $164,062,687 to state treasuries while harness .racing turned in $39,879,246 and quarter horse and fairs raised $3,514,339. These same sources raised only $6,024,193 among them in 1934 when the NASRC issued its first report. New York State, which takes the biggest, cut and has the largest betting total throughout the land, realized the gi land, realized the greatest income, almost triple its closest rival. New York received $73,861,755 while second place California got $25,742,293. Racing proved a major revenue producer for several other states, too, with New Jersey getting $23,795,966; Illinois getting $17,536,242; Florida getting $14,694,943; Maryland getting $8,763,519; Michigan getting $7,536,309; Ohio getting $7,107,270; Rhode Island getting $6,421,570; Massachusetts getting $5,641,382; and New Hampshire getting $2,819,719. Racing also produced more than $2 million in state income for West Virginia with $2,693,851; Delaware with $2,094,764; Kentucky with $2,078,639; and Louisiana with $2,063,975. No other state received more than $1 million. Today's Sport Parade (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By JACK CUDDY United Press Sports Writer I NEW YORK (UP(—Right now, ) the horseshoe nail that might lose ! or win the battle for Brooklyn in ’ defense of its National League ; pennant this year seems to be a I left-handed pinch hitter. At least that’s the impression one gets at Dodger headquarters, where there’s actually more talk about a portside clutch guy than about Roy Campanella’s surgically sculptured hands. The retirement of Dale Mitchell after the World Series, to go into business, left the pinch-hitting gap. And the question now is whether any one of six possibles can fill it. Even Pitcher Considered The half-dozen mentioned are: pitcher Don Newcombe, catcher Rube Walker, Infielder Jim Gilliam (if not in the lineup), pitcher Johnny Podres, Bert Hamric—up again for another shot at the outfield, and John Roseboro, a backstop hopeful who throws righthanded but hits left-handed and knocked 25 home runs with Montreal last season. The Dodger front office hopes particularly that either Hamric or Roseboro can stay with the club and fill the gap—in keeping with the club’s rebuilding policy. On the banks of the Gowanus, there is indeed a concentration on rebuilding. The disposal of Jackie Robinson sounded Brooklyn’s rebuilding key note. And other veterans will go when their times come—men like< Campanella, Pee Wee Reese, Sal Maglie, Carl Furillo, Duke Snider, Carl Erskine and Gil Hodges. Looking at Youngsters Meanwhile Manager Walt Alston and his aides will be more than ever intent during spring training on trying to pick out youngsters who can be blended in with the veterans—soon. Pitching hopefuls are Fred Kipp, southpaw knuckler from the Montreal club; and Roger Craig, Don Drysdale, Sandy Koufax and Chuck Templeton, who were with Brooklyn last season. Jim Gentile, a first baseman who hit 40 home runs with Fort Worth last season and led the Dodgers in all batting departments on their post-season tour of ■ Japan, may stick in Brooklyn this time. Likewise third-sacker Dick Gray from Fort Worth. And their outfield teammate, Don Demeter, who hit 41 homers in ’56.

Giardello Winner On Split Decision CHICAGO (UP)— A victorious but thoroughly dissatisfied Joey Giardello today rated Rory Calhoun as the next target on his path toward the middleweight title- , ‘Til do better against Calhoun than I did in this one,” Giardello said after scoring a split decision over Randy Sandy, a 9-2 underdog in a 10-round battle at the Chicago Stadium Wednesday night. The win was Giardello’s seventh straight ring triumph and ended Sandy’s string at five. . “I was overconfident," Giardello said. "I thought I'd knock him out in two rounds. I thought that for the last couple of weeks, ever since I signed for the match. "But I just couldn’t get off. I don’t know what was wrong,” the Philadelphia battler said. Giardello, ranked second among the middleweights the National Bpxing Association, was unimpressive in beating Sandy for his 65th win in 83 professionals tarts. Referee Walter Brightmore gave him a 48-44 edge and Judge Spike McAdams a 47-45 margin. Judge Frank Clark's v<Ae went to Sandy, 47-48. Os eight writers at the ringside, six gave Giardello an edge of one,
