Chamberlain Stars In Philadelphia Win United Press International Note to National Basketball Assn, record keepers: Be prepared to replate with the following—Wilt Chamberlain, Philadelphia Warriors.

Wilt the Stilt’s brilliant performance has him pacing the circuit’s scoring leaders with a 40-point per game average. The hometown giant also is tops in rebound averages with a 34-a-game mark. If the Philadelphia flipper maintains the stride, it’s good-bye NBA records.

The Wilt’s rebounding also broke a club mark of 39 held by Warrior Coach Neil Johnston. John Kerr led Syracuse scorers with 20 points.

Delaware Takes Top Rating In Small Schools NEW YORK (UPI) —The Delaware Blue Hens, playing for a coach who believes football should be fun, today snapped Mississippi Southern’s two- year grip on first place in United Press International’s small college ratings. Coach Dave Nelson’s Blue Hens moved from second to first following an easy, 34-14 victory over Rutgers of the major college football division. But the Blue Hens owe a vote of thanks to Memphis State, which gave them a big assist by upsetting Mississippi Southern last Saturday night, 21-6. Mississippi Southern slipped to second. It’s the first time Mississippi Southern failed to show in first place since UPI inaugurated the small college ratings in September, 1958. The Mississippi school led 11 straight weeks last year and the first six weeks of the current season. The nationwide board of coaches which rates the small schools for UPI gave Delaware 18 firstplace votes and 291 points. Bowling Green helped Memphis State shake up the ratings by defeating Miami, 33-16, in a MidAmerican Conference feature between Ohio teams last Saturday. West Chester (Pa.) Teachers moved from fourth to third with two first - place votes and 258 points. Bowling Green advanced from sixth to fourth with four first-place votes and 245 points. Middle Tennessee State remained fifth with three first-place votes and 215 points. East Texas State was sixth with 172 points. Miami dropped from third to seventh with 118 points. Memphis State advanced from 15th to eighth with two firstplace votes and 111 points. Buffalo (N.Y) was ninth with 102 and Western Illinois was 10th with 74.

Sled Negotiators ’■ Await Court Ruling ’ WASHINGTON (UPI) — Negotiators in the 114-day-old steel ‘ strike marked time today awaiting a Supreme Court ruling on the Steelworkers’ request to kill a Taft-Hartley back-to-work injunction. Federal mediators recessed I deadlocked contract negotiations . Wednesday after a 30-minute bart gaining session failed to make ■ any progress. Mediation Chief . Joseph F. Finnegan said there • was no use continuing the talks , until the union and companies . agreed on the cost of their var- , ious proposals. , Finnegan also said the bargain- [ ing teams seemed preocupied with the forthcoming Supreme Court decision on the legality of the Taft-Hartley injunction ordering the 500,000 strikers back to their jobs for 80 days. The court, which heard four hours of arguments on the injunction issue Tuesday, was expected to hand down its decision late this week or early next. It never has ruled on the constitutionality of a Taft-Hartley injunction. The court could call a special session to read its decision from the bench as it has done in some recent important cases. Or it could announce its ruling on its regular decision day—Monday. The decision also could be read on any other court day without advance notice.

Ernie Banks Again Chosen Most Valuable BOSTON (UPD —.Shortstop Ernie Banks, confirmed as the National League’s most valuable player, set his sights today on hoisting his Chicago Cubs out of the second division. The slugging prize possession of the Cubs, a powerhouse at the plate and an automaton in the field, Wednesday was named to an unprecedented second straight MVP award by the National League writers. But Banks, who set two fielding records while his team finished in a fifth place tie this season, said he’d get as much of a kick out of seeing the Cubs make the first division or pennant grade as he got from the award“I just wish the Cubs could have made a first division finish. That’s one of the few things that would give me as much pleasure as winning the MVP award again. Naturally, every player wants to win the MVP title and also to play in the World Series. I hope next year we can do something about that.” Banks clubbed out 45 home runs while carrying the Chicago National League entry this season to beat out another power-hitting infielder, Milwaukee Braves third baseman Eddie Mathews, for the coveted award. The rangy Banks, who recently signed for an estimated $48,000 for next season, hit .304, drove in 143 runs, collected 179 hits including 25 doubles, six triples, and scored 97 times. His fielding broke two National League records, the first for a shortstop with the fewest errors a season, 12, and the second for the highest shortstop fielding percentage in the history of his league. .985. The awara race wasn’t a onpman affair, but it wasn’t far from it. Banks polled 232 points of a possible 318. He led Mathews by 44 points and more easily outdista nc ed Milwaukee's Hank Aaron in third place, Los Angeles’ Wally Moon in fourth and San Francisco’s Sam Jones in fifth, the only players among 24 receiving votes who collected more than 100 points on the sliding scale balloting system.

(UPDChristy O'Connor’s 68 in Wednesday's “for fun” pro-celebrity tournament gave British golfers new hope today they would retain the Ryder Cup in matches starting Friday.

Individual matches are scheduled Saturday. t Britainwon the Ryder Cup competition in 1957, and O’Connor showed this year’s team was ready to try for a repeat.

Arab Nations Oppose French Atomic Tests UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. — <UPI) — Angry Arab nations fearful of radioactive fallout from a French atomic explosion in the Sahara Desert called on other nations today to support them in their drive to ban the scheduled French tests. Ahmed Taibi Benhima, secretary general of the Moroccan Foreign Ministry, warned Wednesday that deadly strontium 90 from such a test would threaten 200,000 Negroes, Arabs and Israelites in Africa and that untold harm might be caused to oases and watersheds on which many depend -for a living. New attacks on French policy were expected today from the Arab nations now seeking to line up further support from other nations for an Afro-Asian resolution seeking a U.N. ban on the tests. Introduction of the resolution was postponed until the Arab nations win more backers. French delegate Jules Moch told the General Assembly’s main political committee Wednesday that his country would go ahead with the tests, probably next spring, unless the United States, Russia, and Britain “renounce their nuclear armament.” The three atomic powers are now negotiating a nuclear test ban at Geneva and pending the outcome of the talks are observing a year's ban on further tests. “Let these powers agree to halt, under control, the production of fissionable materials for weapons purposes, to begin the reconversion of their stockpiles, to eliminate the vehicles from these explosives—in short, to renounce a monopoly in fact—and that very hour. France will adopt the same measures,” Moch said. Plan Decatur Club In Los Angeles Area Los Angeles area Decaturites are now forming a Decatur club, and anyone in the Los Angeles area is invited to join, Kenneth Chilcote, former Decatur man who moved to the west coast 12 years ago, said this morning. All former residents of this area now living in or near Los Angeles, or anyone who knows the address of someone in that area, are asked to write to Kenneth Chilcote, 14844 Orchard, Gardena, Calif.

Giardello Winner By Close Decision CLEVELAND, Ohio (UPty-An anguished roar which reverberated through Cleveland Arena Wednesday night came from Dick Tiger, British Empire middleweight champion. Tiger cut loose with the blast in the wake of his upset defeat in a unanimous decision for Joey Giardello in their 10-round nationally televised fight before about 2,500 fans. Visibly shaken by the unexpected decision, the 30-year-old, 161pound Nigerian, who five weeks ago registered a similar decision over Giardello in Chicago, let the roar speak for itself while he brooded in his dressing room. But the Tiger's manager, Jersey Jones, had plenty to say. “I thought the refereeing was the worst I have seen in years,' ‘ he exclaimed. “He wouldn’t let the fighters alone — wouldn’t let them fight in close ” Giardello, 29,. who weighed in at 160 for the return match, took a chorus of boos from the fans along with his decision. Rocked repeatedly by stiff hooks to the
