To get himself in shape, Ernie ran plays in practice with the Browns last fall and played winter basketball with the Browns' team. Then one day last week, he noticed new glandular swelling and quietly checked into Cleveland's Lakeside Hospital. Just 36 hours later, Ernie Davis, 23, was dead...

Gone is the day of the glandular goon who could do little more than stand beneath the basket and stuff in rebounds. Philadelphia's Wilt ("The Stilt") Chamberlain, who leads the N.B.A. in scoring with an average 37.8, stands 7 ft. 2 in., but has the speed and agility to be a marvel were he half a foot shorter. St. Louis' Bob Pettit (6 ft. 9 in.) is quick and graceful, Boston's Bill Russell (6 ft. 10 in.) is a defensive and rebounding genius, Los Angeles' Elgin Baylor (6 ft. 5 in.) combines the brute...
