...Quinnipiac College (enrollment 800) insist that their chunky, 5-ft-6-in. sharpshooter is one of the best roundball players in captivity. Last week Porky boasted an average of 35 points per game, a healthy five points ahead of such highly touted major-college players as Kansas' Wilt Chamberlain and South Carolina's Grady Wallace. In the national standings, only West Virginia Tech's Kenny Hammond ranked higher (36.1 points per game), and who ever heard...
Wallace (6-ft.-4-in.) is a modest graduate of the Kentucky coal-mining country. All season long he has been scrapping with Wilt Chamberlain and Chet Forte for big-college scoring honors, while his exasperated coach keeps urging him to shoot more often. But Grady prefers to feed the ball to his teammates. When he does decide to cut loose, he can connect from outside as well as from under-the-basket melees...
...University of Kansas' lanky (7-ft.-2-in.) Wilt ("The Stilt") Chamberlain is the most publicized college-basketball player in a generation. Before he graduated from a Philadelphia high school, the pros were squabbling over him; more than 140 colleges were bidding for his services. Still far from his prime, Wilt is just too big for most opponents. Ever since The Stilt arrived in Kansas, the university field house has been sold out for almost every game. Chancellor Franklin Murphy goes into weekend seclusion to avoid rabid fans "prepared to trade their honor for two seats." Even if Wilt...
...After 7-ft. Wilt Chamberlain and his University of Kansas playmates took a stunning 39-37 beating from Iowa State, Kansas Basketball Coach Dick Harp went into seclusion with a set of chessmen to work out the right moves for the return match. When the Iowa Cyclones came back to Kansas, Chessman Chamberlain slipped out from his post position under the basket, pulled three Iowa defensemen to the foul line with him, gave his teammates room to drive in for scores. While "Wilt the Stilt" settled for only four field goals, Kansas won 75-64, all but took possession...
Forte and Dwyer between them tallied 61 points. The fast, shifty, 5-9, 145 1b. Forte drove and scrapped his way to 29 points, about the same average which has made him the nation's second top scorer, behind Kansas's seven-foot skyscraping Wilt Chamberlain. He was outperformed by his side-kick, however, as the 165 1b. Dwyer made good on 9 of 17 shots, many from the corners, and 14 free throws for 32 points...
