Scoreboard

P: After landing lengthy (7 ft 2 in.) Wilt ("The Stilt") Chamberlain, recruiting prize of the year, Kansas University's veteran (46 years) basketball coach. Dr. Forrest C. ("Phog") Allen, figured he was a cinch to beat the state board of regents' rule which requires him to retire this year because he has turned 70. But Phog's request for extended tenure was summarily refused. At long last Kansas has apparently tired of the loudmouthed osteopath.

P: Beating the water out of his way like a human paddle wheel, George Breen of State University Teachers College at Cortland, N.Y. thrashed up and down Yale's Payne Whitney gymnasium pool for 1,500 meters, had coaches and dockers doubting their watches when he was clocked in 18:05.9, a startling world's record which lowers the previous mark by almost 14 seconds.

P: For the first time since it opened its .doors last July, the Air Force Academy at Denver, whose only class is the freshman, won a national frosh championship. The Falcons' five-man rifle team scored 1,402 out of a possible 1,500 in a three-position (standing, kneeling and prone) match conducted by mail by the National Rifle Association, outshot some crack competition, including West Point and Naval Academy plebes.

P: Winner in 49 fights as a professional, six of them as champ, aging (33) Heavyweight Rocky Marciano said during a vacation visit to Rio de Janeiro that he may soon retire from the ring. Rocky is under pressure from friends and relatives to quit now, enjoy some of the fame and riches (the prize ring gross alone: more than $4,000,000) won in 241 three-minute rounds of boxing.
