Wilt Chamberlain and the NCAA Debate Heat in Boston
Boston club chief Walter Brown says no NBA team can pay Wilt Chamberlain what he earns in college and that he should be barred from the NBA. He calls NCAA sanctimony a travesty while Chamberlain struggles for Kansas, scoring just 11 in a loss to Oklahoma. Brown hints at trades if Boston falters, with coach Red Auerbach returning next season. In other notes, Ira Errett Rongers is elected to football’s Hall of Fame. CBS will televise the Florida Derby and Gulfstream events.
