Stilt Gains
Scoring Lead
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Preti Sports Writer
Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain
Kansas' seven-foot sensation who
had been forced to take a back
seat for a week, regained a
razor-thin lead today in the
three-cornered fight for the na
tional basketball scoring lead.
Whipping 36 points through
the cords in a 62-52 triumph
over the Oklahoma Aggies while
Grady Wallace of South Caro
lina was scoring only 24 in a
79-71 loss to Clemson, Chamber
lain boosted his scoring average
to 29.94 pflnts per game -to Wal
lace's 29.90.
Tonight the third and smallest
contqBrier, Columbia's five-nine
Chet (The Jet) Forte, goes into
actiaj) again.1 Pennsylvania.
Forte average stands at 29.3
and heQ needs 42 points in to
night's tussle to overtake "The
(Jtilt."
Chamberlain gave one of his
i(0ty best' shows in Tuesday
night's triumph to regain the,
lead. The Qklahoma Aggies
playedf CoaclieHank Iba's famed
ball-control game to the hilt in
an effort to stymie The Stilt,
but the sophomore from Phila
delphia scored steadily and also
nabbed 15 rebounds to lead the
game in that department, too.

Co-Promoter Chris Dundee
expects a sellout crowd of 4.000
and a gate of $20,000 for this
second title fight and third meet
ing between the two Negroes,
30-year-old Brown of New Or
leans and 27-year-old Smith of
Cincinnati.
First Defense
Rangy Brown, a shifty, fast
stepping counter-puncher, is
making his first defense of the
135-pound scepter he won from
Smith an aggressive, muscu
lar slugger on a split decision
at New Orleans last Aug. 24.
Joe fractured his right wrist in
the second round, but his left
hooks had Smith on the canvas
twice in the 14th. Neither has
fought since.
Brown won the right to chal
lenge in August by outpointing
Bed in a non-title 10-rounder at
Houston, Tex., last May 2. Those
two defeats for Smith, plus a
knockout by Tony DeMarco and
a decision by Larry Boardman
totalled four straight losses for
Bud and aroused suspicions that
he is washed up that his legs
are gone.
However, Smith declared to
day, "I'll surprise Brown and
everyone else tonight."

Elston Howard .
Signs Yank Pact
Br UNITED PRESS
The New York Yankees will
have 12 left fielders in camp
this spring but the odds are the
one who'll be out there when
the American league season
starts is Elston Howard.
Howard, first Negro to play
for the Yankees, agreed to terms
Tuesday to give the world cham
pions a total of 22 players
signed. Elston's 1957 salary is
estimated at $12,000. He hit .262
in 98 games last season.
Unlike many of the others
who will be contending for the
left field berth, Howard has
"somewhere else to go" if he
loses. An accomplished catcher,
Howard is called ."my three-way
man" by Manager Casey Stengel.
Casey also uses him as a key
right-handed pinch-hitter.
More than eight million new
cars and trucks were registered
in the U.S. in 1955.
