In case the question comes UP,
the reason Bell and Chamber
lain have not long since dropped
football as a futile venture is
because even losing eight, nine,
10 times as many games as they
win is more satisfactory than
not participating at all. It's a
matter Of the students wishing to
remain on an equal sports plane

schools.

Pursuing Wilt
In Scoring Race
BY the Associated Press

Although Wilt Chamberlain

ketball game. the 7-foot Kansas
sophomore still tops the NCAA
list.
And right behind him is CO.

who in his way is just as
as Wilt the Silt.
NCAA Service Bureau statis-
tics, which include games of last
Saturday, December is. show
an average for Chamberlain OF
39.5 points in four games. Forte
who is only 5-foot-9 and rated
as a midget" among the big
boys who play basketball, has
IA S0.4-point average for five
games.
Chamberlain's figure shows a
big drop from his ASS average
Ia week ago and it's due to 60
lower since he was held to %
points by California Tuesday.
Still the tall sophomore, with
158 points, has accounted for
about half of Kansas four
game scoring and about 40 per
cent of the rebounds recovered
by the Jayhawks. His rebound
average is .235, based on all the
rebounds recovered in the
games. That's good for third
place in the national rankings,
behind Louisville's Charlie Tyra,

PARKER
Continued From Page AL;

Continued From Page ALI
Several attractive college jobs,
such as Southern Methodist, are
open and several pro vacancies
are in prospect, such as Balti-
more and Pittsburgh.
Parker said Sunday after the
Lions lost the Western Division
title game to the Chicago Bears
that he was fed up with the
trend toward dirty football in
the NFL and confessed he had
been thinking Of getting out of
pro football" for quite some
time.
The injury to Quarterback
Bobby Layne after a bruising
tackle by the Bears Ed Meadows
inspired the accusations that
Meadows deliberately tried to
put Layne out of the game and
that George Halas. Bears owner,
probably put Meadows up to 1t.
Better Offer Likely
Whether Parker has made UP
his mind to get out of the game,
or whether he is dissatisfied with
the club and its terms is not
clear. 1t is believed that his
present contract nets him in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 a year,
including bonus attachments for
attendance. etc.
Some say he wants a multiple
year contract. The Lions haven't
extended such a pact to a coach
since they hired McMillin on a
five-year deal in l94S. and three
seasons later paid of the final
two years Of the contract.
Parker. who was McMillin's
backfield coach in 1850, moved
up to the head coaching Job in
1851 and his teams won division
titles in i952-3-4.
President Edwin j. Anderson
stated fatty that he offered
Parker a contract, but that we
were not able to agree on terms"
The president made 1t obvious
there probably would be an Of
fer more attractive TO Parker.
While the coach said nothing
about negotiations or talks, An
derson told reporters 1t '1ooks

held in the near future"
