OutpOlIs Russell, Petit
He polled 255 points, easily
out-distancing Boston's Bill
Russell and st. Louis Bob
Petit, winner of the first MVP
award last season.
Chamberlain put together
probably the greatest single
season IN the history of the pro
basketball circuit.
He lifted the Warriors from
the doormats of the Eastern
Division to a strong second
place finish. En- route he estab-
lished eight regular season rec
ords, including most points
scored C2,70O; highest scoring
average (37:6); most field goals
u,O65); most rebounds Q,94D
and most rebounds per game
(26.9.
And then in the first-round
playoffs, he poured in SO points
"a playoff record-in leading
the Warriors to a rubber-game
victory over Syracuse.
19 First-PIace Votes
He polled 19 of "a possible
hrst-place ballots, and more
than doubled Russells total in
the balloting. Russell had l26
points, Petit 124 and Bob
Cousy, BoSton's veteran back
court ace, had 116.
Chamberlain got all but five

Russell gaining three and
CouSy two.

AS to who'll win the cham

There are four fine teams
left" he said. Utah State has
good balance and plays together

theirs is very good and in Gen)
