of Minnesota have a great deal
of pride in their baseball team,
and we can't take much pride in
knowing that the Twins are the
only major league ball club with
segregated training facilities"
In a special dispatch to The
Pittsburgh Courier the local NAA-
CP branch, on North Parramore
St., declared: I'VE are protesting
refusal of local hotels to have their
facilities made available, on an un-
segregated basis, to the personnel
of the Minnesota Twins Baseball
Club.
"OffIcials Of the club state
that they have been unsuocess-
full, thus far, In efforts to end
the segregated housing Of their
players in this city"
The Twins inherited a 1O-year
contract, signed by the late Clark
Griffith for the Washington sena-
tors, and it does not expire until
the end of the 1854 training sea-
son.
The NAACP statement conclud-
ed: "At that time, the club
hopes to negotiate a new contract
and, in the meanwhile, hopes the
segregated policy can be termin-
ated before the present contract
expires"
The local branch NAACP lodged
protests, via mail, with city Of
ficials, hotel arrangements and
newspaper publishers Of the area,
The Twins, like the Washington
Senators, who made the local An
gebilt Hotel their headquarters for
many years, will probably have to
purchase a motel or a hotel, out
right - like other major league
clubs have done - to be rid Of the
bugaboo Of racism.
The Twins have four regular
Negro players: Vic Power, Earl
Battey, Zorro Versailles and Leon

Chamberlain A Cinch
To Win 4th Sfrdighf
NBA SCORING Title

New York City (ANP) - With
the National Basketball Associa-
ton on its final quarter of the
season, it seems that for the first
time since he entered pro compeu-
ton in the 1959-6O season, Wilt
Chamberlain will not improve his
scoring.
Chamberlain, who broke pracuc-
ally all individual marks last sea-
son performing for the Philadelphia
Warriors, had 1885 in SO games
this campaign. This gave him an
average of 45.8, or almost 6 points
below his record-brealdng pace last
year.
But, with II games left, it ap-
peared that Wilt had the scoring
title wrapped up for the fourth
consecutive season. The Big Dip
per was well ahead Of Elgin Bay
lor, Of the Los Angeles Lakers
who had 2,1SO points for a 34.1I
average.
Third in the scoring race was
Oscar Robertson. The versatile
backcourt star of the Cincinnati
Royals had 1885 points for a 28.7
average.
Fifth among the pointmakers
was Walt Bellamy, second-year
star of the Chicago Zephyrs, whose
27.S average had been built on
1909 points.
Others among the scoring lead
ers included Harold Greer, Of the
Syracuse Mats, 1857 for a 1875
average; Sam Jones, Boston Gel
tics, 1,247 for pol; Wayne Embry,
Royals, 1924 for 1913; Johnny
Green, New York Knicks, 1,1S0 for
1877; Dick Barnett, Lakers, 1,071
for 1877 and Bill Russell, Boston,
1895 for 1872.
Chamberlain maintained his sea-
son-long edge over Russell in re-
bounding with 1925 for a 24.2 av-
erage, also below his 1961-62 pace.
Russell had 1,497 for 23.4 followed
by Bellamy with 1,0S7 for 1877.
Baylor, fifth, had 914 for 14.3.
Chamberlain (.525), Robertson
(519) and Bellamy (.51O were
second third and fourth in field
goal percentage. Baylor (.833) and
Greer (.S33) were tied for fourth
in free throw percentage.
Guy Rodgers, San Francisco,
held a slight edge over Robertson
in assists, 628 for a 1O.1 average
to GIT for 9.6.

Orlando, Fla. - Two objectors,

GENE WILEY
IS LAKERS'
UNSUNG HERO

the unsung heroes Of the Los An
geles Lakers this season is Gene
Wiley a 6-1O rookie from the
University Of Wichita.
Wiley has not won claim either
as scorer Of the Wilt Chamber
lain ilk nor .rebounder in the
class with Bill Russell. But he is
gaining recognition as a defensive
player with great potential in that
department.
During the early season, Wiley
proved quite a nemesis for Cham
berlain. In one of the early meet
ings between the San Francisco
Warriors and Lakers, Gene block
ed cleanly three straight dunk at
tempts by Chamberlain. This had
National Basketball Association
observers speaking of Wiley al
most in the same breath as Rus
sell for defensive skill.
Oddly enough, it was Chamber
lain that probably made Wiley as
a pro. The Lakers and the War
riors were touring during the ex-
hibition season and Wiley had new
er seen the Big Dipper performed.
Naturally, he was awed.
Il didn't think 1 could make 1t
with the Lakers," he recalls. II
had never seen Wilt play, so you
can imagine how stunned I was.
The only thing that kept me with
the team was the assurance that
nobody ever stopped him"
During the 11-game tour, Wiley
accepted the challenge against
Chamberlain and company and that
sent him on his way as a pro.
HE really accepted the chal-
lenge," says his coach, Fred
Schaus, land now he seems to look
forward to playing against him"
Before Wiley's arrival in the
NBA, Russell was considered the
only man who gave Chamberlain
trouble. The Boston Celtic aces
chief tactic is to force Wilt to
shoot his fade-away jumper further
out on the court. Wiley, on the
other hand, can actually get his
hand up above and force Chamber
lain to arch his shots. This cuts
down on accuracy.
Wilt, of course, can outjump the
average player, but time after
time, Gene has DETECTED or batted
a shot off Chamberlain's head.
The only way that Chamberlain
can score on Wiley, who is the
stringbean type with his 6-1O
height, is to outmuscle him with
his 6O-pound advantage.
Wiley hasn't been a big scorer
for the Lakers, averaging some
thing over 8 points a game, but
that doesn't faze Schaus.
I'VE don't care if Gene doesn't
score a point" says the coach. He
has learned to slip over and block
a man driving through so our op-
ponents are forced to change Their
style Of play"
Earlier in the season, Schaus had
this appraisal of his 24-year-old
charge from Amarillo, Tex:
He's getting the ball off the
boards and passes off quickly and
long for the fast break. He covers
the middle well on defense, too, al
though he's still learning.
"In college Gene earned a repu-
tation as one Of the best shot
blockers. Our scouts came back
raving after he cleanly swatted
down IL against Drake. Offensive
Ily, his jump shot needs sharpen
ing, but Wiley's showing good
timing on his tip-ins and he's sticky
fingered"
Wiley is such a reticent fellow,
that he's scarcely noticed despite
lis gangling build. He is so quiet, in
fact, that his illustrious teammate,
Elgin Baylor, has dubbed him,
"Gabby."
