Since hi:; high school days. Wilt has hern under tremend ous pressure. Perhaps the. greatest basketball prospect ever. Chamberlain was be. sought, bcsecehed and bewail- ; ed by college talent hunters. Once he made bis decision, the pressure did not relent. He was expected to turn in super human efforts on the basket ball court. He did quite well for himself. He broke all Kan- j *as scoring records and was al most universally regarded as the top college basketball play er in his sophomore season. Tt would seem by now that this young man should be entitled to | relax But what happens now. The j sir is rent with speculation. As n j matter of fact, there is as much suspense now about Chamberlain ns it was before it was announced that he would enter Kansas. The big question Will Wilt turn pro • rtd join the Harlem Globetrotters?

Rubea Gamez, Giants’ Pitcher, Improves Despite Virus Attack NEW YORK (ANP)—One night, last summer Rueben Gomez ex perienced one of the most humili ating moments ot any player In Alter the New York Giants* pitcher had accidently struck Big ■toe Adcock, the Milwaukee first THE CAROLINIAN baseman, on the wrist with a j pitch, he was chased off the field j at County Stadium in Milwaukee by the hulking Louisianian. I What happened was this: As Adcock walked toward first | base, he spewed epithets at the Slender Puerto Rict\n righthand ed. When Gomez replied in kind. Adcock started meancingly to ward him. Ruben fired the ball at him, striking him on the knee, and then fled to the Giants' dress j mg room. Obviously. (lomM got a good j going over from other players i and in the press. To many players, that might have, been the start of the end of their career. This would seem to have applied to Gomez, in view of the fact that he had en joyed his worst season sinco joining the Giants in 1953. But Gomez has certainly fooled his critics'. In 1936, he won only 7 and lost 17—a sort of reverse of his best sea son in 1954 when he won 17 and lost 9. He hurled only four complete games during tiic season. and took only 31 games to do it. This year in his first five starts he came through with four vie lories (all complete games) and suffered a single defeat Hi# set back. incidentally, came after he hod been sidelined by a virus at tack. His latest victory was a stun ning 2-to 1 defeat of the Brook lyn Dodgers before 34,000 fans, the largest crowd of the season in the Polo Ground.'. Gomez earlier had notched vic tories over tlis Pittsburg Pirates (twice) and the Philadelphia Phillies His defeat was adminis tered by the Chicago Cubs in a game in which he pitched five scoreless innings before, being knocked out. Ruben, a 29-year-old native of Santurce, P. R., simply explains his success this year, compared with his dismal failure a year ago. He says it was the result of being used regularly in spring training, whereas in 1956 hs saw only intermittent action. He says he needs work to be at. his sharp est.
