Sport: Scoreboard: Mar. 9, 1962

> Against the New York Knicks in a National Basketball Association game at Hershey, Pa., the Philadelphia Warriors' towering Wilt the Stilt Chamberlain had a hot night in chocolateville. He dumped in 31 points in one quarter and 59 in a half. With teammates feeding the ball at every chance, the 7-ft. 1-in. center, overall sank 36 baskets in 63 tries, added 28 points at the foul line. His game-end total of 100 points was an N.B.A. record, and so was the 169-147 score by which the Warriors won.

> At Zakopane, Poland, East Germany's boyish Helmut Recknagel, 24, soared 338 ft.—3 ft. more than the nearest competitor-to cinch his second straight world ski-jumping championship.

> "Give it a good wham," counseled Skipper Archie Robertson. Nodding, Dame Pattie Menzies—wife of Australia's Prime Minister—wound up and whammed. A bottle of champagne smashed across its bow, Australia's sleek America's Cup challenger [TIME, March 2] was properly christened at the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron. Its name: Gretel, after the late wife of Sir Frank Packer —chairman of the Down Under syndicate that spent $700,000 to build the boat.

> Operating on the theory that one good deed deserves another, Yankee Slugger (61 home runs) Roger Maris showed up in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to talk contract with General Manager Roy Hamey. His bags were already packed, should Hamey prove stubborn, but Maris was persuaded to stay. The clincher: a $32,000 raise (to $70,000)—or about $525 for each of his 1961 homers.
