Beatin’ The Gum
Wilt-Gha(i*berlain is a
able young' iMn. He has demon¬
itrated MlUMeWarkablc skill on the
basketball uourt. Under a combi¬
nation (ff (| ji^uinstanccs faced by
cratioh/UAUffbrrlain no othei' college athlete of this gen-
proved him¬
self to be m r remarkably balanced
individual. Success—and he ha:
had it has not gone to his head.
Since his high school days, Wilt
has been under tremendous pres-
ure. Perhaps the greatest basket-
ball prospect ever, Chamberlain
was besought, bcsceched and be¬
wailed by college talent hunters.
Once he made his decision, the
pressure did not relent. He was
expected to turn in superhuman
efforts on the basketball court. He
did guile well for himself. He
broke all Kansas scoring record'
•»nd was almost universally re¬
garded as the top college basket¬
ball player in his sophomore sea¬
son.
It would seem by now that this
young man should be entitled to
relax. But what happens now.
The air is rent with speculation.
As a matter of fact, there is as
much suspense now about Cham¬
berlain as it was before it was an¬
nounced that he would enter Kan-
as. The big question: Will Wilt
turn pro and join the Harlpm
Globetrotters?
The story gained currency with
a Kansas City, Mo., newspaper¬
man broke a story that Chamber-
lain would play with the
trotters at a salary of $ 15,000
yearly, beginning next fall.
This story was followed by on-
Hgain-off-again statements attrib¬
uted to Phog Allen, Kansas former
basketball coach and the man cred¬
ited with masterminding the bring¬
ing of Wilt to the Jayhawks’
rumpus. Allen was quoted by
newspapers in Buffalo as saying
that Wilt would join the Globe¬
trotters.
The venerable ex-coach repudi¬
ated the statement, then, on a
television program, was again on
the record as •declaring that Cham¬
berlain's college basketball playing
were over.
The original newspaper story
bad quoted Chamberlain as saying
that playing basketball was a job
as long as he was doing it, he
might as well be paid for it.
That reminded this writer of the
and cry among some pro bas¬
moguls that Wilt was earn¬
ing more as a college player than
pro team,could pay him. If that
were true, why, then, should there
be the .slightest inclination on
part to play profes-j
ball, his at this.j-juie? Chamberlain
For own part’,
disclaimed any intention of
on a pro career next

They don’t hesitate to grab $60,000
ir more inducements to s'gn with
major league teams. Many of
hese athletes are in college.
There’s no great hue arid cry over
their cashing in on their athletic
potential.
It would seem to me that this
ort of philosophy should be ap-
lilied in Chamberlain’s case: Make
my while the sun shines.
Some, of course, would like to
sec Chamberlain go on to become
the greatest basketball player in (
college history. But if Wilt ,
doesn’t feel that that is so im¬
portant- and a $15,000 offer is
more important—we think that he
should be left alone to make his
own decision.

MRS.MAL0NE. FOUNDER
OF PORO COLLEGE,
j
(Continued from Page One) ■
__------ ----------------|
Funeral services for the noted I
founder of Poro College here, were j
cbhducted at Bethel AME Church, j
Rites were impressive and led by j
the Kev. A. Wayman W ard, Mme. ;
Malone’s former pastor.
With Mine. Malones death came
the la.-t of the pioneer beauticians
and the woman who advanced the.
profession toward its apex.
M*d°no ret up Poro,. Col-
•- lege
id St. Louis in 1902 and later
established beauty schools in 12
other states. In J938 she moved ■
to Chicago and bought the entire
cast side block from 44th to 45th |
street on South Parkway.
Her wealth at death was esti-
mated at around $100,000 in prop-
ci ty and cash.
Mrs. Malone who was born in
Metropolis, 111., was known to be a
great giver, donating large sums
of money to charities of all kinds,
including orphans’ homes and col¬
leges. At one time she donated
annually to virtually every or¬
phanage in America and had two
fulltime scholarship students in
every land grant college in the
country.
Mrs, Malone became the first
person to develop and patent the
prossijig iron comb. From this
successful enterprise she reaped
fabulous profits and was recog¬
nized once as the world's richest
Negro woman.
Complications set in however,
as she was unable to find honest
and capable personnel to operate
her huge hair preparation empire
after she had established the Poro
College and related institutions in
some 12 different states.
Then too, enormous excise taxe3
by the government on her business
caused her to begin a decline in
wealth until at last upon her death,
her assets were estimated at aboat
$100,—a drop in the bucket in
comparison to the staggering fig¬
ure she had garnered as the “First
Lady of Beauty Culture.”
The fabulous empire of wealth
established by Mine. Malone began ’
depleting rapidly due to the hair
queen’s philanthropic heart. She
gave huge sums of money to vir¬
tually all charities and organiza¬
tions. Nearly every Negro orphan¬
age in America received $5,000 an¬
nual grants from her. She bought
homes and rendered educations to
her brothers and sisters in addi¬
tion to educating numerous nieces
and '“Thews. Upon moving to
Chicago, she purchased five man-
sions U P a C0,I, P letc dt T
