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 the Ahtj^lv rrjflti-■-to "dV tic ••!•»* 1 | Wu ’ anything could happen be- j now and then. He’s so I on that score.

Got¬ tlieb also has an inter-locking re- lationship with Abe Saperstein, owner of the Globetrotters. Both ere keeping their own counsel in the current controversy. It would seem to us that it would i>e difficult for anybody to blame Chamberlain if he decided to cast Ills lot—a well-paying one—with the Globetrotters, 'l ake the bonus babies in major league baseball, 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.

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 block. Taxes a,,d hcr ^uetance to pay lhem P ruvcd a l ,andola <*•* lo her.

Failing to pay real estate taxes soon culminated with Mme. Ma- lone’s buildings put up for sale by the government. The Chicago Metropolitan Assurance Company stands on 45th and South Parkway and was once the prop- t . r ty 0 f Mrs. Mglone. Two years before her death when her vast beauty business was virtually extinct, two of hcr nephews living in Chicago panic her aid.
