A crowd of 9.121 packed University of Memorial Building Wednesday night to see the 7-foot-l giant toss and catch a basketball. It wasn't the biggest crowd to see a pro basketball game here. But the gate was the biggest ever collected by the Pistons. The former Kansas star gave a convincing performance.

He scored 41 points in leading the Philadelphia Warriors to a 119-105 victory. The crowd seem to agree that the Stilt is worth his reputed S40, 000 a year salary as a pro rookie. The Pistons seven-foot Walter Dukes, as long as he was in the game, did a creditable job of containing Chamberlain. But Dukes fouled out in the third quarter when Philadelphia was leading by only two points. The Warriors broke and scored 12 straight pomt; and turned the game into a rout.

During th.s surge, Chamberlain was held to two points. But while the Pistons were centering their attention on the Stilt his Paul Arizin and Tom Gola, took turns scoring.
