Scoreboard

P: Complaining that the pros play too rough, Philadelphia's Wilt ("The Stilt") Chamberlain blurted out that he was retiring from the N.B.A. at the tender age of 23. Plainly exhausted by the season's grind, Wilt was also disheartened by his team's loss in the Eastern Division playoffs to the champion Boston Celtics. Once rested, Chamberlain will likely decide to console himself with a $100,000 salary offered by Philadelphia. Scoffed Boston's famed Bob Cousy: "Standing 6 ft. i in., it is difficult for me to feel sorry for a man 7 ft. tall."

P: Obviously recovered from ankle trouble, Clifton S. Jones's colt Warfare, the 1959 two-year-old champion from California, easily won the $27,900 Swift Stakes at New York's Aqueduct to show that he is still the top contender for May's Kentucky Derby.

P: Gigantic (6 ft. 4 in., 260 Ibs.) Dallas Long of the University of Southern California huffed and puffed the 16-lb. shot 64 ft. 6 1/2in. at a meet in Los Angeles to smash by 8| inches the pending world record of Army Lieut. Bill Nieder.
