Scoreboard
P: Boston University's fabulous Sophomore John Thomas, 19, who goes up and up, leaped 7 ft. 2 1/2in. at the Chicago Daily News Relays to break his own world indoor record for the sixth consecutive time, jumping 1.3 in. higher than any other man ever has, indoors or out.
P: As the pro-basketball season ended, Philadelphia's Wilt ("The Stilt") Chamberlain, 23, in his rookie year had decisively rewritten the N.B.A. record books. Among his new marks: 2,707 points and an average of 37.6 points per game (the old records: 2,105 and 29.2, both set by St. Louis' Bob Pettit), and 1,941 rebounds (old record: 1,612, set by Boston's Bill Russell).
P: Whistling softly to remind herself to breathe, svelte U.S. Olympic Skier Betsy Snite, 21, swivel-hipped down the steep, tight trail on Mount Mansfield, completed her two runs a full 4.4 sec. ahead of a topflight Olympic field to win the women's slalom.
