Scoreboard

o Totally disregarding New York Player-Coach Doug Harvey, who was clinging grimly to his right leg, Detroit's Gordie Howe expertly slipped a one-handed shot past Ranger Goalie Gump Worsley for the 500th goal of his 16-year career. Still a relatively youthful--and mighty aggressive--33, Howe needs only 45 more goals to break the National Hockey League scoring record set by Montreal's famed Maurice ("Rocket") Richard.

o As the National Basketball Association wound up its regular season, Philadelphia's incomparable Wilt ("The Stilt") Chamberlain scored 34 points in his final game, finished the season with a fantastic total of 4,029. The old mark, also set by Chamberlain: 3,033 points. Another record breaker: the Boston Celtics, who took their sixth straight Eastern Division championship by winning an alltime high of 60 games v. only 20 losses.
