He is, of course, our own All-America basketeer, Grady Wallace. Grady, who has all but sewed up the national scoring champion ship, embarked for Kansas City yesterday to prepare for the first of two all-star cage games he is to appear in. He will participate in an East-West game in Kansas City next Monday and then will jour ney to New York City for another such game at Madison Square Garden one week from tomorrow night. Earlier this week, the lanky Kentuckian was named to the In ternational News Service All America quint which will place him on the concensus team since he also made the UP first team and AP's second team All-Ameri can. Wallace's only probable competi tor for the scoring crown is Wilt Chamberlain of Kansas who will play tonight and tomorrow. "The Stilt" has a 29.8 average and needs some 99 points to overcome Grady's astronomical 31.24 mark. In the midst of practice teach ing, Grady plans to be graduated in June of this year and hopes to play basketball for some AAU club. He proved his determination to shun pro ball by refusing a $1,000 o'ffer from the Harlem Qlobetrotters, Inc., to play for "only" one week.
