Paramount News feature on 17-year old phenomenon Wilt Chamberlain, who spent the summer of 1954 working as a bellhop at the famous Kutsher’s Country Club in New York’s Catskills

The feature focuses on Chamberlain’s playing in Kutsher’s league in August, more than holding his own against grown men, many of whom were playing college ball

Boston Celtics coach Red Auerbach coached at Kutsher’s, and was enamored with Chamberlain, urging the young man to go to a Massachusetts-area college so the Celtics could take him with a territorial pick. Wilt instead ultimately chose Kansas, to Red’s chagrin. In a few years he would instead “settle” for Bill Russell, and the rest is history
