The basketball game in which Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points, is the entire game on film and available?

i've seen the usual clips that are shown on various sports channels, usually of him going for a lay-up or dunk and the part at the end which he holds up a card bord sign that says "100 points" on it. I'd love to see this game in its entirety even if its black and white and the film is horrible. I'm surprised someone hasn't gotten ahold of the tape and digitally remastered it. One request to everyone who reads this: Please Please check your attics and cellars for old films! Perhaps a parent, uncle, or grandparent was at the game and taped it and it is in storage somewhere mixed in with old family albums! A lady here in chicago recently found vintage tape of the Cubs season opener at Wrigley field back in 19....Their very first game by the cubs taped in its entirety by her grandfather, which you can see how the field and appearance including the chicago landscape (background buildings) have even changed. You never know, YOU may have some rare archive footage.
