Tallman gets 23 points
as Cornhuskers trample
Kansas State cagers 61-28
Don Fitx plays for Huskers who lead 37-17 at half;
NU sets highest point total of Big Six season
Nebraska's revived Cornhuskers
unleashed their pent-up scoring
fury last night as game captain
Bud Tallman led W. H. Browne's
team to a blistering 61-28 win
over a crippled Kansas State team.
Tallman poured in 23 points, 12
of them coming in the first half, as
the torried Huskers jumped to a
37-17 lead at intermission, cooled
off, then ran up 22 points in the
last 11 minutes.
The 61 points is the most piled
up by a Big Six team this year,
and Tallman's scoring burst second
only this season to Jimmy Mc
Natt's SO counters against the
Huskers.

Harry Pitcaithley who started
at guard opened
the scoring for
the Huskers
with a free
throw, then

game. Nebras

ers had rolled up a 14-2 lead.
From then on out it was a
question of how many Nebraska
would get, as the Wildcats, play
ing without two regulars, were
cold on the basket, and out
classed by the Husker offense.
Tallman scored 12 and Irv
Yaffee, who scuttled bigger State
players all over the floor last
night, got 9 before the teams
left the floor At half-time.
Don Fitx entered the game
shortiy before the end of the half

was injured at Missouri, and the

Barbed Point, Brown Palace,
and Daik Horse teams have al

the only independent title which
is not settled is that of League 1,
in which the Pied Pipers and
KKKs are tied for first. Cham
pionship eliminations will begin

Husker guard received a great
ovation from the crowd.
Fiti scores.
His fielder after two minutes
of play accounted for the only
Husker points in the first nine
minutes after intermission as
play was ragged and Kansas
State could get only six points.
However, Tallman got two bas
kets, and Pitcaithley and Taffe
one apiece to bring the score to
47-23 in the next two minutes.
The Huskers got six more before
the Manhattan team scored again.
With slightly less than five min
utes to go, Nebraska led 55-24, and
the fans, who were pleading for
a 60 score, got it as Sid Held made
two free throws and Tallman
aptly enough ended a great
evening with his last two bas
kets. Yaffee scored 12 points for Ne
braska, and Sid Held 7. Fitt'
knee seemed to bother him as he
first took the floor, but in the
second period he was back with his
customary great floor game, al
tho he garnered but two baskets.
Norris Holstrom got eight
points on four long baskets, and
Mel Seelye six for the bewildered
Manhattan team which suffered
its sixth conference loss of the
season. It was Nebraska's sec
ond win against six defeats, and
put the two teams in a tie for
fourth and fifth places in the
league.
Farm House, ag champions, beat
the Husker freshman 15 to 13 in a
preliminary game. Fred Preston
was outstanding for the winners.

Minnesota bonebenders win
over Husker crew 21 V2AAV2
With the mighty fall of "King
Kong" Kahler, the husker foot
baller who turned wreftler for the
night, the Husker hopes of victory
over the traveling Minnesota
Gophers mats-men fell also.
The Nebraska fans went into
wild cheers when Kahier made his
appearance In the ring as the
Gophers held only a slim 16 4 to
14'i lead over the Huskers at
that time, but before those cheers

won one game, while the Phi Psi's,
Kappa Sigs and Alpha Sigs have

In League A, the same situation

In League 3. each team has
played two games, and on top for
sure are the DU's with two wins
and no losses. The Sig Alpha
have beaten the Farm House and
Phi Delta, and lost no games, but
the two losers have protested the
use of Vike Francis and Harry
Hopp by the SAE s, defending fra
ternity champions, on the grounds
that Vike is a member of the var
sity track team, and that Hopp
was not registered in school at the
time of the games.
Should the protests be allowed,
it will give the Phi Delts and Farm

records now stand at one last and
one won. The Delta Sigs and Pi
