Tuesday, November 29, 1949 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PAGE 3 For S Mouring the loss of Claude Retherford, Coach Harry Good prepares for the 1949-50 Corn husker basketball opener Satur day against South Dakota State. Setting Nebraska scoring rec ords for three years straight. Retherford will definitely be missed in the Huskcr camp this year. The big question for Good this season is whether or not he can .find a suitable replacement for Retherford. The Nebraska scoring machine, although spotted with lcttermen. has no dependable scorers as yet. On the first five are Tony Lawry and Joe Malecck, for wards; Bus Whitehead, center, and Bob Gates and Larry Walsh, guards. Joe Brown, Lawry and White head, all three veterans for Ihc Cornhuskers, will try to set up a team play which might add the necessary fuel for the Huskcr scoring machine. Replacements for the first five include Bob Pierce, six-foot, six and one-half inch center from Lincoln; Bob Ccrv, veteran guard who has been bothered by a trick knee this fall, and Brown, who is back after a year's layoff. This season Good is planning on using a deliberate set-style of play, since his "run 'em into the boards" stvlc of play is being slowly pushed out of th basket ball world.
