Wednesday, February 14, 1940 The DAILY NERRASKAN 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. Pit opens game. Harry Pitcaithley who started at guard opened the scoring for the Huskers with a free throw, then N o r r i s Hol strom put in a looper to give K-State their only lead of the game. Nebras ka came back with Al Ran dall's only field er of the game, and with but DON FIB iivc milium Journal a Star. gn the Husk- 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 in his first appearance since he was injured at Missouri, and the Barbed Point, teams sew up Barbed Point, Brown Palace, and Daik Horse teams have al ready won Barb league titles, as 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 when League 1 is settled. The Barbed Points finished un defeated in six games in League 2, Frosh trackmen in postal meet with OSU team Nebraska's frosh track team is competing this week in a postal meet with the Ohio State year lings, as performances will be compared at the end of the week. Outstanding marks have been turned in by Bob Ginn, Wayne Blue, Vic Schleich and Don Mor ris. Ginn. state high record holder in the S80, turned in a 1 :58.7 half mile; Elue got 47:4'4 in the shot, and Schleich well over 46 feet. Both men are in their second year in school, but are staying out of varsity competition until next year. Their performances have consistently been over 45 feet. Morris, state high school sprint champion from Scottsbluff last spring, turned in a :52.4 quarter mile. Postal meets will also be held with Iowa and Kansas State frosh.

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.
