Frank Tallman's scoring spree
Tuesday night indicated one thing
about this vear's Husker basket
ball team. The opponents cant
lav for anv one man lo stop, De-
cause nobody can tell in advance
who's going to get not ror Ne
braska on a particular night, es
pecially duriner the past few weeks
when the Huskers have had to go
it without Fitz and Pitcaithley.
The Huskers don t have a lui-
settl or a Rav Eblinsr to consti
tute their whole offense; rather
nine different men have been high
scorers for the Huskers one nignt
nr other this season
Al Randall was high pointer
against South Dakota, then Harry
Pitcaithley was tops in tne In
diana and Minnesota games. It
was Don Fitz' turn aaainst Utah
and Stanford. At Wisconsin, sophs
Hartmann Goetze and 5id Held
sprung up with 13 and 12 points
respectively. Then Pit turned in a
15 point night against Detroit.
California nor anvone else had
heard of Bob Therien the night the
Bears niaved here, but the Beth-
anv plaver rose from the ranks
and dumped in IZ points that
nignt.
Pitcaithlev had his last scoring
splurge when Iowa State opened
the conference season here, getting
14 points. Then the Huskers lost
six aamcs in a row. Al Randall
garnered 8 points, the most any
Nebraskan could get against Mis
souri and Kansas State. Then
Oklahoma came here and it was
18 vear old sophomore Johnny Hay
who got 10 points and led the
crippled Huskers who got 41
ana nst the Sooners.
Atrainst Missouri, it was Hart
mann Goetze who got 14 against
his homestaters. Oklahoma was
laying for Gortze and Held, and
It was Yaffe who got 10 counters
atrainst the Norman team down
there. Then Tuesday night it was
senior. Tallman, who hit a hot
streak which wont be forgotten
very soon.
