Big Seven's Top Scorers To Clash
Clyde Lovellette and Nebraska's Milton "Bus" Whitehead, the Big Seven's two leading scorers, will match hook shots as they resume their duel for conference scoring honors when Kansas tangles with Coach Harry Good's Cornhuskers Saturday night in Hoch auditorium.
Lovellette and Whitehead, a pair of 6-foot-9 inch giants, pace their respective teams in all statistical departments and may well put on one of the highest scoring duels ever seen on the local court.
Even though Lovellette has scored 123 points for a 24.6 average in five Big Seven games, he has a score to settle with Whitehead and the Cornhuskers. In an earlier conference meeting at Lincoln, Lovellette was limited to only 12 points, his season low for one contest, scoring on only four of his 19 shots from the field. Whitehead scored 26 points in this game for Nebraska.
Lovellette's scoring in recent games has reached phenomenal proportions. In the last four games, he has scored 118 points for a 29.5 average per contest. These games included 29, 23, 36, and 30 points against Missouri, Iowa State, Drake, and Colorado respectively.
Through the last nine games, big Clyde has averaged 24.8 in scoring 223 points and in only one game during this time did he fail to score 20 or more points. Lovelette's average for all games is 22.3 points per contest over a 16-game route.
Including his 20-point non-conference game against Kansas State in the pre-season tournament, Lovellette has scored 20 or more points against every Big Seven team except Nebraska.
With 257 points already registered, Whitehead is almost certain to establish a new Cornhusker individual season scoring record before their 24-game schedule is averaged. Of 6 games, he has scored 16.1 points and has an 18.4 average for five conference contests.
Whitehead, tallest player in Nebraska cage history who is playing in his fourth year, leads his teammates in nearly every department.
Bus has scored 97 field goals in 247 attempts for a 39 per cent average. He has scored 63 free throws out of 85 attempts.
Lovellette leads his teammates in all scoring departments. In 16 games, Clyde has scored 143 goals out of 340 field goal attempts for an average of 42 per cent. In the free throw department, he has scored 70 out of 113 attempts for 62 per cent.
A field goal in the first minute of play against Colorado by Lovellette gave him ownership to the new individual Kansas record for one season as he scored his 328th point of the season.
The old record was 326 points set by Charlie Black, former all-American, in the 1945-46 season.
Black, considered by many as Kansas' greatest all-time cager, scored a grand total of 1082 points in 86 games during his four-year-
Taft-Hartley Law Hard On Hoboes
Portland, Ore.—(U.P.)—Jeff Davis, king-elect of the nation's hoboes, told the central council council the Taft Hartley law made it difficult for his constituents to obtain jobs as pickets.
Mr. Davis said that, under the law, pickets were often asked what their "legal interest" was in the strike. He said "this is cutting us out of some spare time jobs."
On other points of hoboe welfare, Mr. Davis said organization had given the bums higher social status. "In some states the bulls let us ride the rods in dignity now," he said.
career. This total is the most points ever scored by a Kansas player.
