Found this goodie from 1965 and these clips have proven to be somewhat popular, so maybe I will be curious enough to find more.
I guess the deal was, Mac had removed Humes from an earlier game that annoyed the fans greatly who wanted to see Larry break Smallwood's scoring record. Later on, this happened in a game where Humes hit 14 out of 16 from the line. I guess the strategy was to foul him and hope.
The 48 held until Haffner broke it with 65 in 1989. Dunno if the argument about the 3-point line holds for Humes like it did for Haffner. I don't recall Humes taking a lot of outside shots. Although, he likely would have had there been incentive.
Irrelevant sidebar in the paper that day: Joe Namath signed a contract with the Jets for $400,000.
