Jack Taylor transferred to Grinnell, known less for basketball than for nothing at all, so he could score a lot of points in a basketball game. The Grinnell system, which has made it the highest-scoring team for 17 of the past 19 seasons, involves giving the ball to one guy to take as many three-pointers as possible. The 5 ft. 10 in. (178 cm) guard set a record with 138 points in a game, on 48% shooting against Faith Baptist Bible College, which did an awful job praying against Taylor.
