Winbush back in action after surmounting his injuries
By Ryan Malashock
Kansan correspondent
After struggling through a season full of injury and frustration, Kansas running back David Winbush is back. The 5-foot-7, 180-pound junior rushed for 111 yards in 14 carries and three touchdowns in the Jayhawks' 45-10 victory against Baylor on Saturday.
Winbush was completely healthy on Saturday after fully recovering from hagging knee and ankle injuries. Coach Terry Allen knows the frustration Winbush has experienced and applauded his performance on Saturday.
"David's had such a rough year with keeping himself healthy," Allen said. "He hasn't had the opportunity as much
this year, but I'm happy that he's gotten it going. I was really
While Winbush was excited about Saturday's result, he wouldn't take all the credit for his fourth career 100-yard game.
"Our offensive line did a great job of pushing Baylor's line off the ball," Winbush said. "When six different players all will

you know the offensive line did a great job."
Fullback Moran Norris' emergence as
a force in the Jayhawks' running game also has been a key factor lately, according to Winbush. Norris rushed for 75 yards in 13 carries and two touchdowns Saturday.
"I've been looking for the chance to have both of us in the game," Winbush said. "That really keeps them off balance. I've been waiting for that for a while."
Winbush and Norris got the Jayhawk offense rolling early on Saturday by combining to carry seven times for 71 yards on the game's opening drive. Winbush did most of his damage in the first half, recording 10 carries for 78 yards and two touchdowns.
Norris, couldn't be happier with Winbush's play on Saturday.
"He's been banged up a lot lately and

not playing too well," Norris said. "But you saw how he played. One hundred eleven yards and now he's healthy. He's back."
Mitch Bowles, who rushed for 86 yards in nine carries, joked after the game about a Laurence Journal-World article
about Winbush, which featured a picture of Winbush on a milk carton that signified he was a "missing person."
"We found David in a ditch off K-10. I got him out of there and told him that it's time to go play," Bowles said. "I wasn't too far behind him, so I was in a ditch on the other side of the road. We were just talking to each other today, and I said, 'you know, they want to see you, so go show them.'"
Even though Winbush showed that he was back, he knows that Allen and the fans will be monitoring his performance.
"There was a lesson in disguise to be on the milk carton today." Winbush said. "I know I'm off the milk carton. But if I have another bad game next weekend, then I'm back on it."
Player ejected after elbowing Eric Chenowith in the nose

Eric Chenowith roused a cheer from the Allen Fieldhouse crowd when he removed his jersey à la Dennis Rodman on the dayhawks' bench during the second half of Kansas' 124-101 exhibition victory against the California East All-Stars on Saturday.
The only problem was that Chenowith did not remove his shirt for the excitement of the crowd but because he heeded blood to be cleaned from it. The blood, much to the dismay of Kansas and it's basketball fans, was from Chenowith's nose.
Midway through the second half. Chenowith was floored by All-Stars player Tony Vilcinskas. Vilcinskas' elbow collided with Chenowith's
face as both players went up for a rebound. The elbow probably broke Chenowith's nose and sent Vilcinskas to the locker room with an ejection. Vilcinskas was later kicked off the All-Stars team by coach Phil Bryant
"It wasn't the cleanest elbow in the world," Chenowith said. "I think it's broken, but the X-ray will let me know for sure. Coach (Joe) Holladay and Nick (Bradford) are the nose experts because they've had their noses broken so many times, and they say it's broken."
Friday night in Manhattan, Vilcinskas was benched by the All-Stars coaches Dana Pump and Bryant for dirty play. Bryant said he would not tolerate play such as that from any of his players.
"I won't tolerate a player walking away from that situation as though it did not mean
anything. He's done, and he's off the team," he said.
After Chenowith went to the bench. Bryant walked across the floor to pat him on the back.
"After I went down Coach Phil (Bryant) came down to the end of the bench to make sure I was all right." Chenwith said. "That meant a lot to me."
Kansas coach Roy Williams was not pleased by the incident.
"I didn't like the fact that it happened," Williams said, "and the people that run that club didn't like it. The guy hit him the play before, and the refs didn't see it and I yelled at them. He hit him that time and they did catch it.
"There's no place for it. If you're gonna play basketball, play basketball. If you're gonna act like Mike Tyson, go find him."

Two Jayhawks from California worked with All-Stars coaches

Saturday's exhibition opener against the California All-Stars was a reunion of sorts for the All-Stars coaches and a couple of the Jayhawks from California players.
Long before they were Jayhawks, junior center Eric Chenowith and freshman forward Drew Gooden knew California All-Stars coaches Phil Bryant and Dana Pump. Dana Pump and his brother David run Double Pump
Basketball, which organizes tours featuring former collegiate players, runs camps, showcases and a recruiting service for high school players from southern California.
"I remember when Eric was a ninth grader and Bob Gottlieb (father of Oklahoma State point guard Doug Gottlieb) brought me this tall skinny kid and said 'work with him,' " Dana Pump said. "I've known Drew for a long time, and he worked for us all summer in our camps. It's great to see how much both of them have matured, not only as
"They love coming here and think this is what college basketball is all about."

basketball players, but as young men."
Pump has four teams which tour the country, representing Northern, Southern, Eastern
and Western California. Bryant also has taken the California East All-Stars to Syracuse, Massachusetts and Kansas State this year. Bryant said that coming to Lawrence was the reason he agreed to coach the tour.
"It's great," Bryant said. "We love coming here. A couple of years ago we met Roy (Williams), and he's obviously a great coach, but he runs such a classy program. The Kansas people are great, and this place is legendary."
Chenowith is appreciative of what the Pumps and Bryant have done for him.
"The Pumps, I just love those guys," Chenwith said. "They always have a smile, and Dana just had some really nice things to say to me before the game. (Playing in front of them is) good because all my family and friends back home see me grow up and progress and then produce here at Kansas.
"Guys like those guys that help me to get to college — it's great for them to see it too because they get some self-satisfaction out of it."
Williams echoed Chenowith's positive sentiments about the Pumps and Bryant.
"Those guys are great people." Williams said. "Drew (Gooden) worked for them this summer.
"They enjoy taking the team around the country. They talked about at Syracuse they had two or three thousand, at UMass about the same thing and maybe a little less over at Manhattan (Kan.). They love come here and think this is what college basketball is all about. I liked having him because they're gonna take the team and make it as competitive as they can."
