"There was a lot of pressure on the quarterbacks because we couldn't get any running game going today with the situation we had," Mangino said. "That's good. I'm glad that the quarterbacks were put under pressure."

Clark Green's injury forced freshman running back Gary Green to play more than expect. Gary Green rushed for 18 yards on 11 carries.

"I figured I was going to get a good number of reps today so I really wasn't surprised," Gary
Gary Green dealt with pass blocking as well as rushing, something that was not expected out of the 5-foot-9 running back. Mangino said he did not expect Gary Green to be put in such a difficult situation on Saturday.
Green said.
"It has never been our intention for him to play as many reps today in any game," Mangino said. "That's not the type of player he is."
Sophomore running back Jon Cornish also saw significant time yesterday despite playing linebacker for three weeks during spring practices. Cornish finished with 55 yards on 11 carries. Mangino said that Cornish would be strictly an offensive player next season.
The player who made the most impact yesterday was Murph. He caught six passes for 111 yards
including a touchdown in the first half. He finished the day with seven catches for 110 yards.
with seven catches for 10 yards "This past week he looked really smooth, and today he hit his stride," Mangino said. "He is going to be a valuable player for us, he is a big-play receiver, but he is a steady guy, too." Football notes
Junior linebackers Nick Reid, Kevin Kane, Banks Floodman and sophomore cornerback Charles Gordon and sophomore offensive lineman David Ochoa were named team captains yesterday. The captains were voted on by the players.

*In the alumni game preceding the spring game, the blue team, led by quarterback Bobby Douglass, defeated the white team 21-15. Former Jayhawks Dana Stubblefield and Don Davis were on hand as honorary coaches. Mangino and Chancellor Robert Hemenway presented Stubblefield and Davis each with a jersey at half time of the spring game.
Freshman punter Kyle Tucker had打督 responsibilities for both teams and punted the ball nine times in the first quarter alone. He finished the game with 14 punts including a 62-yard boot. Tucker also attempted two field goals and converted on both. Freshman kicker Scott Webb went one for three on his attempts.

at first on a close call by first base umpire Andy Eaves. The Kansas dugout thought that Richardson beat the throw, and Price argued the play to no avail. Kansas got its first lead of the series, 2-1, in the controversial play, but it took the wind out of a possible big inning.
"I thought I beat the play, but he thought I didn't," Richardson said. "That's the way it went."
Price thought that this was a game that the Jayhawks desperately needed.
"If we win the game we're 4-8 and still one special weekend away from getting back in the playoff race." Price said. "One thing we know is that you have to play all 27 outs and they scored two runs with only one hit. That's a pretty tough loss at the end."
Friday and Saturday's games were no contest. Kansas senior
pitcher Mike Zagurski was ineffective in seven innings of play. He allowed seven runs in an 8-4 loss, dropping his record to 4-4. Baylor led 6-0 before Kansas got on the board in the fifth inning on two wild pitches following singles by junior first baseman Jared Schweitzer and freshman designated hitter John Allman.
In game two of the series, Baylor starter Mark McCormick baffled Kansas hitters on route to a 13-2 Bayor victory. He pitched six innings, allowing two runs on four hits and striking out seven. It was his fifth victory of the year. Kansas sophomore Sean Land took his second loss of the week, giving him a record of 3-4.
After the weekend, the Jayhawks stand in last place in the Big 12 at 3-9 and 24-18 overall. Baylor moved into first place at 12-3 after Missouri was swept at Oklahoma State. Overall, Baylor is 24-13.
would have to forget the past weekend and turn their focus to Wichita State University, who visits Lawrence on Wednesday night.
"We've lost our last four in a row, so we have to come out and be ready to compete and battle," Richardson said. "I haven't given up, and I know the rest of the team hasn't given up either.
"We're going to come out pretty pumped up for Wednesday, and we're going to beat the snot out of the Shockers," he said. Baseball notes
Richardson said the team
- Kansas' all-time record against Baylor now stands at 5-28. All three victories have come in Lawrence.
- San Diego Chargers quarterback Drew Brees was at Hoglund Ballpark for the series. He was watching his brother, senior Reid Brees, outfielder for Baylor, and called the top of the fifth inning for KLWN radio.

Speculation
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
There were many positives during the game. The defense looks even better than last year's unit. Freshman safety Aqib Talib was great, snagging two interceptions. He should be a solid addition to the secondary that returns junior Charles Gordon and senior Theo Baines. The unit will need Talib to step up because opposing offenses are going to be less likely to throw in Gordon's direction because of the third team All-American's success last season.
Junior wide receiver Brian Murph was impressive on Saturday. He caught nearly everything thrown his direction and showed off his big-play ability as he scored on a 52-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Jason Swanson. His speed and hands are going to be a great addition to a unit that
lost its leading receiver last season in Brandon Rideau.
There was much talk before the game about how freshman running back Gary Green and freshman wide receiver Marcus Herford would perform. It is clear that they are the future of the offensive units here at Kansas but Gary Green struggled as he was unable to get into the open field, where he is most dangerous.
Gary Green is not going to run over many linebackers like senior Clark Green can to make big gains, so he is going to have to be successful by making people miss. It just may take longer for him to become the superstar back many fans hope he will become.
Gary Green needs to get to that open field so he can show off his dazzling speed and quick feet. He should be utilized in the passing game as well. Clark Green has been a valuable receiver, as he can get the short slants and make moves to turn them into big
gains. Gary Green should be able to do that even better. With his speed, if he gets into one-on-one coverage he can score touchdowns catching the ball.
Herford showed good hands in the first half, as he caught three passes for 20 yards. But, like Gary Green, he never got an opportunity to get the ball in the open field and make his moves. Herford is going to be a huge addition next season; he may be the team's most talented wide receiver. With him, Murph and senior Mark Simmons, the wide receiver position is in good hands.
Overall it was a successful spring game and a successful set of practices for the Kansas football team. The Jayhawks will have to continue to work hard to become a threat in the Big 12 North this fall.
