Sporting a perfect 3-0 record,
with the biggest number nine score by (bIP) the Kansas. Jasper the midwest's playoff day night in Allen Field House in a continuation of one the midwest's greatest seasons.
Kansas leads in the series, 5-1, including last year's game. The Bampton box-size boxed Alumni Gym. In that game the Jayhawks had lead at least five games and appeared in the game under control until a hot streak hit by the Rambblers.
Loyola coach George Ireland will bring a different type of team from his team, but he has characteristically had before. In 19 previous seasons, Ireland's teams have been noted as having fewer players generally speaking, run-and-gun speedsters. One of those teams, the Irish, often enough to win the 1963 NCAA title.
But this year its a new look as height has been added to Ireland's side. Most of it will be in the game against Martin, a 6-9 senior who averaged 17 points and 15 rebounds a game last year. In includes his total was an 18 point against the Jayhawks last year.
It is Martin that Loyola hopes will primarily rest upon as some
prognosticators have said that as Martin goes, so will the Ramblers.
Playing alongside Martin on the bench, he was a good stealer. Steward or 65 Bill Moody. Both were part-time starters last year for Ireland at 13-11 club. He was also a regular in the game.

Cotton Bowl Said Best By New Rating System
NEW YORK (UP1)—It appears that the Cotton Bowl will offer the public the best matchup in the post-season games.
This is arrived at through an easy ratings system, which gives a score of 10 among the top 20 a number corresponding to its finish and a score of 21 points to a “field” team, or one that was not rated at
For example, the Cotton Bowl gets a rating of 6 because Texas won the game, the United Press International's final ratings and Notre Dame 9-1 in the lower two competed point total for all three teams, the higher that bowl is rated.
The Orange Bow, which was not filled until last Saturday, has had its own fans because it pairs third-ranked Louisville with sixth-ranked Louisiana State 9-2.
Those four games, by the ratings, figure to be very hotly contested. In fact, only two major gamebases—the Gator Bowl and MVP would be considered mismatches under this rating system.
The Peach Bowl pairs eight-
ranked Arizona State, 10-0,
against North Carolina, 8-3, an
upper-seeded opponent. The
Bowl has ninth-ranked Auburn, 8-
2, meeting unranked Mississippi,
8-3. Under the system, if a high-
ranked team is matched against
another team, the game is
rated "no contest."
The Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl, Liberty Bowl and Sun Bowl carry
ratings of 36, 37 and 38 respectively, which means they can be considered good, match-ups although of lesser quality teams.
Oklahoma 7-4, ranked No. 5.
Oregon 7-2, ranked No. 6,
the Astro-Bluebonnet Box; 18-
ranked Colorado, 6-4, takes on
unranked Tulane, 7-4, in the
Washington Tech; 8-3, meets

Last year, the bowls with the best ratings were the Orange and the Cotton and they turned out to be two of the better games. In the second round, the Cotton No. 2 last year, opposed Missouri, which was ranked No. 6, and the Nittany Lions won. 10-3. In the Cotton Bowl, Texas, the No. 1 Iowa team, met Notre Dame, ranked No. 4, and the Longhorns won. 21-17.
Gymnasts Travel to Ames
Coming off a third place finish in the NCAA Tournament, the KJ gymnamentain Open, the KJ gymnamentain faces its final competition of the 1970 season Saturday at the Iowa State campus.
Trailing Iowa State and New Mexico in the Colorado meet, the Hawks will again take the floor in a closely contested strongest competition in the nation.
"This is probably the toughest team competition we'll face," coach Gymnastics coach Bob Lockhaw defending national champs, Michigan, and the Big Eight Iowa, Iowa state, will both be there."
Lockwood said that Iowa State has to be favored considering a strong rival in the fact the Cyclones have been fiercing higher than anybody in the state.
The Jayhawks' hopes for a finish rest largely with Kirk Gardner on the rings and Marc Andrews in the all-around competition.
Gardner, the Big Eight still rung champion, flashed back to the Rocky Mountain winning the Rocky Mountain Open with a 9.4 performance. Lockwood肿胀 in new stunt has allowed him to play for the Iowa meet where he will
challenge the national ring champion from Michigan.
Kansas has suffered two injuries to the high bar team that could seriously set back the team. Carley, who took fifth in the high bar in Colorado, has a torn shoulder muscle and is a doubtful starter, and Brian Cooper is definitely out of the Iowa meet.
After the Iowa Open, the Jayhawks have a lengthy vacation returning to action against Iowa and again against Iowa State at Lawrence.
Omaha Meet Next for KU
Fresh from an impressive victory in the Bowl Invitational tuesday night in Memphis, the Kansas Jayhawks will send an 11 to Oklahoma on Saturday night for the Nebraska Federation Indoor track meet.
KU coach Bob Timmons said he will not send a full squad to the meet because of final examinations beginning Monday.

Timmons expressed pleasure with the Jayhawks' performance in the Memphis meet. Facing one of the nation's best indoor teams
Lutz will join Larimore in the 60th competition while Reaves will join Stull and Jones in the long jump.
in, Tennessee, the Jayhawk outscored the Volunteers 60 to 4- to claim the championship. Texas outscored the Volunteers 60 to 4- in the last meet with 22 points.
Timmons said the meet, which was the earliest competition KU has ever faced, was good from the standpoint he gave him
opportunity to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the team prior to larger forthcoming neets.
