Kansas simply outran the Loyola-
Chicago Runnin' Ramblers Saturday,
cruising to a 100-80 victory in front of 13,500 fans at Allen Field House.
"They were running nine at our five players." Loyola coach Gene Sullivan said. "We got tired. We played a five man team with the basketball team. With the players we have, we have to keep it a running game."
Nine of Kansas' 10 eligible players played at least 17 minutes. Only freshman guard Sean Tunall, whom Kansas coach Roy Williams said, and playwrights and his players said they wanted to play an up-tempo.
"I like to see the ball up and down the court." Williams said. "I enjoy that kind of basketball and our kids like to play that way. If we get the chance, that's what we're going to do."
Kansas forward Mark Randall said, "Today was great. Coach Williams told us before the game that they were going to try to run, but for us to play good defense and to try to run, also."
For the first 14 minutes of the game it appeared the Rumin' Ramblers run-and-gun style would work against the Jayhawks. With 5:46 remaining in the first half the score was tied at 30. But point guard Kevin Pritchard and forward Freeman West scored six points each in the closing minutes and the Jayhawks led 48-38 at the half.
Pritchard scored 18 of his team- high 20 points in the first half on seven-of-eight shooting from the field, including two three-point shots. In the second half, Lincoln Minor picked up the slack, scoring 16 of his career-high 19 points on eight-of-nine shooting from the field.
Sandall said the Jayhawk inside players benefited from Pritchard and Minor's hot outside shooting.
"Today, with Kevin and Lincoln doing such a good job from the outside, that caused (Loyola's) guards to pull out and we were able to get the ball inside every now and then," said Randall, who contributed 16 points and a career-high 15 rebounds.
Two other Jayhawks had career-high games. Center Sean Alvarado scored a career-best 10 points, added seven rebounds and four blocked shots. Guard Scooter Barry had a career-high 28 points, which was the best for the game.
Williams said the Jayhawks' pressure defense late in the first half was the turning point in the game.
"We really turned it up defensively at about the eight minute mark." Williams said. "We started to press a little bit more and got a couple of turnovers and easy baskets at the other end. For about 30 minutes, we played hard defense and I think that was the difference."
In the second half, Kansas' lead fluctuated between 12 and eight points until the Jayhawks went on a 14-5 run to increase their lead to 72-54. During that stretch, Minor scored eight points, all on long-range jumpers, and added an assist to Milt Newton for a dunk
Newton said he was not surprised by Minor's scoring outburst.
"Lincoln's capable of doing that every game," Newton said. "Lincoln can score, but sometimes he gets kind of hyper, like I used to get. But he's capable. Once he gets warm and gets his confidence, he can be a real
good scorer for us."
In the past two games, Minor had gone 0-8 from the field. But Williams said he knew Minor would come around.
"He's a good shooter and I knew he'd have a good game sometime like this," Williams said. "I just hoped it be in the 1988-89 season."
Kansas scored its 100th point with eight seconds remaining on a layup by Jeff Gueldner. Despite the 20 point victory, Williams said the Runnin' Ramblers were a good team and would cause trouble for future opponents.
"I don't think Loyola's a bad beam," Williams said. "They're going to beat some people who think they're going to have an easy game. They're well coached."
Newton said, "They run and shoot more than Oklahoma, to me. But Oklahoma makes more of its shots. They have some good athletes on their team and some pretty good scorers."
For the game, Loyola shot 39 percent from the field, while Kansas shot a red-hot 64 percent. Gerald Hayward led Loyola with 26 points, while Keir Rogers added 19 points and 10 rebounds.
Newton, who was Kansas' leading scorer entering the game, played only 18 minutes because of tendinitis in his left ankle.
"It's doing better," Newton said.
"It was really hurting bad (Friday).
I hurt it in the Seattle game (Thursday) when a referee stepped on my foot as I was trying to turn. It agravated an injury I'd had earlier in the season. It was getting a lot better before that."
Another Jayhawk whose playing time was limited because of an injury was reserve forward Mike Maddox. Maddox played only 17 minutes Saturday at his home Friday and injured at the bottom of his foot.
"it's sore," said Maddox, who was unable to practice Friday "The screw was sticking out of the doorway about a half an inch and I slid my foot across it and sieced the
bottom of (my foot) I had to get a tetraus shot.
"It hurt quite a bit running up and down the court. But it's one of those things you have to play with because we're limited in numbers."
Both Maddox and Newton said they would play with the Jayhawks take on Pacific-Lutheran, an NAIA Division II school, at 7:35 p.m. Wednesday at Allen Field House.

Lovola-Chicago'a Kier Rogers got some extra hang time on the rim after a dunk Saturday against Kansas.
Minor sizzles against Loyola
By Tom Stinson
Associate sports editor
Kansas guard Lincoln Minor needed to gain confidence in his shooting ability, and the Jayhawks needed a lift early in the second half of Kansas' 100-80 victory over Loyola-Chicago Saturday.
Minor has gone scoreleast the past two games and has shot only four for 19 this season. Consistent Kansas scorers Milt Newton and Mike Maddox were hampered with injuries and the Jayhawks couldn't shake Lovola, leading only 58-49 with 16-37 to play
But Minor solved both problems.
But minor 10 senior came off the bench in the second half and in the next five minutes scored eight points and assisted in a Newton dunk. Minor finished the game with a career-high 19 points, shooting nine for 11, and handed out three assists.

"I think he's a good shooter," coach Roy Williams said. "He'd hard tough nights the last two games. I
was over.
Minor said despite his earlier below average shooting performances, he knew his scoring potential and realized he just needed to be patient.
“One of the assistants talked to me before the game and told me to relax and be a little more confident. If the shot was there, to take it,” said Minor, who averaged 4.8 points a game last season.
"After the first two shots my confidence was up. Once I feel good, I feel can put the ball in the hole."
Minor, whose previous career-high as a Jayhawk was 15 points scored against Washington last January, credited Saturday's performance to Loyola's sagging man-to-man defense and to his role coming off the bench to provide whatever Kansas was lacking at the time. In Thurs-
lay's 98-65 victory over Seattle Minor handed out a career high eight assists.
ABSSS "Most of my shots were wide open," Minor said. "I got what the defense gave me."

NEW YORK — OK, Barry Sanders finally said it:
"The Heisman Trophy really is a big deal."
He may have fiven' the weight if the 54th annual Heisman Trophy, the weight of his few hourers, and the fact he was playing thousands of miles from home didn't seem to palpier the poker-faced Sanders.

with a 45-42 victory. On Saturday evening, the Sanders appeared from Tokyo via satellite as CBS-TV aired the Heisman ceremonies. He never changed his expression, although he did go bonkons and clap his hands together softly several times when he was announced as the runaway winner over quarterbacks Rodney Peece of Southern Troyers and Troy Akman of UCLA.
The top finalists in the Heisman balloting were graduates of Kansas high schools. Sanders graduated from Wichita North High School in Wichita and Pete graduated from Shawnee Mission South High School.
Peete had 70 first place votes, 264 second place votes and 174 third place votes for 912 points. Aikman received 31 first place votes and 582 total points Miami quarterback Steve Walsh finished fourth and
Sanders received 559 first-place votes, 77 second-place votes and 47 third-place votes for 1878 points on a 3-1-2 basis. Ballots were received from 721 of the 913 Heisman electors.

Minutes later, he yanked off his clip-on microphone and, without another word, hustled off to face Texas Tech.
West Virginia quarterback Major Harris finished fifth in the ballot. The Downtown Athletic Club of New York sponsors the Heisman Trophy.
The 5-foot-8, 197-pound junior tailback, who was barely recruited in high school, set NCAA records that could stand for a long time: 2,553 rushing yards, 39 touchdowns, 3,250 all-purpose yards and 295.5 all-purpose yards per game (rushing, receiving, returning punts and kickoffs).
The all-purpose yard per game record earned the oldest record in the book — 246.3 yards a game set by Colorado's Byron "Whizzer" White, now a U.S. Supreme Court justice, in 1937.
As usual, Sanders let his legs do his talking.
But even in rewriting the record book, Sanders remained true to form, and not just on the field, where he tled Allen's record of five consecutive games of 200 yards or more.
