    The team that everybody felt sorry for - Murray (who
didn't arrive here until 2 a.m. yesterday, after the flood
prevented their travel by air) - brought the crowd to it's
feet when it ripped into Loyola at the start and ran off a
21-8 lead in the first 12:45.
    A slick outfit, the Thoroughbreds sped ahead 11-4 in
the first three minutes, giving a fortaste of things to
come. Varnas and Johnson, especially, were nothing short of
sensational.

went to work and peeled off 31 points to Murray's eight in
the next few minutes to go ahead 39-26 with 6:45 left.
Miller, Egan and Coleman were the big lifters during the
surge.
    After Loyola had grabbed a 39-26 lead, the crowd
relaxed, figuring Murray had shot its bolt. However the

back gamely and unbelievably, outscoring the defending

exploded again to go on top 54-43 at halftime.

Ramblers rambled ahead 64-46 but Murray cut it to 65-52.
    Loyola then gained a 20-point lead at 76-56 with 13
1/2 minutes left and the handwriting was on the wall.
Fouls continued to haunt Murray as two starters,
Schlosser and big Johnson, were whistled out with eight
minutes to go.

applause when he departed with 7:20 left and Loyola
holding a 92-66 bulge.
