Last, free safety Dong Terry played
defensively and was dominant a day's game against Nebraska. Terry again will be competed injured
"They're starting to feel pretty good," said Terry, a Liberal freshman. "I'll be ready for Saturday."
Terry practiced yesterday with both ankles heavily tapped, but he is not back to full speed. Once after play the opponent had a severe-headed-ready injured ankle for a second time.
"Then I hurt the one that wasn't hurt before," he said. "So it was kind of a harm deal."
"My left one is doing really well,
it's pretty close to full strength. But
my right ankle is a lot more tender
than the other one."
Kansas coach Glen Mason also said Terry should be ready for the Nebrask game.
"He'll play." Mason said. "The thing about it is that it's Wednesday. He's got a couple of days to go light from on here out."
"I never really thought about it," he said. "I just play week after week and don't really think about statistics or anything."
Terry, who has claimed the starting role at free safety as a true freshman, is third in the Big Eight conference in tackles with 47 but he
is not concentrating on personal goals.
Despite his success, Terry has noticed a difference in the caliber of players at the college level.
"It a lot tougher here," he said. "Everyone's a lot bigger. I'm only 158 pounds, and going up against 250 pound pulling guards every week starts to take it it's toll. It's always a challenge."
Last week, Terry, slowed by the first ankle injury, had one of his best games of the season. He made seven unassisted tackles and assisted on four others. The performance was to his six十四 game at Auburn.
Terry said his injured ankles would affect his play this weekend.
"I won't be slow, but I'll be a little slower than usual," he said. "But not so slow that I won't be able to hold it." It'll be a little harder this week.
Nebraska," he said. "As for me, I love the atmosphere of the game because we have nothing to lose. If not every day you get to play a team like Nebraska, so I just look at it as a big challenge for our and our team. We are very difficult to lose, so we just have to go out and compete to the best of our abilities."
But the prospect of playing ninth-ranked Nebraska will be added incentive for Terry.
"I think it's a privilege to play a team that's been as highly ranked as
Nebraska's powerful running game won't change the Jayhawks approach on defense, Terry said.
Freshman defensive back Doug Terry is third in the Big Eight Conference in tackles with 47 this season. Terry will be starting Saturday against Nebraska despite his two twisted ankles.
"We'll basically do the same thing we've been doing," he said. "It's not really that it's easier to defend, but it helps." He added that I like playing against the best.
"I'd rather come up and hit some one on the run than get an intercep tion on pass coverage."
Though Terry will be playing Saturday, two other defensive starters will miss the game.
Redshirt freshman Lance Fluchs barb probably will be out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, Mason said.
"They did the arthroscopic surgery and it wasn't as bad as they thought," he said. "That's the good stuff." He still 'properly done for the year."
Besides Flachsbarth, the Jayhawks also will be without starting
outside linebacker Paul Friday.
"It's a hip flexor," Mason said of Friday's injury. "It's not a serious thing, but it takes time to heal."
Filling the gaps at outside line backer will be freshmen Jasor

OSU tailback's speed is turning heads

Coach Pat Jones says the best may be yet to come for the junior tailback, in memorizing memories of former Cowgreats.

legs when he first got here." Jones said. "You knew you were looking at a very talented athlete when he first came here. As a freshman, we saw him on the field with the kick returns, we got a better idea of how that he really is."

"When you see a hole open, it's like someone bringing you food when you've been without food for a week," Sandra said. "You see that makes you just go off, inside that makes you want to get to a dead zone."
Sanders has done that 11 times this year, including five in last week's 56-35 victory over Tulsa when he ran for the Cincinnati Bengals. Thomas record of 294 yards.
But Jones said there's still much to find out about Sanders.
"He takes your breath away," Jones said, "because you think he's going to score every play. (Tony) Dorsett was that way."
"There are situations he has not in, which only time will tell." Jones said. "He has to win the game in injury. He has to win the game. I would have to have to win the game."

rank Thurman as the best I've ever coached. He did it over a four-year period. Now, if someone asked who explosive is he, I say Barry Sanders.
Sanders started the year with the 100-yard kickoff return against Miami of Ohio. He had started off his sophomore year the same way, but an 10-yard run later in the first half gave Sanders a Gandey like Gandy into Sanders's biggest fan.
Sanders has been named Big Eight Conference Offensive Player of the Week for the first three weeks.
He has continued his kick returning duties despite carrying the full load at tailback. He averages 399 all-purpose yards a game, tops in the league.
The stretch of the legs on Sanders' stocky physique came from hopping around and running back at Northwestern University Bryan last year with a new jersey.
Sanders was the No. 4 tailback as a freshman, but Jones said he couldn't afford to redshirt him, in part for injuries and his talent for kick returns.
"I can't really tell you. I envisioned it, but I don't feel like setting goals. I don't feel like an athlete should ever feel satisfied. The only positive feedback, really, is win
"I guess I'm built low to the
ground," Sanders said. "Me and my brother used to run a lot of stairs. He was more of an adultter than I was. I was more of an adultter than it would turn around like it did."
Sanders, the sixth of 11 children, is quiet and unassuming. On Friday and Saturday nights, he prefers to stay in the dorm room and "just take it easer."
It's kind of rewarding to be by yourself," he said. "But not I am yourself." You can't think to myself, What makes me so good?" That isn't one of the things I like.
Jones was cautious about his past, but he followed his hostess rushing pursuit of Tula, fearing the "glowing things" she said he about him would be distractive.
"He's such a nice person," Jones said. "How long before he gets calls to the kind of stuff... most of us have that as a legitimate, nice person," thought.
Hopes of a Heisman Trophy have not escaped Jones or Oklahoma State publishes Steve Buzzard, who has been the coach of Sanders for early next week, before the Cowboy plays Nebraks. Ironically, a similar promotional package was released on Thomas prior to the team's game against Thomas. Thomas gained only seven vards.
MANNING REMAINS UNSIGNED:
Sports Briefs
Ron Grinker said Tuesday that the former Kansas forward had not signed a contract yet because of a dispute over salary.
The agent for Danny Manning, the NBA's top draft offering this year and an Olympic competitor on the U.S. basketball team, said his client would not show up at the dancers'ippers' training camp tomorrow.
"It's not a matter of a few thousand or a few hundred thousand dollars." Grinker said. "We probably millions apart are fighting because that means one of us is dramatically incorrect."
Grinker reportedly was asking for $8 million over the next four years and the Clippers apparently were offering $6 million.
"We will sign Manning," said two owners of the Nike franchise, who on unusual move were handling negotiations for the NBA club on the Manning deal "I don't want to change it."
Other Clippers still insigned include Charles Smith, who also was on the U.S. Olympic team, and free agent guard Quintin Dalley.

LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST SMITH: Agents who negotiated a settlement with the shortest Ozzie Smith, one of the highest-paid players in baseball, filed a federal lawsuit claiming he owed them more than $300,000 in fees.
The suit, filed by the Shamrock Corp., asked a judge to order a bank to pay back $150 million to Association to settle the dispute, said Edwin Gottlieb, the lawyer.
in 1985, Shamrock negotiated a contract for Smith that gave the shortstop a $2.2 million annual salary, a $700,000 signing bonus, a $30,000 annuity to purchase an Anheuser Busch beer distributor. Gottlieb said.
The contract made Smith one of the highest-paid baseball players, he said.

Dodgers triumph over Mets; National League playoffs even
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Rockie Tim Beeler allowed five hits in $ \frac{1} {3} $ innings and the Dodgers digged five runs in the first two innings of runs in the first two innings as Los Angeles beat the new York Mets 6-4 last night to even the National League.
In an article written for the New York Daily News, Cone said Los Angeles reliever Jay Howell looked "like a high school pitcher" in the ninth inning of Game One when the Mets scored three runs for a 3.2 score in the first half starter Herbison was lucky to shut out the Mets for eight innings.
Lucky or not, Belcher beat Cone in Game Two. Belcher, who won nine of his last 12 games to finish 12.6, had a two-run lead after nadesz. The Mets first baseman hit a two-run homer in the fourth and finished Belcher with a run-scoring double.
Belcher, who struck out a season high 10 batters, allowed a leadoff double by Lenk Dyksstra in the ninth. Dykstra went to third on a grounder, and scored on a single by Hernandez. He scored on a second by Mt Jesse Orsoe, who yielded a single to Darryl Strawberry advanced Hernandez to second.
That brought on Alejandro Pena, who got the save by getting Kevin Harden after walking Howard Johnson to load the bases, induced Gary Carter to run.
Mike Marshall singled in runs in each of the two first innings off Cone and added a third hit to start a rally in the fifth

After a day off for travel, the best of seven series shots to New York's Shea Stadium Prints is now on the Tudor. John Tuder, 19.8, will wear Ron Darling. 17-9. Tudor skipped a start in Game Two because of spasms in his right knee.
Cone, 20-3 with a 2.24 earned run average, allowed a run in the first and in the second. In two and four of five hits, flipped a bat and ballet.
It was the Dodgers' first victory against Mets since a 3-4 decision at Citi Field in October, and the Mets won 10 of 11 from Los Angeles and carried their dominance into the World Series.
In six regular season games at Dedger Stadium against New York, Los Angeles scored a total of six runs and never more than two.
The Dodgers then went out and showed Cone why they deserved some.
It was Cone's shortest outing as a starter this season. On July 26, he allowed four runs in 3 % innings against Philadelphia.
Mickey Hatcher walked with one out in the first and moved to second on a balk. During the season, Cone had a club-hub 10 balks.
Cone, who won his last eight decisions, hit Jeff Hamilton with a pitch one out in the second. In 231 1-1 innings, Cone bit only four batters.
Hatcher scored wien Marshallb shallow a飞翼 to left field that fell in front of the sliding McReynds and just beyond shortstop Johnson.
One out later, Belcher, who had four hits in 65 bats during the season, singled and Steve Sax made it 2-0 with a single to center.
Hatcher, a utility player, then doubled sharply down the left-tie line to score Belerle and Sax. Sax, a defensive lineman, got under Carter's tag at home.
After an intentional walk to Kirk Gibson, Marshall singled in Hatcher for the fourth run of the inning.
Cone was batted for in the top of the third and was relieved by Rick Aguera. Cone made his first seven appearance this season as a captain during the startling rotation when Aguiera was sidelined with an elbow injury.
The Mets, limited to one hit in the first three innings, scored in the fourth when Gregg筋练 wailed knees and Hankymonk honored right center field.
The last home off Belcher was by the Phillies' Ron Jones on Aug. 26. Belcher closed the regular season allowing a home run in 32 innings.
The Dodgers made it 6 to 2 in the fifth of Aguilera Marshall and Mike Pelfrey, who walked to the load the bases. Alfredo Griffin scored from a ground-note.
