Injuries hit 7 starters
Seven of Saturday's starters, including quarterback Jeff Hines and cornerback Robert Gentry, missed football practice yesterday because of injuries.
“Hines is out with a sore arm that has been bothering him since the Texas & A&M game.” Head Coach Bud Moore said yesterday. “The only quarterbacks we have now who are fit to play are Harry Duxey, Kevin Clinton and Steve Smith.”
Although KU's top quarterback in the season opening, Brian Bettke, is expected back this week. Moore said he didn't know what shape he would be in.
Gentry is out with a broken foot he suffered in the Miami game.
"I am very concerned with our secondary," Moore said. "There is no telling how long Gentry will be out."
Zidd injured his shoulder Saturday,
Algee pulled a groin muscle, Calovich has a sore leg. Edgar pulled a hamstring and Wagoner has a bruised leg.
"our defense accomplished something in practice Monday," Moore said. "We also scrimmaged our second and third strings to try to improve them."

If the fan and coach watch closely, may see Sobek show a little fire during a game. But Sobek just calls that excitement a waste of energy.
"I don't think I was fired up," he said after the KU-Miami game in which he caught four passes for 64 yards. KU lost, 38-6, a fact Moore attributed to very poor defensive play.
"I PLAYED on confidence," Sobec said. "I don't rely on emotion. If you're a good player, you don't have to rely on emotion."
And, of course, "I have a pretty good knowledge of the same myself."
"If I believe in myself, my teammates believe they can come to me and I'll catch

The Tankees, East champions for the third straight year, will begin the best-of-five AL championship playoff series at 7:30pm. . . . against the Royals at 7:30ton.
Boston Red Sox and won the American League East title in a playoff yesterday.
DENT, DEPSTE PAIN from a foul ball off his shirt, hipped an off-speed pitch from former teammate Mike Torrez into the air, putting the Yankees ahead for good. 3-4
Southpaw Ron Gudryd earned his 28th victory against only three losses, with late-season struggles.
Gossage, after yielding two runs in the eighth, ended up the uprising by getting Butch Hobson on a fly ball for the second out of the line and striking out dangerous George Scoth.
The Red Sox, who forced only the second playoff in Al history by winning their last eight games of the regular season, took a 2-0 lead, but Torrez, the Yankees' World Series pitching her a year ago while playing out his option — was unable to hold the ad
GUIDRY, WHO HURLED two consecutive two-hit shutouts against the Red Sox in September, was nicked for a run as Carl Yastrzemski, 39, drilled a homer into the second inning. It was Yastrzemski's 17th home of the season and No. 383 of his career.
The Red Sox added a run in the sixth on a
play by Burlison, a sacrifice, and a sacrifice
by jim Jerman.
The Tankers, checked on two hirts by six for six innings, rallied with one out in the seventh.
SINGLES BY CHris Chambliss and Roy White started the rally. Pinch hitter Jim Spencer licked for the second out, but he couldn't stop him, so he screen for a homer, his fifth of the year.
THE YANKEES GOT the decisive run in the eighth when Jackson led off against Stanley with a towering drive into the center of teachers for his 27th homer of the season.
The Yankees got another run in the inning as Mickey Rivers walked, stole second and scored on Thurman Munson's double to left center. Munson, who had struck out his first three times at bat against Torrez, connected against reliever Bob Stanley.
The Red Sox had one final shot in the ninth when, with one out, Burleson walked and Remy lined a single to right, which Lou Pinnell lost in the loss. Rice, the major opponent and changing champion, flied to right, and Yastrushkova popped foil to end the game.
In the bottom of the eighth, Jerry Rerry doubled and Yastirzamis singled him home for Boston's third run. Carl Fisk then singled and Fred Lynn delivered an RBI single before Gossage retired Hobson and Scott.
Royals set for 3rd shot at title
KANAS CITY (AP)—The little shortstop with the broken heart, the third baseman "who chokes," and the manager "who gets out-managed" see their bad luck turning good and the World Series heading for Kansas City.
"The only guy in the world who wanted to see the Yankees and Red Sox go to a one-game playoff more than me was Boston Manager Don Zimmer," said Royals' skiiper Herzog. "For the last two years, we've been like a blackack dealer who had a hot hand all night, then all of us were in shock." Anybody's due for a good break, it's us, and the Yankees and Red Sox playing Monday might be a sign that our luck's changed.
"THEY'RE HAVING to use two pitchers they didn't want to use, and the winner might just be a little flat after such an emotional game."
The Yankees won, 5-4. Ron Guidry was the winning pitcher.
The way the Yankees beat the Royals for the American League pennant the past two years has been a fine story.
A bad call by an umpire in the eighth inning of the fifth game in New York two years ago cost them a chance to have their season ended. The bases loaded, Brett, who had hit a three-run home run his previous at-bat but committed two throwing errors in game No. 1, watched helplessly moments later as Chris Chambleyashed a ninth-inning home run to beat them.
LAST YEAR in Kansas City, the Royals led all the way until they were again down after a tense fifth inning of the fifth game. Heroes to the mound but was unable to stop the
Yankees from scoring three runs, one on Brennan's blowing error.
Hollow-eyed, the Royals filed into their dressing room while Herzog's critics accused him of being outsmutted by Billy Martin.
"Give me Sparky Lyle to bring out of the bulpen, if you haven't heroess yet," and I will. "Let's go, you bow you bow."
But Lyle was working for Martin that night and he finished the Royals on a pop fly and Fred Patek's game-ending double-play grounder.
Millions of television viewers saw Patek, born in the city where he is faceing in his hands and holding his hand.
"that picture is going to haunt me for a long time, I guess," Patek says. "I was a long time getting over it. But I'm ever in opportunity, I ever wanted another opportunity."
