fullback Ledford questionable for game against Kansas State
Fullback Tim Ledford, who suffered a knee sprain during practice Tuesday, is questionable for Saturday's game against Kansas State.
"tight now, I think he'll be able to play Saturday." Lynn Bott, director of sports medicine, said yesterday. "He's lost a lot of the pain which is a plus for him. He could be back Friday."
Cornerback Undra Lofton was taken out of practice because of back spasms but should return to practice today. Bott said.
KSU late practice draws 3,500
The rest of the Jayhawks concentrated on the pass rush and pass protection, in addition to other basic drills, head coach Bob Valente said.
MANHATTAN — A midnight scrimmage early yesterday brought Kansas State its largest crowd ever for a basketball practice session and launched Lon Kruge into his first season as head coach.
About 3,500 people turned out for the loosely-played scrimage called "Midnight Madness," the first after-hours workout for the Wildcats. The NCAA prohibits practices before Oct. 15, and some universities have used such workouts to generate fan interest.
"I won't believe it if this isn't the best crowd in the country." Kruger told the crowd over the public address system.
"We wanted to introduce the players to the fans and introduce the fans to the players," Kruger said later. "We've told all of our recruits that we have some of the greatest fans in the country, and we wanted the players to see it first hand."
The session, which put the players through an hourlong scrimmage without scoring or penalties, began at 12:01 a.m. with the introduction of players.
The largest roar came for Norris Coleman, last year's Big Eight newcomer of the year and the league's leading scorer. Coleman, who has been
"It was a real nice feeling going back out there again," said Coleman, who could have been eligible to play immediately if he had transferred to another college.
declared ineligible until Feb. 27 because his high school grade-point average was too low, was given permission earlier in the week to practice with the team.
"The fan support really excited the team, and we wanted to perform well for those people," he said. "Fan support was a major part of my decision to stay here, and it felt really good to hear people cheering for me again after all that has happened."
NCAA denies eligibility appeal
AMES, Iowa — The NCAA yesterday denied the eligibility appeal of Iowa State senior linebacker Jeff Brasswell, who will miss his final season because of 1984 recruiting violations.
Iowa State is under investigation by the National Collegiate Athletic Association for 35 charges of wrongdoing in the football program and 10 allegations of violations in the basketball program.
ISU Athletic Director Max Urick declared Braswell ineligible before the season opener when the star linebacker admitted to receiving free transportation, credit for meals and assistance from school officials in obtaining a bank loan.
Last week, the NCAA Eligibility Committee refused to reinstate Braswell, saying the Big Eight school enjoyed "significant advantages" by recruiting him illegally.
Iowa State appealed the case Monday night before an NCAA Council subcommittee, but the panel denied the appeal yesterday without explanation.
Urick could not be reached for immediate comment yesterday.
He told members of the university's Athletic Council on Tuesday that the appeal of Braswell's case was based on the argument that the NCAA Eligibility Committee was wrong when it said Iowa State enjoyed significant advantages by illegally recruiting the linebacker.
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Raiders linebacker Rod Martin said yesterday that the suspension of Greg Townsend was NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle's way of getting back at owner Al Davis.
Raider says suspension unfair
Townsend, a defensive end, was suspended for one game for his part in an Oct. 5 melee in Kansas City
"The first thing on everybody's mind was that the league is trying to get back at our owner because of the things he's said against the league." Martin said. "I don't think we can get it through the team. It's affecting us as players."
Rozelle suspended Townsend last week, but lifted the punishment pending an appeal. Townsend was able to play against the Seattle Seahawks, but Rozelle on Monday banned him from playing this week against the Miami Dolphins.
"When you look at the situation, Townsend shouldn't have been the only one penalized for it." Martin said. "The other guys on Kansas City, and maybe some other guys on our team, should've gotten fines.
"He shouldn't have been singled out as one individual for something he didn't start. It's just strange that they would do it to Townsend and (Chiefs quarterback Todd) Blackledge pulled his helmet off, as well.
"I thought it was really silly of (Kansas City Coach John) Mackovic to bring it out right after the game knowing they have to come back and play us again. I just don't understand that philosophy at all."
Martin said the Raiders would use the suspension to their advantage.
The Chiefs will face the Raiders on Dec. 14 at the Coliseum.
"I think it will, without a doubt, have an inspirational effect," he said. "Last week we were on a yo-yo, in a sense. They had us down, then we were up. We were down, then we were up. Now we're down again. Later on this week, we're going to be up and rise to the occasion Sunday.
"I think, with a doubt, they think they're trying to hurt us in the league office. But it's only going to help

us in the long run. It's another adverse time for the Raiders. We like to strive on that."
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Officials of the U.S. gymnastics Federation yesterday signed the formal agreement to hold the 1987 McDonald's Gymnastics Championships at Kemper Arena.
"Kansas City has a growing, exciting gymnastics community, including two girls on this year's national team," Shinneman said.
Dave Shinneman, the president of the McDonald's Heart of America Restaurants, said Kansas City would be a good host for the event.
The championships will determine the U.S. Senior National Team, which represents the country in national and international competitions, including the World Championships and the Olympics.
More than 150 gymnasts are expected to compete in the Championships. The events will be June 18-21.
Cardinal to have disc removed
ST. LOUIS - St. Louis Cardinals wide receiver Pat Tilley, an 11-year NFL veteran, will have back surgery tomorrow to remove a disc that is rubbing against the spinal nerve, the club said yesterday.
Tilley, 33, will miss the remainder of the season and faces an expected recovery period of four to six months. The operation will be performed at St. Luke's Hospital by Dr. August Geise.
Although a spokesman for Tilley said that Tilley had hoped to avoid the surgery because it placed his career in jeopardy, the Cardinals said they were not ruling out the possibility that Tilley might return next year.
"Pat has never indicated anything to me about retirement, one way or another," said Larry Wilson, the team's director of personnel. "We have discussed his rehabilitation, and until we see how he comes out of the operation, we're not going to make any type of decision."
