Fourth football player injured; all should recover by Saturday
Another Jayhawk football player was injured in practice yesterday, but he and several already hurt teammates should be ready for Saturday's game.
Wide receiver Murphy Ray suffered a mild shoulder sprain during practice at Memorial Stadium. However, the injury would not keep him out of practice today, said Lynn Bott, director of sports medicine.
Wide receiver Peda Samuel, who had a sprained wrist, and offensive guard Steve Isham, with a sprained ankle, were limited to non-contact drills yesterday but should return to normal practice today. Bott said.
Rodney Harris, wide receiver, is recovering from a stress fracture of the right foot and will be available for a limited number of plays Saturday. Bott said.
Head football coach Bob Valesente said the team was carrying through on toning the physical and mental aspects of the game. The Jayhawk kicking game was heavily emphasized during practice.
The playing status of placekicker Chase Van Dyne is still questionable, however Van Dyne had his kicking shoe on and worked out with the team at practice.
Jayhawks set for double-header
The Kansas baseball team will play a double-header against Ft. Scott Community College today at 1 p.m. at Holcom Park and Sports Complex, 25th Street west of Iowa Street.
A nine-inning game and a seven-inning game will be played. The Jayhawks are 4-2 this fall.
OU reprimanded by Big Eight
NORMAN, Okla. — The University of Oklahoma has been reprimanded by the Big Eight Conference for violations of recruiting regulations in the men's basketball program, Athletic Director Donnie Duncan confirmed yesterday.
Four violations of National Collegiate Athletic Association rules occurred during official visits by recruits to the OU campus during the 1984-85 academic year, Duncan said. Three involved boosters joining recruits and their student-hosts for off-campus lunches and in some cases paying for the meals.
The fourth violation involved a booster taking a recruit to dinner outside the 30-mile university community limit. Duncan said.
In each instance, university officials had initiated corrective actions to ensure the violations would not be repeated. Big Eight officials said.
Conference faculty representatives and athletic directors decided at a Sept. 25 meeting in Kansas City to issue the letter of reprimand, according to a conference news release.
Keith Lee to testifv in Kirk trial
No provision for other sanctions or penalties. In a prepared statement release the confidential information carefully said the violations "stemmed in part from a misunderstanding about the off-campus booster-contact prohibition.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Former Memphis State basketball star Keith Lee has been scheduled to appear tomorrow before a federal grand jury investigating the finances of his former coach, Dana Kirk, a published report said yesterday.
The grand jury, which has been meeting for over a year, will receive today, and arrangements have been made for Lee to testify, the Commercial Appeal reported yesterday.
Lee, now playing for the NBA Cleveland Cavaliers, would be the first past or present Memphis State player to appear before the grand jury. Those who have appeared include Memphis State boosters, a former athletic director and Kirk himself.
Memphis State fired Kirk last month without stating a reason.
The newspaper said there was no indication whether other basketball players would be called and reported that Lee already had been interviewed by federal authorities.
A grand jury investigating sports gambling convened in the spring of 1985. Later, the panel appeared increasingly interested in Kirk's finances.
In August 1985, Bobby Patterson, former Memphis State athletic director, appeared before the panel. He once gave he gave Kirk $12,000 in 1981 to sign Lee, but
NCAA officials said they would monitor Lee's appearance.
later recanted the statement.
The NCAA placed Memphis State on a two-year probation in May as a result of recruiting violations and overpayment of student loans to athletes.
Two Mizzou players suspended
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Two University of Missouri football players accused of breaking into a car at a dormitory parking lot and stealing part of a stereo have been suspended indefinitely, the university announced yesterday.
Coach Woody Widenhofer took the action yesterday afternoon against Cordell McKinney and Kenny King, said Donna Hart of the sports information office.
The two players were arrested early Tuesday and face appearances in municipal court on Oct. 21 on misdemeanor theft charges.
McKinney and King are both cornerbacks, with McKinney sitting out this season because of a knee injury.
LSU suspends athletic director
BATON ROUGE, La. — Louisiana State University athletic director Bob Brodhead was suspended with pay yesterday following conflict of interest charges involving a trip to Mexico and a radio program.
The Commission on Ethics for Public Officials yesterday accused Brodhead, media executive Douglas Manship Sr. and Baton Rouge Broadcasting Co. of violating the state ethics code in connection with the trip and payments for the Bob Brodhead program on Manship-owned WJBO-AM radio.
LSU chancellor James Wharton said Brodhead's suspension would remain in effect until the university's athletic committee reviewed the case.
Commission spokeswoman Maris LeBlanc said the panel filed three charges against Brodhead and scheduled a Dec. 18 hearing on the allegations.
If found guilty, Brodhead could be fined $5,000. The ethics commission could remove him from his position at LSU, demote him or decrease his salary, LeBlanc said.
The charges stem from a trip Brodhead and his wife took in April to the Baja Peninsula in Mexico, LeBlanc said. Manship reportedly paid for the air fare and accommodations for the Brodheads, the commission charged.
The action violates the state's Code of Ethics because Brodhead accepted the gift when Manship's company, Baton Rouge Broadcasting, held a contract with the athletic department to broadcast LSU sports events. LeBlanc said.
The board also accused Brodhead of violating the code by receiving payment for the Bob Brodhead radio show on WJBO while the company had a contract with the athletic department.
Giants get Anderson from Cards
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants yesterday acquired running back Ottis Anderson, the 11th leading rusher in NFL history, from the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for two 1987 draft choices.
Anderson, 29, has gained more yards against the Giants than any other NFL club since coming into the league in 1979 as a first-round draft choice of Miami (Fla.). In 12 games against New York, Anderson has run for 1,123 yards — including 55 yards on 18 carries in the Giants' 13-6 victory over St. Louis last Sunday. Anderson ran for more than 100 yards five times against the Giants.
Anderson, 6-foot-2 and 225 pounds, led St. Louis in rushing his first six seasons before being slowed by a foot injury last year. He is also a talented receiver who caught 51 passes in 1981, 54 in 1983 and 70 in 1984.
This season Anderson has gained 156 yards on 51 carries. His foot injury and the emergence of running back Stump Mitchell made him tradable. The Giants are expected to shift Anderson to fullback, where he will play in front of halfback Joe Morris.
The Giants' rushing game has struggled this year, with Morris asked to do the bulk of the running. Morris has 333 yards on 85 carries (3.9 per rush). Last year he averaged 4.5 yards per carry when he gained a clubrecord 1,336 yards.

Jackson lives up to expectations
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bo Jackson struck out 34 times in his 82 major league at-bats and hit 207. He was a liability in right field at times.
But that's not what the Kansas City Royals remember. They remember the longest home run ever hit at Royals Stadium, or the rocket throws from right field. Or Jackson's first game, when he hit a sharp grounder to third with runners on first and second and beat a throw that would have caught just about anyone else in a triple play.
"We heard about his monstrous home run in Memphis, but to it do it off major-league pitching on a 90-mph fastball, well, that's unheard of. We knew he had a strong arm, but to stand flat-footed and throw a guy out at third base, that's another thing."
"He's been everything we expected," said Kansas City General Manager John Schuerholz, "and he's done some things that have been absolutely eye-opening.
Jackson, the Heisman Trophy winner from Auburn whom the Royals spirited away from Tampa Bay for a contract worth about $2.4 million less than the Buccaneers offered, has a long way to go in baseball.
"I thought playing baseball would be great, but it's even better than I thought it would be. I'm very happy I've accomplished the things I have so far," Jackson said.
Jackson is in Sarasota, Fla., at the Kansas City instructional camp. When camp closes Nov. 9, Jackson will return to Auburn to take classes and work out with the Auburn baseball team. In mid-February, the Royals open spring training.
Jackson was called up to Kansas City from minor-league play late in the season. He was taken out for defensive reasons the last week, and he had trouble with two routine fly balls in the last series.
"It's still a learning process, but right now, I can say
I'm enjoying the heck out of myself."
Neither the Royals nor Jackson regret that he chose baseball instead of football.
"I'll look forward to being back here (Kansas City) on opening day," Jackson said. "I told myself, 'Once I get to Kansas City, I have no intention of leaving.' I'll do everything in my power to get back to Kansas City."
