World ski champion injured in training, sprains wrist
PASSO DEL TONALE, ITALY — Word and Olympic ski champion Alberto Tomba fell in a training run yesterday on the Tonale glacier, bruising his left knee and spraining a wrist.
Tomba was examined by doctors in his hometown of Bologna, and the skier's father, Franco Tomba, said his son did not have any broken bones or knee ligament damage, the Italian news agency ANSA reported.
Tomba should be back on the slopes in a month, ANSA reported.
The 29-year-old champion's left knee was badly bruised, and his right wrist was sprained. Both will be bandaged, forcing him to rest his leg and arm.
When he arrived at the hospital, Tomba was limping but walked in on his own power.
"That means I rest a little more than expected. I have to find a chauffeur who will take me around," heoked.
Tomba, a three-time Olympic champion who won a double gold in the world championships last February, suffered a bad spill in the final minutes of his daily training session, a spokesman for Tomba's family reported.
The Italian skier was preparing for the upcoming World Cup competition, in which Tomba plans to compete on part-time basis to better prepare for the 1997 World Championships at Sestriere.
Flyers captain still seeking remedy for groin injury
PHILADELPHIA — Eric Lindros has visited a third doctor about the groin injury that has kept him out of the Philadelphia Flyers lineup this season.
Team orthopedic surgeon Arthur Bartolozi had recommended Lindros see a groin specialist.
The All-Star center and team captain skated in pain Monday at the Flyers' practice rink in Voorhees, N.J., then flew to Durham, N.C., to be examined by William Garrett at the Duke University Sports Medicine Center.
"He's apparently an expert on the groin," Flyers general manager Bob Clarke said of Garrett. "Bartolozzi does not think there will be any different treatment here. He just wants to make sure we are doing everything the right way."
Tennis pro denies assets, faces possible bankruptcy
Clarke said Lindros could be out from two to five more weeks.
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN — Bjorn Borg's creditors are losing their patience, and they said yesterday that the former tennis star must pay up or declare personal bankruptcy.
"He claims to lack assets. I claim that this is false. This way we can investigate the matter," attorney Bertil Sodermark told the national news agency TT.
Sodermark represents a group of creditors who have claims of $1.5 million.
The claims date from Borg's involvement in a company that marketed clothing under his name. The company ran into deep financial trouble and was restructured.
If Borg goes through personal bankruptcy proceedings, he would have to reveal his personal finances to a court-appointed receiver.
The official would examine Borg's assets and liabilities and make an inventory of his estate.
Borg has testified in court that he doesn't have any assets. He said he had donated prize money earned in Sweden to charities. Sodermark contests the claim.

Team gaining
Volleyball's record improving steadily
By Adam Herschman Kansan sportswriter
What a difference one year makes.
The Jayhawks' two conference victories last weekend against Missouri and Iowa State brought them to nine winning games, which is the most they have had in the last three seasons with Kansas volleyball coach Karen Schonewite.
Kansas is tied for seventh in the Big 12 Conference with a 3-5 conference record and a 9-13 overall record with 12 matches remaining.
The Jayhawks' victory against Missouri Friday night in Allen Field House was in front of 14,800 fans, which was the largest crowd ever to watch a college volleyball match.
At about the same time last season, Kansas lost in front of 14,300 people to rival Kansas State on Oct. 14, 1995 in Allen Field House. The team had a 6-13 overall and 1-5 conference record. The Jayhawks finished last year 8-19 overall and 1-11 in the Big Eight Conference.
"The biggest challenge for all of us is to stay patient," Schonewise said.
Since Schonewise became the head coach in 1994, Kansas has improved in each of the last three seasons.
The Jayhawks were 7-19 overall in her first season.
Schoenwise said one of the reasons for Kansas' success this season was the play of sophomore outside hitter Mora Donovan.
"Moira's having a great year," Schonewyn said. "I think whenever you have at least one player that's having a great year like that, it's easier for the rest of the team to stay confident because they see her night in and night out putting balls away and playing at a high level."
Donovan leads the team in kills this season. She had a team-high 37 kills in the two conference matches last weekend.
Junior middle blocker Maggie Mohrfeld was a freshman during Schonewise's first year as head coach.
Mohrfeld said since she had been here, everyone has believed the program could improve.
The Jayhawks began the season with 13 players on the volleyball roster, which included two players who had walked-on. However, only 10 players are suited up for matches.
Roster moves:
Kansas junior outside hitter Leslie
Purkeypile has been out the entire year after tearing the medial collateral and anterior crucial ligaments in her right knee while water skiing July 6.
Kristi LaRoch, freshman middle blocker, will be out for the season after having surgery on her knee last week.
"Her kneecap is wearing away a lit-
the bit, so she just had surgery on Thursday, and it's about a six to nine month process in terms of the rehab. "Schonewise said."
Stacy Warnke, who walked on the team Aug. 24 as an outside hitter and defensive specialist, left the team.
"She felt it was too much time; she wasn't getting to play," Schonewise said.
Moore catching less this season

At 6-foot-3 and 250 pounds, Kansas senior tight end Jim Moore is hard to miss — unless you're a Kansas quarterback or offensive coordinator.
Moore was one of the most successful tight ends in the former Big Eight Conference last season. He started all 12 games for the 10-2 Jayhawks, and his 18 receptions merited him honor able mention all-conference honors.
"It's a little disappointing, a little frustrating," Moore said after the Jayhawks 20-7 loss to Colorado Saturday. "I think I can do some good things when I get the ball. I'm not sure why I'm not, but I really can't complain. If the coaches think the other receivers are more open or have the hot hand, then they go with them."
He has just six receptions for 62 yards in six games and none in the last two.
Kansas coach Glen Mason said Moore, or any other tight end, never had been the Jayhawks primary receiving target.
But this season Moore has been virtually nonexistent in the Kansas offense.

"Sure, at times you can specifically call a pass for a tight end if you think he's open," Mason said. "But if he's not there, he's not there." Moore said there was

nothing he could do about the situ- tation.
"I have no control over whether I get the ball or not," he said. "I just have to go out and do my job and do the best I can. When the coaches do call my number, I have to be ready."
"It's not like you're keeping the tight end in and he's just blocking," Mason said. "He's out running pass routes. They're involved, but the ball doesn't always get there."

KU swimming team has one-two punch
By Matt Woodruff
Kansan sportswriter
Freshman swimmer Tyler Painter started the season off right at the Big 12 Conference Invitational Friday and Saturday at Robinson Natatorium, taking first place in the conference's first 1,650-meter freestyle race. And senior All-American Erik Jorgensen came in second, making it a successful season debut for both swimmers.
But last weekend may have been just the beginning.
"One of my goals for this season is to have me and Jorgi go one-two in every meet," Painter said. "I also would like to finish in the top three at the NCAAs in the mile."
Jorgensen said there was not any reason why the two could not accomplish that feat.
Painter said the competition that had developed with Jorgensen made Painter a stronger swimmer.
"It's a lot more intense with him there," Painter said. "We're pushing each other every day, and even though you may be having an off day, once you get to practice and the guys are really after

Kansas coach Gary Kempf has liked what he's seen from both swimmers.
"I believe Erik Jorgensen and Tyler Painter are the best milers in the country right now," Kempf said.
Painter said that although there was pressure going into the meet, it was good pressure.
