Peter Graf may be set free early
Judge attempts to free player's father from jail
The Associated Press
MANNHEIM, Germany - The judge presiding over the tax evasion trial of Steffi Graf's father does not anticipate an exorbitant sentence.
The prosecutor accused chief judge Joachim Plass of making a deal with the defense when he tried to free Peter Graf and the family's former tax adviser Joachim Eckardt from jail last week.
The judge denied any wrongdoing. He explained his reasons for attempting to lift the arrest warrant that has held the two defendants in custody for a year.
Plass suggested they have served enough jail time.
Peter Graf, 58, and Eckardt are accused of failing to pay $13.1 million on $28 million of Steffi Graf's earnings between 1989 and 1993.
The trial was scheduled to continue for the rest of the year.

But Plass said yesterday that he foresaw no exorbitant punishment if the defendants were found guilty.
He said that he thought the prisoners should not stay too long in jail.
Peter Graf and Eckardt remained in custody while prosecutors appealed Plass' decision Friday to free them.
Prosecutors argue the men could flee or destroy evidence, and the high state court in Karlsruhe plans to rule next week.
Prosecutor Hubert Jobski said it was unusual that the judge had not discussed his decision to lift the arrest warrants.
Jobei said it was unclear what had been discussed, when and with which trial participants, suggesting that the judge had dealt privately with the defendants.
Plass said there was only a slight chance that Graf might try to flee, noting that the defendant had agreed to a $2 million bond, and Graf had agreed to report to police twice a week.
Eckardt must post a $200,000 bond and report to police.

Iowa's 1994 recruiting class was ranked No. 1 in the nation, and Eatman was voted the Lindy's Magazine 1995 Top Recruiter in Women's Basketball.

Brown said that when Eatman was considered for her job, she encouraged women's basketball head coach Marian Washington to hire him.
Smith has blocked with a number of people on the line. He also said this might be the best line Kansas has had since he had been here.
"I think Tim's going to do an outstanding job," Brown said. "With his expertise in assessing talent and his work ethic, KU will continue to be a top 20 (team). I highly respect him, and I think he has great vision."
"Everybody knows what everybody is going to do," he said. "Everybody communicates very well. Everyone has adapted to each other."
That is a result of the practice time together, Glasgow said.
While the line has been extremely successful, Smith said to wait until the season ended to fully judge them.
"We're pretty much together all the time," he said. "Since two-a-days the front line has been together the whole time. I think the extra practice time has helped us."
"We've been pretty good so far, but I think at the end of the year, then you can say if we're one of the best lines at Kansas or not," he said. "I'd like to think we will be. If we keep blocking and June keeps running like he does, then the team will do fine."
Glasgow said the line was unstop.

"I guarantee you when we're in sync, we can knock any defense off the ball," he said. "It's true. When we're hitting, there's not much that can stop us."

The offensive
line needs a little help blocking at times. That help usually comes from senior tight end Jim Moore. The Jayhawk running game often relies on the toss-sweep, which can make Moore's role important.
"The toss-sweep has been a big play for our offense," Moore said. "I think that the tight ends understand that that's an important job for us. That block is the most important block on that play."
When Moore looks at the job the line does every game, he is impressed, he said.
"I think that the front five are doing just an amazing job up front," he said. "If that continues, the running game is going to keep getting better."

the preseason magazines had gone to press before Vaughn's injury. As for the ones who didn't, Williams said that he didn't know how far the Jayhawks would drop in the polls and that losing the possible top preseason ranking wouldn't affect the team at all.
"I've never considered being No.1 a bad thing," Williams said. "I've said plenty of times I'd rather be picked there than 301. Every year I thought we'd be good and the league picked up first, I appreciated that. The expectation around here if we're picked third, seventh or tenth is that people still think those people are wrong. They still think we're great."
Kansas also announced yesterday that center Travis Williams has been medically disqualified because of hip and back injuries. The announcement concludes Williams' career as a player at Kansas.
After an MRI d e t e c t e d bulging discs in the back of the seven-foot junior from Rozel, the Kansas medical staff a d v i s e d Williams to end his career.
"I'm always yelling, because I just think the support of the bench is so important," Reves said.

Travis Williams
"This is a blow to the young man," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "He has worked extremely hard over the last two years to try to become a better player and be a greater part of our program."
Williams, a crime and delinquency studies major, will remain on scholarship at Kansas.
"We should all be concerned about what a young man's life would be like 15, 20 years down the line," Roy Williams said. "If Travis had continued to play, it was going to be very difficult for him to carry on a normal lifestyle."
Reves still understands the importance of her backup role on the team.

Nebraska."
Reves and the rest of the Jayhawks will compete this Friday and Saturday in the Kansas Tournament in Allen Field House. Kansas faces Texas-Pan American in its home office at 8 p.m.
Reves has received more playing time since the 7-UP Billiken Invitational, and she started the third game against Iowa last weekend at the Hawkeye Classic in Iowa City.
"Amanda works as hard or harder as anyone on the team," Schonewise said. "She's learning
quickly."
