Incident at Abe and Jake's not reason receiver can't play
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino announced yesterday that junior wide receiver Greg Heaggins would not play in Saturday's game against Nebraska.
Heaggans, who was arrested for a DWI early on the morning of Sept. 16, was also the victim of an assault at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., on early Sunday morning.
"The information that I received is that it seems he was assaulted," Mangino said. "He wasn't doing anything wrong to my knowledge."
Mangino said the reason he would not play had nothing to do with the latest incident at Abe and Jake's.

"I don't want to give the impression that I am trying to influence somebody or something," he said.
Mangino said he spoke with Heaggans about the incident on early Sunday morning.

Heaggans did not violate any team rules by going to Abe and Jake's on Saturday night, Mangino said.

Hearing to set gymnasts' fate
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Court of Arbitration for Sport held an 11 1/2-hour hearing Monday in Lausanne, Switzerland, to determine whether Paul Hamm should again be declared the winner of the Olympic gymnastics all-around competition, or the victory should go to Yang Taeyoung of South Korea.
young of South Korea. "It was a very fair hearing and everyone got the chance to say what they thought," Hamm said in a teleconference after the hearing. "If they determine by the rules of gymnastics I should give back my medal, I will."
It has beep quite an odyssey for Hamm and Yang, who was wrongly docked 0.1 points for the level of difficulty of his parallel bars routine in the
all-around.
The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) reviewed the meet the next day and suspended the judges, admitting a mistake and adding fuel to the South Korean protest.

FIG president Bruno Grandi confused the issue by writing a letter to Hamm asking him to surrender the gold medal voluntarily. Grandi wrote, "The true winner of the all-around competition is Yang Tae-young."
Despite the suspensions, officials for the federation said they wouldn't change the results because the South Koreans didn't file a protest in time.
The South Koreans brought the case to CAS — the final authority on Olympic matters.
Arguing on Hamm's behalf, U.S. Olympic Committee attorney Jeff Benz said there was no way to assume Yang would have won, because there was one event left after the parallel bars and there was no guarantee everything would have turned out the same.
He also argued that judgment calls by officials during competitions were not subject to review by CAS, and that the South Koreans didn't file their appeal until it was too late to change the result.

About 40 people speaking no fewer than seven languages were in the courtroom. The arguments were heard by three arbitrators — one each from Germany, Kenya and Britain. Reeb said the ruling was expected within two weeks.

Eagles' talent and attitude calculate into 3-0 start
PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles had talent. Now they have swagger and personality, too.
swagger and poise No, these aren't the same old Eagles, who lost the last three NFC championship games.
And it isn't just because they added Terrell Owens and Jevon Kearse and brought back Hugh Douglas and Jeremiah Trotter.
Sure, Owens and Kearse have proved to be the missing pieces on offense and defense, helping the Eagles start 3-0 for the first time since they won four in a row to open the 1993 season. But they've also helped provide another missing ingredient: attitude.
another missing ingredient. These Eagles are cocky and confident. They strut their stuff on the field, in the end zone and in the locker room.
When they're not connecting on long passes, Owens and quarterback Donovan McNabb are sharing laughs on the sidelines, or critiquing each other's dance moves.
