A fight involving two men — one a starting fullback on the Kansas football team — broke out just after 11 p.m. Saturday in the 100 block of 11th Street.
Sgt. Mike Pattrick of the Lawrence Police Department said Alvin Harris, a 39-year-old Harveyville resident, said he was walking with another man and his daughter when 21-year-old Austine Nwabuisi yelled derogatory comments about his daughter.
A verbal confrontation followed, and Harris said Nawabiu
punched him in the face, Patrickr said. Nwabuisi said Harris hit him in the face with a beer bottle, Patrick said. Both Harris and Nwabuisi reported the other party started the argument, Patrick said.
The man accompanying Harris then called the police, who arrived shortly after, Pattrick said. Harris was taken to the hospital with facial injuries, Pattrick said.
The incident is still under investigation, Pattrick said. When the police department completes the report, it will be sent to the district attorney's office, Pattrick said.
incident, Nwabuisi said interviews had to be approved by coach Mark Mangino. Harris did not return phone calls.
This is the second incident involving a football player in the past week. Tailback John Randle was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and interfering with the duties of a police officer early Friday morning.
Mangino released a statement yesterday saying, "I am in the process of gathering information on recent incidents involving our players. When I have all the facts, I'll take appropriate action."

Simien picked for All-Big 12
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas junior Wayne Simien and Texas Tech's Andre Emmett are unanimous choices to The Associated Press All-Big 12 team for 2003-2004.
Joining them on the first team are Tony Allen and point guard John Lucas, the key members of Oklahoma State's first conference championship since 1965, and Brandon Mouton, the top scorer on one of the best senior classes in Texas history.
The team was picked by a panel of media representatives who regularly cover the Big 12.
Kansas junior Keith Langford was selected for the second team, along with Colorado 7-footer David Harrison and Missouri seniors Rickey Paulding and Arthur Johnson, along with Colorado senior Michel Morandais.
Emmett, a 6-foot-5 native of Dallas, broke the Big 12 career scoring record of former Kansas star Nick Collison this year.
The 6-9 Simien delighted Kansas fans last week when he announced that he would stay in school for his senior year. If he remains healthy, he could be a leading contender for national honors.
Even though a groin injury forced him to sit out practice until the day before each game, Simien was second in the Big 12 in both scoring (17.6 points) and rebounding (nine).
"The greatest compliment you can pay a player is how he influences winning," said Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson.
"A lot of talented guys don't influence winning the game. Wayne Simien influences winning the game. When he was a
freshman, you could tell he was one of those special kids."
When asked to name the best player in the conference, excluding his own team, Kansas coach Bill Self did not hesitate.
"Tony Allen." he said.
The 6-4 Mouton is the highest-scoring member of one of the finest classes in Texas history. He and his three fellow senior starters have rung up 94 victories in four years.
He averaged a team-high 13.4 points this year and goes into his final postseason tenth on the Texas all-time scoring list. Going back to Feb. 4, 2003, he has posted double-digit points in 32 of 42 games.
Curtis Stinson, Iowa State's 21-year-old freshman, heads the third team, joined by Kansas' Aaron Miles, Iowa State's Jackson Vroman, the Big 12's top rebounder, Royal Ivey of Texas and Terrance Thomas of Baylor.
