to keep Roy out 3 weeks
From Staff Reports
Nebraska Football Coach Tom
Osborne said Tuesday’s two-hour
workout on the grass practice fields
northeast of Memorial Stadium was “a
little sluggish.”
The Comhuskers had their last con
tact before Friday’s final preseason
scrimmage in preparation for the Sept.
7 season opener against Michigan State
at Memorial Stadium.
The top two offensive units ran 13
pass plays against the No. 1 and No. 2
defensive units, and the team also prac
ticed a goal-line drill.
Osborne said tight end Dorrick
Roy, a 6-foot-3, 230-pound sopho
more, needed only minor knee surgery
Tuesday, keeping him out three weeks.
Redshirt freshman guard James
Shaman, also had minor knee surgery
Tuesday.
Senior comerback Michael Booker
participated in half of Tuesday’s prac
tice, but NU’s No. 1 left comerback
had to leave early after tendinitis flared
up in his knee.
Osborne also said tight end Vershan
Jackson is still bothered by an ankle
injury.

Recurring grain injury
FULLMAN /roro page 12
athletic trainer and physical thera
pist, said Fullman’s injury is called
an osteitis pubis, the inflammation
of the bony region of the groin.
Weber said there is a cartilage
pad — called a symphis pubis —
between the spot in which the two
hip bones are joined. Many differ
ent muscles are attached to this car
tilage, which can easily become ir
ritated.
“A sudden quick movement at
times can disrupt that a little bit,”
Weber said. “Sometimes over time
with a combination of running and
explosive activities and some
people say lifting, you can get that
roughened.”
Not much can be done to pre
vent osteitis pubis, Weber said, ex
cept for stretching and strengthen
ing and avoidance of activities that
can irritate the cartilage.
“Unfortunately, for football it
seems all of those activities irritate
it,” Weber said. “We’ve had a run
of those in the last year.”
But right now, Fullman, who re
turned to practice Monday after los
ing his No. 1 spot on the depth chart
to true freshman Ralph Brown, said
he felt no pain.

NU wingback Vedral
earns preseason award
From Staff Reports

Nebraska wingback Jon Vedral has
been named to the 1996 All-American
Farm Football Team.
Vedral, a senior from Gregory, S.D.,
is the only NU player on the 24-man
first team. Vedral is also the only Big
KANSAS from, page 12
ated Press poll after beating UCLA 51
30 in the Aloha Bowl. KU lost to Ne
braska 41-3 and to Kansas State 41-7.
Can the Jayhawks repeat the suc
cess they had last season?
“On paper we certainly have a
chance to be a better team this season,”
Kansas Defensive Coordinator Mike
Hankwitz said. “A year ago, we were
extremely young and we gelled as a
team and had a good season. But to
duplicate a 10-win season would be
ffifficulk”
With the football team’s success,
there is a new attitude at KU.
“We’ve turned it around a little bit
and we’re getting more support,” jun
ior defensive tackle Brett McGraw
said. “I think people here are looking
a little more toward football. When I
first got here, I’m not sure if people
knew if we had a team.”
But Hankwitz said the Jayhawks
may have trouble repeating 1995.
One reason is their schedule. After
opening Thursday against Ball State,
the Jayhawks don’t play another home
game until Oct. 12. In between, they
play at Tfcxas Christian, Utah and Okla
homa. Kansas also plays Nebraska in
Lincoln On Oct. 26.
But Hankwitz' said part of the
Jayhawks’ success a year ago came as
a result of road victories. Kansas beat
Colorado in Boulder for the first time
since 1984, and until last season, KU
had not beaten Oklahoma in Norman
since. 1975.
“We had some key victories on the
road last season,” Hankwitz said. “But
you can’t dwell on those things.”
Instead, Hankwitz is looking for
ward to the Jayhawks’ possibilities on

both sides of the ball. Second-team all
conference running back June Henley
returns for his senior season with the
Jayhawks.
Henley, who has a career rushing
total of 2,492 yards, has a chance to
become Kansas’s career rushing leader.
“If he runs die ball like he’s capable
of, and he will, then those figures will
take care of themselves,” Hankwitz
said. “In our offense, he’ll have that
chance to have that kind of success.”
Henley needs 1,297 yards to sur
pass Tony Sands as the Jayhawks all
time career rusher. But Henley knows
those yards won’t come easy.
“I’m ready to take on the chal
lenge,” Henley said. “I know there's a
lot of pressure on me following L.T.
Levine. Fm pretty sure I have a nice
supporting cast "
The question for the Jayhawks on
offense concerns the replacement of
quarterback Mark Williams, who
earned most-valuable-player honor in
last year's Aloha Bowl.
Former Nebraska quarterback Ben
Rutz was the Jayhawks top candidate
to replace Williams, but a knee injury
in die spring slowed Rutz’s develop
ment.
“Ourconcems on offense would be
the quarterback position," Hankwitz
said.
On defense, the Jayhawks return
seven starters, including McGraw. Last
season, Kansas only allowed 10 rush
ing touchdowns and finished the sea
son third in die conference in rushing
defense. -k
But Hankwitz still has some con
cerns.
