Baylor football player
in critical condition,
but improving slight!)
WACO (AP) — Some vital organs
of a Baylor University football
player who collapsed during a work
out are not functioning, but his con
dition is slightly improved, a school
spokesman said Tuesday.
Reserve offensive lineman John
Karkoska was in critical condition at
Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center
with liver and kidney failure, said
Baylor sports information director
Maxey Parrish.
Karkoska, who collapsed Thurs
day, had been in extremely critical
condition after his admission to the
hospital.
Parrish said Tuesday that Karkos-
ka’s liver is “not functioning at all,
but the kidneys did function a little
(Monday), but not to any great de
gree.”
Calls to the hospital were referred
to Baylor officials. “The team physi
cians have requested that we be the
source,” Parrish said.
A highly recruited lineman from
Aldine two years ago, Karkoska fin
ished a two-hour workout Thursday
by running wind sprints called “gas-
sers” with the rest of the squad, Bay
lor coach Grant Teaff said in a news
conference Monday.
“One of the assistant coaches
heard him say ‘My bowels are about
to burst,’ and he went into the res
troom,” Teaff said. “When he came
back he ran a lap around the field
and that was when it happened.”
Dr. R.V. Covington, team physi
cian, said Karkoska’s body tempera
ture and heart rate were “extremely
elevated.”
Covington, an orthopedist, said
he and the trainers treated the red-
shirt freshman at the scene
koska later was taken by ambulau
to Hillcrest.

“That’s the crux of the wk

say the workout triggered the

“But, whatever it was, it wasps

couldn’t say how that had beeni

He said various medical specials
have been examining Karkoska as
asking his teammates, trainer
friends and relatives if he coi

“From a medical standpoit
nothing adds up right now.”
Teaff, who had stayed at thelii

to practice Monday.

Johnson says Highsmith
will start against ’ Skins
IRVING (AP) — Fullback
Alonzo Highsmith, who was ob
tained in a trade from the Hous
ton Oilers but has yet to play a
down for the Dallas Cowboys, will
get his chance on Sunday against
the Washington Redskins, coach
Jimmy Johnson said on Tuesday.
Highsmith, who started all 16
games for the Oilers, was dis
mayed he didn’t get into Sunday’s
game, a 28-7 loss to the New York
Giants.
Johnson tried to put aside ru
mors that Highsmith had knee
problems.
“We’re disappointed Alonzo
didn’t get a lot of action,” John
son said. “We anticipated playing
him a lot more against the Giants.
We’ll make sure Alonzo gets into
the lineup about half the time
against the Redskins.
“He’s healthy hut he doesn’t
know the entire offense. He
hasn’t run a pass route in three
years. He’s obviously rusty.”
Highsmith and quarterback
Troy Aikman were unhappy w-ith
Johnson after the loss.
“I thought I was going to get to
play and I was ready,” Highsmith
said.
Aikman was mad because
Johnson yanked him out of the
game in the second half after
Lawrence Taylor returned an in
terception 11 yards for a touch
down. Steve Walsh came in and
threw an interception.
“I didn’t feel like a change was
in order,” Aikman said after the
game. “I was throwing the hall
well.”
Johnson reiterated on Tuesday
that Aikman was the Cowboys
quarterback of the future.
“Troy is the key guy,” Johnson
said. “Troy and 1 are fine. Mon
was made out of him coming oui
of the game than should haw
been. The media played il up.
thought he did a good job. Ht
could have had an outstanding
game if th< receivers held i
the ball."
Aikman will start against
Redskins in RFK Stadium
Sunday.
Johnson said he understooc
why Highsmith and Aikman Were
complaining.
“I’d be disappointed if a player
said he was happy not playing,'
Johnson said. “If we start winning
we’ll all be one big happy family.
Johnson also said rookie wide
receiver Alexander Wright, who
returned a kickoff 90 yards foro
touchdown against the Giane
would see more action.
“It’s in our best interest to
players like Wright some expen
ence,” Johnson said. “We
have to pay our dues while we
some of our young players expe
rience and getting on the sane
page.”
Johnson said “I think Wright
will be a higtime receiver,
longer w'e hold him out the
longer it will take for us to be
good football team.”
The Cowboys trip to Washing
ton last year brought fond mem
ories, their only victory of thesei
son.
Asked about it, Johnson said
“my memory doesn’t work that
far back. 1 only remember las
Sunday.”
The oddsmakers didn’t re
