Foyt of Houston, the winningest driver in Indy Car racing history, will fully re cover from multiple fractures suf fered in a weekend crash doctors said Monday. Foyt remained in satisfactory con dition after being transferred from a Milwaukee hospital to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, where he. was scheduled to undergo a second operation. Foyt, 55, sustained multiple leg and foot fractures in a crash Sunday at the Texaco Havoline 200 at the Road America raceway in Elkhart Lake, Wis., about 60 miles north of Milwaukee. “These are not the kind of injuries we feel we’ll end his career,” said Dr. James Stiehl, an orthopedic surgeon at Milwaukee County Medical Com plex who supervised Foyt’s initial 4 1 /s-hour operation. “Ultimately, we feel he’ll gain a full recovery.” The accident ended Foyt’s 1990 racing season. Stiehl said the rehabilitation would take three to four months and would be aided by Foyt’s “perfect health.” Past injuries to Foyt, a four-time Indy 500 champion, include a crash during the 1981 Michigan 500 in which he broke his right arm, and a stock car crash last year at Charlotte, N.C., in which he sustained a serious concussion. But the crash Sunday resulted in the worst injuries of his career. “I feel he’ll make it back behind the wheel to compete again if that’s what he wants to do,” said Tony George, president of the Indianapo lis 500. “He’s in good shape for a man of 55 years old. “He’s always been a fast healer,” George added. “Whether or not he heals as fast at 55 as he did at 25, we’ll know in a couple of months. But my impression is that he still heals pretty fast at 55.” Foyt was in 14th place, a lap be hind the leaders, when his car went off the rolling four-mile, 11-turn cir cuit at Elkhart Lake at the end of the main straightaway, drove over an embankment and into a grassy de pression, crushing the driver’s legs. CART safety workers struggled for more than 15 minutes to pry the crushed front end off the injured driver, before transporting him to Milwaukee by helicopter. Baylor’s Karkoska died from virus, Teaff says WACO (AP) — A Baylor of fensive lineman who collapsed at practice Sept. 13 and died Satur day, suffered from a previously undetected virus which caused “complete system failure,” coach Grant Feaff said Monday. Teaff said doctors who worked on John Karkoska said the 19- year-old redshirt freshman from Houston suffered from viral gas troenteritis. Teaff told a news conference Karkoska had complained of stomach pains to his teammates several days before his collapse, and had told his mother the night before he was worried about los ing weight. None of the coaches, trainers or the team physician was aware of the problem, Teaff said. “This metabolic condition al lowed what was a normal, every day athletic activity for him to cause dotting, liver and kidney failure.” Teaff said there would be no autopsy. “eve had several questions about an autopsy,” Teaff said. “In regard to an autopsy, it is the unanimous feeling of the doctors and John's mother that no pur pose would be served.” Teaff answered questions con cerning speculation that Kar koska might have been involved in drug use, specifically steroids. “There is no evidence, no sus picion, no indication that John Karkoska was using steroids — or had ever used steroids — period,” Teaff said. Karkoska graduated from Al- dine High School in 1988 as one of the most highly-recruited line men in Texas. His father, the late Joe Karkoska, had coached foot ball at Aldine before dying from a heart attack nine years ago. Teaff said the Baylor team and coaches will attend Karkoska’s fu neral, scheduled for 3 p.m. Tues day at Pilgrim Lutheran Church in Houston. At the time of his collapse, Kar koska had been scheduled to start against Sam Houston State last Saturday. Teaff, after watching films of the practice, said nothing seemed unusual until Karkoska collapsed. “They scored a touchdown to ward the end of the scrimmage,” Teaff said, “and he was jumping up and down...” Teaff said after the team ran several wind sprints Karkoska said he needed to go to the res troom. When he returned, he be gan running around the field with the rest of the squad and col lapsed. Karkoska died 10 minutes be fore the kickoff against Sam Houston, and Teaff said he was notified just before taking the field. “It was a very hard first quar ter,” said Teaff, who had stayed at the hospital for four days after Karkoska went down, “The rea son I did not tell the team until after the game was because we could not have gone on with the ball game. The game would have had to have been called.” Teaff, with rears in his eyes, stepped away from the lecturn for a few moments when describ ing the moments before the Sam Houston game, Baylor, 1-2 after defeating Sam Houston 13-9, faces Texas Tech in Lubbock on Saturday. The coach said he does not yet know how the team will react on the field. UTs McWilliams defends critical game substitutions AUSTIN (AP) — Texas coach Da vid McWilliams on Monday de fended wholesale offensive substitu tions against Colorado on a crucial series that turned the ball over to the Buffaloes and allowed them to score the winning touchdown. Following a Colorado touchdown that had narrowed Texas’ lead to 22- 20, Texas took over at its 19-yard- line with approximately 10 minutes to play. First-team quarterback Peter Gar- dere joined the huddle with 10 Longhorn subs. A 4-yard run, an in complete pass that was tipped by Colorado’s 6-foot-6-inch linebacker Alfred Williams, and another incom plete pass forced Texas to punt. A 31-yard return carried to the Texas 35, and Colorado scored in seven plays on Eric Bieniemy’s 2- yard run with 5:57 remaining for a 27-22 lead, which was later padded by a safety on a Williams sack of Gar- dere. Softball Continued from page 7 weekend.” The Lady Aggies notched six wins in the tourney against one defeat —a 3-1 loss to Illinois State Friday night. Other than the win against CSU, A&M beat Creigton 6-1, Iowa State 5-0, Arizona State 1-0, Southern Illi nois 3-1 and Illinois State 3-0. Sophomore Missi Young came away with the tournament’s Most Valuable Player award. She was the winning pitcher in all six of the Ag gies’ victories. The righthander from Santa Fe struck out 35 batters and allowed just three runs in 43.2 innings for a 0.48 ERA. Brock said Young, now 9-2 this fall, pitched all three of Sunday’s games because the opposition just wasn’t having any success against her. “Missi just got going and I de cided to keep her in there,” he said. “She was too hot to pull out.” Joining Young on the all-tourna ment team were second baseman Karen Kalhoefer, a sophomore from Kingwood and first baseman Ste- hanie Schulte, a junior from Bren- am. The Lady Aggies’ performance at the NIC brings their fall record to 10-4-1. Brock said the team really came together and was up for the tournament. “It was a real team effort and that’s something I’ve been stressing to them all fall,” Brock said. “Wejust didn’t do anything wrong.” A&M continues their fall season tomorrow at 5 p.m. at the Lady Ag gie Softball Field adjacent to Olsen Field. t They face Southwest Texas State for the fourth time this fall.
