Doctors predict Foyt
to fully recover from
serious Indy crash
MILWAUKEE (AP) — A.J. 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.

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.
