A world of hurt // Former Texas football star Dawson doesn’t let injury ruin his life

Dawson was troubled with Achilles’ tendinitis throughout his professional career, so he knew a rupture was possible. After that September afternoon, Dawson went to Eugene, Ore., for surgery to repair the rupture of his left Achilles’ tendon. He later had surgery on his right one after doctors discovered his problem was congenital. The next summer, Dawson tried to return to the Cardinals. At training camp, he was under a team doctor’s care, but he aggravated the left Achilles’ running wind sprints. The Cardinals released him because he could not pass their physical, although they paid for Dawson’s third surgery and paid him $65,000 as required by the NFL. In the back of his mind, Dawson believed he could play football again, but he turned to his current career to help him bide his time while he rehabilitated. Before the 1988 season, at least eight teams contacted Dawson and his agent about tryouts, but his heels still were not strong enough to play. Last March, Dawson gave up all ideas of returning to football.

Injuries, inexperience hurt Cowboys

BYU fullback Fred Whittingham ran for 65 yards and caught six passes for 127 yards despite missing a week of practice with an Achilles tendon injury . . . BYU linebacker Bob Davis said: “It’s sad that they are 1-5 because they are a better team than that.” . . . Former Gateway High School star Darrell Perkins returned from extensive knee and Achilles injuries for two carries for 6 yards . . . Sean Fleming’s 46.1-yard average on nine punts should keep him atop the WAC leaders. His counterpart, Earl Kauffman, booted a career- high 75-yard punt that soared over Wyoming return man Tim Mara, a freshman from Mullen High School . . .

FRYAR TO TEST KNEE TODAY

The Patriots and Falcons met in the preseason, with New England winning, 23-7, in a game that was delayed by lightning . . . The Patriots will get their first look at the Falcons’ No. 1 pick, cornerback Deion Sanders. Sanders is expected to start for the first time and is also the Falcons’ primary punt and kickoff returner. Defensive end Kenneth Sims vs. Falcons guard Bill Fralic — [Raymond Berry] calls Fralic another John Hannah. Sims is coming off one of his best games since his return from a ruptured Achilles’ tendon, which he suffered at the start of last season. Sims may not line up against Fralic all the time, but he is sure to run into him during the afternoon. That battle will play a large part in determining the outcome of the game.

The Cold Facts About Knee Injuries

Yes, moguls can cause problems. Bump skiing puts a great demand on the patella (knee cap) and the tendon that connects it to the tibia (leg bone). Just as in basketball, the patella tendon and the smooth surface under the kneecap is cyclicly loaded and can produce microscopic tears in the structures. Such tears can be the forerunners of stress injuries in the unconditioned knee, with pain behind and below the kneecap. Just the position of your body can invite injury. Some bump skiers lean back, putting their weight on the rear of their skis, especially in “”jet” turns. With the newer, higher ski boot and with most bindings, landing on the heel of your ski causes the boot to force the tibia forward. Again, the hamstring muscles cannot react fast enough, and “”pop” goes the knee. Ironically, I’ve found that a good percentage of anterior cruciate ligament tears occur on the flats. And they occur to skiers of all ability levels, including instructors. Typically, the skier cruises onto the flats from the steeper terrain and relaxes. Then he stands up more – extending the knee – and often loses edge control or catches a tip or edge. Again, “”pop” goes the knee.

Seminoles’ Carruthers enjoying his sudden fame

TALLAHASSEE – He could barely straighten his right arm for all the people who wanted to shake his hand, but Kirk Carruthers wasn’t about to acknowledge his secret. Damaged tendons be damned, he thought. But for those watching FSU’s 24-10 victory over Miami last Saturday, it was difficult to miss Carruthers. He had two interceptions, a fumble recovery, a forced fumble and 16 tackles, 11 of which were solo. “He’s not big, he’s not a flyer, he’s not this, he’s not that,“ said FSU coach Bobby Bowden, whose sixth-ranked Seminoles (6-2) play South Carolina (5-2-1) on Saturday afternoon at Doak Campbell Stadium. “But he’s a player. He looks like a winner. He’s not surprised me all that much because he has instinct. He will go to the right place at the right time.“

Costly First Win for Warriors / Lister Goes Down With Ankle Injury, May Miss Season

Not only did the Warriors continue to show worrisome signs of untidiness in their offensive schemes (they committed a season-high 33 turnovers), they also lost [Alton Lister] to an Achilles’ tendon injury midway through the third quarter. The loss of Lister would have been bad news at any time, but the fact that it happened with the Los Angeles Lakers on the Warriors’ immediate horizon (tomorrow night) made it all the more ominous. That squarely places big-time pressure on Blab and Manute Bol – but there’s a certain beauty in that, too. Neither Blab nor Bol handles the ball much in the Warriors’ motion offense, so the turnover factor might not change at all.
