Jason Collins on Stanford Injured List Again

Jason Collins, a redshirt freshman at Stanford from Harvard-Westlake High, will be sidelined indefinitely after dislocating a bone in his wrist Monday against George Washington.

The wrist will be placed in a cast today, then reevaluated in seven to 10 days, according to Bob Vazquez, a school spokesman.

If surgery is required, Collins could miss the rest of the season.

He was averaging 13 minutes a game after redshirting last season because of knee surgery.

AUTO RACING

Jay Drake of Canyon Country, who finished second in the 1998 United States Auto Club Midget points standings, passed his Indy Racing League rookie test Dec. 3-4 at Texas Motor Speedway despite intermittent rain.

Drake, 29, completed his test in 55 laps, needing only 24 laps on the 1.5-mile high banked quad oval to hit 200 miles-per-hour, with a fast lap of 213.16.

John Barnes, chief mechanic and co-owner with quarterback Jim Harbaugh of the Baltimore Ravens and two others, said he was “blown away” by Drake, adding, “I think [Drake] is going to make a fabulous Indy-car driver.”

Said Drake: “I know I could have raised the 213-mph lap if we had another session. They told me on the radio to slow down during my test, but it was hard because the car drove so well.”
