The most sig nificant injury is to forward Mark Hendrickson, who is ex per .ted to miss this weekend with a stress fracture in his right leg. Sampson said the injury is healing, and he could return this week, but next weekend's game against Wash ington is a more likely return date. "We re not going to rush (Hen drit kson) hack and play him if it is something that con hurt him later." he said The rest of the Cougars are expected to he in action this weekend, but Ellison (strep throat), guard Tony Harris (sprained knee), forward Fred Ferguson (sprained wrist) and guard Eddie Hill (101-degree tem perature) have been slowed in practit e.
