FOOTBALL

Vista High School graduate and former University of Colorado quarterback Sal Aunese, suffering from a rare form of cancer, was back in the hospital Monday. But his doctor said there was no major change and he expects Aunese to go home by the end of the week.

Dr. Wayne Gersoff, Colorado’s team doctor, said a small amount of fluid had entered Aunese’s lungs through an opening that had been eaten away by cancerous cells. The fluid was drained, Gersoff said, and contained no cancerous cells.

Aunese’s current condition is stable and his overall condition remains unchanged, Gersoff said.
