that Coach Neale might soon be able to

get no better.
Capt Luke suffered bad strain last
Saturday and has been kept from work

South Carolina.
One bright spot is the probability
that Taylor will be back as center. He
was hurt in the opening game.
However; the chief problem in the
backfield is locating a reserve fullback,
