didn't feel so well.

coach muttered. I'VE drew a
complete blank today. It's
really Blue Monday for men"
If there was q silver lining
to the dark cloud it was the
fact that Jim Pace took a blow
on his bad knee with no visible
affect. Defensive Halfback Jim
CoSten of South Carolina,
covering Pace on q running
play, couldn't pull up in time
to avoid him and sent Jim
sprawling to the ground.
Reluctant To Get Up

Pace admitted later. IT lay
there for q minute and the
knee felt shaky. Then / got
UP and it seemed to be all
right and ran back to the hud-
die.

felt the same after he was
hurt" Pace went on, "but I
won't be satisfied until I get
hit hard in scrimmage. That's
what I'm waiting for. When
it happens, and I have no bad
affects, I'll know I'm ready"
