News about Jordan's personnel was both good and bad this week. Roger Wach strained a leg muscle, and his 136- pound slot will be filled by Bob Abboud, who saw service as a freshman 128-pounder last year.

The white hat went sailing up in the air and it's a miracle his head didn't go with it. A few of his compatriots made a rash sortie in rescue, but it was a lost cause. They were neatly cut off and annihilated...
