...injuries, most notably at fullback where the depth chart trails off into an embarrassing nothingness after starter Sam Halaby. Second stringer Chris Hauge is sidelined with rib injuries, third stringer Jon Serbin will be out for the season with a fractured vertebra, and even Halaby is suffering from bruised ribs. In the emergency, halfback Glenn Haughie has been pressed into service as a fullback on a week's notice, but Yovicsin still winces at the situation...
Mindful of the U.S. Tariff Commission's recommendations for boosting tariffs, foreign nations regarded quotas as much the lesser evil.

As the evening dwindles away, they sing camp songs and conjure spirits and chart their astrology from cryptic directions on a weight machine. Look closely, and you will see they have holes in their socks and need a man's deodrant, and the only thing which sustains them is a vision...
