MORE INJURIESiniCRIPPLE SHS i; GRID SQUAD !i----| CCW(Gloom prevaded the Somerset High lo football team lost evening as they swung into the last several days o: fr practice before thei. comeback at- ki tempt against Perndal^ here Friday jj, afternoon.Further injuries cropped out yes- O terday, along with sickness, eflectu- ai ally crippled a team already badly,shot up.The casualty list to date reads like that after a serious battle. First it tY was Nat Morroeco. who suffered a o’ concussion of the b ain and partial ei paralysis n the Ebensburg game. The 11' tiny quarterback is still confined to ol his home, although recovering slowly, la Olenn Blubaugh has been sick aM season, and will get a final report tt from a doctor today as to whether or se not he will be allowed to p!ay again, fe Shatter Has Chipped Bone a;Charlie Shaffer had his ankle in- in jured against Windber and although tl it was not serious at the time it slt; cropped up against Franklin and he : spent the second half on the bench, tl Now it develops that he has a chipo- tlt; ed bone, and wiiether or not he will return is problematical. NDick Boyd went to the hospital af- tl ter the Franklin game, and came out w with his left arm in a sling. A broken L hand finished his career. 1 ylt;Then Elmer Barron came down with a gland infection and is sick in bed. A possible case of pneumonia wi.l certainly keep him out of the Fern- lc dale game. # j eiLast night Vic Morroeco didn’t d show up for practice, and rome o; flt; his mates said he had a dose of grip- c: pe and vas sick in bed And Paul Dix- a on is handicapped by an injured back.Some casualty list! A quarterback, a two halfbacks, a fullback, one guard, h one tackle and one end. Shaffer and B!ubaugh are co-captains of th° team, and naturally their leadership will be misled. pBackfleld is Paralyzed j siMost missed are the four backs. Coach Ad Lloyd is in such bad shape ii for reserve ball carriers right now si that a couple of boys originally on H the B squad have b rn moved up to P the second team, and in the event of n an injury during the game, which is r mo.o than probab e they will be forc-j ed into the lineup. i tiHam Pyle, who started as a sub is g now the rearest approach to a regu- !1st remain ng in the tackfMd. Sam d Wak»r has .seen a lot o’ action in g Blubaugh's spot and Puskas and Ko- ^ i eppv seem slated for the other two c berths in ca e Dixon and Vic don’t y return oy Friday. Whi h completely eliminates all backfleld reserves. j The line too has been hard hit ? Kalph Emert stepped into Boyd s post s • and has been doing right well, but d he was the other center, and now the li n st string reserve guard is Earl Mil- e ler who packs all cf 130 pQund^.Stern gets the left tackle post and h Charlie Moyer is the reserve. Gene 1 | Vogel, who has more time at the right a wing than aBr.on returns as a reg- b ular, but after him the crop ismighty thin. * i sT« am Much Lighter nAll of which means that the Som- a , erset team is about 15 to 20 poundslighter in average than at the sta.t of cthe season, The attack is practically ?, gone, and the defense not much bet- ci ter. And their remaining games pit a them against Ferndale, Westmont and! Meyersdale, • ,No wonder Coach Lloyd is think- n j ing of buying his aspirin in case lots 1
