He has been injured at times during the l4st few football seasons, hut not seriously enough for him to miss ah entire game. ' i*' i „ Bell, Glum i Coach Matty Bell glumly, said, ^We ! didn’t v have much chance against Kentucky, ahyway; now \ye haven’t got any.” However, the remainder of the Mustang club is determined to win the Kentucky game “for Doak”.
