Shannon Out With Injury As SIU Invades Washington U.
Trying to muster some offensive punch without star Hailbak Carver Shannon, and planning ways to stop the Bears’ bruising single wing attack, the Southern Salukis invade St. Louis tomorrow to meet the Washington University football team.
Shannon suffered a slight shoulder separation last Saturday as the Salukis lost to Western Illinois at McAndrew Stadium, and will miss the game. X-rays revealed the injury.
Adding to the woes of Coach Al Kawal are injuries to backfield men. Halfbacks Dave Miles and Tom Kilpatrick are also among the ailing, along with End Richard Strainic.
