g LAST MEETING: After six straight setbacks opening the season and a
` split in the next two games, the Wildcats flexed both offensive and defensive
~ muscles while playing “under wraps” against the Musketeers. The 27-0 final
F tally did not represent the true power of Kentucky, the nation’s best losing
5; team, as they were readying themselves for a supreme effort the next week·
5 end with Tennessee. The Muskies never mustered a serious threat after fail-
V ing to score on a 52-yard drive with the opening kickoff.
l 1958 OUTLOOK: Coach Mick Connolly has at his dis osal an ex erienced
·l P P
{ hand at every position save center and a highly promising crop of sophs up
  from a yearling squad that went undefeated last season and were called one
l of the best freshmen groups in Xavier history. An improvement in the Mus-
jl kies’ running game should be noted this season, Connolly says. Key to the
, expected improvement over last seasonls 5-5 record record reportedly is the
passing game phase of multiple T operations. Tops in the personnel depart-
ment are Art DelConte, 218 pound guard who serves as captain; fullbaek
T Ed Serieka, already drafted by the Cleveland Browns; leading scorer Terry
Meyer and a good ground-gaining halfback, Faust Coyle. Xavier will have
good size as usual to go with improved speed.
