It was a period of great upheaval, and artifacts were scarce. "We measured every limestone rock," Lukermann said, "every square inch of soil." The result was a volume of findings that came out in 1972, of which Lukermann wrote one chap­ ter. The book dealt with circulation and settlement patterns during the time of the collapse of the Mycenaean Empire. Lukermann was at this time a member of the Geography Depart­ ment at the University, and the marriage of history and geography that he found in Greece was begin­ ning to make itself evident again in modern times all over the country. "Geography exploded as a disci­ pline after World War II," Luker­ mann said. "What happened was that Americans went to war and discovered suddenly that there was a world around them."

He smoked for some time in silence as his mind ran over the games he had figured in so promi­ nently the past three years. "I've done my duty to the old coll ege; so why should I go in tomorrow?" So his mind ran. "Too much work, a nd the chances of getting hurt are too many. Look how old Samuels got laid out last Saturday. Suppose-" Suddenly hi s face clouded. "Ah , that's it - am I afraid?" He puffed on for several moments, and then, as though speaking to the fire, he said, "What would she say?" The stands and sidelines are filled .
