Locker room: fuller's earth before the relocated exhibition

texture · 20 Nov YDAU, pre-fête

When: 20 November YDAU, immediately before the fundraiser-exhibition-fête (relocated by the blizzard to the M.I.T. Student Union)
What: Amid the timeless ceremonial dressing, taping, and rumor-trading before the exhibition against the Québec squads, Coyle is among the players (with Freer, Stice, and Traub) filling a grip-pouch with fuller's earth. Hours after the ceiling-bed, his autopilot ritual is intact — the book's last image of him, calm and mid-pack.
