...things stand now 22 of the 46 men on the University squad are on the doctor's list. Not all, fortunately, are in a serious way. The condition of the following is causing the coaches a good deal of concern: Adie, Daley, Miller, Zarakov, Cheek, Nash, Gehrke, Spalding, and Gamaohe. The last two named were hurt on Saturday.

Cheek did not play against Princeton, but his condition is causing the doctors considerable worry. Hammond and Adie were injured in the conflict, but will probably be all right by the end of the week...
