PERHAPS A FATAL BLOW.

One Harvard Student knocks Out AM
other While boxing.
A. H. Linder. Harvard, '95. Of Boston,
Ell gagged in a friendly boxing bout with
Arthur Foster, '96, of Jacksonville Fla,
ON Tuesday night. In one of the rounds
Foster administered singing blow be-
tween the chin and ear to Under and the
latter fell to the floor Whether he hit his
head in doing is not known. He re-
manned unconscious all night in spite of
the combined efforts of several physicians
and nurses Yesterday morning the doc
tor announced that Under could not live
six hours. Last night. however, he was
still living. but unconscious. and breathing
with difficulty. The trouble seems to be
conclusion of the brain. The doctors can
give no relief. and are simply waiting for
developments.
Foster was the leading candidate for
quarter BIZ ok on the eleven last fall, until
he was taken i'll with pneumonia and forced
to stop playing.
He was training for sparirng event in
the games of the Massachusetts Institute
OF Technology on Saturday. He is sup
posed to be one of the strongest and most
skillful boxers In the university. On Tues
day he asked Linder, who has also a repu-
tation in the sparrng line, to give him a
practice bout at the rooms of the new SPAR
ring club.
Linder accepted, and at about 4:3O on
Tuesday the two met and began their
rounds. There was regular timer pres
ent, for the exhibition was supposed to
be a test of Fosters condition. Friendly
feeling prevailed on each side, although
the fighting was at times hard. Then came
the blow which produced the serious re-
suit.
Under is a member of the Pi Eta So
ciety and the shooting club, and is also
secretary of the sparring club. He is a
quiet man, and was generally liked. Fos-
ter is one of the best known men in his
class. He is deeply affected by the acct
dent and is inconsolable.

From the st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat.
'.It is not generally known that the hot
test, most arid desert in the world is In
the United States, but such Is the fact.
said r. C. McKeighan of San Deiso to the
corridor man at the Lindell. THE Cocapah
desert is small but 1t Is the most dangerous
of any in the known world. Standing upon
the mountain range to the east, looking
across the sixty miles of plain to another
mountain range on the west, with glimpses
of two small lakes midway between, it
does not appear that it requires any ex-
traorlinary feat Of danger or endurance
to cross the plain. And this has caused
the loss of many lives. The sand of that
desert is so hot that in a few miles the
shoes will be literally burned off the trav-
eler's feet beasts will be overcome before
half the distance is encompassed. and the
INJURIOUS traveller dies ia agony, literally
consumed with heat from without and thirst
within. Many have been known to attempt
the journey and but few have beer known
to return. These had gone no further than
the first lake, and finding it salt water,
had beaten a retreat. The nearest lake has
been reached often enough to know that it
GIBBS and flows with the Gulf of Cali
fornia, and the water is the same. hence
it must be part of that body although
separated from il by sixty seventy miles
of solid earth and a high range of noun
tains. This range was probab bly, a one time
an island, and the Cocapah desert the bot
tom of the sea l once started across the
barren waste to investigate. but / had not
gone ten miles before becoming completely
exhausted. the soles OF my feet were Bills
tered with heat. my brain grew dizzy,
could get no air. and the breath seemed
to stop in my throat / turned back just
in time to save my life. and when 1 reached
the forests of the mountain once more
was delirious for hours"
