FATAL CANE RUSH.

FELLOW STUDENTS SHOCKED DY
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

Boston, Nov. 15.-Hugh G. Moore Of
Rochester, \. Y. q Massachusetts In
sutute OF Technology freshman. 10
years Old. met his death in the annual
freshman sophomore cane rush at the
South End ball grounds, this afternoon
He died within 20 minutes after the
rush. in the ambulance while on the
way to the hospital Moore had taken
part in a foot ball game earlier in the
afternoon. He had been sick recently
and was probably in no condition to
take part in both contests. The cause
of death was undoubtedly due to suf-
foca ton and exhausted heart, although
an autopsy may reveal internal injur-
les as Well.
Moore was dragged from the final
pile-up, while hands were still being
counted upon the cane. His head pro-
truded from the twisted heap of legs
and arms and his eyes We're shut. He
was quickly carried to clear space
where Or. Mixter, who chanced 10 be
present. applied restoratives and did
everything possible to revive him. but
10 no purpose.
Nearly all the spectators had left the
field and they We're thus spared a ter
rible shock. Moore. who presently
larsed into total unconsciousness. was
placed in a city hospital ambulance
that had been summoned hut breathed
his last almost as the door OF the in
stitution was reached.

crent, and is expected here. tOmor-

did know him speak Of him in the high

The rush in itself was one of the
toughest and most fiercely contested in
the history of the Nj. |. T.. in which
the sophomores won. 10 to IL. Moore
was one Of the immediate defenders OF
the cane. Several times the fierCenesS
