LINCOLN, Nov. 21.-(Special)-T Lin
coin High school foot ball team has can
celled the Saturday game with the lola
Kan, High school team and may disband
for the season because of the serious in
jury incurred by Homer Gibson, the Kan
sas City manual player, in the game last
Saturday. Gibson is improving since the
trepanning operation was performed and
the blood clot was removed from the cere-
bral cavity, but the accident has placed a
damper on the spirits Of the Lincoln lads.
who were intensely anxious over the early
reports that the young man would die.
The game with lola has been definitely
called on. but no action has yet been taken
in regard to the remaining dates, although
It is stated that a majority OF the students
favor the cancellation Of all other dates
for the season. Assistant Manager Hine
of the team takes the same view.
Gibsons close call has had it's effect in
awakening the opposition TO high school
foot ball into activity and there is more
or less talk against the game. Should the
accident have terminated fatally anxious
parents were ready TO take stringent meas
ures to combat the game AS ii is, with
the Kansas City player lying in a hospital
with a very grave injury, many parents
are manlfesting q disposition to take their
sons out OF the game, and to that infu-
ence the cancellation of the remaining
games will be responsible in a measure,
although ostensibly out of respect for Glib
son.
The man was injured in fair play. 1t is
explained that the accident was unavoid-
able and due TO the rush OF the contending
players for a fumbled ball.
