Cadets Gsarding Body

Funeral services will be held to-
morrow in the Catholic chapel at the
post. where the body was taken. A
cadet guard has been posted at the
chapel and details of young soldiers
will watch over the body until after
the service tomorrow.
The funeral will be conducted with
full military honors. Monsignor C. c.
o'Keefe, in charge of the Catholic
chapels in this vicinity, will officiate.
The manner of young Byrne's injury,
witnessed as it was by the father and
the hundreds who gathered here to
see the army struggle against Harvard,
was dramatic. When the spectators
realized the shock was serious, the
cheering was hushed as if by magic. A
few minutes later Byrne was carried
unconscious from the reld. Taken to
the cadet hospital, skilled surgeons
iabored over him throughout the night.
Conscious at times he realized the seri-

All Activities Suspended

By order of Colonel Scott cadet
activities for today were directed to be
only such as were necessary.
There was no parade tonight. the flag
was lowered to half mast and direc-
tions were given that all academic
duties be suspended tomorrow.
Young Byrne was only 21 years of
age, but was a veteran of the army
football team and popular with his
classmates and officers. He was acting
as captain of the eleven yesterday.
Byrne was injured in a mass play on
tackle, play common enough in foot
ball, and which had been used several
times in the game previous to the in
cident. Byrne, standing valiantly as
left tackle for the army. was forced
under the rush of crimson players, and
on falling must have had his head
twisted into position where the
weight of the men piling upon him was
greater than the strong ligaments of
the vertebrae column could stand.

DES MONIES. Ia. Oct. s1.-President
H. NJ. Bell of Drake university and
President A. B. storms of Iowa state

should not be condemned because of
the death of Byrne and the terrible

of Byrne,' said President Bell. But
