the sworn statement made today to
Coroner Rogers by Homer N. Young
of Pittsburg, Pa, former Michigan
University player. who was the off.
cial referee of the game. His state.
ment is as follows:
Rudolph Munk was running down
the field in advance of the man with
the ball, West Virginia having the
ball about 80 yards from the Bethany
goal. He was not close to the ball.
On this play he was met by mar
said to be Gardner, as his name was
given to me by Townsend, the coach
for the Bethany team. On this par
ticular play this man Gardner ran
towards Munk while both were run
ming down the field. About the time
they got 10 yards beyond the scrim-
mage line Gardner, to the best of my
recollection, struck Munk on the back
of his head with his (Gardner's) fist
Munk fell and Gardner practically
fell over him. Gardner got on his
feet, for an instant gazed at Munk
and started to walk off the field.
For this foul put him out of the
game. He made no reply and no
protest whatever. Munk was uncon-
scious. Evidently to me. the blow
which felled Munk was Intentional"
Mccoy is the real name of the play
er who is charged with striking
Munk, but in this game he was play
ing under the name of Gardner. Af-
ter he had been ordered from the
field he passed the bleachers, where
several hundred West Virginia root

crowd and in reply Mccoy said.
We'll. he was smuggling me all
through the game"
DR.. o. M, Stats rushed to the side
of the player and hurriedly plac-
ing him in an automobile rushed him
to the City Hospital. Half a score
of physicians worked over him. but
all to no avail. He died shortly af-
ter o'clock without having regained
consciousness.
Captain Henley, of Bethany. when
asked concerning the play, said: "It
is the consensus of opinion among
the Bethany and players that Munk
hit Mccoy and Mccoy hit him back.
None of the Bethany players saw the
play, nor do I think the officials did,
as all were watching the man with
the ball"
