PREP ATHLETE INJURED.
Georgetown Lad Hurt in Basket
Ball Game.

1t became known at Georgetown yes
terday that Herbert Lane. who has been
playing the Georgetown Prep basket
ball qunt during the past year. was badly
injured in the game Tuesday between the
embryos and the collegians. Toward the
end of the battle. which was waged
fiercely, he got in a mix-up with one of
his opponents while leaping for the ball.
and when he struck the floor his ankle
turned under him. At the time it was
thought that 1t was only slight wrench.
and it was generally believed that a few
hours would see him relieved Of the pain.
This, however. proved fallacy. as yes
terday he was unable to get about on the
injured member. and it is now certain
that his condition will prevent his taking
part in the indoor game for some little
time.
Luckily the Props are resting this week.
due to the disbanding of the Western
High School five The Red and White
team was to have met the Hilltoppers
yesterday, but the game was Cancelled
earlier in the week and 1t was found inn
possible al so late date to schedule an
other one N its place.
