MUMMA LOST TO TEAM
franklin and Marshall's Big Tackle
Has Dislocated Shoulder.
NATIONAL LEAGUE

LANCASTER Pa, Sept. 1S.-The
Franklin and Marshall varsity lost a
much needed man yesterday, when Num-
ma. a big tackle. sustained a dislocated
shoulder, which will keep him out of the
game this year. Near the middle OF last
season the shoulder was first disloca ted
and hrumma, who had played in all the
contests UP to that time, was lost. His
absence from the position on the line
again this year will be more keenly felt
with Hartman away.
Coach Sykes, of Franklin and Marshall
Academy, with Schaffner last years cap
tain of the college eleven assisting, had
the prep school squad on the field for
the first time last night. Only three of
last years varsity are back, and these
men. Hartman, Spangler and Irwin must
form the nucleus for the team. Even of
the scrubs of last year only Alcsbury,
Ferguson and Yoder have come back At
this early moment Reese, of Mountville
High, and Clark. who was at Bethlehem
Prep in 1913 look likely. Altogether the
team will he light. but the coaches, both
of whom are new men, have hopes of
developing a speedy eleven.
