HIGH SCHOOL BACK
GETS BROKEN JAW
Is the Second Bad Accident
in Football History of
the School.

The second serious accident in the
four years that Fairmont High has
bean represented with a football team
occurred on Saturday at Morgantown
when Mathew Turkovlch, the star full.
back for the local eleven, sustained a
broken jaw. 1t is very probable that
he will be out of the game for several
weeks, despite the fact that he wants
to get back into the game here next
Saturday with Shin1ston.
The accident occurred at the begin
ming Of the fourth quarter after he had
distinguished himself for his excellent
playing. While making a tackle he
was kicked by one of the Morgantown
players knocking both jaw bones out
of place, breaking the right jaw bone,
knocking out two teeth and cutting a
cash in the lower gum. The injury
was entirely accidental.
Following the accident he was taken
to a Morgantown hospital and later
brought to his home at Monongah.
The first accident during the four
years that the local high school has
been playing football occurred two
years ago when Bernard Ginkle, play,
ing halfback, sustained a broken leg
in game at Grafton.

College football may not be up to
