Crippled List
LEFT Arm INJURED
By EDWIN j. POLLOCK

IRON chins and glass jaws are sup
posed to be common among those who
indulge in the manly art of boxing for
profession Now the steel nose enters
among those who batter each other on
the gridiron for sport.
Hobart Light. one of the best half
backs that ever dug IN the green of
Franklin Field. is tine owner of this
new type of nose. Said nasal organ is
somewhat out of shape today. but con
sidering what it has gone through it's
extremely fortunate that it still adorns
the face of the embryo Lebanon den
list.
Iobey is mild looking, peaceful sort
OF Il chap, He is soft spoken and
gentle in his manner and no one would
guess that such tough nose would be-
long to him. But if one doubts that
his nasal organ is composed of steel or
concrete or some such material. page

Nose VS.. Hip
1t was in the second period of the
football struggle on Franklin Field Sat
urday afternoon that Mr.. Light gave an
exhibition of the prowess of his nose.
Ut happened thusly:
Hobey was dashing around the port
side of Penn's line to take out any La
fayette man who happened along Bert
Bell was about to kick the field goa
which gave the Red and BlRe its first
three points of the engagement. 1t was
important that no one should interfere
with that particular kick, for up to that
time Lafayette looked like an extremely
tough foe and those three points were
likely to decide the game.
Light was going to make sure that no
one would block the drive, and when
Iauser came tearing through IT was up
to him to get him out of the play. lie
dove at the Easton boy and while he
was in the air he realized that Hauscr
was evading him. There was no chance
TO hit him with his shoulder but by
moving his head over slightly he saw
that he could hit him with his face.
Pleasant Choice
In that one dive Hobcy had the very
pleasant choice of running chance OF
having his facial expression ruined or
of allowing Hauscr to get by and BLOCK
the kick. He selected the most unselhsh
method and turned his head.
Lights nose ran into l1auser,s hip
and the pair of them went tumbling TO
the gridiron. Hobey got, up holding ms
nose, but the PAIN was lesseheu ny my

posts. Hauser remained on the ground
and the first aid was called.
The Lafayette halfback was temper
arily unfit for play and had to be hhif-
carried to the sidelines. Hobey nose
was out of order to n certain extent, but
II didn't interfere with his playing and
mo one in the stands knew that any
thing had happened to him.
May Operate Later
Light took n dash over to the Uni
yersity Hospital yesterday and he was

pushed slightly to the portside. 1t Is
possible that an operation will be nee

is over. However, the injury VIII no'
