Dixon line as result of action by the
University Of Virginia and the naval
academy To communication by Maj
or Fred w Morse, graduate manager
Of athletes at Harvard, saying that the
Crimson team included two athletes Of
negro blood. both institutions replied
that they considered il best under the
circumstances that track meets sched-
uled with Harvard in April should not
be held
The cancellation has been made by
Harvard, Major Moore said to-day, add
ing that he took the initiative in the
matter. When the dates were arranged
the fact that Harvard's negro members
might not be welcome was not consid.
cred, but subsequently both Virginia
and Annapolis were told that the Grim
son team included negroes and that
unless Harvard would be welcomed
with them it could not come without
them.
Both the naval academy and Vir-
ginia replied that there were so many
southerners on their teams that the
game might proved embarrassing not
only for them but also for the negro
members Of the Harvard squad Ac-
cordingly the southern trip has been
cancelled said Major Moore
The track team will have a sprfhg
trip, howeverg Major More said that
Pennsylvania state college had invited
the Crimson to a dual meet there and
that one or two colleges north Of the

BOY SLID UNDER AUTO
AND VAS BADLY HURT
Maurice Keough, 10, of Graniteville
Was So Badly Injured About
the Head He May
Not Live.

lowering between life and death, and
still unconscious, lies little Maurice
Keough of upper Graniteville, the 10
year-o son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry
keough, at the Barre City hospital.
The little lad was all but killed Satur-
day afternoon about o'clock, when he
and his fleeting sled crashed into the
standing automobile of Fred Letour-
neau ON the Graniteville road.
The car was stalled by Mr.. Letour
neau at the extreme right of the road
Just above the Boutwell, station in
Graniteville, when three little lads
came dashing down the hill on sleds He
turned his car, new Studebaker, TO
the extreme right of the road, fearing
that some one of them would become
bewildered and run into him. The first
three steered by safely but little Ke-
ough evidently lost control of his sled
when it started down the steep pitch
near this point and when he flew un-
der the car, his head struck grease
cup and broke it off completely
His skull was punctured on the right
side and a piece of bone as large as a
quarter destroyed some brain tissue,
deep cuts ran the length of his face on
the left side, all the teeth on the low
er left side of his jaw, except dhe, were
knocked out; his lower jaw was frac-
tured, and his left thigh was broken.
The lad went under the car at terrific
speed and, when Mr. Letourneau and
Miss Beatrice Duquette, his cousin, rid
ing with him, endeayored to get the
lad out he had to be taken out between
the front and rear wheels Mr.. Letour
neau rushed him to the home of DR.. f.
II. Bailey, nearby, in his car, and the
doctor, after administering first aid, |
brought the boy in the same car to |
the Barre City hospital and there per
formed the operation required TO re-
move the skull bone from the brain,
as well as other operations.
No blame is attached to Mr.. Letour- |
neau, driver of the car, who resides in
upper Granteville and who is employed I
on the quarries as an engineer
