he had recovered. While at school
the forepart of January, he was taken
violently ill, and was again brought
to the hospital. An operation was.
performed, the ball being removed
from his back, about ten inches from
where it entered his body.
As the boys condition was not sat

formed January &c, lot OF pus be-
ing removed from the kidney region.
1t is now ten weeks since young
Conrad entered the hospital. He was

D;llabaugh Goes Home

Charles Diliabaugh. who was dan
gerously injured several weeks ago
while working for the Spells Grain
company at Venaneo, since when he
had been here recovering, left for
his home Saturday.
A big load of wheat was being un-
loaded. The team became frightened
and started to run. Dillabaugh was
thrown down In front of front
wheel. and all that kept him from
being run over was his holding onto
the lines. While he was dragged
only few feet. the wheel broke sew
raj ribs and loosening them from the
spinal column. He was brought to
the hospital here. While his recov-
cry was considered doubtful, he soon
began to improve. After few days
he was removed to the home OF a
sister. When leaving for home he
seemed to be in about as good con-
dition as before the accident.

YALE FACES HARVARD
in BIG CLASSIC TODAY
(By United Pres3)


+ New London, Conn, June 23.-
TAINTED to the point Of desperation,
another Yale crew, counting on do
ing the impossible, went out to beat
Harvard in their annual classic on
the Thames River today. -.
Remembering last year, when a
Yale crew branded as "gutless" by
a deposed coach, went out, nearly
killed itself in victory over Har-
ward, merely on that quality which
its teacher, said it lacked, Yale faced
a task just as hard with fervent hope.
The Yale-Harvard race is always a
classic. The mere fact that. two var
sity Fights are to fight each other
over a terrible four-mile distance of
hard going is but Incidental to the
trimming and color furnished by the
gathering clans of both sides.
New London was in carnival
clothes. The town was a mass of the
blue of Yale and the crimson of Har-
ward. The streets we're choked with
automobiles, the hotels were crowd
ed with visitors, the trains were pack
ed and the river was swelled with the
fleet of the nation's-great almuni
of Yale and Harvard
