The defenders half heartedly gave chase, but with no real chance of preventing the score. Pritchard fail cd to put the ball between the up- rights for the extra point.
 With less than five minutes to al k ata faA 1ts4 ..f af@ own. which might possibly have re- suited in a touchdown. In about mid field Havelas threw q short pass to Crosby. which the latter received. Before he could take a step, however, he was downed by Tom Cody, Putnam halfhaek. who had been on the look out for these short passes. As the killingly youth fell his right leg slip ped frem beneath him and the leg was twisted under his body.
 Taken to Hospital
 Two physicians put the broken member in splints and helped put Crosby into Il comfortable sedan which brought him to the Day Kim ball hospital here. X-ray pictures taken at the hospital showed that both bones of the right leg were broken below the knee. 4 collection taken on the field before the game was re- sumed netted sixty-two dollars which will go toward paying his hospital ex- penses. Crosby is sixteen years Of age and a senior at killlngiy.
 With Allen taking the place of the injured man killingly took up the drive with renewed power. but the time remaining was too short to allow a touchdown to be scored.
