 Several injuries resulted from the first kams between the National Gu1ds and tho American Legion teah,s at the state armory last Sat urday night but none of them is serious enough to keep the players who wore hurt out of the lineups in the second game. The players who received the worst blow during the game was Jack Pelletier, guard on tho Legion i've, Jack caught an elbow in his right eye and he had as nice a 'shiner" as anyone could wish to see.
