Rumol-s UnfOunded
Regarding Injury
To 3. C.. Leader

A rumor about town yesterday that
had rather persistent currency to the
effect that Tommy OBrien. captain
elect of the Boston College Eagles
for 1927, had broken his wrist, failed
to be authenticated when Tommy's
parents who reside on High street in
this city were questioned on the mat
ter.
Mrs. O'Brien said It was probably
the result of exaggeration on the
part of some one who had heard of
his spraining his wrist. For Tommy
did write home that he hae fallen on
the ice and sprained the ligaments of
his hand rather badly, but no bones
were broken.
Tommy has many admirers in this
city who will be relieved to know
that he has suffered no serious in
jury.
