f Murphy was one of the mosa popular students at the school and considered the probable captain of the football team for 1882. He was carried out of the BucknelI game in the second period of what sports writers termed one of the hardest fought contests of the sea- son. Bucknell won IA to 13.
 Murphy's injury was diagnosed at first as a possible fractured skull, then as concussion of the brain. He was confined to Ford ham hospital, apparently improved rapidly, and was discharged as re- covered on November 25. He walked out of the hospital with- out aid and to waiting automo- bile. At Fordham, however, he was placed in the infirmary to "rest up."
 Undecided?
 The cause of death was not made known pending g. conference 0f university officials and Dr Gerald Carroll, school physician. The Bucknell game which brought together two hitherto un- defeated teams resulted in injuries to five Fordham players. John Szymanski of New Britain, Conn. received a partial dislocation of the spine and for a time was consider ed in critical condition. Paul Howell suffered possible concus- sion of the brain, Frank McDer- mott received an injured ankle and Captain Jim Murphy was knocked unconscious.
 Szymanski, who substituted for Cornelius Murphy, is still in Ford ham hospital where his condition was described to-day as Good"
 How It Happened
 Murphy was injured in a scuffle for ball that was rolling out side. Several players dived for the ball at the same time. It was re- called that Murphy was injured frequently during the season. He was carried out in the game against West Liberty Teachers and on other occasions was forced to take "time out" to recuperate from hurts.
 Jack Coffey, graduate manager of athletics said:
 "Murphy's death was sudden and unexpected We don't know the exact cause. He was under the care of Dr Gerald Carroll. His condition up to last night was very good. He was admitted to the in- firmary immediately after leaving Fordham hospital. He did not leave the infirmary and took part in no classroom or athletic activi- ties. We are waiting for a con- ference with Dr Carroll"
