It is believed that his jaw is frac tured. lie is also injured about the back and ■shoulders, llnrrv Davhoff, the plucky little quarterback, who Is one of the team's best scorers, has a" badly wrenched hip and a bad shoul der. Captain Gardner is also suffering from a painfully sprained and bruised left hip. There Is already muchi talk about next year's captaincy among students and players.
