ministrations of the trainer, and was carried off. He did not re- cover full consciousness until the: middle of the second half.

Arsenal Mr. Chapman, the manager, said after the game that no bones were broken, but that it would not be possible. for a day or two to assess fully the damage to tendons and nerves behind the knee. The accident robbed the game of much of its interest; the crowd gave evid- ence of their disappointment by a curious hush for a few minutes after the mishap occurred. They had come to see Arsenal, the Cup finalista, perhaps the champions, too; instead, they saw only ten men fighting desperately to avoid defeat. For a long time it looked as if the vigorous methods of the home team would finally disrupt an already unsettled side. But Arsenal recovered," thanks to the unvarying soundness of their defence and were able to force a draw."--
