P, M. Motte Injured in Football '
Uome at Athens. Gl?
Athens, Qa., Oct. 16. - -Buffering j
from S blow on the head received '
in a footi-all game between the
scrubs and reaarvei yesterday, F. M.
Moise, <?f South Carolina, a student
at the University of Georgia, is in
local hospital in a serious, condition.
Moise was rendered unconscious by
the blow and had not regained con?
sciousness late today. Physiclam
state they are unable to determine
the extent of his injury.
Upon Inquiry in the city today it
S/aS learned from relatives of Mr.
Francis? Moise, the student hurt
while playing football Saturday at
the Cniversity of Qeorgla, that the
SCC?Unt sent out by the Associated
Press despatch had exaggerated the
injuries received by Mr. Moise. While
he was injured, it was not seriously.
Today he was removed from Athens
to Atlanta, where his mother, Mrs.
Marion Moise, is now living.
The news of the Injuries to Mr.
Moise was quite a shock to his many
friends and relatives here, most of J
whom knew nothing of his having j
received the injuries until they saw
the account in the morning papers. [
