Dr. Nichols' Statement About Hurley

Dr. Nichols yesterday noon gave out the statement below in regard to Captain Hurley's injury, and last night reported that there had been no change in his condition. At present it is not known whether or not an operation will be necessary, but Hurley will be kept in the hospital for some time.

"Captain Hurley is suffering from a serious injury to the surface of the brain which will prevent his entering the game on Saturday. The injury is the result of a blow on the head, received in the Dartmouth game last Saturday, which at the time carried no symptoms. Later symptoms evolved, which showed brain injury. This late development of symptoms is common in injuries to the head. Hurley's conditions, although serious, is not at present critical. He has been seen by Dr. W. M. Bullard in consultation at the City Hospital, and at present is very comfortable."
