DEGIVE HAS TONGUE NEARLY SEVERED IN PRACTICE GAME

Captain Paul deB deGive '34, of the Varsity hockey sextet, was literally struck dumb by the force of a shot in a practice session on Tuesday, and is now convalescing from severe lacerations. The speeding puck caught deGive with his tongue drooping out of his month and succeeded in nearly severing it. Several stitches were needed to restore deGive's tongue to its former glory, but it is expected that he will still be able to pep up the team with chatter in the games. The only difficulty is in swallowing, and he has been put on an egg-nogg diet. Fears that the injury would hamper his speech were unfounded.
