when he developed shin splints a week ago coach kanaly was suddenly summoned to a death bed in maine and since then the squad has been dilegently training though without his advice and assistance the strain became too great for laudig whose physical structure is not that of a long-distance runner and on top of all this chickering the first brown and white run ner to finish against princeton left
