Greisbach Visits COTC Sat.
Inspector-General
To Make Informa l
Inspection of Unit
"Who is Jabez?" every membe r
of the Publications Board runs in to that question, and most of the m
can only give a brief answer, H e
Is known to few,—a natural shyness is the main reason .
• EXPECTED on the campus for an informal inspection of
the C.O.T.C. and Basic Training units is Major-Genera l
W. A. Greisbach, inspector-general, Western Commar}d .
After a short visit of inspection of a special platoon
on Wednesday afternoon, the inspector-general decided t o
return this Saturday to observe the whole corps in training .
WHO IS JOBEZ ?
Last fall the University of Alberta "Gateway" began to prin t
"The Mummery" . At Christma s
we had occasion to visit the Edmonton campus and as soon as
U. of A . etudes found we were
from the Ubyssey they wanted to
know "Who is Jabez? I think he' s
wonderful" .
The influence of Jabez has bee n
felt throughout our university .
Working on the copy desk of th e
Ubyssey editors are consistently
reminded of this when almost
every reporter adopts a fascimile
of the Jabez style for feature .
stories. The percentage of iWteracy among sciencemen has dropped
alarmingly as these worthies hav e
determined to learn to read, so
that they won't have to wait for
an Artsman to read the column
to them . C .O .T .C . parades are filled with the humor borrowed from
the column ,
Major-General Griesback C .B . ,
C .M .G ., D.S .O., a member of th e
Canadian Senate, has a brillian t
war record . Senator Griesbac k
went overseas in the last war as
a Colonel of the 49th Edmonto n
Regiment .
Especially interested in junio r
leadership and the place of th e
Major-General
young officer,
Griesback has displayed great interest in officer training unit s
such as the C .O.T.C .
Major-General Griesback ex pressed himself as very please d
with last Wednesday's demonstration and is returning this Saturda y
to watch the entire corps in action ,
The inspector-general will probebly walls about the campus and
look on informally as the men go
through their regular training .
It is believed that he desires to
see just how the training is con ducted .
Anticipation for the inspector general's visit is running hig h
among the men of theC .O .T.C . an d
the Hay and Montador Shoe Shining Co . is expected to do a roaring
business.
JABEZ THE BOY
Now after Monday's success more
than ever the question is "Who Is
Jabez?"
Eric Patric (Begorra) Nicol, was
born in Kingston, Ontario, (Queens
Journal please copy) one year be fore his first birthday . At the age
of six months he had shown little
sign of amounting to anything, al though old friends recall that he
had the most expressive way o f
saying "goo" as he threw rocks
at his grandmother .
Some years after this he cam e
to the Pacific coast . There is n o
truth to the rumor that the warden of the Kingston penitentiar y
has been trying to get him bac k
ever since . At Lord Byng Hig h
School here he managed to wi n
the ping pong championship . Lor d
Byng, incidentally, is the alm a
mammy of Lionel Salt .
COLLITCH DAZ E
After hearing some of those
stories about Paris, Eric decide d
to come to U.B .C . and study honor s
French . While drifting about th e
campus one day in his sophomor e
year, his innocence lead him t o
wander into t h e Publication s
Board. He started to write a column which he called 'Chang Suey' ,
this appealed to the campus an d
editors have been ogering prayer s
of thanks ever since.
Last year he switched to th e
"Mummery" and the Jabezian er a
of literature began at Varsity . Our
hero graduated in the spring, but ,
always a sucker for punishment ,
he returned to take graduate work .
Modesty Is his long suit. He i s
always the silent partner in an y
group and he rarely appears i n
any of the social centers such a s
the caf . In conversation he displays the wit which characterize s
his column.
PHONE NUMBER
For the benefit of the ladies w e
might add that little is known of
his private life. Agents from
"Slush", "Gush" and "Mush" magazines have failed to uncover any thing regarding secret loves . He
stands about 5 ft ., 9 in ., has wavy ,
black hair, a ready smile an d
pleasant green eyes . He is No . 21 0
in the stacks and his phone number is in the directory .
The name Jabez comes from th e
Hebrew and means "He will cause
pain " .
He gives the members of th e
Player's Club the credit for th e
success of "Her Scienceman Lover" . Those who saw it will agree
with him that the varsity thespian s
turned in a dandy performance .
PUBSTERS : There will be a
meeting in the Pub for all person s
on the masthead, 12 :30, Monday .
NOTICE : Will anyone possessin g
a record of "We're Going to Han g
Out The Washing On The Siegfried Lure" please bring it to th e
Pub, where they will be ampl y
rewarded .

Frosh Object To Fina l
Objecting mainly to the over emphasis laid on finals in evaluating the year' s work of a studen ,
their remarks frequently advocated more extensive use of smal l
exams throughout the year .
Typical of the general trend of
opinion was the reply of Thelma
Coffman : "The final exam shoul d
not be so decisive in determinin g
your year's grade. Many peopl e
get vepy nervous when confronted
with a big exam . 1 think daily
class work alone should count
about half on final mark" .
Marjorie Pinton was opposed t o
any form of large examination .
"I don't think there should be an y
exams, Our year's marks shoul d
be based on class assignments an d
small tests" .

Reifel's Rhythm Tops I n
Town ; Band Really "Feels "
•
VARSITY STUDENTS may not know it, but they hav e
in their midst one of the best orchestras in Vancouve r
dancing circles .
This, at least, became my contention after "catching "
the band at the I .S .S . Mixer. Never have I seen a band
playing with so much fire, and obvious enjoyment as the
men of George Reifel displayed that night ,
Naturally the band has its faults,
butt when it is considered that they
are students first, and musician s
after, these faults become insignificant .
Greatest achievement of the out fit is that they "feel" together, ar e
in obvious sympathy with eac h
other, and, at times, exhibit thrilling ideas that would do credit to
the best of jazz bands .
At their best when "swinging" ,
the band is weak on the sweete r
arrangements, lacking a stron g
tenor sax, and being too prone t o
riff through every piece . However ,
under the capable leadership of
George Reifel, they, sensibly
enough, stay within their own
sphere, and never force thei r

Concerning Camp
Almost all students are agreed that the
offer of the government to grant leave fro m
army camp to men, providing they will b e
engaged in a war industry this summer, i s
an excellent one and they appreciate it very
much . It will mean that those men intending to come back to university next year
will have half a month longer to earn th e
necessary finances .
However, although the plan suits mos t
students to perfection, there is one large
group on the campus who fail to see much
advantage in it. This group comprises th e
thrid and fourth year sciencemen, thos e
embryo engineers who always have to at tend surxey school or machine shop for tw o
weeks after the regular term ends .
Last year these students fitted both this
course and army camp into the month o f
May by taking the science practical during
the first two weeks and going to camp the
last two . But because there is only going to
be one camp this year, during the first tw o
weeks of May, the survey and machine sho p
schools have been scheduled for the latte r
part of the month so the engineers may at tend after army camp . Thus, an excuse fro m
camp to work would be of little use to a
scienceman who had to wait around till th e
end of May to finish his course out here.
Would it not be possible for the militar y
authorities to stretch a point and grant thes e
men leave from camp, on the strength o f
their proofs that they will be working i n
war industries, so that they may take surve y
and machine schools the first two weeks in
May? If they could do this, the sciencemen
would be able to complete their years and
be ready to work the middle of May, thu s
saving two weeks, the same as all the othe r
students who will benefit from the plan .
Theoretically, these men could be obtainin g
leave from an army camp to be held the las t
two weeks of the month . If everybody got
leave from, it, then there would not have t o
be any camp .

Your War Aid Council
Last November Students' Council, acting on a suggestion of the Ubyssey, create d
a body called the War Aid Council whose
duty was "To revitalize and co-ordinate
U.B.C .'s war effort," Membership in thi s
council was fixed at twenty-four, some appointed directly by Students' Council, an d
some appointed by the various organization s
who were given representation by that
august body.
Since its inauguration, the War Ai d
Council, led most ably by president Doroth y
Hird, has done commendable work . The
Mile of Pennies Drive, I .S.S. Week, and the
current Victory Bond Campaign are pro ducts of its energetic efforts for direct mone y
contributions . The scheme for organizing
category "E" men as A .R.P. wardens is an
example of its accomplishments in othe r
directions.
Nevertheless, as the weeks have passe d
it has become increasingly apparent that th e
brunt of its activities are being carried by
only a few vitalty interested students . The
other members of the Council seem to have
dropped by the wayside ; the average attendance at the weekly meetings is ten in stead of twenty-four.
Considering that this is the first year
such a body has been organized, there ar e
bound to be faults in its construction and
functioning . Criticism from various source s
has claimed it is not truly representative o f
student opinion (always a lovely looking
argument to be levelled at any group on e
does not agree with. )
Next Thursday noon the War Aid Council will hold its last meeting of the term,
which ALL members are required to attend.
At this meeting suggestions for next year
'will be received and discussed . This will be
the time for any' criticisms to be aired . The
War Aid Council knows it isn 't perfect; i t
will welcome suggestions for improvement .

RIVALS, the Players' Club recently unleashed HER SCIENCEMAN LOVER, a
ruptured masterpiece of mine which ran fo r
six weeks in and around Cloverdale befor e
its pursuers finally trapped it, panting in a
nearby field .
Last Monday noon, after spending a
pleasant hour tagging around after littl e
men, watching them put up signs with m y
name on them, I decided to float into th e
Theatre and find a seat from which I coul d
easily and quickly reach the stage whe n
they unexpectedly begged me to come u p
and take a bow .
Whistling snatches of "I'll See You
Again ", I sauntered up to the door, m y
right hand poised in my coat pocket, wit h
the thumb hanging outside in an insouciant
manner, and my eye-lids drooping artistically, to create a general Noel Coward effect .
Unfortunately, as I had also been rehearsin g
a keen, steely look, in case el joined the
Air Force, I ended up with a sort of crosseyed squint, like an ostrich with a bee on its
beak.
In any case, I did not succeed in strolling past the man at the door . On the contrary, he seized my arm and snapped, i n
what I thought was a rather brusque way :
"Put a dime in the bottle, buddy! "
"They all go in for nothing," he chuckled, " but they have to pay a dime to see it . "
"I shall inform Johnny Carson!" I shouted, tearing fluff from my coat pocket .
"I am Johnny Carson," he smiled benignly from about a foot over my head .
"What do you want to inform me of? "
I swallowed hard .
"Did you know U .S. Steel was up thre e
points?" I asked weakly, dropping a dime in
the bottle .
Reassembling my dignity, I stampe d
down ,the aisle, delighted to note all th e
people with their heads turned in my direction, smiling, nodding, and waving thei r
hands.
For some obscure reason they stoppe d
this when the pretty, little blond who wa s
walking just in front of me stepped into a
row and sat down . The -light must have gon e
bad, I guess .
I found a seat, and was soon listenin g
impatiently to Mr . Reifel's orchestra . It became evident that this group was good t o
the point of being impertinent . A bunch of
mesmerized musicians threatening to overshadow my play completely . I tried glowering of the people sitting around, but the y
persisted in applauding in a disgusting display of approval .
I drew myself up, readjusting the carnation in my lapel before I realized I did no t
have one there .
"Sir? " I said stiffly, dusting off my
sleeve . "I am the author of this play . "
When Mr. Reifel finally yielded th e
stage, Mr . Salt, and a few other trusted col leagues with me in the Press Row, rose an d
prepared to leave, grumbling about onl y
hearing three numbers .
"You can take that up with God later, "
snarled this unpleasant individual . "Put a
dime in the bottle, Rockefeller, and sto p
blocking the door . "
" I refuse to pay money to see my ow n
play!" I roared, whereupon ; was consternated to see a number of people shrug thei r
shoulders in that's-good-enough-for-me fashion, and leave the building .
"You can't get your money back now,
you know! " I said hotly, pushing them bac k
down as nonchalantly as possible .
I strode out into the hall, looped around
the quad, and came up on the other door .
This time I added a dash of weasel to th e
Noel Coward routine, and tried slithering
through in the middle of a group of people.
`"Where do you think you ' re going ,
Shadow'?" enquired n voice, supported by
a foot hooked around my legs .
"1 am the author of this play'!" I crie d
unhappily . "I demand to be allowed to g o
in for nothing! "
The play finally ended and, yelling ,
" Author!Author!", I leapt up into the wings ,
where I waited anxiously for someone t o
push me reluctantly onto the stage . Once
out there, staring into a mass of pink faces ,
like so many cantaloupe halves, I forgot m y
carefully practiced bow and rushed off, wild eyed, babbling:
When the skit started, I suddenly foun d
myself prematurely laughing at parts I
thought would be funny, and laughing all
alone . I caught myself breaking into fits o f
applause while the rest of the audience seemed to be lost in deep reveries, ,,,,

March 1, 1942
Editor, The Ubyssey ,
Dear Sir :
An editorial in Friday's lame be moans the lack of Canadian nationalism . But this is not some thing that we should bemoan but
something we should be thankful
for .
Nationalism has been) the greatest menace to civilization in the
last century and a half. It was
French nationalism that produce d
the wars that ruined France in th e
reign of Louts XIV ., and a centur y
later produced the frightful carnage of the Napoleonic conquests.
German nationalism awoke in th e
wars of 1866 to 1870, led Germany
into the ruinous World War I ., and
has driven her again into anothe r
suicidal adventure . Italian nationalism has put Italy into the
paths of aggression . Japanese nationalism has the same effect . An d
it was nationalism, the idea i n
every country that it must no t
surrender one iota of its national
sovereignty to a World Authority ,
that rendered the success of th e
League of Nations, impossible .
Yes, nationalism threatens to des troy our civilization, and unles s
this petty regional spirt can soo n
he transsen,led by an all embracing love of hum,cnity, there is littl e
hope that we will not descend int o
a new Dark Age .
There is a patriotism that i s
worthy. It says : "This is my
country . I will live and die for it ;

Editor, The Ubyssey ,
Dear Sir :
Visitors from other Canadia n
end American campuses have ofte n
remarked on the absence of a glee
club on this campus . It appears
that our institution is almost uni .
que in this respect.
Here, however, we have an organization that makes an additional demand of its members :
that they have acting ability a s
well as vocal prowess : a demand
which unfortunately is very seldom answered, as witnessed b y
most of their productions in th e
past, and above all by the curren t
debacle.
A convenient and proven solution would be the replacement o f
the existing society with a gle e
club. This would achieve tw o
ends : music within the capabilities of the existing talent coul d
be produced ; and numerous students wth vocal talent, but no de sire to act, would be able to tak e
an active interest .
"Don' let them get me! Don't let them
get me! "
That's all I remember .
One great disadvantage the present Society has is that the production of a single opera limits th e
variety of music that can be sung,
and indeed Gilbert and Sulliva n
is not particulaily eppenling t o
many as a musicm slat, Organization of a glee club in oppositio n
three or four yg ees . . ago proved o.
fuilui . Cannot, then, some mov e
I e mill( to reorganize the presen t
society"?

Most surprising to M . L . Van Vliet, proponent o f
physical condition and especially cross country running, wa s
that many runners came up after the race and asked that a
similar competition be run in a few weeks time . Time does
not permit another cross country but next year it will b e
seen that there will be enough cross country runs to take care
of the aspiring Thunderbirds .
At the present moment, besides a few meddle-some
mid-terms, intra-1nuralers are caught in the swing of softball, and once again, from all indications another new hig h
will be struck in this popular tourney .
In this sport over 150 male students have heard "Play
Ball!" and participated in the current double knockout series .
Games are scheduled so that all 12 teams are playing at th e
same field at the same hour, making a sight to behold . In
spite of absence of regular workouts and everything tha t
goes with "fast" baseball, the brand of ball has been exceptionally good .
Then, thrown in between the various tourneys and
championship competition, a highly technical snooker nigh t
went into history at the homes of two of Varsity's busier set ,
Raefel and Carson .
"I ' ve not seen anything like it, since the days of inter collegiate spotrs," remarked Lionel Salt, ex-sports editor o n
the Ubyssey .
And that is about the general run of split second inter views . All comments have been favorable from the "hottest "
of sources . And, believe you me, that is an accomplishmen t
in itself.
Interest has become so prevalent that M . L . Van Vlie t
and the intra-mural committee have planner a Men ' s Smoker
late in March at noon in the gymnasium . More about the
latter point in later editions fthe Ubyssey .
Of course, interest can become so great that it tt~a y
become ridiculous. Picture if you will the Kappa Sigm a
quintet challenging the second-string Varsity basketball tea m
to a basketball game that was played last Wednesday . Ridiculous, you say? No, brother, just good-hearted sportsman ship that has been stirred up by this zealous demand fo r

Scholarship
For Varsity
• SWEEPING CHANGES in the intra-mural program o n
the campus are being paralleled by the Men 's Athletic
Directorate who are discussing plans to reorganize in orde r
to administer more efficiently the entire athletic set-up at
U .B .C.
• SIR NORMAN ANGELL wil l
One main topic of the Directorate's last meeting was the reconstituting of its membership . As i t
now stands, M,A,D ., which is th e
controlling body on all campu s
sports, consists of two faculty representatives, the director of physical education, the president o f
M,A,A., the president of the Bi g
Block club, and one other student
representative .
.
I
NEW MEMBER SUGGESTE D
It Is felt by members of th e
Directorate that too specialized a
representative system has resulte d
in which members of the council
have narrowed, athletic interest.
Propwels, as they stand now, are
that a representative be include d
from the Ubyssey sports staff.
Appointment of a member from
the Ubysey sports department,
one committeeman pointed out ,
would tend. to break down the
specialization of M.A.D. "The Ubyssey sports editor has to kno w
something about every sport o n
the campus, " he said, "and w e
could use his knowledge and ad vice . "
Also under discussion by the
Directorate, in line with the prolimed changes in the intra-mura l
program,• is a comprehensiv e
scheme to provide athletic insurance against injury ,
.
e
THE UBYSSEY
INSURANCE SCHEM E
Over two hundred male students
are participating in this year's program, and the enrolment for nex t
year should at least treble. This
meats that danger of injury is in creased three-fold.
At present, no provision is made
to recompense a University athlete, injured while playing for
U .B.C . The cases of Evann Davies,
who sustained a broken ankl e
playing rugby in Victoria, find of
Art Johnson, who lost a fron t
tooth playing basketball are good
Illutarations of the need for som e
form of athletic Insurance.

MONEY RAISING SCHEMES
The Directorate feels that shoul d
a scheme of insurance be set up ,
with a grant received from Council, money raised by the staging
of benefit games, and a committee
set up to administer benefits to
needy cases, it would, in time,
lead to a comprehensive insuranc e
program for the entire University,
and cover injuries received in laboratory work, and other academi c
pursuits.
With this in mind, then, the

been there for three months, finds
students very easy to deal with
and it is one of the bright spots
in busines to have them come in .
There is much less risk in dealing with students in banking titan .
sactons than with the general public is the conclusion he has com e
to.
Mr . Allan said that professors
are prety nice people to deal with
too, although there are a few exceptions Junior members of the
staff find them to be quite a
trial though, because they neve r
know when the professors are kidding or not.

Three indoor tennis courts, three
volley ball courts, and eight or
ten badminton courts could be
fitted in comfortably . In addition
to these, boxing and wrestlin g
rings can be set up in the building, and a three wall handbal l
court can be constructed .

Sloppy 5 2 Win From
q Vancouver Junior Lion s
GREAT POSSIBILITIES
.
• THE VARSITY Hockey team charged through the de fense of the Vancouver Junior Lions for a 5-2 victory i n
the feature game last Friday night at the Forum, with a
good turn out of University students to root the boys on t o
a win. The game was a disgrace to good hockey, but n o
one seemed to object to it except the one Junior Lions ma n
who had to be carried off the ice "out cold" .
FREE SKATING
After the game, students skated
for an hour and a half, to th e
music, not of the Varsity band,
but to recorded disks by courtes y
of the Forum . The crowd on th e
ice was not too big, and not ttto o
small, for there were no advers e
comments .
Pat Butler of the Lions . Both men
were givers penalties .
In the third period, U .B.C. ran g
up two more net counters, but thi s
was incidental to the nasty accident which occured when Jack
Shilabeer collided with an unidentified Junior Lions man, who was
thought to have sustained a skull
fracture, but who later was foun d
to be suffering from only a minor
head injury .
The game opened slowly, with
the wild playing that was to be
the rule showing up Immediately .
Rushing up and down the ice In
a series of drives that served t o
confuse the spectators only, th e
two teams turned in as ragged a
performance as can be imagined .
But the first period ended with n o
score for either team .
Object of the tennis match, ac cording to the genial Lynn Sully,
is to prepare for the newly farme d
lnetr-Mural set up next fall .
Girls wil not be allowed to enter
in the matches this Spring bu t
next year entries will be throw n
open to all male and female members of the University .
As son as all entries are In thi s
week, then the organizers wil l
draw up a schedule for the pro posed matches . This schedule wil l
he posted up and the games can
get under way .

THE FROSH basketball

game in the fight for th e
Community League Intermediate A Championship
last Thursday night at the
King Ed gym by a close 29 23 call to the Sparling quintet . This loss winds up the
basketball schedule for th e
Frosh for this season.
The Fresh played a great ga m
and came within two points o f

AS PART of the new intra-mural program for next year ,
a small-scale playing field, measuring perhaps 80 by 4 0
yards may be cleared and constructed north of the Gymnasium . "It will probably be merely a dirt field, at least for
the duration of the war," Mr . Van Vliet said last Monday .
There are two main reasons fo r
the smaller sized field, In the
first place it woul cost less, an d
would be easier to construct . In
the second place, it would give enthusiasts who are not really goo d
atheletes a chance to play withou t
the severe hardship involved in
playing on a standard field .
All around the field are to b e
located other sporting apparatu s
and equipment . Spots for high and
broad jump pits, pole vault lay outs, and horseshoe pitches are i n
the mind of the promoter of th e
scheme Mr . Van Vliet, who hope s
to make the field the sportin g
centre for the next year .
RAY GORMAN, Thunderbir d
halfback will lead the Varsity P .W, attack tomorrow at ten,
The way this is to be done is
simple . Post holes, with metal fla p
coverings, will be drilled in th e
armouries floor wherever they ar e
required . Removeable,' correct
height posts will be quickly
brought out and set up, Tehn the
nets required will be lowered fro m
the ceiling by a system of pulleys .
The whole thing should take onl y
four or five minutes at the most ,
and even less time will be necessary to put the apparatus away.
Such a training and athleti c
centre is badly needed, with, th e
gymnasium being In continuous
use by the military gym classes .
This proposed scheme will solve
the whole problem of an indoor
iritra-mural playing and trainin g
field.
Gym
Touch rugby, soccer, spcedhall ,
and many other grid games can b e
played on the field, It can be th e
scene of all the intra-mura l

THE VARSITY soccer squad ended the season on a sad
note Wednesday as they dropped a hard fought 1-0 battl e
to a Woodward team in the last game of the year in the
Wednesday afternoon City soccer league .

The game and hart fighting Varsity men fought back but failed t o
score. With but five minutes to go
until the final whistle, they staged a determined rush on the winners' net . But no tally resulted ,
This was the last game of th e
year for the Thunderbird soccer
team.
FACILITIE S
Three indoor tennis courts, three
volley ball courts, and eight or
ten badminton courts could be
fitted In comfortably, In additio n
to these, boxing and wrestlin g
rings can be sot up In the building, and a three wall handball
court can be constructed.
The armories is an ideal spot fo r
this developement . This year, the
ping peng tourney was run off in
one evening In the building, showing just how fast and easy it woul d
be to complete other such matches .
The building is centrally located ,

Sloppy 5 .2 Win From,
Vancouver Junior Lion s
• THE VARSITY Hockey team charged through the de fense of the Vancouver Junior Lions for a 5 .2 victory i n
the feature game last Friday night at the Forum, with a
good turn out of University students to root the boys on t o
a win, The game was a disgrace to good hockey, but n o
one seemed to object to it except the one Junior Lions man
who had to be carried off the ice "out cold " .
FREE SKATING
After the game, students skate d
for an hour and a half, to th e
music, not of the Varsity band ,
but to recorded disks by courtes y
of the Forum . The crowd on th e
ice was not too big, and not \to o
small, for there were no adverse
comments.
The game opened slowly, with
the wild playing that was to be
the rule showing up immediately.
Rushing up and down the foe I n
a series of drives that served t o
confuse the spectators only, th e
two teams turned in as ragged a
performance as can be imagined.
But the first period ended with n o
score for either team .
.The second session saw the Lions
take a slight lead of two goal s
over Varsity in the first five minutes . But Varsity recovered an d
drove down the ice again and again to ring up three goals In th e
remaining time . High light of this
period was the fight that occured
between Billy Husband, secon d
star of the cross country race, and
Pat Butler of the Lions. Both men
were given penalties.
In the third period, U.B .C . ran g
up two more net counters, but thi s
was incidental to the nasty accident which occured when Jac k
Shilabeer collided with an unidentified Junior Lions man, who was
thought to have sustained a skul
l
fracture, but who p later was found
to be suffering from only a minor
head injury .
