FINKE RECEIVES WRIST INJURY Jim Finke, the centcrfielder of th e Flyer baseball squad and a member of th e senior class, suffered the on ly ma jor injury that has as yet ma rred the spring sports program. Finke, who has been doing some fin e fi elding a nd is one of the leading Flyer batsmen, couldn't get out of the way of a fast ball thrown by Townsley, th e Cedarvi lle pitcher in a recent game. H e caught the pitch on his a rm, a nd as he jogged down to fir t base rubbing his a rm, everything seemed to be a ll right. Later his arm was X-rayed and taped, and Jim went hi way believing tha t the injury was nothing more th an a bruise. The next day, wh en the X-rays were exa mined, a frantic earch was sta rted to find the man with the " brui ed a rm ." Wh a t was wrong? That bruise, in th e X-ray pictures, had proved to be three broken bon e in his wrist.
