Football Kills Lumberton Boy
Levi Bass, A.& M. Boy, Dies From Injuries Received in Birmingham Game
Special to The News
New Orleans, La., Dec. 18 ? Levi Gaston Bass, aged twenty-three years, thy youngest son of I.E. Bass of Lumberton, Miss., passed away at the Presbyterian hospital, in Carondelet street, last night. Meningitis, believed to have had its origin in injuries received by Mr. Bass while playing left end on the football team of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Starkville, Miss., in a game at Birmingham, Oct. 29, was the immediate cuase of death.
Mr. Bass, who was a brother of Drs. C.C. Bass and Elizabeth Bass, both of this city, was brought here for treatment, four weeks ago, being taken to the Presbyterian Hospital. There he had all the attention and care that a devoted brother and sisters could give. All the resources of medical science were exhausted in an effort to save the life of the young man, even the Rockefeller Instituate being called upon in the hope that it might be able to furnish a serum that would arrest the ravages of the desease. Mr. Bass never recovered consciousness, however.
Mr. Bass was a member of the senior class of the Agricultural and Mechnical College of Starkville, and would have graduated this year. He was devoted to athletics, and had distinguished himself as a football player. In the game at Birmingham, where he was injuried, he was knocked out three times, but went back into the game the fourth time. The disease did not develop until several days after the game in which he was injured.
Besides his father and mother, living at Lumberton, Mr. Bass leaves three brothers, Dr. C.C. Bass of this city, Lieuth. I. E. Bass, U.S.A., and I. H. Bass of Lumberton, and four sisters, Dr. Elizabeth Bass of this city, Dr. Cora M. Bass Pigford of Lumberton, Mrs. A.S. Applewhite of Jackson, and Miss Wreathe Bass of Lumberton.
