Relatives here of Clarence (Peanut) Ridenhour, star quarterback on Concord’s High School football team, declared today that his condition is improving now. Ridenhour was injured Friday while playing against the Charlotte High School team. The Charlotte Observer today says:
Clarence Ridenhour of Concord, brilliant quarterback on the Concord high school football team, who sustained a broken collar bone in the Charlotte-Concord game last Friday afternoon, is reported to be getting along very nicely.
Ridenhour was hurt in the last rush of the second quarter of the contest and was immediately carried to the Charlotte sanatorium where he was given close attention, for it was feared for a while that he was hurt internally.
Young Ridenhour has a number of friends in Concord and Charlotte, and his team-mates and others have been making him regular visits since the time of his misfortune. The doctors found it necessary for him to remain in the sanatorium for sometime on account of his condition, but it is hoped that he will soon be able to return to his home in Concord.
In all probability Ridenhour will be unable to participate in any further contests this year, but the good will of the entire school is for him, and will look forward with high hopes to seeing him appear with the Concord eleven next fall.
