(Stillwater-AP) -- Stillwater Police are investigating another brawl involving Oklahoma State students.

Police Chief Norman McNickle says one student was injured and suffered a severe cut to the head, a concussion and a collapsed lung. The victim has been identified only as an OSU reserve linebacker.

McNickle says the fight broke out at Stillwater's YMCA Saturdayb night at an event sponsored by an OSU sorority. The police chief says the brawl involved a rivalry between OSU and Langston University.

McNickle says he wants to meet with university officials today to see how such fights can be prevented. He says it could have easily turned tragic and that it's only a matter of luck that only one person was injured.

The incident is at least the fourth brawl this semester involving OSU athletes.
