came tangled during a squirt arouuc
the dangerous 26tn turn and men anC
machines were sent flying down tn'
steep sides OF the board track.
Luckily. only one Of them, Gougolti
Of the Italian team, was hurt. He i'm
mediately resumed the race withOu
giving physicians time to examine his
injuries, but before ne had ridden i've
minutes the other riders saw that hC
was losing mis- strength.

before he tainted on his wheel anC
rolled TO the bottom Of the saucer

II was then found that he had 4
broken rib. His partner, VanOni i'm

many weeks to predictions of IegiSla

The matters to be urged on the atten-
