Norwich Back May Lose Life
as Result of Holy Cross Game

WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. 25.-
The first serious football accident in
the East this season may cost the
life of Vernon Belyea, who played
left halfback for the Norwich Uni
versity eleven yesterday in the game
with Holy Cross, which Holy Cross
won, $50.
Belyea suffered a fracture of the
spine. At st. Vincent's Hospital it
was said last night that his condition
was very serious. The young mans
home is in Cranfield, Mass.
The extent of the injury was not
know for several hours after the
play in which he sustained 1t. Belyea,
running back a Holy Cross punt, was
tackled and fell. When it was seen
that he was injured he was removed
from the field, but his hurt was
thought to be slight and he was not
taken to the hospital until some time
later. Then examination by physicians
revealed a fracture of the sixth ver-
tebrae.
