Ives, Face Para1Hzed

Mort Ives. of Detroit, star baseball and
football player of Trinity, was unable to
return to college for the opening of the
term, and it is uncertain at present how
long it will be before the popular ath-
lete is able to get back. Ives is suf-
fering from paralysis of the face, and the
attack has been growing worse daily
since he went home for the vacation, it
is stated.
In the Trinity-Wesleyan football game
last November Ives was kicked on the
head while playing without headguard,
and for time continued to play abso-
lutely stunned. He complained of severe
headaches following the game, and they
continued until he went home, when the
paralysis first became noticeable in an
inability to close his right eye. The
paralysis exptended to the left side of his
face. and now the muscles of that side
are said to be completely paralyzed
Ives is being treated by one of the best
specialists of Detroit. and 1t is hoped that
a complete cure may be effected, but the
real seriousness of the case has not been
determined.
