PLAYER HURT IN
TACKLING MATTERN
EXPECTED TO DIE

\ WILMINGTON, Del, Feb. 25.-Bob
Lay6eld, quarterback on the 1914
Johns Hopkins eleven, who sustained
a fractured vertebra in football
game with Lehigh at South Bethle-
hem, Oct. 81, is dying. His physician
announced last night he could not
live more than "a hours.
The accident that resulted so seri-
ously for Layfield involves a Mime
apolis boy. Joe Mattern, former Min
~esota halfback, was playing for L.
high, and on one of the first plays in
the game got away for clear field
with only Lay6eld between the runner
and the goal. Layfield made flying
tackle on Mattern and the two men
went down in a heap, Layfeld being
badly crumpled up.
