Which Will K e e d
Him Out of Track

LNRED KELLY, Olympic worlds and
Il American high hurdiing champion and
record holder, and one Of the greatest ALL
round athletes OF the present day, has
more than likely run his last race.
Kelly sustained what he thought was a
fracture OF the leg while playing footbf II
with Los Angeles Cal, team about six
weeks ago. The hurdler did not realize
that the bone was broken and walked
around on the injured member for four
DAYS. Thinking tt was a simple slit he
expected the wound to heal in week
but now he learns that the leg was
broken and has knitted improperly be-
cause of the pressure he put on 1t, and
that it must be broken again
Physicians have informed Kelly that II
will be impossible for him to retain
championship form as his leg now is, and
have advised him that 1t would not be
good sense to participate I'm hurdle races
after the leg has been rebroken and set
properly.
This will remove not only from Pacific
coast athletes a great performer, but
from national competition as we'll Be

eVen-time sprinter, good for % feet in the
broad jump, feet 10 inches in the high
jump and could swing a quartermile In
better than 80 seconds.
No hurdler ever went over the sticks
with better form than Kelly. He won
the hurdles in the PENNSYLVANIA relay
games twice, and Philadelphians will re-
member the ease in which he won the
events

Intercollegiate Committee
Puts Opening Wedge in
by Cut of Time
OTHER FIELD NEWS

For some reason the intercollegiate Soc
GER Association appears to think that the
rules of soccer are not good enough for
1t. At a meeting recently held 1t was
decided to cut down the halves In inter-
collegiate games from 50 to 35 minutes.
What object the association had In view
Il is extremely difficult to understand.
Surely It cannot be that the players do
not possess sufficient stamina to play the
time prescribed by the rules No doubt
the change Is a minor one, but 1t is the
thin end Of the wedge and, combined with
the rule permitting substitutes, II Is TO
be deplorcd. 1t is quite within tho bounds
of possibility that the intercollegiate As
ISOLATION may make such other rules that
will alter the character of the game. II
1t does it will have a game all its own,
for It Is certain that no other association
will follow suit. The rules are good
enough as they arc and no amount OF
dickering can improve them.
The Industrial League got off to a fine
