TNEW” YORK, ™ April 9.—Golf clubs and balls have heen among the most salable SpOrting goods for the last months owing to the unusually mild March, and attendants at the Van Courtlandt park links and elub- house have had to step lively to got things in shape for the ususually early turnout of golfers, inoluding some of the best all around women players in this part of the country.

Directly after his elec~ tion storles arose from varlous sources that the Tiger leader played foot ball with & broken neck and used a speclal harness In order to keep his head in position onm his shoulders. The foundation for the re- port came from the tale of an accident which Hart sustained in prep. school. He dived head first into the goal posts during an Andover game and crumpled up his neck. The Injury was a serious one. When the story In its final version reached the athletio officers of Princeton university they refused to permit Hart ta( continue foot ball and represent the Orange and Black while hiding split vertebrae in & speclally constructed foot ball helmet. Hart declared that reports of his broken neck were greatly exaggerat and the faculty requested him to submit to & physe lcal examination. A second set of stories immediately appeared, stating that Hart had been examined and was in a precarious condition as far as his neck was concerned, The most recent examination was made on March 11 and Prof. McLenahan, chsirman of the faculty committee on outdoor sporta, made the physiclans’ report public the other night. The committee of three physicians ine cluded a Yale and a Harvard alumnus It was composed of Dr. V. P. Gibney, Dr, C. | L+ Gibson and Dr. Jobn A, Hartwell. They made a number of X-ray examinatfons and came to the unanimous conclusion that Hart had never fractured any of the ver- tebrae and that there was no reason why he should have a head mask or protection Of any kind unless it be a high collar of leather or some soft material to prevent strain. Their report was read as followss “Flrst—The original injury in no way affected the bony or ligamentous struc- tures of the spine.
