The consultant returned to Iowa City after being employed by the hoard here, hut will return soon to discuss the all-important pur­ chase of hospital equipment. A contract will be signed then, it was reported. Dr. Ellis said that Dr. Fred G. Carter, superintendent of St. Luke’s hospital in Cleveland, who conducted the original hospital needs survey here more than a year ago, had notified the building commission that he would be un­ able to serve in a consultant ca­ pacity in the purchase of equip­ ment.

Two Cedarville college athletes, one a starting end on the Yellow Jacket football team, were injur­ ed, Saturday night, when a hit- skip motorist struck them as they stood at the edge of the roadway on Columbus street, near Lexing­ ton avenue., about 1,000 feet in­ side the Xenia corporation. Police said both Ernie Stanley, of Portsmouth, a sophomore end and varsity footballer, and Don Barger, of Hamilton, a senior, who starred on the Jacket basket­ ball team, were injured. They suffered leg hurts which were treated at McClellan hospital. The youths, with four* others, told police they were driving into Xenia in a jeep when they came upon a truck in front of them Y.iiieh had no lights. Stopping the trucker* to warn him of the danger, the youths were standing along the edge of the road when an automobile, headed out of Xenia, attempted to pass another car and “clipped” them. The driver* did not stop and the youths were unable to get the auto’s li­ cense number. Police said the physician, who treated the youths, couldn’t under­ stand how they escaped without leg fractures. One had been hit so hard, they said, that paint from the car fender came off on his leg.
