The operation began shortly after midnight and ended about 5:30 a.m., the spokeswoman said. Kellie was taken to the intensive care unit where she is listed in crit ical condition, said a nursing super visor who asked not to be named. The first heart apparently was not beating properly and shewed signs of rejection, the supervisor said. Doctors discussed using mechanical assistance to make the first heart function but decided to operate a second time once a donor was found, she said. The Birmingham, Ala., girl un derwent a dual heart-liver transplant Friday. In that 13-hour procedure, liver transplant pioneer Dr. Thomas Starzl supervised one phase of the operation and Dr. Henry Bahnson performed the heart transplant. Kellie suffered from intrahe] biliary hypoplasia, a disease causes bile ducts in the liver- to generate. Her heart muscles u were damaged, possibly as a result a virus, doctors said. Kellie and her mother, J Cochran, had been staying at Ronald McDonald House in Pi burgh for the past several weekstj he near the hospital when a do was found.

In 1823, William Ellis, a student at Rugby College, England, was involved in a soccer game playing with strictly kicking rules. Ellis de cided that since kicking was not his forte he would run the ball down the field. News of Ellis’s run spread. Soccer players began to think that running as well as kicking the ball would add excitement to games. Everytime Ellis’s play was mentioned Rugby College was too. Eventually, the new game was called “Rugby’s Game.” Rugby was tried as an experiment. Rules stating a player could run with the ball if caught on the fly or on the first bounce were added. Players took an immedi ate liking to the game. Rugby came to the United States in 1875. Even though Americans have never taken greatly to Rugby, America owns the distinction of having won the Rugby Championship in the Olympic games in 1920 and 1924. A February 1984 NCAA report listed Rugby as the number one club sport among men, both in number of sponsoring institutions and the number of participants. For women, Rugby was fifth in numbers of participants and second in number of sponsoring institutions.
