This Day in History: 1936-11-21

A supposedly staid round of golf proved a painfully dangerous game for Joseph Knisewski, 24, of Ramapo Valley Road in West Mahwah. He and his companions Paul Rimo and George Cornell were approaching the eleventh hole at the Houvenkopf Country Club when he fell down the embankment and fractured his knee. Dr. Unworth also diagnosed badly torn ligaments after examination of the X-rays. Knisewski has had a series of painful mishaps. He had a foot infection earlier in the year and had suffered a broken leg in an automobile accident on Christmas Eve in 1929. (Bristow)
