Bed Pushers Trying For 360-Mile Record
BOISE. Idaho—(UPI)一A team of collegiate bed pushers headed into Boise today behind their rubber-wheeled hospital bed on what they said was a record-breaking trip from Moscow Moscow. Idaho, that is.
The pushers are students from the University of Idaho at Moscow, 360 miles away. They started their trip four days ago to raise money for a cancer fund.
Major difficulty developed yesterday when the bed developed a flat tire. But the students, who are on spring vacation, appeared certain of smashing a previously set bed-pushing mark, believed to have been established in California. They already have smashed a Canadian time record, they say.
Although none of the team members has had any sleep since they left Moscow, they do not rest in the bed. They rest in a truck that follows them. The students push the bed along at about 5 miles an hour in relays.
