Narrative:
On takeoff roll from grass strip on a no-wind; dry; early morning; [the] little C150 begun to pull to the right. I tried to correct by applying left rudder and brake but aircraft kept pulling to right; turned 180 degrees and stopped at right side off runway in brush. The left gear was completely detached with the rudder cable broken.
