The Dangers Of Football.

The death Of another football player
will, il is to be hoped, at last lead to some
modification of the deadly rules under
which this game Ia occasionally carried
on. The victim was young man named
Ison, who died at Moss Side, Lancashire,
from the effect of injuries he received at
football match on the previous day.
From the evidence given at the inquest,
IL appears that In the course Of the game,
which !. was stated was played in ac-
cordance with the Rugby rules" he was
"clarged" by another player. He was
struck on the right side OF the chest, was
lifted off his feet, and fell backward to
the ground. He managed to regain his
legs, but a few minutes later was seized
with a At, became insensible, aud never
rallied. His death was the result OF COM
preston of the brain, caused by the sud
den shock from the charge and the
fall. The charge" said a medical wit
ness, "would be more likely TO produce
mischief than the fall, and was, In his
opinion, extremely dangerous" The
jury were of the same opinion, and in re-
turning verdict OF accidental death"
recommended that the practices of
" charging, butiing, tripping and scrim-
maging' should be disc ntinued by foot
ball players. PaA Mall Gazette.
