Deaths From Football.
Pan llalI Gazette.

The football season has barely got
into full swing, and already two deaths
have been caused by the game, besic-
as goodly number Of bIoken limbs.
The controversy as TO The compare
tive safety Of tie two styles Of play ing
is left just where it was before, since
one Of The deaths occurred 10 an assc-

ter witness assured The coroner thst
Rugby football was much less danger
Gus. In tither form the game is some

chances of danger. Enthusiasts will
not hear Of any reform on the side Of
mildness, and frem their point Of view

game you spoil it; but, on the other
hand if the game is left as it IS it can
bot be denied that the risk attendant
on II exceeds that due amount which
is inseparabie from all the outdoor
games.
