THE DANGERS OF FOOTBALL.
Careful Preparation and Training-Prac-
tice of the College Teams.

The game Is as safe as any outdoor game
can well be, provided it is played with the
careful preparation and training which are
the rule in the larger colleges; it IS danger
Gus and unfit game when men undertake TO
play it without such preparation and train
ing. In the season of last year two fatal ac-
cidents were reported. Both occurred in col
leges which were attempting to play the game
as 1t is played by the leading teams without
any Of the preparation which they find an
essential The writer, who has been in the
habit of attending the regular games OF the
college with which he is connected, has felt
under obligations to be equally consistent in
attending the daily practice games Of the
men, in order to watch the preliminary train
ing, and he must confess to a great respect
for the good sense and good management of
the undergraduates who have the matter in
charge.
The university team" is selected pro-
visionally; it is pitted against a second or
scrub" team of somewhat larger numbers;
both teams are kept under careful training
and supervision; the Playing is made short
and as gentle Is possible at first, until the
men begin TO become ~hard;" the playing is
then gradually heightened and made more
severe, as the men become able 10 endure it,
and, by the time the season comes to its last
game, the players are able to endure with i'm
punity treatment which would be dangerous to
men who are soft" or out of condition. After
the first few weeks are over and serious play
ing has begun, men who have not yet played
are not encouraged, or, in extreme cases. even
allowed. to play on the scrub" team; the
managers think it inadvisable to run any
risks, The players are not only brought 20 a
point Of physical condition which makes it a
pleasure TO watch them; they are taught
how to fall, when fall is inevitable, in such
way as TO retain control Of the ball without
hazarding a broken bone or dislocation
When the closing games come on the player
can take what seems 20 the spectator fright
full fall, not only without a bruise, but so
skllifully that 1t is regularly necessary for his
opponent TO ''hold him down" lest he rebound
and take to bis heels again. The preliminary
practice games can hardly be more severe
elsewhere than at Princeton; and yet the
writer has never seen a serious accident &C.
cur there. An accident may occur, OF course,
and will give no warning of its coming but
Its coming has been put as far as possible out
of the range Of probability. But if men in
other colleges wished to play football, al
should be the case, they must not ignore the
systematic course Of preparation, take the
final playing of we'll trained team as a
model, and attempt to initiate it. 1t is from
such folly that the recurring accidents in
football come. With good physical condition
in the players, the requisite training, and
suitable grounds. the game is not only one of
the best of outdoor sports, but one of the
safest.-Alexander Johnston in The Century.
