ACCIDENTS ON THE GRIDIRON
One Hundred and Twenty-Five
Players Hurt in This Country.

New York, Nov. 2s-Footbal during.the
season just closed. played under the new
rules, has been more open game and the
old heavy mass plays were not used. The
greatest number of injuries are reported
from the West. III that section as many
players have been injured as heretofore.
This Is due TO the non-adoption of the new
rules, or rather non-cnforccment OF them.
The football fathers will have to make
the game Still more open in order to do
away with SO many accidents. The num-
Der of accidents last season was Innch
greater than the number this season. Yet
in looking over the partial list here given,
it can be seen that ] % men Were more or
less seriously hurt. OF the four who mot
death in the game, two were boys, one
but fifteen years of age. The boy was
young Bowles of Louisville, KY. who died
from appendicitis, caused by a kick re-
ceived in game. Onlast Thursday Walter
l.. Rhue was killed in Brooklyn. He was
but seventeen years OF age. The most
peculiar accident of the year was that re-
ceived by James Shuts of Dayton, Ohio.
Shuts received the injury while tackling
Dayton man, who was coming through
the line and when everything depended
upon Shuts, who was a weakly-built man.
His head came in contact with his op-
ponent's knee. As nearly as can be ascer-
tained the cervical atlas, at the top part
OF the spinal column, on which the skull
rests, was doubiy FRACTURED, two of the
posterior projections being broken off and
n fracture extending clear Into the SPINAL
column and UP into the skull. Bert Serf
of Nebraska was killed in a mass play.
He was picked up after a scrimmage I'M
conscious and died from conclusion Of the
brain.
With stin more open play the % in
jured reported should be materially les
sencd. and the game will be as interesting
and much less dangerous. A list of the
accidents follow: Number killed, 4; dan
gerously injured. Q; legs broken, 2; arms
broken. 2; noses broken, 8; ribs broken. 2;
collar bones broken, 8; ankles spraned, %;
shoulders dislocated, 8; other dislocations,
