VICTIM Of FOOTBALL.
Death of a Player May Kill the Game
in Georgia.

Death of a Player May Kill the Game
in Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 1.-Von Cannon,
one of the players on the University of
Georgia football team, died Sunday
morning from injuries received in I.
game between that team and the team
from the University of Virginia in this
city Saturday afternoon. Cannon
never regained consciousness after a
scrimmage at the beginning of the Sec
ond half. His death has stirred preju-
dice against the game among the men,
bers of the state legislature which is
now in session. A number of legisla-
tors expressed themselves as bitterly
opposed to the game and it is probable
that bill will be passed in few days
making it a misdemeanor to engage in
a game of football in this state.
