ference between the Evening Journal

ing journal stands where it has stood
throughout this controversy-opposed
to Addicks and opposed to every legis-

DANGERS OF FOOTBALL

With the season scarcely open, re.
ports OF accidents OF serious nature
on the football fields are coming in. /.
is doubtful however, whether such re-
ports will have any material bearing
on a rough-and-tumble game which oc-
cupies such an exalted place in public
favor. Two Of Harvard's players were
injured at practice on Tuesday. Hal
lowell hurt his ankle so badly that he
will be unable to play for at least three
weeks, and may not get back into the
eleven until after the PENNSYLVANIA
game. Howe, the freshman guard from
Exeter, sustained broken leg, and
will not be able to play again this sea-
son. But there are many waiting to
take their places, for the college foot
ball player is a hero while 1t lasts, and
revels in the plaudits OF the grand
stand and bleacher.
Out in Lake Forest, ILL.,, however. the
university football team has been
broken up by parents of the players. A
week ago Lawrence Pierson received
injuries which resulted in his death.
Quickly following this came orders
from the parents Of six members OF
the team forbidding them to play the
game. The boys pleaded, but their
parents were firm, even in the face OF
no action by the faculty. The team has
cancelled all dates, some OF them ex-
ceedingiy important from an inter-
collegiate point Of view.
While the immediate effect OF these
accidents is not apparent on the game
Itself, 1t may be predicted with safety
that in a few years there will be ma
terial notifications OF the rules which
will make it safer for those who en-
gage in the pastime.
