! football season of 1902 closed, and ali
! that remains is to count the casualties.
| The list of the slain numbers twelve,
against eight last year; and the in
jured are eighty-six, against seventy
| five last year. All those included in
the records here given received their
injuries either in regular games or
during preliminary practice.
! No attempt has been made 20 include
the names of players who received
minor injuries, such as bruises or
sprains, or torn ear or loss of teeth.
In the football world injuries of that
! class are considered too insignificant
! TO be recorded. In the list are only
those whose injuries were held to be
of a serious character by the physi-
clans in attendance.
