Last Years Record.
bEdI Q
Seriously injured ......... ..... rs
With Thanksgiving day passed the
football season of 1902 closed, and all
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 OF
during preliminary practice.
No attempt has been made 70 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 serious character by the physi-
clans in attendance.
The seasons last day brought its
quota of injured, and one of the vic.
TINS probably will die. Webster

of the New Comerstown, O., Athletic
club team, was fatally injured in a
scrimmage at Coshocton, o. Yingling
weighs but 100 pounds, and was
abdomen being crushed.
During the Chicago-Wisconsin game
in this city c. A. Abbott of Wisconsin
had the cartilage of his nose broken by

forced to leave the field.
Other accidents attendant on foot
ball games, such as the collapse of the
grandstand on Marshall field in Chica-
go on Nov. l, in which one life was
lost and forty persons were injured,
have not been taken into consideration.
