MANY FOOTBALL
 ACCIDENTS.

Appalling List of Deaths on the GriQ,rJn-One Life Sacrificed
 Every Three Days for the Past
 MOnlh-The Game Forbidden ln
 Many Places.
 A casual skimming of the news col umns Ot a lew pap>rs for the past month reveals the fact that the foot. ball craze is attended with an appah- ing number of fatalities and unnum- bered serious injuries. An average of one young life every three days has been sacrificed to the strenuous game.
 As a result of injuries sustained by players in football teams this season, several of the minor schools and e. leges ill various parts of the country have forbidden the playing of football by students. None of the large col leges or universities has taken a hos tile stand against the game as yet, and it is not likely that a general move ment in this direction will take place. It is to be noticed, however, that in the smaller schools and towns there is more feeling this year against the game than there has been In any season heretofore.
