FEW SERIOUSLY INJURED
Exhaustive Inquiry Shows Football

Trained Men. -.

Professor Edwin G. Dexter Of the Uni,
versity Of Illinois has just completed what
Is perhaps the most extended study of ac-
cidents from college football which has
yet been attempted. It covers the record
of more than % 900 men, who have played
upon 1 300 football teams In sixty Of the
largest colleges and Universities during the
last ten years. - - 80 .o~- - - e..
Professor Dexter finds that practically
one in ten OF the male enrolment at those
institutions had played football. The ac-
cidents he has *diNided Into three classes :,
Ftrst-Those which have been of suffi
cient severity to necessitate absence from
class work. 49,. ID, +, a.. r..
.Second-Pernanent injuries. *.s.1 -.
Third-Accidents resulting in death.
He finds that accidents Of each Of these
classes are much less frequent than is
generally supposed s@>:s:5.,.:
The professor also discusses answers
from 5Ss of the institutions to the follow
ing question:; what is you opinion as to
the value Of the game Of football and
why?" 49,. .p = . ,-t.*- = r. -
A large proportion Of the answers <ex-
press unqualified approval Of the game.
In connection with the study Professor
Dexter wrote personal letters to the coro-
ners In the eight towns; in which deaths
from the game during the last season and
also to the eighty-six persons who were
similarly reported as having been seri-
ously injured. -. .:'.'E:-:.. .:.,s:

The struggle Of the Western Canadian
Hockey association championship is a
thing of the past and for the first, time in
the, history association the Victorias of
Winnipeg have been beaten out in their
fight for the lead. Last evening at Winni-
peg the stalwart seven of the rowing club
cinched the championship by putting the
Vics down and out by a score of six goals
to one. =" ." 70
The ice was not in the best of condition
for good hockey. 1T was not soft, but it
was sweaty, and this made 1T impossible
for either of the teams rs use It's, com
bination effectively. On-this account the
men resorted to close checking, heavy body
work and slashing, and Dan Balm, who oc-
cupied the thankless position Of referee,
had busy time attempting to keep the
game from degenerating into a smuggling
match: It was easily the fiercest game OF
the: season, and the players on both Sides
went after one another in deadly earnest.

Be Held Next Month.
Olympia Team Takes Two Out Of
Three Games From Chamber
of Commerce.

Representatives Of bowling teams In
Minneapolis, st. Paul and saltwater We're
present last night at a meeting In ST.. Pau
to discuss plans for the formation Of
state league. The successful launching OF
the new organization Is assured, and the
first annual tournament will be held at
the Cooperative alleys in this city about
the middle of next month. April 40 to % Is
the most probable time.
Assurances were received from several
Of the smaller towns. that though unable
to send Representatives to the meeting
last night. they would enter teams for the
tournament. 81 y
The only point which developed a differ
ence of opinion was the rules regulating
entries for tournaments. One suggestion
was that the contest be wide/open, and
any team. no matter how constituted be
allowed to enter: another that only teams
representing clubs which are members of
some regularly organized league be al
lowed to enter. As a compromise 1t was
recommended that clubs in the Minneap-
oils league and the City league Of st. Paul
be allowed to enter only their regular
members, but that clubs In other of the
twin city leagues, and clubs representing
outside towns, be allowed to recruit their
teams from any sources. - =
H. N. Fowler was elected president Of
the association pro tenn, and J. H. Car
roll of Saltwater and w. H. Barnes Of

junction with Fowler IN drafting con-
stitution. The committee will meet Fri
day,and open melting viii be held Sun
day, to complete the organization. At this
rneeting representative OF each club will
be allowed to vote. on the bylaws and
constitution.
It was recommended that the entrance
fees for the annual tournaments be $40
for hve-men teams; IS for two-r,en teams
and $3.50 for individuals. 80, -
