Public Opinion will publish IA article in its

Thirteen killed outright in football games dur
ing five weeks OF the of 1906 three not ex-
pected to live and thirty-four serious accidents
making average of a death every day Is the
record for football at the height of the season.
Believing that the roughness of the game as it is
being played is the chief thing to be urged against
It, although it has many other disadvantages
subscribed to newspaper clipping agency which
I have instructed to send me all clippings relating
to deaths and serious accidents due to football"

deaths from football which actually occurred and
I am quite positive that all the accidents would
swell the accident list to the bulk of q separate
article in itself.
and accidents Among this list is found the name
of Miss Bernadotte Decker of Eckhardt. Md. who
died from injury received in a girls football

In this article are mentioned the names Of ten
