FOOTBALL DEBRUTALIzED.

Casualties of the football season of
J sos, which IS almost a thing of the
past, may be considered reassuring
and a thorough justification OF the
new system of play. According to the
annual compilation OF the Chicago
Tribune. eleven players were killed
and one hundred and four injured in
the United States this year. as against
eighteen killed and one hundred and
i1fty-nine seriously hurt in 1905.
A minor object OF the new rules was
attained when the game was seen to
be more open, spectacular. and there
fore more interesting to spectators.
Their chief aim seems also to have
been accomplished. since the figures
show that the danger to life and limb
mas been lessened by approximately
thirty ner cent.
II football. as in every sport that de-
mands severe exertion, safety depends
largely upon training and proper
physical condition. Not one fatality
has occurred this year in the game as
played by the larger colleges in the
West. and East as we'll. The merit of
the new rules is most apparent, how
ever. in the record Of the high schools.
The injuries among these half-grown.
ill-trained boys still make W the bulk
Of the casualty list. But they num-
Der little more than half what they
did. when the mass plays were the all
important features of the game
Aside from golf and tennis, it is
doubtful if any active sport would
show much smaller list of casualties.
If the statistics were compiled as care
fully. But the list is still too long
Football has been saved from popular
condemnation by the new rules. The
warning of 1905 should never be for
gotten by the friends of the game.
There should be no relaxation in the
efforts to make the sport completely
clean, fair and without needless
hazard.

TRUSTS wITHER n BRITAIN.

That the English attitude toward

a TURKEY ROAST.

Some folks labor under the fond de-
fusion that the turkey was appointed
special Thanksgiving meat by reason Of
his worthiness to hold the job, but
those who prefer most any other meat
to the Juiceless, boneful bird, originally
a wild one of the woods, have a differ
ent theory.
Because there is no evidence to the
contrary, the legend that the turkey
was the centerpiece, the piece de re-
sistance, at the first Thanksgiving din
ner, is accepted as a fact But it does
not vindicate the originators of the
custom of eating turkey. The chances
are that If they had not thought of eat
ing turkey they would have been com
PEELED to satisfy their cravings for
meat of some sort by actually eating
crow.
It may be gathered from history that
the Pilgrim fathers, who established
the festival of Thanksgiving. were not
overstocked with worldly goods at the
time the event first came around. To
be sure. they had raised an abundance
of vegetables that year, and were duly
thankful for them, but they had no
meat, and no feast is complete with out
meat. Along the New England coast.
the haunts of the Pilgrim at that time,
late November is cold. The Holsters
along the rocky shore. which had pro-
vided meat during the summer and
fall had gone into winter quarters. and
refused to come forth and be ported
and trapped or hooked with a forked
stick by some barefooted blue nosed
] Pilgrim. The Fathers were not ex-
pert hunters. and had little or no sue
cess in shooting the frisky red deer
with their antique weapons-which
were operated when the time was ripe
with match or a piece of flint. The
noble red men, who could and did
shoot deer with bow and arrows, saw a
hard winter ahead of them and refused
to swap their supply of jerked venison
for the exchangeable goods of the Pill
grims. which were in reality nothing
but a lot of vegetables of an unattrac-
tvie look to the redskins. And it began
to look as If Thanksgiving meat would
be scarce among the Pilgrims.
All this much is historical facts and
the supposition is that bright Pilgrim

squawking, ungainly fowls which
roamed the woods back of the stockade
and confided to his associates that tur-
key meat would beat no meat at all. by
