NEW YORK, Dec. Purified foot
ball, although purged of the most motor
iously brutal features of the ''old
game, ana further emasculinated by
shorter and less killing schedules, ncv.
ertheless eXacted its measure of dead
and injured during the season Just end
cd. Its toll of fourteen fatalities is n
decided decrease from the total OF
uwenty-four deaths in 1905, No I'M
provement is indicated, however, in
comparison with the two previous years,
1904 and 1908 during each OF which
there were fourteen deaths
One OF the fourteen deaths during the
past season was indirect inasmnch as
il was the outcome of riot during a
heated contest at Davenport, Iowa,
Nov. 8. Ed Littig's foot was torn off
in the wheel of a buggy on the side
lines, death resulting several days later
One hundred or more spectators were
injured and three were seriously hurt
at Syracuse, n Y. Oct. 20, when the
bleachers collapsed during the Syracuse
Colgate contest, precipitating 400 per-
sons 10 the ground.
Short schedules for the big
schools and the absence of meetings be-
tween the foremost members of the
"big nine in the West, are regarded
as largely responsible for the fact that
the hospital lists were not larger. At
the Chicago camp only three players
were injured during the season-Parry,
Walker and Kelley-but Chicago had
but one really crucial conflict on its
schedule of FIVE games, and did not
clash with either Michigan or Wiscon-
sin.
In the subioined list of injuries, only
those of a serious nature are given.
