RESULTS OF OPEN PLAY.
Fewer Fatalities Reported This Year
From Football Injuries.

Chicago, Nov. 23.-With the ex-
ception OF a few Thanksgiving day
games, today marks the end Of the
college football season for 1907.
Thanks to the change in rules and
the elimination Of much Of the rough
play there have been fewer fatali-
ties from the game this year than
ever before since the sport became
popular in this country. Since the
opening of the season the latter part
Of September nearly a dozen players
have died as the result of injuries
received on the gridiron, but this
number is small as compared with
the records in past years. 1t is no
ticeable, moreover, that nearly all Of
the victims were members of schol-
astic or association teams, only two
or three Of them belonging to col
lcge elevens. No football player
among the larger colleges has been
killed. though injuries among the
players have been common.
The list Of the victims to date is
as follows:
William O'Brien, IS years old, of
Cortlandt, n. Y. died of hemor-
rhage Of the brain, following injuries
received in a school game.
Leonard J. Clarkson. 90 years old,
of the Norwich university team. died
from injuries received in the game
with Dartmouth.
Thomas Bertram, 20 years old, Of
the Altoona. Pa, Athletic club, died

Travelling Auto Repair Shop.

A new vocation has sprung mp on
some of the large country roads lead
ing out of Philadelphia. 1t is that of
the itinerant repairer of automobiles.
Its first exponent was seen on the Old
York road near Jenkintown. where,
with his whole equipment in Il bag lie
walked along the highway bearing a
sign. Autos Repaired says the Phil
adelphia Record. The man is clever
machinist who has made Il special
study of automobiles and whose scrv
ices are at the command of any motor
list who needs them. as many automo
bile owners who drive their own ma
chimes are likely to do. In the case OF
breakdown he is apt soon to- lie
along, for things have prospered with
him, and he now travels and carries
his tools in striped runa about. which
shows evidence that it is out for bust
ness. In effect he is a travelling auto
mobile repair shop and as such occu
pies about the same relation to the
average automobile as the repair ships
