"Debrutalized" Football Continues
Appalling Record of Fatalities

''DeDfutallZed" Football Continues
Appalling Record of Fatalities
''Debrutalized" football has been as
brutal as ever in the season of 1908.
The toll in gridiron warfare between
colleges high schools and athletic clubs
is ten dead and 300 injured. The adop-
ton of a more open scheme of play has
failed for the third season to realize
the hopes of the supporters of the game
that cleaner record could be shown
Fatalities have been reduced to no APP
preciable extent and more players have
been injured thus far than were hurt
in the season of 1905, when the appall-
ing record prompted coaches and col
lese heads to revise the rules.
In the record-breaking year proceed
ing the revision of the game twenty
four players were killed and 200 in
jured Although the number of dead
this season is not as large rs in 1905,
ninety more mishaps than were re-
ported in that year already have been
recorded and it is considered probable
that before the final games are played
the total of injured will surpass the
record of 1904, when 296 players were
on the hospital lists. The record of
football deaths and serious injury for
eight years beginning in 1901 is: Dead.
113; injured. 1856.

Supposedly by Burglar.
One of the most cold-blooded and de-

of Superior took place there supposedly
Sunday nighC, but the body of the muir
dered man was not found for several days.
The victim, James Collins, was we'll
known longshoreman. He was employed
as grain trimmer on the -four docks and
lived IN a little shack near there, and was
last seen Sunday afternoon. When his
friends missed him one of them went to
the shack only to find that he had been
murdered in his bed, dragged across the
room and thrown in a corner. His face
and head were terribly mutilated. The
bed clothes were spattered with blood. 1t
is thought that someone had entered his
shack for the purpose of robbing him and
murdered him to prevent him from giving
any alarm. The slain man had been a
resident of Superior for twenty years
