FOOTBALL ACCIDENTS
NUMEROUS THIS YEAR
Number So Far is Greatest
Since 1904 and May Yet
Exceed That Total

AS the American football season
draws near the close, the usual NOR
tality and casualty statistics are pre-
sented for the consideration of parents.
guardians and other persons intimately
related to the players. The latter them
selves, it may be inferred, are not par
ticuarly interested in this grewsome
branch of the subject. Studying the
comparative scores and figuring the
chances of success and failure occupy
their time sufficiently when they are
not actually engaged on the gridiron.
Thus far in 1908, 1t appears, 10 foot
ball players have been killed apd 272
injured The number of those injured
is the largest since 1904, when the fig
ure was 296, but many games remain to
be played, and even this record may be
exceeded The season of 1905, with
it's "a deaths, still holds the record of
ghastlineSs.
1t may as we'll be conceded that no
effort to abolish football is going to
succeed. The game has made d firm
place for itself, and not only in college
life. The enormous attendance at every
important game in the east or west
i shows the hold it has attained upon the
American public. Football is an influ-
cntial factor in the development OF
robust manhood and in strengthening
both physical and moral courage, and
there are studies in the college curricu-
lum which might better be spared But
this is not saying that the game re-
quires no reforming. The mortality and
accident tables show that there is i'm.
perative need for amending the meth
ods of play.-Pittsburg Gazette Times

DEFENDS MINCE PIE

New Orleans Editor Takes
Exception to Movement

foolish physician in the north has
undertaken to lead a hopeless move
ment for the abolition of mince pie.
He contends that its only purpose is
to foster indigestion and produce
dreams compared with which those of

This may be true. but he should un-
derstand once and for all that the
mince pie is a sacred and cherished
American institution. The republican
dynasty at Washington may overthrow
the federal constitution, the rights OF
the states and pluck the stars from the
blue field of the national ensign, but
the mince pie Will continue to be the
nations comfort and pride. Our whole
system of government may be changed
in a single night, and yet peace abide
