BY w. D. RIsHEL.

The death of Thomas Evans of the
Logan Aggies as a result OF injuries
received in n football game is the nrsI
fatality in the history of the great COZ
lese sport in this state. Whenever y,
accident of this kind occurs in any
community. and the records show that
many are killed while playing the
game, there is always A great Cry
raised against the game by those who
do not like football. 1t is not the In
tention OF the writer 70 attempt
claim football is more brutal than any
other sports, neither is it the writer's
intention 10 defend the sport, but n
give few cold facts on fatal footbsli
accidents and the chances that are
taken in the game as far as Utah =
concerned.
The writer has a complete record OF
the important football contests in this
state and finds that the University or
Utah. since the introduction of a coacn
in 1900, has played fifty-four games.
The A. c.. since 1902, has played thir-
ty-seVen games the Salt Lake High
since 1898. has played ifty-six games.
The Ogden High. since 1897. has
played sixty-two games, and All Hal
lows. since 1900. forty-five games Ces-
timated). This makes a total of 254
games for which admissions have been
played the game in a haphazard sort
of way for years before a record or
them were kept. and one may add fifty
games To this list. and il will not De
too many for the five leading football
schools of the state.
In addition to the schools mentioned.

first and second teams, the Collegiate
Institute. Granite, Murray and Park
City High schools. the o. (. L.. For,

nearly every one of the grade schools
of Salt Lake. together with IeaI.i-
made up of different unattached play
ers in this city and Ogden. have. dur
ing the history Of football played hun
dreds Of games. IN placing the num-
her of these games a the Same figure
as played by the five leading schools, it
would give Il total of sic games or COZ
lege football that have been played IN
Utah since the early '90s.
Without counting the substitutes.
twenty-five men or boys took part In
each one of these games. or a total OF
1852 men and boys. The regulation
time OF q game is two thirty five-min-
ute halves hut as some of the games
are for a shorter time. we Will say that
each game was one hour in length.
The above estimate is certainly a fair
one and by no means too large. and il
shows that 1852 men and boys have
taken part for one hour In one of the
most strenuous sports known during 4
period Of fifteen years and the net re-
suit in fatalities is one death.
You may draw your own conclusions
as to the brutality of modern football.
