FOOTBALL PLAYERS
SHOULD PAD
Negligence in Proper Pro
lection of Body Is Cause
of Many Injuries.

Frank c. Longman, former Michigan
football player and now coach at Notre
Dame. has his idea of football reform.
In a paper on the subject, he says:
Il have read the many articles on
revision of football rules since the
close of last season and note that one
thing seems to be lost sight of which
unquestionably would lessen the injur-
les so per cent
Many players go into games not
sufficiently padded and bandaged TO
protect themselves. In the smaller coll
leges there seems to be a tendency to
save on expenses and take a chance On
injuries They do not buy the players
sufficient outfit at the start OF the sea-
son and as result they usually spend
more before the end for doctors bills
than good outfits would have cost, be-
sides the criticism the game receives
and the loss of players in games.
I'm the larger colleges players often
enter games not well padded in order
to have more speed. This is usually
due to the players own desire to win
and make good on the team, but what
ever the cause I believe that coaches
and trainers should pay special atten-
ton to having every mans weak spots
well protected"
