Football

Agitation for the abolition OF
football generally follows fatal
accident on the gridiron. 1t will
be SO now since Q West Pointer
has succumbed to the rigors of the
game. There will be the usual
charges that the sport is brutal
and brutalizing one, such as those
which resulted several years ago
in the abandonment of the game
at Columb bia and Union universi,
ties In New York state. Accidents
such as those of Saturday at West
Point are deplorable, but it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether the re-
suit will be a curtailment of the
game to any extent, even though
the form in which it Is now
played, the massing of the elevens
and the like, conduces to serious
mishaps. Furthermore, many
other popular sports suffer from
practically as large a percentage
of fatalities, baseball and automo-
bile racing being among the more
prominent of these.
