Chicago killed, sew
enty seriously injured. and scores Of
others painfully hurt has been the
cost of football to the United States
thus far this year, according TO the
figures collected by the Chicago Tri-
bune The list of the dead seems TO
be a decisive answer. the Chicago
paper says, to the assertion of the
football experts that the development
of the open game would lead to a
lessening of the perils of the gridiron.
That is the grim. CHASTITY tale of
the gridiron covering period of six
ty-seven days.
The open game" hailed to be
without brutality by college enthu-
siasts, wrought fearful havoc Twelve
of the dead were schoolboys under
twenty years old. Six college men,
properly trained for the bruisiRg en-
counters, were sacrificed, while only
one member of an athletic club or
semi-professional team was placed on
the altar.
OF the 209 players manned, par
aiyzed or dying from the e1ects or in
juries sustained 165 are wearers of
college colors. The giants selected
from near and far for the perilous
pastime, conditioned and trained to
the pink of perfection" for smash
ing contests, were forced to bear the
brunt of the injuries.
Thirty-nine schoolboys, many un-
der fifteen years old. assisted in swell
ing the grewsome total. while only
five semi-professional players were
reported in the list of cripples-
The number of deaths is the high
est 1t has been in years. and is almost
double that of either of the two sea-
sons recently passed. In 1907 there
we're only fourteen deaths, and in
1908 only thirteen.
II should be noted that the Tri-
bune's total includes a number of
players hurt in games played during
the past year or even earlier, who
have died during the current twelve
month.
The facts also seem TO disproye the
claim of the games supporters that
it is the games of the unframed boys
and the athletic clubs that cause the
fatalities. OF this years dead the
majority were college players. sup
