According to DR.. Edward H. Nichols.
medical adviser Of the athletic teams
at Harvard, there has been a remark
able decrease in all varieties of in
Jur1es on the gridiron since the re-
vision Of the football rules of 1906.
DIR. Nichols has made an exhaustive
study OF the subject at Cambridge and
his report IL published in the Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal. He has
mad the cooperation of Dr. Frank l..
Richardson, who was his assistant at
Harvard last fall.
The recapitulation of injuries to
football players at Harvard for the
last four seasons shows that there
were more injuries by 80 in 1905, the
last season under the old rules, than
In the three seasons combined under
the revised code, which speaks well
for the game as now played: This ia

The report shows that there were

to 1906 that have decreased materially
In number since the game was opened
up and the general style of play
changed. In 1905 IL men dislocated
the end OF the shoulder, while there
were only two injuries Of this kind in
1905, one In 1907 and FIVE last fall, the
most serious being the one which kept

ankles sprained at Harvard in 1905,
as many AZ have been sustained dur

Twelve cuts requiring dressings were
sustained In 1895, there being four
OF these the following season, nine in
