not become sufficiently hardened to stay
in full game, vet the hue and cry is
raised aDout poor. much-abused football
all the time
The season of 1910 has made a record.
Two men only killed playing football.
Men, / say; not children Truly, the
game is great enough to stand such
small percentage OF death, though IL Is
regrettable that even their deaths had TO
occur.
But any athletic sport takes It's toll.
Baseball takes It: so does boxing. auto
MODELLING. Note the Yandy cup race.
Even rowing. They ali have their per
centage of men killed each year. yet you
never hear the howl raised about them
that there is about football: yet / ven
ture to say that the toll OF deaths among
the men playing football this year Is
far less than those, playing any other
game Look II up for yourself II you
don't believe me.
And in the list Of injuries sustained By
the players. There are some injuries
stated that will happen 4 you are carry
ing a scuttle of coal upstairs, or running
after a street car, or doing a thousand
and one other things during the course Of
your daily life. Yet you don't hear the
mayor of a city tell you not 10 run after
q street ear or not TO carry up a scuttle
OF coal.
What's the difference if the same acct
dents happen 10 you playing fOOtballT
Why this holler about the greatest of all
sports? 1t makes sane. sensible, full
hlooded athletic men tired Yet il hap
pens every year.
Poor old football. How you are abused.
