That the latest American modiflca.
ton of the English rugby football
game is likely to stand for several
years at least, with perhaps few
further minor changes, is the opinion
of many of the coaches and players
of the New England college elevens at
the close of the present season. From
the spectators standpoint the game
proved more popular than ever be-
fore.
Injuries were less in number and
seriousness than for many years, only
one fatality occurring in this section.
That was on Thanksgiving day, at
Winsted, Conn.
According to Trainer "Pooch' Don
ovan and Doctor Nichols Of the Har-
ward eleven, twisted knees were more
prevalent than any other injury.
Coach Don" PryGT Of the Brown
squad said that the new rules helped
his team immensely. "They gave a
greater chance for heady, speedy
men," he said, than was allowed the
same players under the old rules, and
