(By Morning journal Special Leased Wire.)
Denver, Nov. 2S.-Professor George
w. Schneider, of the Colorado school
of Mines at Golden, will insist upon
an analysis of the dirt of the college
football field to see whether it con-
tains arsenic in sufficient quantities
to have caused the death of his SON.
Leo Schneider yesterday. Schneider.
a player on the Mines team. suffered
a slight abrasion of the left ankle in
practice several days ago. Septicemia
followed causing death. The tragedy
recalls the fact that numerous stu
dents have suffered severely from
slight wounds received on the foot
ball field Professor Schneider was
himself a famous football player in
the early '90s and says that even be-
fore this slight scratches received on
the football field caused ulcers and
intense pain.

fessor Schneider said today, that
some chemical, presumably arsenic. is
