out on the gT1dlrOn tnlS season.
Twelve American youths, ranging
in age from II to 81, were either
killed outright while at play or suf-
fered injuries that resulted in death.
Many others were hurt so they will
be marked or crippled for life.
Last year the death toll in foot
ball was Is. The difference may be
the result of changes in the rules,
but that is doubtful, since most
deaths occur in games where minute
details of rules are liable to be over
looked.
None of the deaths this season oc-
Cured to members of the big we'll
trained college elevens. In most
cases the players were members of
high school, amateur or independent
teams, where there is little or no sys-
TEN of physical training. Some of
the deaths, it is certain, would have
occurred even if the players had been
trained to the minute.
It must be said for the rules COM
mittee that effort was made to take
some of the danger out of the sport.
They provided penalties for rough
ing" the fuliback, running into a
man after the whistle is blown or
knocking down the secondary Of
tense after the whistle is blown.
A penalty was also provided to
prevent a player from throwing his
legs into the air and striking a man
above the knee with the lower leg.
In former years many serious acct
dents resulted from this practice.
No matter what the rules may be
there viii be accidents and deaths as
bong as football is played In many
games, especially those played by in
dependent or unattached teams,
rules are thrown to the winds. Foot
bah, at best, is rough.
