l6 Boys LOST THEIR LIVES

Sixteen boys lost their lives on the
football fields of the United States dur
ing the season just concluded. Yet OF
the l6 only three were college players.
and only one WAS a seasoned football
er-Caplaln Scott OF the Knox College
team. The ID other boys whJ died as a
result of injuries received on the foot
bail field were members of high school
and free lance elevens. They had not
been examined for physical defects be-
fure participating IN the game. No
game involving violent physical con-
tact can be made safe for lads with un-
sound hearts or weak bloodvessels and
the deaths of the uneXamined lossp are
to be blamed on the carelessness OF
their parents and schoolmasters rather
than on-defects in the football rules.
The new rules have cut down the lists
of casualties from 80 in 1909 and % in
1910 to IL in 1871, lO in 1912, IA in 1913,
13in 1913 and l6 in 1915 Today the
game is reasonably to Withstand the
shocks iu entails. Yet, owing to ma
tural human carelessness, football sea-
sons will d1uotle5s continue to be MARI
el by 10 or IL deaths. But football is
cheap at the price. 1t trains boys in
courage and cooperation as does no
other game 1t supplies an outlet for
the combative instinct, which find toe
few opportunities for satisfaction in
our orderly civilization. If footoal
cost few lives, it claims many. The
game is worth the candle.
