FOOTBALL FATALITIES ARE
 FEW THIS SEASON
Only Twelve Victims in 1917 Against
 18 in 1916.

Football exacted a toll of twelve vic time during the 1917 season, which ended with Thanksgiving day games, according to reports to the Associat- ed Press. The number was SIX less than in 1916 and four less than two years ago. In 1914 there were if teen deaths.
 Defenders of the popular college sport pointed to the fact that not a fatality nor even a serious injury oe- cured in the big universities and col leges where the game is conducted under expert physical direction
 All of the victims with one excep- tion, were either high school students or players, who with little or no training, participated in semi-profes- sional games. A majority of the cases showed that the players entered the game without proper knowledge of it and without proper physical condi- tion for so rough a sport.
 The open style of play has elimi- mated much of the danger, in the opinion of Fred l.. Murphy, a former Yale star, now coach at Northwestern university. '"The players he said, also are better protected through inn proved heavily padded uniforms and headgears."
 A. A. Stagg. the veteran coach at the University of Chicago said that universal physical examination and training of high school students would materially reduce the number of foot ball deaths. Some of the larger high schools now require examination of all athletes.

 T find the same holds true of trap shooting. At first l had to think how 1 would line up my gun, then when l would pull the trigger. how far I would lead the target and a dozen or more other things.
