FOOT BALL AS SAFE
AS OTHER PASTIMES

Foot ball fatality statistics for 1925
show an extraordinary Improvement
over the record for last year, and for
. anv recent year. Only persons
were killed, as compared with 20
in 1928.
AS in the past. the players who
were killed were mainly members
of secondary school elevens and OF
professional teams.
1t is obvious. in view of the fact
that members of college elevens and
Of the big private schools do not
figure in the 1926 mortality list. that
foot ball is dangerous to life only
when PLAYERS are not well coached
and conditioned.
Where foot ball men are taught
how to fall. how to protect them
selves in all situations. and when
they are physically At for the game.
II is no more dangerous than any
other sport involving physical con-
tact.
Only one demand for abolition of
foot ball as result OF death was
heard. That came from a member
Of the Buffalo Board of Education.
following the death of a high school
boy from injuries. This demand was
quickly withdrawn, the board mem
Der being convinced, on more mature
thought, that 1t was not the game
that was at fault.
The lesson to be drawn from this
years foot hall fatalities by school
trustees. physical directors and
others responsible for the welfare
of youth, is that only we'll condi-
toned and well trained students
should be permitted to participate in
the gridiron sport. And they should
see, too. that their teams are not
pitted against teams that overmatch
them in weight. age and strength.
