eliminated and what safeguards may
be raised to prevent death In the near
future"
Yost drew the following conclusions
from the study:
"O) That the number of fatal in
juries Is in inverse proportion to the
degree of coaching, training and med
tcal supervision exercised.
"(2) That apparently it is more
DANGEROUS to play on the defense than
on the offense.
"(3) That the most frequent cause
Of death is fracture of cervical verte-
"(4) That fatal injuries occur prin-
cipally as the result Of players being
struck on neck, head or abdomen by
the hard fiber thigh guards.
scratches, etc, should receive imme-
diate attention, especially to prevent
infections"
THE, investigation showed that IL
i players were injured fatally
while playing on the defense. Seven
were injured on the offense and in
three cases time Of the injury was un-
known.
Only one report o4 foot ball death
suggested that roughness was q con-
tributory cause Of injury.
Yost offers four suggestions to make
the game safer:
IAN equipment should be designed
not only for the protection Of the
wearer, but also with consideration for
the safety of the opponent.
Players should be impressed with
the great importance of paying imme-
diate attention to cuts, scratches. abra-
sions and other avenues Of infection.
"Great attention should be paid by
officials to improper use Of knees and
hands.

and other better known pas
times will make a tremen-
dous appeal to their devo-

compared with aviation, still
in its infancy, and for sheer
thrills it possesses posi-
bilities superior to any.
With ample site facilities

here which not only could
be witnessed by a far larger
throng than could attend
any other event, but which
would provide more OF the

Would Be Revelation.
Progress in aviation for
land planes as well as am
phibians is exceeding even
that recorded in the auto
motive world as demon
strated in the shiny new
models with trick gadgets
now appearing on the
streets, and it is safe to say
that even those who already
are air-minded would find
such a meet a revelation.
An aerial rodeo, with
races and maneuverS for
the various types supple
mented by a stunt competi-
ton with adequate recogni-
ton in the way of prizes
and acclaim for the winners
undoubtedly would attract
the most skillful and daring
pilots in the country and
would earn the hearty sup
port of all interests, COM
mercial as we'll as official,
who have advancement of
aeronauticS at heart.
That men some day would
be able to navigate the air
like birds probably wasn't
even dreamed Of in 1892, but
what could be more fitting
than a demonstration Of the
possibilities of this greatest
modern insurance of ma
tional security in the cele-
bration of the 200th ami

Father of His Country,

an old pitcher new hops. Mr.. Picus
started to scorn modern methods right
after the Civil War. He began getting
suspicious at the battle of the Alamo.
He was thoroughly old-fashioned when
he licked Sitting Bull. He started
thinking for himself just before the
battles of 1912. He was troubled with
bad feet and knew the end of his base
ball career was just around the corner.
But he knew prosperity was around
the same place. Both still are.
He started pitching his slow ball
with some veterans Of the war with
Mexico. Those old soldiers liked an
older mans company. The YAM
KEGS got him when his fast ball had
faded, his legs wobbling and his
curve breaking in the grandstand.
That was the year of his comeback.
He shaved off his beard to fool Connie
Mack and fooled a lot of American
League batterS at the same time. When
he pitched in Washington, Sir Walter
johnson used to take Clark Griffith by
the hand to sneak over and search for
what was holding up Jack. Before the
tour of suspicion had ended Mr.. Picus
usually had struck out most of the
Griff club, Slow-balling 'em into an
afternoon siesta.

~ An investigation conducted
~ by Fielding H. Yost, athletic
director at University Of Mich
igan, has disclosed that of 43 deaths
charged against foot ball last Fall only
% actually resulted from the game.
Yost Investigated each death and has
submitted report to E. K. Hall. chair
man Of the Foot Ball Rules Commit
tee, for its meeting at Hanover, N. H.,
which opens Friday.
OF the 81 reported deaths which Mr..
Yost believes should not be charged to
foot ball, two were caused by pneu-
monia, one by infantile paralysis, one
by kidney disease, one by appendicitis,
one by typhoid fever. six by infections
and one by heart disease. One boy
was injured while wrestling, another
was struck by . truck. One boy was
found alive and well, and another who
was reported dead was found never to
have existed.
THE % who died following actual
i participation in foot ball games
were classified as seven college
players, seven from high schools, and
eight "sand-lot" or unorganized play
ers. Causes Of death were given as

fire. The National Leaguers recognize

Up there in Brooklyn the Dodgers
still believe that Jack is young

But they don't know that under
