INDIANS DEPEND
ON LYMAN TEAM
Starting Stanford Team To
Play Most Of Game; Nebras-
ka Has Plenty Reserves

PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 3O.-R,
Clark Daniel Shaughnessy, Stan
ford university's grid coach, is con.
fident his twelve man" team will
hold off Nebraska's superior re-
serve power and march on to vic.
tory in the Rose Bowl New Years

The Stanford coach of the year,
watching his squad go through an.
other workout today, predicted his
starting eleven would shoulder the
burden for most of the minutes of
the coming contest.

If he is able to play at all.
These are the boys who brought
Stanford an undefeated season and
the Rose Bowl nomination. There
are other requirements, of course,
but these reserves and the first

Stanford, should any of it's key men

pressed.
Both Stanford and Nebraska held

Grid Fatalities Show Big
Decline During Past Year

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-RE
Football fatalities during 1910
showed a substantial decline for
the fourth straight year, DR.. Floyd
R. Eastwood of Purdue said today
in his annual report to the Ameri-
can Football Coaches association
and the N. c. A. A. football rules
committee.
The report listed only eight
deaths directly due to football on
the college, high school, athletic
club and sand lot playing fields
during the past season as compar-
ed to IL last year and 80 in 1881
when the survey was first insti-
tuted.
In addition, four other deaths
were indirectly ascribed to the
game as compared with six last
year and 10 in the peak year of
1885. The indirect deaths were due
to infection following injury and
heart inducements. Fatalities at
tributed directly to the game were
due to cerebral hemorrhages, spin
al cord decorations or internal
complications.
OF the eight, one occurred in the
colleges, five in high schools, one
in athletic club competition and
in sand lot play. DR.. Eastwood
pointed out that sand lot fatalities
have decreased 80 per cent since
1881; 66.6 per cent in athletic
clubs; 58.3 per cent in high school
and 87.5 per cent in colleges.
Through pointing out marked
progress in safeguarding the
players in the past decade, DR..
Eastwood suggested that as a
means of furthering future pro-
gress, consideration be given to
the following points:
U-Continued emphasis on
warm-up periods before the start
of practice, scrimmage or game
as we'll as before the start of the
second half.
(3-Adequate preseason prac-
tice Of at least three weeks.
(3)-Liberal requirements dur
ing latter part Of game.
N-Exacting care Of minor cuts
and bruises to minimize the pos
sibility of complications.

bet that he doesn't move from Chapel

Wolf turned down Rice with a lot

.dicted that the Yanks would finish
