Presidents speech last night.
ut was q very courageous, straight
hitting speech" the 1928 Democratic
presidential candidate said when he
received newsmen at his usual BIRTH
day interview. He certainly put his
finger on it."
1T remains to be seen whether the
American people will regard 1t as
addressed directly to them or as
Just another speech" he added, Y
regard it as something addressed to
individual Americans"
Sitting at his desk behind a stack
of greetings and before a bank OF

there was mo use of talking about
sacrifice unless 1t is transformed
into action"
Willing to Make Sacrifice.
He declared that. like everybody
else. I'm waiting to be asked; I'm
willing to make nv sacrifice"
1T is difficult for the individual
to figure out just what he can do,
he added
Mr.. Smith said there was no doubt
this country was in a serious con-
dition," but he expressed his belief
that Britain could Withstand assault
alone-if aided by the United States.
Mr.. Smith said the whole world
looked to the United States for
leadership and "the day of the
silent leader is past" in referring
to President Roosevelt's speech last
night.
Questioned about the advisability
of strong talk to the dictator ma

Only 8 Deaths Listed
For 1910 Football,
Substantial Decline
Yeor Is Fourth Straight
In Which FutuIities
Have Been Reduced
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, December 30.-Foot-
ball fatalities during 1910 showed a
substantial decline for the fourth
straight year, DIR. Floyd r. East
wood of Purdue said today in his
annual report to the American Foot
ball Coaches Association and the
N. c. A. A. Football Rules Com
mittee.
The report listed only eight deaths
directly due to football on the coll
lege, high school, athletic club and
sandlot playing fields during the
past season, as compared to II last
year and 80 in 1881 when the sur
vey was first instituted.
In addition, other deaths were
indirectly ascribed to the game, as
compared with 6 last year and 10
in the peak year OF 1895. The
indirect deaths were due to infection
following injury and heart involve
mentS. Fatalities attributed directly
to the game were due to cerebral
hemorrhages, spinal cord lacerations
or internal complications.
OF the eight, one occurred in the
colleges, five in high schools, one in
athletic club competition and one in
sand lot play. DR.. Eastwood pointed
out that sandlot fatalities have de-
creased 80 per cent since 1881: t66 6
per cent in athletic clubs; 58.3 per
cent in high school, and s7.5 per
cent in colleges.
Through pointing out marked
progress in safeguarding the play
ers in the past decade. DR.. Eastwood
suggested that as a means OF fur
thering future progress, considera-
ton be given to the following points:
l. Continued emphasis on warm
up periods before the start Of prac-
tice, scrimmage or game as we'll as
before the start of the second halt.
Q Adequate preseason practice of
at least three weeks.
3. Liberal requirements during
latter part of game.
f. Exacting care of minor cuts and
bruises to minimize the possibility
of complications.
S. Careful training In funda-
mentals of blocking and tackling
as we'll as being tackled" and being
blocked"
6. Better equipment protection for
the spine and internal organs.
7. A more thorough medical ex-
animation to include heart examina-
ton and blood pressure reading be-

indicating need for further exami-
nation; thorough examination for
hernia and varicocele veins and a
careful check-up of injured players
by physician before they are
allowed to return to active participa-
ton.
g. A more definite emphasis on the

penalties for "piling-up."

by incendiaries were fast being
