...writer has in mind that character familiar to all of us and so deserving of sympathy. The energetic and able young man, who is careless enough to show his ability early in his career, finds himself at the end of his Junior year the secretary of this organization, the treasurer of that, a member of an executive committee of still another society, and probably implicated more or less in athletics at the same time. When he is finally chosen for a class committee in his last year, he will probably begin to realize the absurdity of the whole thing. First...

The men were better protected last fall than formerly and were required to wear their protections, and it was the policy of the season not to play a man in any way crippled or allow a man to continue playing to the point of exhaustion. These precautions combined with an improvement in the character of the game have eliminated a large proportion of the injuries, which have at times proved incriminating evidence against football...
