Horrors at Home.

“The football tournament betweefl the teams of Harvard and Yale, recently held in America, had terrible results. It turned into an awful butchery. Of twenty-two participants, seven were so severely injured that they had to be carried from the field in a dying condition. One player had his back broken, another lost an eye. and a third lost a leg. Both teams appeared upon the field with a crowd of ambulances, surgeons, and nurses. Many ladles fainted at the awful cries of the injured players. The Indignation of the spectators was powerful, but they were so terrorized that they were afraid to leave the field.” One wonders whether the Munchener Nachrichten, which printed the foregoing in its columns in the year 1893, would have had room for it last fall.—— New York Tribune.
