THE LIST IS APPALLING.

The total casualty list in football this year is greater than ever; the number of deaths is appalling. Most of the fatalities and most of the injuries have occurred in the ranks of high school football players. Boys of tender age, some of them just entering their teens have been victims of the game because of lack of training and proper preparation for the grueling contests in which they have entered. No one knows who will be the next victim. It may be your boy.—Lake County Times.
