Especially is there mo sport in which physical strength aid activity are brought into strenuous use, and but few such sports as beneficial, to any great degree which have not some degree of danger. bile as for such amusements as swimmiug, boating and hunting, they each probably claim twenty victims to football one. Rensselaer ] ;H bees the greatest football town, [, its population, in the state, for in my years, and though a number of -.evere and lammtable accidents have occured among our players, Du fatalities have ever resulted, nor mu >ng those whom they played ag ii ust; nor any permanent injuries.
