New Rules Lessen Football Injuries

Dr. E. H. Nichols '86, physician to the University football team, is preparing a detailed report of the injuries sustained by the men, and the physical effects of football. In his report Dr. Nichols compares the statistics of 1905 with those of the past season, and points out the effect which the new rules have had on the number of injuries. The statistics show that the number of injuries show that the number of injuries during the past season was extremely small, compared with the number of injuries before the establishment of the open game, and that they were of a much less serious character. The new rules, the report shows, have had the desired result of eliminating roughness, and of minimizing the number of injuries. Dr. Nichols's report will be published next month.
