FOOTBALL INJURY

There is so much that is good about the intense activities of the football field that the unfortunate and sometimes really sad events which result from this greatest of American games cut into the consciousness with especial keeness. The highly satisfactory performance of the football team last Saturday serves only to put a sharper edge to the regret that one of the outstanding members of that team should have met with grave injury while on the field.

It is idle to inveigh against the stubborn fact some of the most thoroughly joyous, some of the most intensely vital experiences of living are inevitably interwoven with risk. One of Harvard's players has added his name to the fortunately small, but always unhappily large percentage of men who have derived more harm than good from participation in a fine game. It only remains to extend to Victor Harding and his family a deep sympathy that they have been made to suffer by a serious football injury.
