Anybody lias seen modern professional wrestling should get a little ink-; ling of what that means.

There ten times more injuries foot-: ball than in has-: ketball. 'A'- number of years ago a. Jefinite attempt was made to make; football less dangerous by substi-' Luting an open game for a closed, game. How successful that was can be judged by the fact 1 that the forward pass is the most dangerous play In the game, as about 36 per cent of all injuries occur on this play. The forward pass was the play which was Introduced to make football safe.

Returning punts accounts for 10 per cent of all injuries; end arotntd and off tackle for 22 per cent; tine plays for 8 per cent; 65 per cent of all injuries occur between the 20-yard line and the end line--this in spite of the fact that only 30 per cent of all plays'are called In this zone. Forty-two percent of all Injurie: were suffered "by the tnckler; 3'! per cent of all injuries were suffered by the Mocker; per cent occurred In pile-lips; 15 per 'cent were suffered by the playci tackled, and 11 per cent were the result of players being kicked.

The Indians recognized these officers and welcomed In the Doghouse Mike behind ban Mike, a nhie-month-olcl Scottish terrier; behind tho bars at Brockton, jail when two boys found him wandering on the street, distraught with grief because he was lost.

And such as it was, according to the old mountaineer, afien consisted only of venison, Johnny cnke and blacK coffee. The Johnny cake was corn beaten or ground into very coarse meal by the use of two rocks in the hands of an old Indian squaw. Listening to this old man whose eyes are dimmed by age and whose trigger finger is no longer steady, somehow I envied him his memories of those stirring, yet dangerous, days when this great country was still in swaddling clothes. What a yarn spinner he was! I could almost smell the aroma of campfires and hear the beat of horses hoofs, the Indian warhoop, the scream of pjinthers, and. the cluck of the old covered wagon'as it rattled over the mountain roads.
