OLD PLAYERS FOR FOOTBALL
DR NAISMITH HEARS FROM SIXEY MEN.
Few Serious Injuries Reported,
While Benefits Received Were
Very Numerous.
Dr. James Naismith last evening submitted his report on American football, compiled from data received from alumni football players, to the Board of Regents The report is made up of the answers to the questions which were contained in letters sent to the old K. U. players by Dr. Naismith, some time ago.
The result of the investigation shows that not only the players themselves are in favor of the retention of the American style of play, but that the general feeling over the entire state is in favor of the playing of the popular sport at Kansas City. Not a man, who answered the letters opposed American football, but the majority favored a revision of the rules, saying that they believed some of the evil features should be eliminated.
"The answers are the most in telligent I ever received with regard to such a subject," said Dr Naismith this afternoon. "Every man showed that he had spent time thinking out each question and all of them answered in a sane manner. There is not a reply which shows any rah-rah spirit it."
The sixty former players who answered the communication from among the 200 sent out,show a similar trend of thought in all of the answers. The first question inquiring why the men had engaged in the game was answered by the sentence, "Because I liked the game," The second question developed the fact that while a good many had been injured during their football career at the University, none were seriously hurt. The recoveries from all of the injuries were in each instance said to have been complete and no ill effects have since come from those injuries.
The question "What benefits did you personally receive from the game?" brought so many replies that in many cases the meridid not have room on the answer blanks to write down the benefits they had received, and wrote peronal letters to enumerate them.

answer, however, was the one to the question. "What is the attitude of the people of your town toward the game?" The report shows that there are very few objections urged by the people of the state in general. Those objections are not serious and include roughness, danger, and commercial spirit in the sport.
