There never was a harder player,

than Robert P. Kernan, of Harvard.
In discussing the new game, as op-
posed to the old, with particular re-
gard as to whether the rules kad been
really revised, he said:
“They ‘say they've opened the

adelphisa, ved referee of the
Harvard-West Point in, stated that
the fatality was doe to an “unfortu-
nate cident as distressing ag un-
avoidable.”
“There was no fault of the eonches
that contributed to Byrne's death. 1
noted that he was in fine physical
shape, in perfeet health, I might say.
I was behind the Harvard Hne at the
time of the accident, Just as soon as
the ball was snapped back Byrne dove
in between left tackle and guard. The
Harvard players moved right on and
Byrne was stretched on the field. The
whole thing occurred so quickly that
no one will ever know just how it did
actually occur. It was not due to the
roughness of the game, for I have sel-
game
which was so cleanly and fairly
played. There was not the faintest
indication of unnecessary violence,
and no uncalled for piling upon the
player after he had been thrown.”
“Can vou suggest any modification
of the rules which might insure more
safety to the players?” was asked.
“No,” was Dr. Sharpe's emphatic
reply. “Most of the injuries in foot-
ball to-day resulted from tackles, and
if you were to eliminate tackling you
could not play football, Personally 1
