I bought an old book the other day. Thought these figures for FOOTBALL DEATHS AND INJURIES were quite shocking as compiled by the Chicago Herald, printed in
St. Paul Dispatch and St. Paul Pioneer Press: Yearbook and Almanac 1916

1907 15 166
1908 11 304
1909 30 216
1910 22 499
1911 11 178

This
is college only...don't think it has high school, but maybe...it
doesn't say. All the other scores etc. are for college games, so I
assume these figures are for college football.
