Publisher Description: When the 1905 football season ended, nineteen players were dead and countless others were critically injured. The public was outraged. The game had reached a make-or-break moment--fourth down and inches. Coaches, players, fans, and even the president of the United States had one last chance: change football or leave the field. |
Contributor Bio(s): McClafferty, Carla Killough: - Carla Killough McClafferty writes nonfiction books for young readers.
