'25 meant 1925 was the advent of equipment (or around there) which cut the number of deaths signigicantly. The threat of mortal injury tends to disuade young people from taking up certain sports. So American football would not have to be forced 'underground', a modicum of safety was introduced.

It helped. It's pretty popular these days.
