Coaches Suggest Injuries Increased

ST. LOUIS, Mo. The Monsan
to Company has branded as
"irresponsible and completely
without basis in fact" charges
attributed to the National Foot
ball League Players Association
that there has been an alarming
rise in injuries on artificial turf.
Monsanto, the leading pro
ducer of synthetic turf, de
nounced demands by the NFL
Players Association for a mora
torium on further synthetic turf
installations pending completion
of an injury study by Dr. James
G. Garrick of Seattle.
The association referred to a
one-season study, conducted by
Dr. Garrick in 1970, of football
injuries experienced by 26 high
school teams in the Seattle area.
The NFLPA is paying Dr.
Garrick, an orthopedic surgeon,
$8,000 to complete his one-year
study.
Injury surveys were first
evaluated by Monsanto during
the 17 football season. Shortly
afterward, the company said, "It
was determined that any data
collected evaluated and dis
tributed by a manufacturer on his
product would be considered
selfserving and received with

"We further learned that
responsible independent groups,
such as the NCAA, staffed by
team trainers, physicians and
orthopedic surgeons, were con
ducting much broader surveys
based on sound epidemiologial
principles," Monsanto said.

"A preliminary report of this
study was given at the National
Athletic Trainers Association
meeting last summer and sug
gested little, if any, difference in
the frequency or severity of
injuries as they relate to the
surface played upon."
The full report is expected to be
released in January, 1972.

Friday night wos an ex
citing one for the Ashland
Grizzlies but Saturday night
was a different story. Keith
Wentela's last-second Fri
day night heroics pulled out
o 45-44 victory over the Cra
ter Comets but Wenteta and
the rest of the Grizzlies
could not repel I the Klamath
Pelicans the following eve
ning. Klamqth was victorious
60-45.
Behind the entire ball
game against Crater, the
Ashlanders overcame a 12
point halftime deficit to
overtake the comets with 2
seconds left on the clock.
Wentela canned a 15 foot
j ump shot as time ran out.
Plagued by offensive woes,
the Grizzlies could muster
only 10 points in the first
half, but came back with a
35 point performance in the
second half.
With 20 seconds left,
of the Committee for Competitive
Safeguards and Medical Aspects
of Sports organized by the NCAA,
said it was foolish for anyone to
make an immediate judgment
concerning the safety of synthetic
turf.
Dr. Cooper, who also is medical
consultant for the NCAA Football
Rules Committee and team
physician at Oklahoma State
University, said a meaningful
study would require years.
He said data collected by the
NCAA from 60 member schools in
1970 is being fed into computers
at the University of Nebraska.
"But even when we have findings
from that, we won't have
anything but a start on a real
study," Dr. Cooper said.

Mark Wilson managed a tip
in to cut the Comets lead to
44-43. The Grizzlies fouled
Ray Carrigan of the Comets
with 10 seconds left. Car
rigan missed the charity
toss, Wilson grabbed the re
bound and called time-out
with 8 seconds remaining.
The Grizzlies brought the
ball down court and Scott
Toll hit Wentela with o
pass that set up Wentela's
heroic shot. As the ball
split the net the buzzer
sounded and Coach Cop
pie's Grizzlies had their
fourth victory of the campaign.

Grants Pass
By Kevin
J V. Coach Dick Kromminga
plans to start Charlie Lewis,
Vince Oredson, Tony Testerman,
Jay Coldwell, and Bob Silver
against Grants Pass tonight in
the Caveman gym. Del Jordan
Grants Pass J.V. coach plans to
start Larry Winkler, Ron Goss,
Ken Berg, Lany Lewis and Greg
Owens. Coach Jordan states that
his teams strength is "discipline
and team defense."
Coach Kromminga states his
teams overall strength lies in
their quickness.
Kromminga stated "We will
have to stop Grants Passes fast
break and their big center Ron
Goss to win." Grants Pass beat
the Grizzlies on their fast break.
"We can't play with pressure,
we fall apart in the fourth period.
This is due to lack of experience,
with more games we will correct
these errors," states Kromminga
about tonight's game with the
Cavemen. "We must sustain an
effort, put the offensive pressure
on them and keep the pressure off
of us."

On Saturday evening,
the Grizzlies were about as

the Pelicans warmed things
up a bit as they connected
on approximately 45 of
their shots. The Grizzlies

Weekend Action
Medford
Gandee
Tomorrow night in the Ashland
gym the Medford J.V. coach is
starting Mike Rians and John
McLaughlin at Forwards. Bill
Cunningham at Center and Steve
Holbrook and Mike Smoltz at
Guards against the same starting
lineup that Coach Kromminga is
throwing at the Cavemen tonight.
The Bears will be trying to
avenge a 49-43 loss that Medford
handed them two weeks ago. In
that game the Ashland five led 28
to 1 1 at the half.
Kromminga feels that his team
must contain Medford's John
McLaughlin to win. McLaughlin
scored most of the points against
Ashland last time. On offense the
team will try to work the ball in to
Vince Oredson because he is a
bigger center then Medord's Bill
Cunningham. Oredson is 6'5" and
Cunningham is 6'1".
"John McLaughlin, Bill Cun
ningham, and Mike Rians are our
best players, they will probably
have to be played fairly tough
defensively," stated the Medford
coach.
