Adopt the end zone pass rule whereby passes over the end zone on the first three downs be listed only as downs, Instead of as touchbacks as at present, CHICAGO, Dec. 27-7aP) Floyd B. Eastwood, New York University In structor, who has conducted three annual survey of football - deaths and accidents, today reported to the American Football Coaches association that over one-quarter of the Injuries to the college players during 1933 might have been avoided by "ade quate leadership." Although the survey, conducted for a coaches committee headed by Dr. Marvin A. (Mai) Stevens, former head coach at Yale, showed that the natu ral hazards of the game stilt were Ihe major cause of all accidents, many of the most severe Injuries and 27.8 per cent of the total could have been avoided by closer attention to the playing fields, coaching and the plr"' condition. Many Colleges Aid. One hundred and seventeen col leges In 38 states and with football quads aggregating 7084 players, co operated In the survey for a good cross -section of the college game. The "preventable" Injuries East wood listed under three headings: Those due to administrative control, uch as Inadequate coach Inc. nnor playing fields, 17.7 per cent; train ing controls, such 'as fatigue, care- I lessnesi, etc., 4.0 per cent; physical 1 condition, S.2 per cent, i From a study of these accidents , he drew the following conclusions: ' 1. Where the college administra tion pays for all Injuries there prob- I ably will be a lower mean number of accidents for 1000 exposures. ' 2. 'Coaches who have had seven years or more experience have a lower mean number of accidents. S. Coaches who have played the game themselves for three or more I years win nave fewer accidents. 4. The coach who handles some other sport will have fewer injuries than one who coaches only football. ft. Four weeks of pre-aeason train ing gives the lowest mean number of accident and days lost. 7. A complete medical examina tion during pre-season training gives the feweat accidents, 8. Fewest accidents occurred where the coach or trainer determined the players' daily condition. Colleges having a physician con stantly In attendance showed the fewest .accidents and days lost. ..,yim Ten of the football it an who will play on tha East's team In the annual Eaet-Weet game In San Fran eleco were captalna, honorary or otherwise, of their own iquada thla fall.
