MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28. 1934. PAGE SEVEN F $PORT SLANTS Sv Poo Four-Year Survey Shows College, Club and Sandlot Fatalities Lower Safe guards Are Needed By FOSTER HA 1 LET Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, Dec. 28. (AP) A harp challenge to high and prepara tory schools to reduce their football death roll was Issued today by Prof. Tloyd H. Eastwood of New York uni versity in reporting the results of a four-year survey of football fatalities. ratal Injuries In college, athletic cftub and sandlot games are decreas ing, Eastwood told the American Football Coaches' 'association. In con trast, the undlmlnlshlng number of nigh and preparatory school fatalities form an Increasing percentage of the total. The percentage was 56.5 this year against 36.3 In 1931. The record Is even more alarming, he said. If deaths from Infection which he does not list as directly at tributable to football be Included. There were five such among high gohool players last fall. The remedy, he believes, Is not un attainable and lists the following six point program: 1. An association of high school football coaches to do In high school football what the American Football Coaches' association has done for the college sport: 3. Raise the standard for employ ment of high school coaches, requir ing them to have. In addition to foot ball and coaching experience, advanc ed courses under leading football teachers; 5. Teach a rolling rather than a bend-on ackle: to block so that the oft parte of the body will be con tacted; to tuck In their chins when falling backward after being tackled or blocked .'n order t3 avoid concus sion; 4. Provide a thorough physical ex amination beiore practice or a game; 6. Provide adequate first aid fa culties on the field of play to de crease deaths from Infection; 6. Obse:.-ve caution In seeing a player Js thoroughly "warmed up" before he Is tent Into a game. (An analysis shows that the major percentage of Injuries occur In the first and final quarters rt - game). Eastwood took to task parents who give a youngster a footoall But no other equipment and urges the equip ment concerns to develop improved headguards and pads to protect the abdomen and lower back. In the four-year hletory of the sur m. made In co-oneratlon with the Associated Press and the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Un derwriters, 115 accidental deaths were reported as directly attributable to football. FISH IS ROLLED OFF The City Cleaners bowling team won two out of three game In their roll-off match with the Texaco quin tet on the Elks alleys last night to ellnch second place In the recently ooncluded tournament. The two teams finished the tournament in a dead heat for second place, only a few games behind the champion Weeks and Orr aggregation. ' As a result of last night's roll-off the teams finishing In the money are rated as follows: First, Weeks and Orr; second. City Clesners; third, Texaco; fourth. Studebaker. KRUSE WINS WHEN! In professional golf. It ana that money li th root of tha lateat yU. Money matters hav commanded al most & much paca in tha new mm th actual golf competition. The way the proa bava been jug gling the matter of prize money and lta distribution la In no way going to help to build up or make rich golf tournaments more popular. On the contrary, Instead of promising real competition among the best pro golfers, there Is the tendency to make these meetings mere exhibi tions. Witness the way the proa hare established their monetary policy. A few years ago Gene Saraa and Johnny Farrell agreed to pool their winnings for a certain period, divid ing the profits. That waa the begin ning. N The little band of American pro stars who Invaded Australia this fall decided to share the winnings. The result was that when Leo Dlegel won, the rich Melbourne centenary pro championship he pocketed only the same share he would have had he finished well down the list, provided, of course, one of his group won the event. It may be the accepted practice among pro golfers, but It seems hard ly the proper basis for compeltlve aports. To the victor belongs the spoils and any arrangement that might cast even the slightest doubt on the possibility of any entrant not trying his utmost to win Is not a healthy one. Each and every man ahould be In there doing his best, without the slightest hint of agree ments or arrangements. Gentleman's Game? , To go to the recently contested I Miami Blltmore Open. The donor of the rich prize chose to add an extra $2500 to the original 910.000 offered In the past and to split the field Into two divisions the first section to be comprised of those big names In the pro ranks while the second group to be made up of golfers who devoted most of their time to In structing and paid little attention to tournament prize play. It seemed like a good enough plan and promised double Interest In the tournament. The Bombers, as the first division was named, did not take kindly to this arrangement. And particularly did they question the way the prizes in their own group were to be divided. It was one thing for someone to put up the money that was a grand Idea, but when that party took the liberty of trying to say how the money waa to be han dled that was something else again. It was a bit more than the elub swingers could countenance. So they called a meeting and scaled the prizes to their own liking. Every thing might have gone along smooth ly had not one enterprising sports writer voiced the desire to publish the decision of the meeting. That brought forth a storm of protest. It was no one's business hw they de cided the split, some argued. The argument become so heated that "Wild Bill" Melhorn became wilder than ever and took a few swings at the enterprising writer. The results of the meeting were published along with, all that took place and the re action was hardly favorable to the pro cause. Just a Show! If the boys are smart enough to look ahead a bit they cannot help but see what this is going to do to their very pleasant source of Income. Qolf tournaments axe certain to become nothing more than exhibitions and as much as the paying public wants to see highly advertised stars In ac tion, they do not care for the very sound of the word exhibition. It's competition they want. The present trend can lead them Into the condition which now exists in pro tennis. Pro tennis players tour the country .teaming up night after night In what amounts to noth ing more than exhibitions, with the result that their act becomes tire some after one swing around the cir cuit and new big names must be added to stimulate Interest. Such a scheme of things may make profits for a limited time, but eventually will kill the goose which laya the golden egg- FAILS TO CONNECT The meanle tactic of Bad Bob Kru. in the punch and grunt con tests at the armory last night proved too much for Pretty-boy Boesch, the Brooklyn Adonis, as the Oswego grap pier frequently emerged from seem ingly Impossible situations to -turn the tables and take the first and third falls and the match. The first fall gave the local fans a treat as Boesch time and again broke K ruse's famous punishing wrist-locks by sheer strength, a feat that few wrest lers have ever been able to do. After approximately fifteen minutes of go ing. Kruse managed to pin the beau tiful one with a body press and an arm bar for the count, after having severely kicked him In the stomach. Returning for the second, Boesch seemed a bit Indignant over this treatment and both men exchanged nasty looks, arm locks, scissors, blows and grunts before Boesch, ricocheting off the ropes, unleashed his vicious double drop-kick to the Kruse Jowls to put the bad one away, making It one fall each. The third fall had been under way but a short time when Boesch again j attempted his deadly drop-kick, miss-! Ing the Kruse phiz by some feet and I kicking a large chunk out of the Mr, after which he landed flat on his broad back, in no condition to re sist the Boston crab Kruse prompt ly placed upon him to take the third and last fall. The evening's opener was a whirl wind affair of flying punches, mares and cigarette stubs. In which Joe Hubka of Iowa took two straight falls on fouls from Roughhouse Tony Catalano of Italy. The large Italian had some trouble In keeping his hands where they belonged so Ref eree Swede Anderson soundly smack ed him In the puss with decisions In favor of Hubka. The match almost got out of hand several times when the Innocent bystanders objected to the Italian's sportsmanship and threatened to take things Into their own hands. , The excitement started when the son of Italy apparently had some thing, possibly garllck, concealed In his trunks. Whatever It was. It did Hubka's eyes no good whn rubbed thereon, and the two foul decisions resulted. Neither men had wrestled In Medford before, and the bout prov ed exciting enough for most of the fans. The Red Devil Issued a challenge to wrestle Pete Belcastro next Thursday winner-take-all.
