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.
