When a special research proj
ect is inaugurated at the Univer
sity of Oregon in September to
study the effects of competitive
athletics on boys between the
ages of 8 and 12 years, Medford
city schools will be among par
ticipants. But the program will
be nothing new for the Medford
school system. The school's phy
sical education department has
for a number of years kept sta
tistics on football injuries in its
grade school athletic program.
And only last year a study was
inaugurated in which athletes
are being compared with non-athletes.

tory.
Those with perfect scores in
first-round competition in the
all-gauge event included 12
Class AA shooters, one Class
A shooter and two professionals.
FEEL NO HARM
Medford school officials ad
mit some prejudice but they do
not believe study will show the
local competitive athletics setup
harmful to youngsters in the
grades. They say that, if harm is
shown, they'll be the first to ad
mit it and to make the necessary
corrections and adjustments.
Medford schools, under supervi
sion of Lee Ragsdale, operate a
controlled program. Sports are
geared to boys of the same age
level, size of fields is cut down,
time periods are shortened and
substitution for the most part is
liberal.
TWO REQUIRE DOCTOR
Football is the only sport
which has drawn much criti
cism. Injury records have
been kept over the' past eight
years. They show only two in
juries serious enough to have
required a doctor. Ragsdale
reported. One youth had his
wrist stepped on (with tennis
shoes) . and broken. Another
SEVERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Consideration in the U of O
conducted research will be given
to comparative strength, body
structure, personality, motor
performance, physiological ma
turity, academic achievement
and mental aptitude. In the
Medford study begun last year
by coaches and principals, youth
ful athletes and non-athletes of
the same body build and same
scholastic standing were paired.
The university project with
trained testers and expert su
pervision may encompass fea
tures of Medford's own pro
gram. Where it is short of aims
of the local plan, the Medford
PE administration intends to
fill in the gap. -
The UO project will be car
ried out over a period of years.
Funds are b e i n g provided
through the university. South
em Oregon college and the Ath
letic institute. Funds for strictly I
local study are from athletic j
gate Teceipts and not from tax j
moneys. For- the project the
Medford schools offer some-!
thing many other systems in the
state do not possess" an athletic
program on the fifth and sixth
grade level.
