CINCINNATI. Jan. 6.-Al-
though football fatalities in
creased during the 1858 season,
injuries were fewer and at the
same time more severe.
These facts were brought out
yesterday in two reports pre-
sented to the American Football
Coaches Association.
DR.. Floyd Eastwood Of Los
Angeles State College. who since
1882 has headed a committee
which studies football fatalities
and their causes, reported 19
deaths due directly or indirectly
to football in 1858. The previous
year only 10 fatalities were re-
ported.
OF the 10 deaths, only two
were attributed to intercollegiate
football and DR.. Eastwood
pointed out that the trend, over
a period of years. has been down.
ward. He found mo conclusive
evidence" two-platoon or single
platoon football has any effect
upon fatalities.
Another and more exhaustive
study was carried out by Ken
Hawk of Michigan Tech on be-
half of the National Athletic
Trainers Association. Studying
injuries of all kinds. rather than
fatalities. Hawk concluded there
were not so many injuries in
1853 one-platoon football but
the effects were more serious.

to retain the one-platoon sys-

and 257 wanted the present
regulations liberalized to some
extent.
Thinking Changed.
1T just shows how our think
ing has changed" Lou said. "A
year ago the coaches were 8 to l
in favor of two platoons. Now
only 189 want that style and
SGT want the single-platoon plan
or some liberalization Of it,"
Some coaches said they voted
as they did because they felt
there was no chance for return
of the two-platoon setup and
they wanted to salvage what
they could be getting more lib
eral substitutions.
But Little said he didn't be-

RICHMOND. Va, Jan. g.
Only the formality of a meeting
remains to make Richmond a

ternational League.
The city can thank four of its
citizens-two of whom mort
gagged their homes to raise funds
for putting it in business in

The four member syndicate
came up with 100000 last night
shortly before the International
Leagues midnight deadline for
the city to find funds to bring
Parker Field up to triple-A speci-
fications. The field, made avail
able by the city, will be converted
to seat between 10000 and $4,000
spectators.

Veteran Picks Proper Time
To BowIHis First 400 Set

: Another notable performer in
the Greenway Commercial
League last night was Sam
Shreve Of the Fusco team, who
rolled a game Of 181, which
also figures to pay of In the
tournament. His set of 398,
plus a 48 handicap. gave him a
tournament tally of 446.
Shreve's brilliant game re-
called his performance on the
night of November II, 1948, at
the Greenway Bowl, when the
Winchester Packard team of the
District Major League rolled a
game of 797 which still stands as
a world record. Shreve was
high man on that occasion
with a count of 1873.
If any more Washington bowl
ers care to enter the United
States Classic to be rolled Fri
day and Saturday at Torrington,
Mass. they'd better hurry. The
National Duckpin Congress an
nounced today that 1876 entries
have been received, which is
three over the previous record,
and that only eight more bowl

With a field of IA the prize
money would hit $6,434, with

Study Shows Football Injuries
Are Fewer but More Severe

every phase Of football injuries
so completely that he's offering
S. to any one who can ask a
question he can't answer. But
his basic figures are these:
The 1853 season showed a 5.4
per cent decrease in the number
of football injuries reported.
But, with fewer players on the
squads than there were in 1852,
the statistics reveal the number
of days the players were dis
abled was up l per cent. The
man-game hours lost were up
7/10 of per cent and 3 per cent
more players lost game time.
Hawk contends the severity
of injuries in relation to the
size Of the squad is more signi-
ficant than the number of in
jurieS.
The two studies agree on one
thing-tackling a runner is the
most dangerous phase Of foot
ball. Tackling was the cause OF
about one-third of the fatalities
reported to Eastwood's commit
tee over a period Of years. 1t
also was the No. l item in the
rate of injuries studied by Hawk.
but it ranked only fourth on
the basis Of severity.
Clipping was the cause of the
injuries that kept the players
out of action the longest time
and, while the tackler was hurt
oftener. the ball carrier who
was tackled usually was kept
out of action longer.

Mrs. Magee personally is in
favor Of local ordinances as a
means Of enforcing removal of

An ordinance helps to discour-
age "under-the-counter" sales
and bootlegging operations, she
explained.
She pointed to an ordinance
passed In Cleveland several years
ago which she says has proved
very successful.
Mrs. Magee's interest in the
comic book situation stems in

Lightning Rod Is
Tree Insurance

Don't pick a tree for shelter
during a summer Storm-not
even If it's an umbrella tree.
No tree is immune to lightning.
The taller the tree, the greater
the chance that it may get
tagged during an electrical storm.
The best storm insurance for
trees is the lightning rod, prop
erly installed and grounded. In
stallation calls for experience. It
is advisable to let an expert put
one up.
If trees are clustered, the tall
est ones should be rodded. Trees
around them will be shielded to
some degree because of the
"cone of protection" provided by
a rodded tree. The taller the
tree, the wider its cone Of pro-
lection,
