High School Officials Map Campaign To Cut Injuries In Football
CHICAGO UP High School athletic officials are drafting a safety campaign to reduce football injuries among school players. NFHS Secretary H V Porter said the football committee focuses on properly fitted pads helmets and face masks. The drive teams with manufacturers dental and medical groups to keep the game safe without removing its fundamentals. 1955 deaths from high school football dropped to six from 12 in 1954, but serious injuries remain a concern. A 1953 survey of 32 100 boys at 640 schools in 10 states found 739 injuries needing medical care. Those wearing rubber tooth protectors were largely immune to chipped teeth, while masks reduced injuries less consistently. The study notes broken teeth often come from head or chin blows, where masks are less effective. Transparent masks offering near full face coverage yielded the greatest injury reduction. Wearing rubber mouth guards and some masks is being recommended in the 1956 rules, but mandatory use won’t be decided for 1956 due to uncertainties about protection levels. The safety campaign will stress tackling technique and fundamentals to reduce injuries.
