PAGE FOUR Today's Sports Parade By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (IP)—There were 19 football deaths due to direct gridiron injury last season and yet only one out of every six players still is given every possible protection. The greatest number of those direct injury deaths, 16 of the overall total, were caused by blows to the head. Yet under the guise of economy only 100,000 players out of a grand total of 660,000 players wore the latest safety hel mets. • These figures come from John G. Havey, research di rector of the Wilson Sporting Goods Co. “And I certainly wouldn’t want anybody to think this is merely a sales talk,’’ he said. “All of us in the equipment business are striving for greater protective qualities in our products.’’ SHOCK-ABSORBING MATERIALS As an example, Havey put three years of intensive work into his latest helmet in creating a "shock-resistant’’ head gear. The newest development is in shock-absorbing ma terials which will absorb much of the force of a blow. “We have conferred with brain specialists regarding the type of damage sustained by the head,’’ he explained. “They charted for us the weak points of the skuli so that we could determine where the greatest padding was need ed.” A completely safe helmet is impossible to design, ac cording to Havey, because “it would be too bulky” ard might serve as a menace to the neck. Thus the accent has been put on shock-absorbing ma terials for both the interior and exterior of the helmet. RECOIL SHOCK REDUCED “We have developed what we call ‘slow recovery’ ma terials,” he revealed. ‘These are materials which compress slowly and snap back slowly. This reduces the recoil shock, much like a boxer rolling with a punch or drawing back your hands slowly when you catch a ball.” The face is the most delicate part of the body and the greatest number of football injuries, not necessarily fatal but painful and serious, occur to the mouth, cheeks, nose and eyes. Thus the face mask is coming info wider use. “There are any number of varities cf masks,” Havey says, “and the time may come when all players will have to wear them. Right now, as far as high school players are concerned, frtore than 20 per cent of the competitors wear them and about 80 per cent of the high schools have them available for their players.” No amount of research is ever going to completely eliminate the footbail injury and the occasional death. But they can be reduced tremendously by a more intensi- MR. FARMER! S-m-o-o-t-h Running Last spring and summer your farm machinery did you a big favor by planting and harvesting your crop.

The Town of Benson retains the right at the conclusion of the lease to remove from the property any recreational facilities installed with town money. The town also protects the education board from any labi lity in any damage suits arising from the use of the proposed re ' creation park. Benson School children are giv en a priority on the use of the re creation park, which will be under the direction of the Benson School principal during the school months and under the supervision of the proposed Benson Recreation Com mission during the summer months. The lease was requested at the December meeting of the education board by Benson Mayor J. Roscoe Barefoot, who outlined the town’s plans for appointing a recreation commission of leading citizens to direct the development of a recrea tion center which would be o fgreat benefit to the school as well as the community. The town could not legally spend its money for recreational equip ment for a park uness it had a lease or held title to the property in question, explained Mayor Bare foot.
