Football Deaths Continue to Rise And Expert Says Increase Will Mount In Next Two Years NEW YORK deaths continued to rise in 1954, and in opinion of.Dr.

Floyd Eastwood of Los Angeles State College will increase even more in the next two years. Dr. Eastwood's 23rd annual report to the American Football Assn. last night showed 25 deaths last season highest since 1949 and almost 7 per cent the average in the 23 years records have been kept. It was he second straight season deaths lave increased.

The report indicated faulty equipment was a major factor rather the increased physical strain of one-platoon football. Most in High Schools In fact, most of the 25 fatalities occurred in high school football, which has retained the two-platoon system. The report listed 19 deaths directly attributable to the sport. Most of the other six fatalities iverf aid to heart conditions, not orig- nating in football play. made to APCA Board of Trustees: 1.

A complete physical examination for players before the season and at midseason. 2. That no boy with a history of heart abnormalities be allowed to play. 3. That every concussion be X- rayed immediately.

4. That players suffering serious concussions be barred from fur- her play. 5. That no institution be allowed It won't be any return to the two-platoon game by far, but will make life a little easier fo the coaches, especially those with thin-manned squads. Recommendations for easing tru sub rule, for strengthening the rul on "sucker" shifts, and changin the kickoff rule to make for more spectacular kicks were made night by the Rules Committee of, the American Football Coaches Assn The three recommendations are ex pected to be approved by an over whelming margin by the coachej themselves today.

Up to Committee Then it will be up to the NCAA Rules Committee, which meets here Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday The NCAA group overruled th coaches two years ago when they tossed out the unlimited substitution two-platoon rule, but is expected to go along with them this time. The new football sub rule woul( allow any player who starts a quarter to re-enter once during the same quarter. A player who doesn't star the quarter may not re-enter. The present rule doas not permit a player to return in the same quarter in which he is withdrawn except for the final four minutes of the second and fourth quarters. The "sucker" shift recommendation was directed at linemen.

A note would be added to the present rule saying "once a lineman has taken his place on line scrimmage and assumed or simulated a three or four-point stance, thereafter there can be no movemenl before the start of play." But if he merely takes a two-point stance with his hands on his knees, he still may move. To permit more "spectacular' 1 kickoffs, a tee may be used to elevate the ball three inches instead of one inch as at present. to play a football game unless physician is on duty on the field. 6. That continued and increasing emphasis on tackling and blocking practice be maintained throughout the season.
