ATLANTA. Ga. IAPI -— Re- ceding racial troubles havel brought hopes that the U.S.; South has passed through crisis in the segregation strug-l gle a century after the Civil‘ War reached its bitter climax.

Both white and Negro spokes- men believe that the worst of; the South‘s racial conflict is} over. There is a new sense of} optimism. ‘

Ian Macnab of Toronto said here.

Speaking to 500 doctors at-‘ tending an Ontario chapter

meeting of the College of Gen- eral Practice of Canada. Dr. Macnab said it would be safer In some cases for players not to wear protective gear.

He said three university stu- dents in Kingston alone broke their necks because of face masks on their helmets during the 1961 season.

The players were knocked (tat on their faces after a tackle but their bodies cart-wheeled. said Dr. Macnab. "The helmet acted as a sort of wheel and. as they rolled over on their heads. the back of the helmet snapped their necks." DANGER DREADFUL

The Toronto doctor also said that shoulder pads could causel serious injuries and if highl school students started wearingl spikes. tihen the danger wast dreadful.

He suggested equipment be safety precaution and not an‘ offensive danger.

Another Toronto doctor Hoyle Campbell. sai some injuries occur in high school because players are not in condition.

In answer to a question. he said high school sports involv- ing bodily contact should not be discontinued because of injury risk. Sports are an outlet for the tremendous energy of stu- dents. he said.

In 1963. for instance. the sales tax on building materials tends to increase fire loss reports proportionately.
