Intramural sports injuries are )t preventable, according to Dr. aul Akers, director of USC's >orts Medicine program for the tramural and varsity sports ograms. "Only one student that was in ired could have possibly been ilped by wearing a helmet like le varsity do when they play, ut as far as the wearing of pads id other (protective) equipment concerned, no, 1 wouldn't adjcate that." However, he said injuries 3uld be eliminated if everyone articipating in intramural sports ould simply play by the rules. "The answer to this problem is imple. One of the things that 1 /ould say to the students here at Carolina is that they abide by the ules. Unfortunately, they lon't," said Akers. Akers, who deals with varsity tnd intramural players, says the >roblem cannot be solved with >ads and would not advocate uch a program.
