Heck, Jonathan F.
Journal of Athletic Training, v31 n1 p31-37 Jan-Mar 1996
Reports a study that examined the incidence of spearing between two high school football seasons, one before and one after a rule change banning spearing. Reviews of 18 game films of a New Jersey team from 1975 and 1990 indicated that, overall, the rule change did not have a favorable impact on the incidence of spearing. (SM)
