Doctors Seek to Ban Kickoffs in H.S. Football Games

And at Wrigley Field...

Only one end zone will be used at Wrigley Field on Saturday for the Illinois-Northwestern game because of safety concerns, the Big Ten announced Friday.

Whichever team is on offense Saturday will head toward the west [left] end zone.The east end zone is feet away from the right-field wall, and although there is padding, there was still concerns that injuries could take place. Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald had said he would have different game plans for the different end zones to avoid the possibility of injury.
