Football Heat Deaths
Preventable, Says AMA
CHICAGO—Heat deaths among
high school and college football i
pla>ers could he a thing of the past •
if coaches and players follow rccom- i
mendations made at a meeting here ,
recently. I
When football practice opens in i
a few weeks, the first hot da >s
could be dangerous for players un- i
less precautions to avoid heat ill- '
ness are taken now. a panel of |
medical and sports authorities I
agreed. j ,
Heat illness last year caused the I i
deaths of one college football pla.cr i
and four, possibly ti\c. high school
players. It contributed to "close i
calls" and injuries of many more ;
The tive-man panel, appearing at i
a meeting sponsored bv the |
American Medical Association's ]
Committee on the Medical Aspects
of Sports, agreed that:
1. Prospective football players i
should get out of air-condttioncd i
surroundings now and start getting
accustomed to vigorous exercise in
hot weather.
2. Coaches should abandon the
old practice of withholding water
from athletes during practice Fail
ure to replenish water and salt lost
through perspiration increases the
chances for heat exhaustion or heat
stroke.
3. Athletes should be acclimated
to hot weather by carefully grad
uated practice schedules. At least
the first five da>s of practice should
he devoted to non-contact workouts.
J. Both coaches and players
should be alert for signs of heat ill
ness. such as lethargy. stupor, awk
wardness. or unusual fatigue

agreed »ith Dr Combs "Any
plavcr who loses more than three
per cent of his bod> weight in a
practice session is not getting enough
salt and water." he said.
Excessive salt and water loss can
result in heat stroke, an extremely
dangerous condition. Dr R>an
pointed out Anyone can suffer heat
stroke if he is active in hot weather
and neglects to replace salt and
water lost bv perspiration The re
sult is a breakdown in the sweating
mechanism and collapse
If prompt measures aren't taken
to get the heat stroke victim cooled

—sometimes within 15 minutes.

Ass'n Notes
The Philadelphia 76ers have I
a softhall ifam this summer i
which is drawing large crowds 1
throughout the Phillv area. |
They recently dropped a 1312 J
decision to the Phillv Eagles J
Football team.
Special rules prevail for their 1
sames —slo .v pitching, no bunt i
ing and no stealing. Hal Greer 1
is a defensive stalwart at third. !

Ron Reed of the Detroit Pis- |
tons threw the National Guard
into great consternation. He
showed up at Camp Grayling
for two weeks of duty and
when they asked him for his
shoe size, he told them 15.
It seems they don't have
shoes that large in the National
Guard, so Reed drilled in sneak
ers.
The Boston Celtics' Sam
Jones recently returned from
four Central American coun
tries where he gave clinics over
a period of 11 days.
Sam was impressed with a
little basketball hotbed in Pan
ama called California. "It's
populated by Indians none
over 5 feet tall. Man, I felt
like Wilt Chamberlain there.
And Golfito, Costa Rica, is one
of the biggest banana shipping
centers in the world. But would
you believe I couldn't find a
ripe one there:"
Now that he is back home,
San isn't taking it easy during
I the off-season. Last week, after
| knocking off a busy day in his
j insurance business, Sam played
18 holes of golf and then joined
a team in Foxboro, Mass. for
> seven innings of softball.

Leading the pack in conten

from Nashville, Tennessee, and
Washington. D. C. But there are
many promising young players
who are capable of stifling
Bessie's ambitions for the No.
1 ranking in the ATA. Here
are • few:
Christine Wallace, of Detroit,
has given Bessie trouble in
previous encounters. She has
been making the big tourna

and has definitely improved
her game.

Wimbledon Champ Billie Jean
Moffitt King.
Sylvia Hooks, of Detroit and
Central State, has been one of
the top women's singles players
in the ATA for several years.
Though her strokes are ex
tremely strong and sound, a
lack of constant competition
and practice this year may ham
per her.
Ann Koger, of Baltimore, is
presently the Maryland 16-and
under champion, has done ex
tremely well in several impor
tant USLTA-recognized tourna
ments this year.
Much interest is being gen
erated for this year's ATA na
tionals at Central State College,
since it will mark celebration
of the 50th anniversary of the
American Tennis Association.
