THE $1.98 RAP SESSION
If you want your wife to listen attentively to what you
r ress y°ur remarks to another woman.
The football race in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic
Association which has not generated much excitement
thus far, will heat up quite aTbit this weekend.
The majority of the attention will be focused on two
*be battl® between Livingstone and Virginia
2* l” Richmond and the struggle between Winston
fnrnl?hfiate J}** Hampton in Hampton. Livingstone has
furnished most of the early surprises, with three victories
m as many starts, to stand alone at the top of the Southern
Division with a 1-0 conference record. The Blue Bears will
lewn Saturday if the bubble will last another week when
hey tangle with sixth-place Virginia Union, which has a
l-l mark, both in the league and overall.
Winston-Salem is in a “must” win situation. A setback to
. Hampton would really put pressure on coach Billy Hayes’
efforts to win a third straight Southern Division title. The
Rams are 0-1 in the circuit and l-l overall. Hampton
shares the Northern Division lead with Norfolk State
Each has two victories. Elizabeth City could get in the
thick of the Northern Division battle with an upset over the
Spartans.
What kind of magic wand is coach David Corley waving
up in Salisbury? First-year coach Corley won the CIAA’s
highest honor (Coach of the Year) last spring and he now
appears headed for similar laurels in football. His Blue
Bears are currently leading the conference in team
scoring, they’re second in rushing defense and team total
offense, and they’re third in team passing. Corley’s bunch
is averaging 372 total yards per outing. Their defense has
allowed a mere 46.3 yards in rushing defense. Now you
know why they’re 3-0! Livingstone is scoring at 35 3
points-per-game clip.
The student will go against the teacher when Bill Davis
sends his South Carolina State Bulldogs against Howard
Saturday in Washington, D C. Howard is coached by the
famed Willie Jeffries, who coached Davis in high school.
Davis has also served as Jeffries’ assistant at Maryland
State, and at South Carolina State. He succeeded Jeff as
head coach when “coach” left South Carolina State for a
similar position at Wichita State.
The state of Texas deserves plaudits for passing
legislation that requires agents to register before making
contaet with athletes. The law, which goes in effect
October 1, is designated to “protect athletes from being
influenced by agents who promise them large sums of
monqi to sign contracts prematurely.” California and
Oklahoma have adopted similar regulations.
Harlem Globetrotters will not win any laurels for their
alleged treatment of two of their mainstays. Freddy
“Curly” Neal and Geese Ausbie. Neal and Ausbie are
taking their grievances to court. A veteran of 21 years and
a former Johnson C. Smith standout, “Curly” has been
offered a substantial cut in pay. Ausbie was released
without former notice.
SUDDEN THOUGHT - If baseball owners really wanted
to stop the widespread use of cocaine among their athletes
they would see to it that no player gets a guaranteed,
long-term contract without agreeing to urinalysis tests.
Second baseman Tommy Herr and first baseman Jack
Clark give the St. Louis Cardinals the best 1-2 punch in the
National League. Bet you thought it was Atlanta’s Dale
Murphy and Bob Homers!
New York Giants teammates have nicknamed their
rookie defensive back Elvis Patterson “Toast” because he
has been “burned” so frequently. Minnesota Vikings
coach Bud Grant says a good coach needs “a patient wife,
a loyal dog and a great quarterback! Not necessarily in
that order.”
Did you know that major league baseball’s champion
ship series begins in the park of the American League East
champion Tuesday, October 8? Or that the National
League divisions champions join the action a day later?
If the World Series goes to seven games, play will
continue through October 27. NBC-TV will televise both
league championship series and ABC-TV will televise the
World Series, which begins Saturday, October 19.
Obviously very bitter about his recent release from the
Dallas Cowboys, halfback Ron Springs says, “I would just
like to wind up with a team that appreciates talent and
doesn’t worry about personalities.”
Something new has been added to the game of football.
Preachers of the National Baptist Convention have
pledged pulpit support to the first Atlanta Football Classic.
The game, which will be held at Atlanta Fulton Sta
dium, is being staged for African Famine Relief,
Saturday, November 9.
It will pit Grambling against Alabama State in p
Southwestern Athletic Conference contest and Albany
State against Morris Brown in a Southern Intercol
legiate Athletic Conference game. A crowd of 50,000 is
expected ,

Conditioning Helps Athletes Prevent Eariy Minis
By Ron Ferrell
Duke Medical Center
Special To The Post
Durham - The opening of high
school and cpllege sports seasons
means good news for fans of fall
athletic events, but it can also spell
bad news for some athletes.
“Players often encounter small,
nagging injuries during the early
part of the year,” said Dr. Frank H.
Bassett III, professor of orthopaedic
surgery, assistant professor of ana
tomy and physician for Duke Uni
versity athletic teams. “Many of
these can result from the increased
intensity and change in practice
routine.”
First-time athletes may be par
ticularly vulnerable to injuries and
illnesses related to poor condition
ing. Dr. Deborah L. Squire, asso
ciate in pediatrics and head of
Duke’s pediatric sports medicine
clinic, said many men and women
turn out for a sport as a means of
getting in shape.
"Coaches and physicians alike
need to promote getting into shape in j
order to take part in sports,” she j
said.
Some coaches still practice the old
fashioned method of working play- |
ers hard from the very beginning to !
determine how tough they are. This
is dangerous, Squire believes, es
pecially for those not in condition.
The effects of intensive workouts
will not be immediately evident, but
the cumulative fluid loss begins to
show after about three days. Squire
warns athletes to weigh in before
and after each practice and to grad

ually replace each pound lost with a
pint of liquid.
Coaches and trainers should also
encourage players to drink any time
there is a break in the action, Squire
said. Dehydration is a major con
tributor to heat illness or heat
stroke, she said.
High school and college athletes
often try to gain or lose weight in a
hurry. Squire said either can lead to
problems.
Exercising in a sauna-type suit is
still a common practice among ath
letes trying to lose weight in a hurry.
There is a rapid weight loss, Squire
said, but most of the loss is water
and deteriorating muscle, not fat.
Such rapid reduction can lead to
serious dehydration.
“Quick weight-loss diets never
work,” Squire said. “The best way
to lose weight is the traditional way
— follow a sound nutritional diet
combined with a regular exercise
program.
“I don't think any diet program
that excludes an exercise compon
ent is an effective one," she added.
Traditional coaching methods in
cluded little about nutrition, condi
tioning or treatment of injuries.
Coaches and players alike have
more information available to them
today showing the proper link be
tween nutrition and proper condi
tioning.
Growing athletes, particularly
those in high school, need to main
tain a balanced diet, Squire said. A
diet including 55 percent carbohy
drates, 15 percent protein and 30 to
35 percent fat maintained in con- r
junction with a regular exercise
program can help any athlete get
into and stay in shape.
Many high school athletes are still
growing and may require more ca
lories than college athletes,
Squire said, but the proper balance j
can be maintained while increasing
the amount.

Auto Repair
Fraud
The average person will spend
many thousands of dollars on the
maintenance and repair of automo
biles in his or her lifetime. While
most businessmen are honest, you
must protect yourself from those
who are not. There is no substi
tute for having a trusted compe
tent mechanic examine your car.
In repair schemes a mechanic
charges for repairs and services
which are not performed. One ex
ample is “silver streaking” of a
transmission. This includes telling
the customer a new or rebuilt
transmission has been installed
when in fact, the bottom of the old
transmission has merely been
sprayed with silver paint and no
work has been done. The customer is
then charged several hundred
dollars. This type of practice can be
done to other areas of your car such
as wheel alignment, balijoints, oil
changes and tune-ups.
sometimes the mechanic suggests
repairs or services are necessary
when they are. in fact, totally
unnecessary Salting a transmission
is an example in which the me
chanic secretly places metal filings
in the pan at the bottom of your
transmission only to convince you
that you need expensive transmis
sion repairs. This type of scheme is j
easily adapted to work involving any
par! of your car.
Consider the following:
For major repairs, get more than
one opinion for both the need and the
price.
Insist that replaced parts are re
turned.
Know your mechanic
Obtain a written estimate and
insist any additional repairs be
made only after your authorization.
