Thursday It^s a classic PHOTOS/NC A&T A dedicated tailgater serves up a batch of hamburgers and hotdogs during a recent N.C. A&T gam. Dedicated ‘gaters wiii brave the eiements for a chance to fire up the griii. Food a big part of football lure By Jeri Young THE CHARLOTTE POST The Carolinas Football Classic is still a week away, but true college football fans have already begun to show then- colors. By the time N.C. A&T and S.C. State take the field Nov. 22 at Ericsson Stadium, a battle of sorts wUl have already taken place. Not on the gridiron, where the Aggies and Bulldogs wiU duke it out. Not even among the two marching bands, who will bat tle each other before, during and after the game. Nope. The real competition begins homs before kick-off when thousands of fans hght griUs and fire wash pots to cook up heaping helpings of filed fish, hamburgers and hot dogs. The competition on the field will be hot. But not as hot as the three-alarm Buffalo wings and chih dished out by thou sands of hungry fans taking over uptown to tailgate. It is not for weaklings. Forget the fancy stuff. Uptown’s finer eateries will be as welcome as ants at a picnic. Forget the imported brew, too. Expensive beer takes a back seat to whatever comes in a keg. And forget the weather fore cast. Real tailgaters don’t use ‘em. Like the mailman, the serious tailgater will brave See HOT page 14A Meatball Subs 1 pound ground beef 1/2 cup soft or dry breadcrumbs 1 egg 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 4 Sub rolls Heat oven to 400 degrees.

Using serrated knife, split each quarter horizontally in half. Pull out 1/4 inch soft bread crumbs from cut sides of tops of focaccia; process in food processor fitted with metal blade. If using buns, use any fresh bread crumbs. Reserve 1/4 cup bread crumbs for veal mixture. In medium bowl, combine veal, bread crumbs, egg salt and pepper, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 1/2 inch thick patties. Place patties in center of grill over medium, ash covered coals. Grill uncovered 12 to 14 minutes until centers of burgers are no longer pink.

Forget the shoes - sports talent in the genes By Ira Dreyfuss THE ASSOCIATED PRESS • Community forum — the Kushite Institute for Wholistic Development will host a discus sion on the Confederate flag at 7 p.m. The discussion will he facil itated by by Ivan Alexander. See AFKXfO CHArajOTTE page 1SA WASHINGTON - Some people are just naturally good at aerobic sports, and researcher Claude Bouchard is closer to figuring out why. He has found a marker - a sign post in the DNA - for a genetic mutation that seems to help some people benefit more from aerobic training. “I think this is the first that, without any doubt, is linked to the responsiveness to training,” said Bouchard, of Laval University, Quebec. Bouchard and his colleagues have mapped a mutation in the CKMM (muscle-specific creatine kinase) gene to a section of one chromosome. The gene is involved in production of a protein used to produce muscle energy. The CKMM protein is less common in the type of muscle fiber involved in aerobic, or endm-ance, activity than it is sprinting or other nonendurance athletics. The researchers drew their genetic samples from a group of 240 adults in a long-running look at how much of exercise abihfy is hereditary. The men and women, who were sedentary at the start, exercised on stationary bikes an average of three times a week for six weeks. The scientists then compared the DNA samples with the results of the exercise program. They published their findings in the American College of Sports Medicine journal. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. They found that the gene mark er accounted for 9 percent to 10 percent of the variance in respon siveness to aerobic training. “If trainabflity is equal to 100 per- See ABILITY page 15A
