THE DAILY TAR HEEL Wednesday, November 2, 1966 Page 6 Fat Fellows Out; Swift Gridders In Fat has become "a nega tive business" on the gridiron as coaches look more and more ; for the speedy, shifty athlete. Putting the finger on fat is , becoming precise. Players no ; longer can lug excess blubber i around tlte football field with : out a coach knowing about it. Calipers, the instruments us- ed by draftsmen to measure ' distances and diameters are being used by coaches here to measure fitness and fatness. 5 A coach can consult his cali 'per measurements and know the fat content of a player's body. To know the fat content ; is to know something about the t player's physical condition be cause an active player has Uess body fat. Calipers are used here to measure the thickness of the ?skin and the fat beneath th skin in three key spots: the back of the upper arm; above the shoulder blade; and at the waist-line. These three "skinfold" mea surements give a fairly ac curate estimate of how much of fa player's total weight is flab by fat. UNC coach Jim Hickey has caliper measurements to back iup his early season statement that his Tar Heels reported for ifall practice in the best phy sical condition of any squad since hte's been coach here. Calipers were used on each player when practice ended last spring and again when practice resumed this fall. The Spring measurements were lised to assign players a sug gested weight at which to re port for fall practice, f With the exception of two players, everyone returned -- ""Nrs STAMM Stephen Boyd.

Dewalt, team physician, explains that no more than 15 pounds of fat should be measured in every 100 pounds of total body weight. Some of this year's Tar Heels, particulary those in the backfield, measured in this fall with only four or five pounds of fat for each 100 pounds of. bo dy weight. "These players," Dr. De Walt declared, "are in an ideal situation as far as the cardio vascular system (the heart and blood vessels) are concerned. "If they could maintain this throughout life, their chances of cardiovascular accidents . would be lessed considerably." Medically, heaviness is not nearly as important as fatness. With ttfc skinfold tests, doc tors can pinpoint the fact that a player is not just heavy but fat. With caliper measurements, a player can be shown that a definite proportion .of his weight is unneeded and a de triment to his health. From a coachfs standpoint, the caliper measurements are an incentive for players to stay in shape. "With the short time allotted for training in the fall," says Dr. De Walt, "there's not much time for a boy to be conditioned He's got to stay conditioned." From a team physician ' s standpoint, measuring fat con tent may help spot the players most likely to be injured. Play ers in thte best physical con dition may be less likely to be hurt. "We're going to use routine caliper measurements to try and correlate a relationship between boys in poor physical condition and significant ath letic injury," Dr. DeWalt ex plains. "If this correlation exists, this would be pointed out to the coaches, and boys in poor physical shape would be rested more than thte others." Finding out if a correlation really exists between fat con tent and injury will take from three to five years. Meanwhile, beginning next spring, football players here will be subjected to another test to determine their physi cal conditions. - They, will be given - a pre scribed amount of exercise and then checked to determine how long it takes for thte pulse and heart rates to return to nor mal. With the caliper measure ments and the recovery-time tests, we should know some thing about the players' gen eral conditioning and the con dition of their muscles,' says Dr. DeWalt.

March ing songs blared and war films flashed on the wall. It was a Halloween "happen ing for Robert Cook," staged in a coffee house by some youthful supporters of the Yale sociology teacher who is running , for Congress as - an independent, mainly as a cri tic of the Viet Nam war. At one point, three long -haired young men dressed to resemble Special Forces sol diers charged in, picked out three "Viet Cong" in the au dience, and pretended to exe cute them. A clown dressed as a cook drove off the Green Berets by tossing pies. Then a cow girl, saying she was from Texas, challenged the cook to a duel and received a pie in the face. There were dancing girls waving American flags, men dressed as monks and carry ing incense, and a ballerina leaping about. PEWTER T. L. KEMP Jewelry 135 E.

DTH Photo by Jock Lauterer With F5s have decided to invest heavily in the larger, more expensive, version ot the A4 now in wide use in Viet Nam. Defense Department plan ners, hqwever, have ruled the F5 suitable for modernization of Air Forces of U. S. allies and have sent the plane under military assistance programs to Iran, Ethiopia, South Ko rea, South Viet Nam, the Phil ippines, Nationalist China, Thailand, Greece, Morocco and Turkey. In addition, the Air Forces of Spain, Canada, Norway and Holland have decided to pur chase the F5 on their own, choosing it over various ver sions of the A7. Some industry sources, not ing that 1,200, of the F5s are now on order and 22 are be ing produced monthly at the Northrop Corp.'s f. Hawthorne, Calif., plant, believes Secre: tary of Defense Robert S. McNamara is using the tiny plane as a safety reserve. "It's the most widely dis tributed airplane in the world although the United States doesn't buy any," one source said. "The Air Force has a real ace in the hole in that they can fair back on the F5 pro duction," he added. "They're now committed to the A7 and F4 but they can get the F5 anytime they want to." The F5, also known as the "Skoshi Tiger" or Fighter," has a range of about 1,350 miles, a top speed of 1,000 MPH and can deliver up to 6,200 pounds of payload. McNamara told Congress re cently that the F5's relatively short range and weak payload rule it out for U. S. Forces. But the secretary said the plane is suitable for allied forces for these reasons: It is easy to fly. Its maintenance cost is low and its reliability is high.

The UNC Chess Club will meet Gardnei t Needs New Voice By LOU HECKLER Special To The DTH Fourth district congression al hopeful Jim Gardner said Monday night it is time to have congressman in Wash ington who is "in tune with views of the district." Gardner and incumbent Har old Cooley were interviewed by a panel of newsmen on University of North Carolina Educational Televi sion's "North Carolina News Conference." Gardner was asked if he would have voted for the re cent Medicare, Higher Wage, and Higher Education Bills. He said that he would not have, because, "one of the worst problems we now face is growing federal control in every way of our daily lives." Cooley, 69, is seeking the congressional seat for the 17th consecutive time. How long does he want to stay there? "I wouldn't want to decide that," he replied. Gardner said he did not envision running for 16 terms as Cooley has, because he is "not a politician." He said he was "concerned" over things happening in politics today. Cooley was asked if he was victorious this year would he run again in 1968. "I have no plans for the fu ture at all," he said. Cooley said he was not a "Johnson Democrat," but was Conference (Continued From Page 1) Lopez, the only U.

He had a similar meeting with Pazhwak earlier in the day. Lopez said the conference would first take up "the prob lem of Viet Nam" and sec ond "the larger problems of establishing enduring peace in Asia on the basis of the de claration of peace and pros perity for the Pacific area" which came out of the Manila meeting. The proposal for an all -Asian conference on Viet Nam was first advanced several months ago by the Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia, who make up the Association of Southeast Asia (ASA). Marcos has been a leader in promot ing the idea. Thant, asked about the pos sibility of such a conference at a news conference Sept. 19, said that because of the politi cal differences among the Asian nations he did not think it was realistic. fUKn f pr PIEDiVlOMT AIRL-UHJES ROUTE OF THE PACEMAKERS from 7-11 p.m. in Roland Parker III.

In a like manner, Gardner was asked if he was a Gold water Republican and answer ed, "I'm running on Jim Gard ner's philosophy of govern ment." The incumbent, and current Chairman of the House Agri culture Committee, was asked if he would accept campaign contributions from a lobbyist. "I have taken none, nor have I been offered any," he answered. Would Gardner, a Rocky Mount businessman, have vot ed against any bills that Cool ey specifically voted for?
