Linda Robinson of Mars Hill has been named women's basketball and softball coach at Pembroke State University and began her duties Thurs day. Robinson, 23, graduated cum laude with a B.S. in physical education from Mars Hill College in 1978 and earned her M.A. from Appalachian State in 1979. "I am pleased to have the opportunity to be a part of women's athletics and the athletic department at Pem broke State," said Robinson. "It is a pleasure to join PSU's fine faculty and administra tion." Robinson comes to Pem broke State with plenty of basketball experience. At Mars Hill, she was selected as the top woman college basket ball athlete for the state of North Carolina in 1977 and was awarded the prestigious June P. Galloway Scholarship Award by the NCAIAW (North Carolina Association of Inter collegiate Athletics for Women). Ttie award is based on the playing ability and leadership by an individual, a community and institution. She was also the first female athlete to make the all-state basketball team all four years in college as selected by the COACH LINDA ROBINSON i "MOTOR COOLING ENGINEERING" BOB FUREY'S RADIATOR SERVICE * SPECIAL BUILT RADIATORS FOR - RACING ENGINES t INDUSTRIAL UNITS 2 RADIATOR CLEANING ?

She was Mars Hill's captain in her junior and senior years and had a career average of 18 points and nine rebounds per game. "We're delighted to have such a fine person and one with such a good knowledge of basketball for our new coach," said Ann Webb, coor dinate of women's athletics at PSU. Robinson also will be a lec turer in the physical education department. "One of my goals is to help Pembroke State University's women's basketball team ad vance to the A LAW playoffs next season," Robinson said. "After I get to know the players, see what their goals are, and we set our goals for the coming year, I don't see any reason why women's basketball at Pembroke State will not have another fine year in 1979-80. "It's like a dream come true to have the opportunity to be the head of PSU's women's cage team. Ever since I first went to college, I knew I wanted to coach and teach and that's where I set my goals." Football Injuries It's that time of year again; the annual fall rites of the American male. The game of running, jumping, tackling, falling, bruises, cuts, sprains, pains - collectively known as football ? is played everywhere by everybody from "peewees" to "pros." While most of the injuries aren't serious there are some things you can do to help pro tect yourself and make your participation in the game more enjoyable.

That is to pro tect your health. Second, proper physical conditioning, getting in shape, hardens the body and allows you to play longer without tir ing, helping to prevent injury. Coaches and team physicians agree that many injuries oc cur when a player is tiring and less alert. A minimum of three weeks exercising and condi tioning is recommended prior to the first game of the season. Third, precautions should be taken ?** ost the extreme heat of the early days of prac tice, usually during the "dog days" of August. Many teams now schedule their hot weather workouts in the early morning and late afternoon to avoid the hottest time of the day. Water should always be available during these ses sions because it is necessary to replace the body fluids lost through sweating. Salt is also important to replace, either through salt tablets or by salting food heavily during meals. One of the most important reasons these precautions are necessary is to prevent heat stroke which can be extremely dangerous. Heat stroke occurs when the body's cooling mechanism, the evaporation of sweat from the skin, ceases to function. When this occurs, the body temperature can rise as much as 7.4 degrees (from a normal of 96.6 to 106) in 20 minutes and can cause kidney, liver, or brain damage. Football can be an en joyable game but proper con ditioning is important to enjoy the game to its fullest.
