Cut down on salt.
Adding salt to your food
could subtract years from
your life. Because in some
people salt contributes to
high blood pressure, a con-
dition that increases your
risk of heart disease.

Okemos' Wolfe Prowls
For College Mat Berth
RICHARD PEARL
Go against the grain.
Was there ever a moment
so full of love,
or a choice so important...
Wolfe doesn't like to lose.
Staff Writer
R
uin Wolfe knows his
chances of winning a
college wrestling
scholarship are running
between slim and none.
"There aren't too many
college teams looking to
recruit fourth-place finishers
in state high school tour-
naments," said the chagrin-
ed Wolfe, a 17-year-old
senior at Okemos High
School.
Not that it couldn't have
been otherwise: "What real-
ly hurt," he said, "was wat-
ching guys I'd beaten during
the season finish 1-2 at
state." Wolfe had beaten the
eventual Michigan Class A
125-pound champion, Keith
Gathing of Benton Harbor,
15-2 in the regular season.
But the Wolfe-Man, as he's
known to fellow Okemos
students, isn't likely to go
into withdrawal. Instead,
he's eyeballing invitations
to become a "recruited walk-
on. If I prove myself, I might
get an athletic scholarship
the next year, they said."
Leading the pack is the
University of Wisconsin-
Madison — a "very strong
possibility, with Michigan
State University still in
there." But MSU is "a little
too close to home and I want
to force myself to grow up. I
don't want to be where I can
run home to my folks every
time there's a problem."
Not that he's a wimp. He
began wrestling in the third
grade and when he
graduates this spring, the
Wolfe-Man will have earned
nine letters — four in wrestl-
ing, three in track (hurdler)
and two in football (as a 145-
pound noseguard).
This wrestling season, he
became Okemos' first
wrestler ever to place in the
state "A" tourney. Vic-
torious in his first 34 mat-
ches, he posted 31 pins
enroute to a 38-3 record
overall, including six
tourney championships. For
that, he was voted the Chief-
tains' most valuable
grappler and team captain.
He's also co-captain of the
track team, running the
high and intermediate
hurdles. He's placed in both
events in the Capital Cities
league.
Keith Froelich, Okemos'
football and track coach,
said Wolfe plays noseguard
because, in the Chieftains'
style of play, the position re-
quires a player who moves
around a lot and wrestlers
are good at that.
"He's extremely ag-
gressive and has great body-
control — he can react and
feel what the offensive
linemen are trying to do
against him and so he can
move to avoid it," Froelich
said. Okemos has been un-
beaten in league play the
last two seasons.
And "we're expecting an
outstanding senior year
from him in track," said
Froelich, noting Wolfe ran
the third leg on last year's
league co-champion 4x400-
