Jim Hunt should work in Holly- be
wood.
He would be great at make-up at
and possibly even better at cos- mt
tumes. His specialty no doubt ret
would be horror films. ba
But anyone who knows any- any
thing about Michigan sports real- Cou
izes that the Wolverines could not tor
afford to let him go west. tio
And so his abilities are restrict- be
ed to the Michigan training room
h where for the last 20 years he has
f .been taping "Mummies" that play Jun
football; masking "Frankensteins" nes
that play goalie; and even invent- 'roo
ing a few characters of his own. put

Hunt actually did go into teach-
but eventually the call of

urned to Minnesota where he

Spears. He came to Michigan
eral years later in 1946. I
Since that time, Hunt has seenj

As he points out, "The big word

Penguins Fly High
ITTSBURGH - Goalie Hank
sen, playing his first game in
weeks, turned in his first shut-
of the season as the aggressive
tsburgh Penguins tripped F6hila-
phia 5-0 in a National Hockey
gue game yesterday.
illy Dea, Ab McDonald, Bob
laboug, Keith McCreary and Art
atton scored as the Penguins
faS er
the first to introduce heel cups
and some of the ear iest fiber
glass face masks were c'veloped
on this campus."
Recently this improvising has
involved the development and use
of a resorbant plastic, Insulite,
rather than the traditionally used
hard niaterial.
As Hunt described it, "You
could hold a piece in your hand
and stop the hardest pitch any
pitcher could throw."
But he was quick to add, "This
does not mean that we a r e
abandoning fiber glass," pointing
out two fiber glass goalie masks
which were just being made.
Not only does Hunt take care
of make-up and costumes, but
he is also responsible for keeping
the cast in first rate playing con-
dition. And when they do get
hurt. that too is his responsibil-
ity, and he holds the final au-
thority on whether a player is
able , Oreturn to the line-up.
'My Decision'
"If there isn't a doctor around
then it's my decision. Otherwise
I consult with them, but the
player is my responsibility until
he goes to the hospital."
Discussing the relative serious-
ness of various injuries,' Hunt ex-
plained' that spectators are most
often aware of the problems con-
cerning knee injuries-since many
key players have had to sit out a
year because of a torn cartilage
or a pulled ligament.
"However, knee injuries are not
the most serious. Players who in-
jure their knees are brought to
experts and only their play is af-
fected. It's the head and spinal
cord injuries which are most
damaging and those are the ones
M'
M1Tedicine
with which we are most con-.
cerned."
But the Wolverines' trainingr
room is not a Hollywood studio
nor is it as well staffed. Mich-
igan. like the vast majority of
universities, has a severely under-
'imanned training staff.
Short-handed
Hunt noted this grim fact and
related that "we are very short-a
handed here due to a shortage of
funds. There seems to be an
amazing lack of awareness by the
adiinistrators. They simply do
not ask for more trainers."
But he admitted that the prob-
lem goes more deeply than a mere
amcmnistrative oversight. "Right
nw there is a serious lack of
ciaalified trainers. For one thing
nobuay trains them. The only
reai way to learn now is through
years of experience.
"But we are beginning to get
bete education for prospective
t ainers. In fact we are now teach-
ing classes at this University."
Hunt went on to speak briefly
about the conditions present in
t n professional leagues. "There
is a completely different atmos-
phere in training in the pros and
ac a university. Here we care
&juut the player as an individual
tnsL. There they place all the
einhasis on playing -ability.
"I! a player gets hurt we will
do all we can to help him recover
e, en if he cannot play football
for us. In the pros if a player
ca .' play, they will pay him and
re'ease him."
jim Hunt, like his Hollywood
ccu Ft erparts, is a man behind
.he scenes. He doesn't get the
leadlines and he doesn't get the
glory of a first string halfback or
a ieading actor.
But like the men in Hollywood,
witxout him the show can't go on.
