FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 196? THEhF ThIC IIEAN 1i1,u a as as 1 a a V u a V ['1 3 L t1 a L a JYAGE NINE 'M' D By BOB MCFARLAND Although the National Collegi- a'te Athletic Association made most of the headlines this week with their rule change regarding punts, a potentially more important de- velopment involved the report giv- en to 'the rules committee by Dr Richard C. Schneider, professor in the department of neuro-surgery at Michigan. Dr. Schneider's presentation was related to neck and back injur- Les in football, according to Wiles Hallock, connected with the pub- licity bureau of the NCAA in Kan- 1 sas City, Mo. His research report included a film showing actual football in- juries and fatalities as they oc- curred, in addition to slides and oral commentary on the subject. A .Serious Problem "We were very impressed by Dr. Schneider's dedication to his own particular field of neuro-surgery, and also with the thoroughness of his research, and the seriousness of the problems which he pointed out," Hallock said yesterday. "Speaking ;for myself, it is the very first time I've seen this kind of film which he has put together, and it was very well done," Hal- lock continued. "The illustrations of techniques causing injuries, and the completeness of his documen- tation were .especially striking." A representative of the Associat- ed Press in Phoenix, Ariz., noted 'that the report given by Dr. Schneider caused much reaction among the rules committee mem- Doctor Spurs NCAA Action De -ree Can-didateir: -Associated Press IN A RECENT REPORT TO THE NCAA, Michigan professor Dr. Richard C. Schneider pointed out that many neck and back in- juries are caused by illegal tackles. Wolverine Jim Detwiler is shown receiving "the treatment" from two North Carolina players. to ameliorate the conditions point- ed to in the movies and slides. They were: * Better selection of players (relating to physical characteris- tics) . " Better enforcement of exist- ing rules. " The need for new rules in areas not covered by existing ones. M The need for better designed equipment. " The establishment of a cen- tral registry for all football in- juries. " Greater preparation of field and locker room facilities for emergency treatment. Some dangerous practices were specifically pointed to in the pres- entation, Hallock said. He noted that "stick blocking" and "clothes- lining" were alluded to by Dr. Schneider. "Stick blocking" is the practice of employing the helmet to take would-be tacklers out of a play. "Clotheslining" refers to a tackl- ing technique in which the defend- er uses an outstretched arm, hit- ting the ball carrier in the neck region. Caveman Trick Hallock described "spearing" as another hazardous practice men- tioned by Dr. Schneider. This is the method by which a member of the defensive team attempts to dislodge the ball from the runner's grasp by ramming it with his helmet. "Dr,. Schneider spoke very re- spectfully of the work which the rules committee has done previ- ously in this area," Hallock re- marked. "One of the big problems is to obtain stricter enforcement of the rules in effect at the cur- rent time." On Tuesday, the NCAA passed two resolutions in the general area of Dr. Schneider's study. The first called for the establishment of a common athletic code, to be work- ed out by a committee of college coaches. They would cooperate with a similar. group of high school mentors in an attempt to write a Scode of ethics relating to competi- ition in both ranks. The second resolution dealt with by the officials.

Slated as an exhibition encoun- ter; the meet-that-isn't-a-meet will not only provide resting time for Coach Newt Loken's undefeat- ed team, but will also provide a launching pad for the Michigan Wolverines' outstanding all-around man the last three years, placing second in the Big Ten in 1966. Among the freshmen, particular stress "was placed on the flock of boys who were outstanding per- formers last year at their respect- ive high schools. Canadian Sid Jensen, who performs on the long horse, high bar, and parallel bars,. was first in' Canada this year in the first of these events; while teammate Gary Balcombe placed second. * , Frosh Standout Another freshman, Ron Rap- per of Skokie, Illinois, was state runner-up on the parallel bars last year, but has already display- ed considerable improvement since his admittedly fine high school career.- At the Fort Lauderdale Winter Clinic this past December, Ron captured a first place in the unofficial meet, edging out varsity standouts from all over the coun- try-including perennial national contender Southern Illinois. Other frosh stars in Loken's galaxy are horsemen Mike Car- penter and Jim DeBoo, high bars- man Ray Timm, Dave Ruttenberg on parallel bars, and transfer stu- dent Charlie Froeming on rings, Of Froeming, Loken said that he was "ready to join the varsity to- day-and do as well as many of the boys we have competing now." You ask of the Western Mich- igan squad? Well, little can be said--former Olympian Orlofsky will be bringng less than ten men here, the Broncos currently in their first year of gymnastics com- petition. He'll well be able to use Loken's freshmen. HAMBURGER STEAK Salad, Potato, Bread and Butter, VEAL CUTLET Salad, Potato, Bread and Butter .... . OPEN:rMon., .Wed. and Thurs., 4 P.M. to 2 A.M.

Coach Loken, who has worked out a unique scoring method for the match with Western Coach Fred Orlofsky, outlined the plans at a practice session Thursday afternoon. Adding to the Excitement "To provide interest in the meet, the scored of our freshmen will be added to those of the Western Michigan boys, and compared against those of our varsity. This way, not only will the meet be more interesting, but we'll be able to give a taste of big-time com- petition to our freshmen," ex- plained Loken. Loken couldn't understress the important role this season's class of yearlings will be playing the next few years, particularly noting the impending graduation of seven varsity standouts, number- , ing Captain Gary Vander Voort, Cliff Chilvers, Christ Vanden Broek, Art Baessler, Dick Stone, and the Fuller twins, Chip and Phip.
