Find and Mend Athlete's
Injuries

must estimate the seriousness of
an injury," he explains.
"Primarily, however, our job is
to repair athletes physically," he
adds. That means he does much
of the work that would be too
routine and costly for a doctor to
do.
As he spoke, he was rubbing
down an athlete's back muscle in
his training room which projects
a heavy odor of balm and alcohol.
"Now here's a shoulder injury,"
he said, making use of the example
at hand. "There's probably noth-
ing wrong with it other than sore-
ness. Itns up to me to draw on
my experience and decide how bad
it is. If I think it's serious, I'll
send him to a doctor for his con-
sideration."
ALTHUGH he has the Job of
repairingathletes to win
games, he's always giving them
some advice that will carry over to
post-graduate days.
One moment he's telling a young
sophomore how to improve his
posture and on another occasion
he's emphasizing how to relax.
Jim isn't just a talker, though.
"T use my own- medicine," he
says about his methods. The mus-
cular biceps on his small five foot-
seven inch frame and his excellent
posture support that claim.
And his interests in therapy
aren't confined to Michigan ath-
letes He and other school trainers
meet each year to share ideas and
listen to specialists.
"We learned a formula to help
the tape stick to the skin from
Harvard men, how to salt our
water from an Indiana physiologist
and knee injury information from
an Oklahoma doctor," he recalls.
Hunt also likes to promote train-
ing programs for high schools, and
says he has been "preaching". it
for years.
"They should have a trainer at
every high school game," he says.
"I've even told school boards to
cut out interscholastic athletics if
they aren't going to be safe."
H E'S DISAPPOINTED that more
people haven't paid attention
to his "sermon" but was beaming
over a report from Minnesota.
where 20 doctors banded and
agreed to take turns caring for the
injured at their local high school
games.
Hunt realizes this is difficult to
promote in many communities,
and thus offers an alternate plan:
"Colleges should recognize phy-
sical therapy as a minor and give
these people the power to handle
athletic injuries. There must be

many English and history majors
who have athletic interests but
who are not qualified to be
coaches. Certainly there are many
teachers who are 'frustrated doc-
tors' and have kept some of their
medical interest."
To insure safety, he emphasizes,
the trainer must have authority.
Working with the coach and phy-
sician as a team is his plan at
Michigan.
Hunt says he doesn't infringe on
the coaches' authority, but does
drop an occasional word of confl.
dence when he thinks it will help
an athlete's morale.
"T.L.C. (tender loving care) is
a stock of the trade," he jokes.
"Once in a while I relate a good
word I've heard the coaches say
about a boy if I don't think it
will get back to the boy any other
way.:'
But Hunt emphasizes that his
job is pre 7enting,- finding and
mending injuiies.
That also is his life.

NEW CAMPUS WRITING NO. 3,
edited by Nolan Miller and Jud-
son Jerome, Grove Press: Ever-
green Original, New York. 1959,
384 pp., $3.50
P OOR AVERY has lost his fin
gers in the kitchen fan which
will upset his wife - not, mind
you, because of his inability to
maintain his digits in their proper
place, but because they "so did
mess up the fan." Avery's wife is
very fond of the fan.
So begins one of the few weird
short stories in a collection of
campus writing published recent-
ly. "New Campus Writing No. 3"
a Grove Press release, sparkles
with refreshing variety.
If such a collection proves any-
thing, it is that young authors are
seldom forced into molds. In the
face of the Life Magazinist cru-
sade to convince all America that
our younger creative intellects all
belong to the Great Unwashed of
Beatnikism, it is reassuring to
find a fairly representative group
writing with clarity, with human
warmth and understanding, with
individuality.
In literature, as in most human
activity, it is wise to gain perspec-
tive from time to time. Through
a look at the contents of "New
Campus Writing No. 3" one can
get an idea of the kind of creative
thinking being done across the
United States from Bennington to
Berkeley.
POOR AVERY'S story is one of
the few wildly experimental
tales in the collection. Ronald
Oest, a, student at the University
of New Mexico when he wrote this
little gem of symbolism, presents
the reader with characters who
catch birds - by pouring salt on
their tails - and lose noses in
bed springs.
Somewhere there is a meaning
for a materialistic society - may-
be, but the maze is formidable.
For sheer obscurity it is diffi-
cult to surpass the poem of Rob-
ert Sward, a bard from State Uni-
versity of Iowa. Especially tempt-
ing for those who enjoy making
mountains out of literary mole-
hills is one entitled "Sunday: Chi-
cago Morning" in which Dick
Tracy becomes alternately Jesus
Christ, an Uncle eating kippers
who gets shot, and the father who
does the shooting. Enthusiastic?
Most of the student-authors
write fairly much from experience
in a reasonably straight-forward
fashion. Consequently, there is a
good deal of material on coming
of age.
THERE is coming of age in
France in a story that sounds
Jo Hardee heads the Daily
reviewing staff and is a senior
in the literary college.
very much' like a chapter from
the "Fifty Minute Hour." There
is coming of age in Central Amer-
ica. "Inocente" by Victor Perera,
one of three University of Michi-
gan students writing for this vol-
ume, shows a 12-year-old boy at-
tempting to prove ' his manhood.
There is coming of age in Aus-
tralia in a touchingly humorous
tale by Peter Shrubb (Stanford
University).
"She was my first girl, and her
name was Gwen, but she had re
cently begun spelling it Gwynne."
Unfortunately, Gwynne, like most
15-year-old females is more in-
terested in a boy's athletic achieve-
ments than his literary ones, in
track stars than boys who "con-
secrate (themselves) to dawn."
There is failure to come of age
at Princeton. In a beautifully in-
tegrated dramatic-narrative style,
John E. McNees of Harvard lam-
basts the eating club process at
Princeton.
He skillfully alternates vivid de-
scription of "Bicker" -- not too
unlike fraternity rush to be com-
prehended easily - with factual
or editorial passages. Titled "The
Quest at Princeton for the Cock-
tail Soul," this satiric piece would
be well read by each student in
each school having "selective" or-
ganizations.
", APPREHEND the Platonic
essence of the utter antithesis
to the approved club type; imagine
an inarticulate, introverted, mor-
bidly shy sophomore from a small
town in the provinces. He wears
outlandish ties, dirty sweaters,
and baggy pants. Not only lack-
ing a crewcut, he is badly in need
of a barber nearly all the time
and obviously shaves but rarely.
"Until he arrived at the univer-
sity he was educated in mediocre
public schools. The whole of life to
him lies in doodling with mathe-
matics, and his idea -of kicks is
playing the violin. He is too un-
dersized for athletics, has a hor-
ror, in fact of both sports and
drunken manly rough-housing,
and his table manners, to put it
kindly, are naive.
"The girls he dates when he
dates at all are dogs. His conver-
sataion, whe he talks at all, is in-
cessantly intellectual and hardly
what the New Yorker calls "soph-
isticated." He is wholly unaware
of his own inadequacies and inep-
titudes; moreover, he wears thick
glasses, has a large nose, and is
flagrantly Jewish.
, "one can clearly see why a
social club would only be sensible
in excluding such an individual,
whatever the wisdom might be of
admitting him to the university,
and most of the officers on Pros-
pect Street would agree that this
precisely describes the sort of man
who must at all costs be kept out.
"It is also a fairly accurate por-
trait of Einstein."
W H IL E describing Prospect
Street at Princeton, this ar-
ticle goes beyond one specific in-
stance to the entire question of
selectivity in the university with a
minority of pontificating and a
majority of satiric narration.
Other quests in the collection
deal with searches for identity,
for sex and something more than
sex in Ireland, for friendship in
America. The stories circle the
globe, but are primarily introspec-,
tive dealing with problems that
the young adult is facing or has
faced.

man. Although written from the
third person perspective, Miss
Hidary manages to show her
reader the world of the aged,
deaf old man, not only his
thoughts but his perceptions and
his physical actions as the old
man himself might experience
them.
This is a very sensitive story
and a very skillfully written one.
It attempts to go beyond intro-
spection to an understanding,
through imagination and sympa-
thy, to the inner-life of a human
