This is not entirely true. daFor an hour or more every Mon- day, Wednesday, and Friday, the members of the football team trudge down to the football training facilities to engage in winter con- ditioning. Highlighting drillsbfor the gridders this wnter have been a set of new conditioning ma- chines. The Nautilus weight condition- ing program consists of a set of sevenmachines, each designed to tone a particular muscle or Smuscle group. As such, the ma- chines vary in design, but they all basically consist of a frame- work supporting a set of weights chains, and pulleys, with a plat- form for the man using them. In the Michigan program, a man raises an unspecified weight as many times as he is able on each machine, and has a total of thirty minutes to cover all seven ma- chines. "The big reason we run this pro- gram is to get the plavers in shape' for spring practice. If they are in shape, they won't have as many injuries," explained assistant coach Gary Moeller who, along with other coaches, run the program. The main objectives of this activity are to strengthen mus- cles and improve flexibility of movement," Moeller claims. "It is designed to strengthen the muscles at every possible point. And if it'sedone correctly, it helps improve cardio-vascular circulation. We want to break down as much muscle fiber as possible." "And not only for football play- ers. We've got lacrosse players in here, too. This program is open to anybody." It would take a dedicated per- son to endure the ritual, however. and is packed in so that his chest does not move. He then lifts the weights by either pushing a set of bars forward, or pressing another set back with his elbows. The last three machines con- centrate on the leg muscles and the hamstrings. On machine seven a man lies on his stomach and lifts the weights by bending his knees. After their bout with the Nau- tilus machines, the football players transfer to another room for a series of reflex drills, which are the same as those done before games, but on a smaller scale. A passerby can hear shouts of "You don't roll over, you flip over," and groans of agony emanating from the drills. The gridders rip through the Ned "Nikita" Nautilus Inventor of Weight Machine The machines look like the result of an unnatural union between Vic Tanny and Thomas of Torquema- da. And thirty minutes on them is enough for most of the football players. "They make you use every mus- cle in your body," groaned one ath- lete after a session on the ma- chines. The first of the machines is bas- ically an adjustable seat with the weights positioned behind and the pulleys on top. A person strapped in this contraption can do two things. He can lift the weights by pulling down on a bar suspended above his head, or he can lift them by pressing down with his elbows on a horizantal bar. The second, third, and fourth machines are likewise concern- ed with the toning of the mus- cles of the arms and the upper torso. On machine three, the victim steps into the machine North Carolina State leads tough ACpace By MICHAEL WILSON This is the time of year when conference races move into their final, climactic stages with the winners going off to play in the NCAA tournament. But before they do so, most of them have to fight their way through some very tough conference struggles. Such is the case in the Atlantic Coast Conference, perhaps the most powerful basketball conference in the nation. The ACC contains three teams in the top ten of the AP cage ratings. North Carolina State is second, North Carolina is fourth, and Maryland currently owns the number seven spot. With little more than a month remaining in the schedule, these three teams are in the thick of the fighting for the conference crown. NORTH CAROLINA S T A T E,:::.>:r>.... >r;.. currently on top with a spotless 7-0 record, also has the best look- ATLANTIC COAST ing schedule of the three teams. CONFERENCE THE LEADERS Of the five conference games re- W L drills in groups of seven or eight. Gro ips keep going through from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. While it cannot be truthfully said th-t the football players en- joy the drills, most seem to feel them necess =;ry, and there are no compl ints heard in the halls of Bo's palace. "I think this program is A- OK," claimed Larry "Doctor B" Banks, a senior defensive end. "But I really don't care for those reflex drills. They were all right the first day, a little harder the second, and they have been get- tong worse since. "But it's all going to be worth- while on the last day of the sea- son." If any of you have forgot- ten, the last game of the regular season will be held in Columbus. .f .. TONIGHT !

These include Wake For-M est, Duke and North Carolina. The only real tough game on the road for Coach Norman Sloan's team is when they must travel to Clemson on February 23. "Clemson has always given us trouble in the past." an as- sistant said. Only a half-game away in second place is North Carolina, owning a 7-1 record. Its only loss came at the hands of North Carolina State. However, this team faces the roughest schedule of all. It must play Maryland in College Park February 13, and North Carolina State on February 26. North Carolina will play host to Virginia February 23 and close the season with Duke March 2. THREE GAMES back but still in the picture is Maryland, currently with a 4-3 conference record. Maryland assistant coach Howard White, states that, "the team who has the home court advantage will have the best chance. The schedule is really about the same. I think our biggest game will be on February 13 when we play North Carolina at home. If we win, this game will get us that bye in the tournament." Maryland plays host to North Carolina on February 13, travels to Clemson February 16, and to Duke University on February 23. a ...._ _._._.. __ . at f red sklaar, international ... fabulous.. .fantastic D I9 L 1 I - _ _ world famous, high fashion men's suits and clothing CHOOSE ONE AT OUR REG.
