Will
makes
the
win
11
By JIM ECKER
"It's not the will to win that's
important
But rather-The will to pre-
pare to win."
-Fielding H. Yost
Michigan's legendary coach of
those great "Point-A-Minute"
teams fired up his players with
these words before a rugged pre-
season workout years ago.
Today, a sign bearing Yost's
remarks hangs on a wall in the
wrestling room at Crisler Are-
na. The sign is not up to inspire
the wrestlers: athletes today
don't go for that sort of thing.
Rather, the sign expresses a
philosophy: a willingness to sac-
rifice oneself in preparation for
a desired goal.
MICHIGAN'S wrestling team
opened its 1972-73 season with a
resounding thrashing of the Uni-
versity of Pittsburgh last Sat-
urday. The 32-3 romp marked a
fast start for what many think
will be an outstanding year for
the grapplers.
But let's go back a few days:
back to Thursday afternoon when
several Wolverine wrestlers
weigh five to ten pounds above
their listed wrestling weights.
Two-time Big Ten champ Jer-
ry Hubbard hasn't eaten any
solid food since last night. It
will be all fruit and juices for
Joliet's jouster until the weigh-
in Saturday morning. Nearly ten
pounds have to go.
Freshman Jeff Guyton, who
had expected to backup Rick
Neff at 134 pounds, must make
it down to 126. Last year's '26er,
Bill Davids, beat Neff out for the
'34 class and Coach Rick Bay
needs a man for the lighter di-
vision.
ON THE SIDELINES, the in-
jured Roger Ritzman watches as
his teammates suffer through an
agonizing workout.
"Waiting until the last couple
of days .to make weight is defi-
nitely not the smartest way to
do it," advised Ritzman. "There
is a point of diminishing returns
between cutting weight and los-
ing strength . . . Each guy must
decide how much to cut and at
which weight he feels best."
Cutting weight. If you want
to evoke a grimace from an ov-
erweight wrestler, ask him about
cutting weight.
"Stories have been written
about cutting weight which make
it sound like a really abusive
system," mentioned Bay. "It
can be, I don't deny that. But
done properly, .under the super-
vision of a coach, there is very
little danger to the wrestler."
BAY TELLS A story about a
guy named Stackhouse who used
to drive his father (also a wrest-
ling coach) up the wall. It seems
Stackhouse wasn't very consci-
entious when it came to cutting
weight before a match.
He'd come in the morning of a
meet one or two pounds over-
weight, causing the elder Bay
considerable a g i t a t i o n.
Bay would make Stackhouse run
around, spit, run some more,
stop, take a leak and do some
more running until he'd finally
drop the excess baggage.
One day, Bay (senior) decided
to question his wrestler concern-
ing the regimens of the structur-
ed diet all the guys were sup-
posedly obeying.
"Aren't you following that diet
I set up for you?" asked Bay.
"Sure, sure I am" replied
Stackhouse. "Nothing but fruits
and juices just like you said."
"Well, yesterday after practice
you were two pounds under-
weight. Today you're two pounds
over. How'd you gain four
pounds in one night?" growled
the displeased mentor.
HONEST, COACH, all fruits
and juices . . . Well, maybe I
did have a couple of glasses of
water, but nothing else."
"Four pounds on fruit, juices
and water?" queried the incred-
ulous Bay.
"Oh yeah, I guess I forgot . .
I guess I did knock off that apple
pie and ice cream my mom
whipped up last night."
So much for Stackhouse. From
then on, Mr. Bay kept his ras-
cally wrestler locked in the
coach's cellar the nights before
meets.
WOLVERINE captain Mitch
Mendrygal has cutting weight
down to a science. Now in his
fourth year of collegiate wrest-
ling, Mendrygal works on an ex-
acting schedule calculated to
bring him into meets right on
weight.
The Big Ten's defending 158 lb.
champion gets within five pounds
two days before a meet through
practice and a restricted menu.
During the last practice session,
he'll sweat down to 159 and keep
it there for the rest of the day.
"I lose two pounds just sleep-
ing overnight," informed Men-
drygal. "The body burns that up
while you sleep."
Thus, he'll arrive for weigh- in
at, or slightly under, his pre-
scribed weight.
Hubbard doesn't work it that
way. The three days prior to the
Pitt meet were an agonizing
period for him. Even without
eating any solids from Wednes-
day night to Friday morning,
Hubbard was six pounds away.
Friday's practice drew him clos-
er, but not close enough.
"I got on that scale Friday
night and was still a couple
over," he related. "Time to do
some running."
HUBBARD donned the sweats,
some boots, a pair of gloves, "an
old floppy packet with a big red
hood," gulped some laxative and
took off.
Down Washtenaw, past Frater-
nity Row, the Women's I. M.
Building and Palmer Field jog-
ged he.
Hubbard had just passed Cou-
zens Hall when the laxative
started to do its job. "Man,
you've never seen a guy sprint
as fast as I did then," laughed
H u b b a r d in retrospect.
" . Made it to Mercy Hospital
just in time, too!"
The wrestlers don't enjoy cut-
ting weight, but they don't rebel
against the system either.
'"It's not the will to win that's
important, but rather the will to
prepare to win."
