Wrestling Congress 

By Cliff Revelle, President 

A meeting of the N.H.S.W.C. was 

held at 7:45 p.m. at the Holiday Inn, 

Ames, Iowa. Nearly 40 coaches were 

present. Committee Reports were 

heard and discussed. Dave Abrahams' 

report was given by Dennis Hastert. 

Dave has attempted five exchanges 

this past year. All of them were turned 

down because of F.I.L.A. in the other 

country. 

Dennis Hastert reported that sev- 

eral states were now conducting inter- 

state exchanges. 

It was recommended that an infor- 

mation file be set up for domestic ex- 

changes by this organization, so that 

any state would have access to pro- 

cedures, schedules, etc., for conducting 

inter-state competition. Dennis is to 

meet with Dick Sheaffer of the N.F.S. 

H.S.A.A., to see if they can work out 

a plan. 

Dallas Yost of Hawthorne, Calif., 

submitted an outline for rating officials 

for state, regional, and national com- 

petition. This is to be taken under 

advisement and acted upon in July at 

our next meeting. 

Bob Triano has some limited infor- 

mation for tournaments but it wasn't 

available for this meeting.

Don Huff commented upon weight 

classes for both freestyle and high 

schools. It was his committees' feelings 

that any weight class changes merely 

solved an isolated problem. It was also 

their feelings that the present weight 

classes are probably as nearly satis- 

factory as we could set up at this time. 

However, in discussing Don's report, 

most of the group felt that the 98 lb. 

weight should be added for freestyle 

and Greco. Also, a 90 lb. weight might 

be considered for high school compe- 

tition. There were no decisions made. 

Lanny Bryant of the S.W.N. told us 

that he would be glad to help in any 

way as far as communication is con- 

cerned. 

John Dustin noted that he is having 

great difficulty in preparing for sev- 

eral exchange matches but that they 

should work out okay. The difficulty 

seems to be in communicating between 

countries. 

A very important item transpired at 

our meeting. This organization is to 

be known as the National High School 

Wrestling Congress. This name is new 

and different and it should aleviate 

confusion with other organizations. 

Our big problem now is to contact 

the presidents of all state High School 

Wrestling Coaches Associations. The 

regional directors will be contacting 

those states in their regions to find 

out if their state association will join 

the Congress. We need your represen- 

tation to become an active and effec- 

tive body. 

There was some discussion as to the 

election of officers. Some felt the pres- 

ent officers should continue until their 

terms were up; others felt that some 

of the ground work has been laid, and 

a new slate of officers, according to 

the constitution, should be elected. The

it seemed like a sure thing, however, with recent state legislation and a change 

of administration, they will be fortunate to break even. Jim's father suffered a 

major stroke two years ago and with recent pressure, felt symptoms of another. 

Ip was this occurrence that persuaded Jim to renunciate his position at the Uni- 

versity. 

An anonymous Gettysburg, Pennsylvania reader says, "Just want you to know 

that our students here really enjoy SWN. It's not just another sports magazine, 

it's THE MAGAZINE . . . dedicated to the great sport of wrestling. Thanks for 

your tremendous influence on the wrestling program here." 

An outstanding international wrestling authority, Sandar Nemeth, AAU Sports 

Adviser, says, "In the 1912-1962 FILA Fifty Years of Greco-Roman and Freestyle 

Wrestling; Tables of World, European and Olympic Championships, the name of 

Fred (Fritz) Oberlander does not appear. It is through false information that Fred 

Oberlander was named to the Canadian Amateur Wrestling Hall of Fame."

for all-around fitness and fun, and a man who keeps wrestling, even lightly, can 

stick with it for many years. Wrestling is much more fun than most of the solitary 

fitness activities available to men past their 20s. But "it takes two to tangle" and, 

while a runner always can race the clock, a wrestler needs someone else to match 

skills with. Open wrestling tournaments generally are geared to men in their 20s 

and teens. Though some wrestlers in their 30s and 40s can, and a few of them 

do, condition themselves adequately to contend with these youngsters, the mount- 

ing demands of jobs and families prevent most older men from training so inten- 

sively. The "old timers" meet described below is a Peninsula Wrestling Club 

effort to give wrestlers over 30 a competitive incentive. It will be held on the 

weekend of March 22-24, 1974. Please spread the word in your area. 

An editor in CAREER WORLD, a magazine for high school students, continues 

to perpetuate a stereotype-"As to whether wrestling is for real, let's say there's 

a lot of show biz combined with the athletics. In the words of one star grappler, 

Gorilla Monsoon: "Every man in this business is a professional who knows the 

fundamentals and refinements of wrestling. But we also deal, in excitement, and 

the only way to get excitement is to deviate from the rules. If we gave people 

collegiate or Olympic-type wrestling, the arenas would be empty. We add color." 

Since Gorilla weighs in at a tough 400 pounds, who's arguing?" 

An outstanding scholastic wrestler, Clay Fink, caps his career-"Clay Fink: 

Among Mat Elite," written by Len Slother, Herald Sports Editor. One of the most 

outstanding schoolboy wrestling careers in Pennsylvania's rich mat history is wind- 

ing to a close in Central Pennsylvania as the 1973-74 winter sports grind moves 

through the home stretch. While head coach Pete Dutrow's Tyrone High wrestling 

team tries to add to another winning (7-2) dual meet season record against B.E.A. 

tomorrow night and at Penns Valley next weekend before swinging onto the PIAA 

Tourney trail, the season's home stretch will bear added significance for Golden 

Eagle fans. The closing weeks, too, will mark the countdown on the final chapter 

of a 'family affair' that's embraced a tradition-rich sport and become legend here. 

And the climax to a brilliant individual career that's taken the last of the Thomas 

G. Fink clan of Schoch Hollow (Tyrone RD) to the ranks of scholastic wrestling's 

elite with a record probably unmatched in the school's 35-year mat history. Follow- 

ing the footsteps of Dad (Thomas G. Fink), a District 6 champion and a state 

tourney qualifier in the late 40's, and brothers Gig, Tyrone's only two-time PIAA 

champion,-and Tom, a District 6 runner-up who has qualified for the NCAA Small 

College Nationals as a freshman at Bloomsburg this year, Clay Fink has added 

to the legendary feats of the wrestling Fink clan. Tomorrow night the youngest of 

the Finks will make his final home dual meet appearance when B.E.A. visits the 

TAHS gym to meet Dutrow's Golden Eagles. And he'll be shooting for his 51st 

consecutive victory in an undefeated four year span of 43 dual meet bouts and 

eight Post-Holiday Tournament bouts, including a perfect Jay Vee season as a 

freshman and three unbeaten, untied Varsity seasons. Overall, his awesome 

record in interscholastic competition at the Jay Vee and Varsity levels is a stagger- 

ing 55-2, both losses coming in post-season tournament bouts. Huntingdon's Henry 

Green handed him a 5-0 loss in the Section I1 Tournament two years ago, and 

then went on to win Huntingdon's first individual PIAA wrestling championship. 

Altoona's Butch Gentsch added the other blemish in an upset last year in District 6 

semifinals. Winning five Area I1 Jr. Olympic titles, three Pennsylvania State Jr. 

Olympic gold medals, a State YMCA crown, one Area I1 Senior Olympics cham- 

pionship and one runner-up medal in the Area I1 Senior Olympics, a couple of 

summer tournaments, four Post-Holiday Tournament championships, and the PIAA 

District 6, Section 2 title last year, he's put together a remarkable 124-11 career 

record since he began competitive wrestling. 

An ever-competitive Olympic Champion gets eliminated by the 'big boys1- 

Rotunda, F1a.-Dan Gable, first wrestler to participate in the Super Star Sports 

Spectacular, failed to qualify for the finals but picked up 24 points in the trials, 

good for $2,400. He won the 880-yard run in his group and was second in weight 

lifting. 

An indefatigable fan, Larry Manley, of New York, continues to sell his state 

wrestling and its coaches-Syracuse University nearly upset highly favored Pitts- 

burg with a one-point loss 21-20. First year boys from local high schools winning 

were: John DeBiase (1341, Cicero's Pat Greene (1421, North Syracuse's John Janiak 

(1501, Jordan-Elbridge's Ken Wilson (158), and Tim Jenks (167. Greene, under Coach 

Jack Williams at Cicero High, as 8-1 and Janiak, North Syracuse under Coach Ron 

Roch, is 11-1. Christian Brothers Academy Mat Maids for 1974 are: Stephanie 

Doodigian, Kerrin Hopkins, Barbara Reed, Kelley Hopkins, Elaine Bannach, Mary 

Maloney. CBA Mat Maids would like to hear from other Mat Maids. Write to 

Wrestling Coach Gary Barnaba, Christian Brothers Academy, Randall Rr., Dewitt, 

New York 13214. 

And 11,000 people turned out to see University of Iowa defeat Iowa State, 

23-12. SWN ALL-AMERICANS and Dan Gable are a big help to Coach Kurdelmeier 

and the Hawkeyes. And the NCAA University Championships in the same Hilton 

Coliseum drew 14,000 spectators four weekends later. And the mail ended on 

mostly positive notes. The joys of a successful season. Another season of greatness 

and peronal growth for all the young people of our sport. But honest folks, some 

days the mail is a pretty heavy emotional trip. Wrestling is a part of life . . . and 

LIFE is WOW!!!

After more than 49 dual meets this

DOES SUMMER WRESTLING HELP? 

By A1 Bevilacqua 

Empire Coach Editor 

Massapequa, Long Island, N. Y. 

For a number of years most coaches 

in New York have urged their wrestl- 

ers to participate in summer tourna- 

ments and to attend one of many fine 

wrestling camps. We have felt as 

coaches it was worthwhile in experi- 

ence, but we weren't quite sure how 

much. How can we truly attempt to 

evaluate the effectiveness of such pro- 

grams? The attempt below is an obser- 

vation made while being a member of 

the New York State Cultural Exchange 

matches with Missouri and Illinois. In 

no way is the article an attempt to 

downgrade any high school program or 

coach. It is only an attempt to show the 

effectiveness of one of our New York 

State Association programs. Hopefully, 

it will stimulate a few coaches to the 

point where they will become involved 

in their coaching association's activ- 

, , 

two of the boys who made the trip 

were public high school champions. 

They were Steve Hunte of Bellmore 

Kennedy and Rory Whipple of Ironde- 

quoit. Four other boys were place win- 

ners in the state tournament. There- 

fore, 14 of the 20 boys were not sec- 

tional champions. As a matter of fact, 

10 of the 14 were not league cham- 

pions. To say the least, these wrestler8 

were not the very best wrestlers we 

had in the state. They were the 20 

boys willing to give up half their sum- 

mer to train and improve their wrestl- 

ing skills. These were the boys willing 

to drive halfway across the country 

in a crowded bus, sleep on wrestling 

mats, wrestle nine times in five days, 

eat sparingly, get yelled at by Coach 

Stanbro and Hausrath, while others in 

the state chose to spend their vacations 

going to the beach and relaxing. These 

were the boys willing to take on the 

finest high school wrestlers in the 

ities. country, as witnessed by Oregon and 

To review, of the twenty wrestlers Illinois, who had every one of their 

involved, 13 boys are presently wrestl- state champions and place winners at 

ing in high school. The seven other the Nationals. These were the boys 

boys have enrolled in college and have who in the long run will be some of 

continued their wrestling careers. Only the country's finest wrestlers.

BAREFOOT BOY with 

a lot of cheek la future 

All-American??? Tony 

Lind, Colfax, IOWA is 

a 6th grader who is 

destined for a success- 

ful career in wrestling. 

Coach Van Tuinstra re- 

ports Tony has won 

the Colfax Elementary 

Tournament for two 

years, was champion 

at county and Eastern 

Iowa KID TOURNA- 

MENTS and is Colfax 

Junior High wrestling 

team manager. Tony's 

sister is a cheerleader. 

Good luck, Tonyl 

Realizing that not every dedicated 

wrestler in the state had the oppor- 

tunity to participate in the tryout pro- 

gram for the trip, we hope this year to 

afford every boy the opportunity to 

try out. 

Listed below are some of the boys 

who made the trip and how they are 

presently doing in their wrestling. 

Again, there is no intent but to show 

how a summer exchange program 

works.

Gary Hill. Is undefeated presently in 

dual meets and placed second in the 

highly regarded Windsor Christmas 

Tournament. 1973 State champion.

Term Use by So-called 

Professional Wrestling 

Ames, Iowa-The National Wrestling 

Coaches Association adopted a resolu- 

tion here March 16 requesting that 

professional wrestling cease from 

being referred to as a form of wrest11 

ing. The coaches feel that this so-called 

sport is actually a simulated combative 

activity, and it is hoped that the news 

media as well as local, state and fed- 

eral lawmakers will properly label it 

as such. 

It is the belief of the coaches that 

the use of the term wrestling by this 

alleged sport is injurious to the true 

sport of amateur wrestling. True 

wrestling does not permit the use of 

punching, kicking, gouging and other 

such tactics. 

It is further felt that the wholesome 

atmosphere and reputation of amateur 

wrestling have been hindered because 

the public has often been unaware of 

the distinction between true wrestling 

and the professional variety. 

Since the coaches feel deeply about 

their sport and are concerned about 

its image they feel the necessity for 

trying to clarify the situation. 

Thus, out of respect for the true form 

of the sport and for those who coach 

it, compete in it and are interested in 

it, the association asks that so-called 

professional wrestling be recognized 

for what it is.

FOURTH ANNUAL 

ALL STATE BANQUET 

The IWCOA held its fourth annual 

All-State Banquet in Dekalb, Illinois 

on April 6th. The Illinois Wrestling 

Coaches and Officials Association hon- 

ored the top 60 wrestlers of both 

classes. The IWCOA presented awards 

to the coaches of the year in Class A 

and AA, outstanding wrestler in Class 

A and AA, scholastic wrestler, official 

of the year, and newsman of the year. 

Coach of the year went to Class A 

Champion Coach Charlie Anderson. 

Anderson's teams have consistently 

throughout the years distinguished 

themselves as well as producing many 

outstanding individuals. Anderson has 

served on the IHSA rules committee, 

has been a past officer in the IWCOA 

and initiated one of the first state 

wi.estling newspapers in the United 

States. Anderson's service to Illinois 

wrestling has been outstanding and un- 

selfish throughout his tenure as a 

coach. Anderson's school, Savanna, is 

a school of about 500 students. 

Class AA coach of the year was Rich 

Central's Bob Campbell. Campbell's 

team was Class AA state champion. 

Campbell has distinguished himself as 

serving as coach of the Illinois cultural 

exchange team to New York last year 

and being active in summer freestyle 

programs and in the work of the Mayor 

Daley Wrestling Club. Campbell is also 

a mainstay in the Illinois Wrestling 

Federation. 

Outstanding wrestler awards were 

presented to Class AA 155 lb. state 

champion Dave Powell of St. Charles 

and lo Class A 145 lb. state champion 

Marty Williams of Yorkville. The 0ut- 

standing Wrestler Award was chosen 

by ballot of the top 10 coaches in each 

class. 

Official of the year was presented to 

Ken Marlin of Rockford. Marlin has 

been instrumental for many years in 

promoting wrestling clinics and giving 

officials an official voice in the IW- 

COA. Marlin has also been instrumen- 

tal in developing wrestling programs 

on all levels in the Rockford area and 

statewide. 

Newsman of the year went to Vic 

Reato of the Joliet Herald News. Reato 

was chosen from 10 nominees in a very 

tight contest. 

Alex Riccomminni of East Leyden 

High School was named scholastic 

wrestler of the year. Riccomminni has 

a 3.6 cumulative grade point average 

and ranks fourth in his class at East 

Leyden. The East Leyden 132 pounder 

under the direction of Mentor Chuck 

Farina placed 3rd in that weight class 

in AA competition. 

AN ILLINOIS 145-LB. TRADITION? 

An interesting sidelight to the N ~AA 

national's battle at 150 lbs. was that 

Jarrett Hubbard, Joliet West High 

School (Michigan), Bob Holland, East 

Leyden High School (Iowa State) and 

Dan Holm, 158 lb. 3rd placc (Iowa) 

Libertyville High School were consecu- 

t,ive Illinois 145 lb. state champs from 

1970 through 1972. 

Hubbard was 145 lb. state champ in 

1970, Holm in 1971, and Holland in 

1972. 

Hubbard met Holland in the NCAA 

Nationals in the championship round, 

Hubbard being a senior and defending 

champion and Holland the first fresh- 

man to reach NCAA final round. Dan 

Holm took 3rd place in the 158 pound 

division. 

ILLINOIS WRESTLERS TO OREGON 

The Illinois Wrestling Coaches and 

Officials Association in cooperation 

with the Illinois Wrestling Federation 

is preparing for its cultural exchange 

with Oregon and Colorado. Each boy 

will qualify through a qualifying tour- 

nament and must meet certain selec- 

tion criteria. 

The Oregon trip will be just one of 

the highlights of the summer wrestling 

season. Illinois will also send a team 

to the U.S. Wrestling Federation Na- 

tionals in Iowa City, Iowa. 

A complete series of late spring and 

summer tournaments is now in the 

process of being set up. If you are in- 

terested in hosting a free style tourna- 

ment contact Ted DeRousse, Antioch 

High School, Antioch, Illinois or Bill 

Peterson, Lakeview High School, Chi- 

cago, Illinois. 

ILLINOIS PROUD OF COMBS 

It is with a great deal of pride and 

just a little sadness to see Steve Combs 

leave the ranks of Illinois coaches and 

travel to Stillwater, Oklahoma to take 

over the Executive Directorship of the 

USWF. 

Combs has distinguished himself 

with outstanding leadership in Illinois 

circles. We who have worked with him, 

know him as a man with boundless 

energy and unquestionable principles. 

His dedication to scholastic wrestling is 

primary and he will certainly reach 

wrestling on the grass roots level. He

CLASS SYSTEM A SUCCESS 

IN ILLINOIS 

For most people the season has 

wound down and for coaches and wres- 

tlcrs alike a month or so of no-pressure 

and relaxation is well deserved. IIlli- 

nois has just experienced its first two 

class tournaments. More than 32,000 

fans at-tended the four sessions of the 

two-day event which posted a mile- 

stone in the Illinois record books. 

Rich Central of Olympia Fields, 

coached by Bob Campbell won 'the AA 

division. Campbell's Rich Central team 

had the title virtually wrapped up by 

qualifying three men in the finals at 

138, 145 and 155. Oak Lawn took second 

with two champions. 

Savanna High School, coached by 

veteran Charles Anderson, took top 

honors in Class A competition. Savanna 

had one champion and two seconds 

edging out Yorkville by a point and 

onc half. Runnerup Yorkville had two 

champions and one third. Competition 

in the new Class A division was espe- 

cially close (less than a seven point 

spread between the top six places). 

Crowd enthusiasm and participation 

was exceptional and should be a fore- 

taste of a great future for Illinois 

wrestling. 

Top five winners in each class arc 

as follows: 

Class AA 

1. Rich Ccntral, 41, Coach Bob Camp- 

bell; 2. Oak Lawn, 31, Coach Jim 

Craig; 3. Joliet Wcst, 30.5, Coach Mike

Last Year 

Five of the seven boys that entered the 

state competition placed. This year it 

took one first, three thirds and a sixth 

to walk away with their tenth state 

crown. Our congratulations to Mike 

and his team. 

In the A-AA it was Columbus Saint 

Francis DeSales winning the crown for 

the second time in four years. The first 

championship was in 1971 when the 

A-AA Tournament was first started. 

Sixty-one points was the winner's score 

when the tournament ended. Like Ma- 

ple Heights, DeSales entered competition 

with seven boys. When the final 

results were in six of the seven placed. 

All-American Selection 

I would like to take time to thank 

the selection committee for their help. 

I must confess that things did not run 

as smoothly as I hoped, but with the 

experience we will do a better job next 

year. 

Second, I would like to thank the 

coaches who submitted boys for our 

selection. I was very pleased to see the 

response. Over fifteen boys were recommended 

by their coaches. 

The committee had a hard time ranking 

these outstanding wrestlers for the 

National Selection Committee. I hope 

we did a fair job. 

Next year be sure to read Scholastic 

Wrestling News, I will attempt to keep 

you informed of the deadline for submitting 

your boys for consideration.

Does 'Pulling' Weight

The Wrestler? 

By Dr. Glynn A. Lcyshon

part in the control of diabetes. Our 

bodies at one time were accustomed 

to a feast-or-starve rather than a three- 

meal-a-day regimen. Present overfeed- 

ing may play a part in the increasing 

incidence of diabetes. 

People engaged in heavy work 

have lower cholesterol levels. The com- 

bination of heavy work and reduced 

diets, as in wrestling, makes for a 

healthy cholesterol balance. 

The human life span is inversely 

related to total caloric intake. 

"Lean and mean" is the wrestler's 

most efficient state. One study shows 

that wrestlers improve their reactions 

as they approach their "fighting" 

weight through dietting and dehydra- 

tion. Two other pieces of research in- 

dicate that reduction in muscle girth 

incurs no significant decrease in 

strength. 

At least nine studies show that 

wrestlers have been able to reduce 

from five to ten per cent of their body- 

weight without appreciable effect. 

These findings have been corroborated 

by studies on marathon runners. 

Several of these facts run contrary 

to popular belief. The layman knows 

that when he is hungry he is weak, and 

when he is "dying of thirst" he cannot 

work at all. What he does not realize 

is that a wrestler's body responds dif- 

ferently from that of an untrained 

body. 

Perhaps the most surprising of these 

responses has to do with the level of 

serum growth hormone. This hormone 

is an endocrine secretion that exists 

in everyone's blood at a level commen- 

surate with his maturity. Growing 

children, for example, have a higher 

level than adults. 

Under certain stresses, including 

, , 

semistarvation and heavy work, the 

amount of this growth hormone in- 

creases. The significance of this should 

not go unnoticed by those who predict 

long-range problems for young wrestl- 

ers on diets. 

Tanner, an English physiologist, ex- 

plains the increase in serum growth 

hormone as a safety device that in- 

sures every child of achieving his "tar- 

get growth level" despite temporary 

setbacks such as illness. 

When a child's growth trajectory is 

changed slightly by substandard nutri- 

tion, a restoring force (most probably 

the increase in growth hormone) de- 



velops as soon as his nutrition returns 

to normal. At this point, his growth 

accelerates up to twice its normal speed 

until its original trajectory is reached, 

following which his growth proceeds 

at its normal pace. 

This information should allay pa- 

rental fear over the growth of their 

children. Anyone who has ever seen a 

boy grow out of several weight classes 

through junior high school and high 

school has observed this phenomenon 

in action. 

Since a good diet is balanced but low 

in calories, one might wonder what 

effect a reduced diet would have on

muscle tissue. Astrand, the Swedish 

physiologist, studied the effects of re- 

duced diet on cross-country skiers. He 

discovered that though the athletes 

skied 20 to 50 miles per day they util- 

ized no more protein than resting 

athletes. 

He also found that they expended 

18,000 calories in terms of work, but 

ingested only 1,000 calories. A similar 

study of an Indian tribe id Mexico re- 

vealed that they burned 11,000 calories 

in the course of a 100-mile run, yet 

had an intake that came nowhere near 

that amount. 

Could our wrestlers be in the same 

category? Physiologists admit that this 

business of operating efficiently on a 

reduced diet has been going on for 

years, so there must be something 

to it. 

Another physiological phenomenon 

is the manner in which a trained body 

perspires. Much criticism has been 

leveled at the practice of reducing 

weight by dehydration; in fact, the 

high school rules forbid the use of 

artificial devices such as sweat-boxes. 

Though there certainly is a point at 

which the system would collapse with- 

out adequate fluid, there is a sharp dif- 

ference in tolerance between. the

late the body temperature. 

The effort sweat is poor in sodium 

chloride, indicating that the body is 

making an effort to preserve the elec- 

trolytes (vital body chemicals) which 

are lost in the perspiration of the un- 

trained person.

Studies show that whereas an un- " 

trained person will be sharply affected 

by only a two per cent loss in weight 

' 

through dehydration, the trained person 

will be able to operate efficiently 

,despite as much as a seven per cent 

loss! 

For a 150-pound wrestler, the loss of 

seven per cent of his weight comes to - I 

10 pounds, which is more than enough ' 

to put him in the next lower weight 

1 

class. 

It is interesting to note that physiologists 

consider the trained state as one 

of chronic dehydration. Marathon runners 

have always lived in this "state" 

without anyone protesting. Consider -- 

the premise that the ideal weight for 

a marathoner should be two pounds 

for every inch in height: is anyone 

writing editorials about six-foot distance 

runners who weigh 144 pounds? 

Costill's study of dehydration in distance 

running reveals that the leaders 

in marathon races (26 miles) lose an I 

average of nearly 10 pounds. When you 

consider that this weight is shed in a 

period of about two hours and that the 

men are extremely lean to begin with, 

you can glean an idea of the inconsequential 

effect of temporary dehydration 

on performance. Costill also found 

that the dehydration had little effect 

on the runners' blood volume. 

Is this also the case with wrestlers? 

Very likely. They, too, are lean, and - 

dehydrate from a hard workout, running, 

or session in a sweat-box (where * 

rules permit). The fact that the wrestl- , 

er is, like the runner, a conditioned 

athlete causes his body to react dif-

ferently from that an untrained person. 

His blood volume remains constant 

despite the loss of water. 

To extend the parallel, consider the 

experiment by Costill in which a mara- 

thoner ran 20 miles per day at a six- 

mile-per-hour pace (a comfortable 

training pace) for three consecutive 

days. Though he was given liquid dur- 

ing the run, he could not absorb the 

water from his stomach as fast as he 

lost it in perspiration. 

Isn't that simliar to the wrestler's 

daily workouts in mid-season (except 

for the administration of fluids)? 

Marathoners also attempt to replace 

their fluid loss very quickly, but un- 

less they force themselves to drink 

more than they desire the total re- 

placement can take several days. 

In wrestling this idea of quick re- 

placement has been termed "bounc- 

ing" and has been attacked as a bad 

practice. There seems to be little evi- 

dence that it is. 

The replacement of lost fluid should 

be done steadily and as soon as pos- 

sible. The good commercial thirst 

quenchers contain sodium chloride, po- 

tassium, etc., which help retain the 

fluid and thus offer the quickest means 

of rehydration. 

The marathoners exhibit a high de- 

gree of urine production after a race. 

Wrestlers evidence the same condition 

after a tournament. This is the body's 

way of handling more fluid than the 

cells can immediately absorb. 

In some respects, the wrestler has 

an advantage over the runner. He has 

five hours in which to rehydrate after 

his weigh-in before a bout. He can re- 

place a lot of lost fluid in this time. 

The temporary nature of this kind 

of dehydration was graphically proven 

in a study in which a group of wrestl- 

ers were given one litre of sugar-sweet- 

ened water supplemented with salt 

tablets every 30 minutes following the 

weigh-in. Match-time five hours later 

found them completely rehydrated! 

This is not to say that "pulling 

weight" can never harm the wrestler, 

but the odds are small. It would take 

great excess and certain other abuses 

to cause any significant damage. 

The following guidelines should be 

used in effecting any weight-reduction 

programs: 

1. Weight loss should not exceed 

seven per cent of the body weight once 

a reasonable state of fitness is attained. 

The boy who is carrying a huge roll 

of fat obviously can and should lose 

more. 

2. No attempt at weight loss should 

be made without a minimum of two 

weeks of daily conditioning. By this 

time even the fat boy will have started
