PAGE 4—THE CAMPUS CHAT
Friday, August 2, 1968

Rod Rust Optimistic
About '68 Gridders
Many sportswriters have an uncanny
ability to predict how well a team will
do just by looking at the team's past
season, its returning players, the squad
depth ami various other characteristics
that are supposed to make a good team
great.
But often the sportswriter is wrong in
his predictions. Bvery year, some team
that was supposed to be tfreat ends
up mangled. Kememt>er the bumper stick-
ers around the state calling 1967 the
year of the Horns. By the end of the sea-
son when Texas slipped to a 4-3 confer-
ence record and fourth place behind TCU
in the Southwest Conference, thr Tex-
as bumper stickers were scarce. They had
been ripped off by thousands of eni-
barutscd Longhoro fans. Texas was not
the tfreat team the sports writers said
it would be. ,
AND WHO THOUGHT that SMU
would win the Southwest Conference in
1966? Certainly not the sportswriters.
However, in both instances the coaches
of these two universities knew their
teams and were a step ahead of the
sportswriters in their predictions.
North Texas Coach Rod Rust does a
little predicting of his own in the new
Press-Radio-TV Guide compiled and
edited by Sports News Director Fred
Gruham, It is published yearly with in-
formation about NT football—the team,
the coaches, schedules, opponents, indi-
vidual players—almost all the informa-
tion the news media might need in writ-
ing about North Texas football in the
coming year.
SPORTSWRITERS should have a lot
to write about because an "on paper"
analysis looks promising, and Rust has
some nice things to say about the 1968
edition of the Mean Green.
But the defending Missouri Valley
Conference champs are not without their
problems. Rust points out four factors

that may cause problems in NT's try for
another MVC championship. He says
this year's schedule is the toughest the
school has had for a long time. Also,
last year and in 1966 the Katies fin-
ished the season with few major injur-
ies. Rust wonders if the Mean Green
can be that lucky for a third season.
IN A qi'OTE from the Press Guide,
Rust cites another problem that must
be solved. "People new at their posi-
tions last year came through. We must
get the same performance from new
faces this season." The final factoi that
could present a problem is that the Ka-
gles lost a "good bunch of seniors who
were loaded with leadership as well as
playing ability."
For the most part, however, Rust
talks about different aspects of his '68
team with optimism. The only big ques-
tion mark Rust has concerns team lead-
ership, which he considers necessary for
a winning team to keep winning.
Although this year's Mean Green team
has 12 starters off the 7-1-1 conference
championship team, Rust has his eye on
those question marks and is neither
jumping for joy nor singing the blues
aliout North Texas' '68 prospects.
This week's Eyecatcher is a sports-minded senior from the South Plains town
of Spade. She is Kathy Bailey, a 22-year-old physical education major who
enjoys basketball, horseback riding and water sports.

Dr. James R. Lott of the biology de-
partment will be in Mexico City two
and u half weeks this month for research
on heart stress.
Dr. Lott said the trip, starting Aug.
10, will lie a "running study of the
heart stress of Mexican Olympic track
men in their pre-Olympic trials."
There has been much speculation about
what effect the high altitude of Mexico
City will have on athletes. Dr. Lott
wants to find out what effect thin-air
training has on the heart. His findings
will be of interest to coaches as well
as to physiologists.
Dr. Lott will run an EKG (electro-
cardiagram, a heart measurement) on
athletes while they are running and
while resting. For the tests, he wire«
the athletes up with two small electrodes
and a tiny transmitter. Dr. I^itt uses a
FM tuner and a recorder to receive the
information.
Dr. Lott also hopes to go to Acapulco
and set up a test with the resort city's
cliff divers. The big problem he expects
there is getting close enough to the diver

in stress, he decided that he would begin
his study with athletes.
He recorded the EKGs of football play-
ers, and in the spring continued his ex-
periments with basketball players and
trackmen Since that time, Dr. Lott has
expanded his research to include people
of all age groups and all walks of life.
