Wichita Packs Potential
To Capture MVC Trophy
Friday, August 10, 1962
At> four teams clash for thin sea-
son's Missouri Valley Conference
championship, the odd* on paper
arc that the University of Wichita
will come out of the •crumble
with the trophy — their third in
n row.
North Texas is tabbed to finish
second, the University of Cincin-
nati and the University of Tulsa
coming in third and fourth.
There is nood reason for this
belief now, but things may change
as the season progresses.
Wichita is returning 30 letter-
men this year from a squad that
won eight and lost three.
And the Shockers may come up
with *ome shocker* of their own
with a hackfield that returns in-
tact.
It includes quarterback Alex
Zyskowski, who was No. 13 in
the nation last season with 1,126
yards in total offenae. An all-MVC
player last season, Zyskowski is
^ . m
highly respected hy the Wheat-
shocker's new coach, Marcelino
(('helot Huerta, who came from
the University of Tampa.
The other three hack fielders in-
clude halfbacks Kill Stangarone
(who made all-MVC last year)
and Heiuy Stephens, and fullback
Adolph Wilson.
The line will be strengthened by
guard Charlie Wright, center Le-
roy Leep and end Jim Mnddox.
This trio received all-MVC honors
last season.
KACI.E CKIDDKKS
NTSU has 25 of the best 33
gridders back from last year's club
that won five, lost four and tied
one.
The tiagles are hanging much of
their hopes on unanimous All-Con-
ference halfback Bobby Smith and
a line that averages 232 pounds
per man.
Smith was the Valley's leading
ru.iher last fall with 511 yards anil
tied for scoring honors with 42
points.
The North Texas line, from left
to right, will include Mike I'irkle,
Bobby Price, Richard Karris, Mack
Cope, (Jerry Hawkins, Herbert
Schulze and Winston Freeman.
Running with Smith at half-
back will be Butch Wright, James
I.ittlepage, lion Vickers and David
Magnenat.
ONI.V FOI'H STARTERS
Cincinnati, with 12 lettermen,
four of whom are starters, is fav-
ored only over the cellar team in
conference play.
The four returning starters are
guard Rufus Simmons, fullback
I'hil Goldner, end Jim I'aris and
quarterback Bruce Vogelsang.
Simmons, 205 pounds, made all-
MVC for the Bearcats, who last
year won three games and lost
seven.
Lettermen in the line, besides
Simmons and Paris, are guard
Oarrell Cauley, tackles Bob Me
Farland and Dan Points, and ends
Phil Higgins and Tom Tkatch.
Sophomores and junior college
transfers will give much needed
help to the University of Tulsa
team that's going to have to
scramble to keep off the bottom
rung of the MVC ladder.
Coach Glenn Iiobbs lost 12 of
his top 22 players from the 1061
team but still has AII-Conference
guard Kenny Reed. Tackle Tony
Liseio, honorable mention, and
Reed both weigh in at 230 pounds
End Jim Furlong, second-team
selection, will handle much of the
pass catching and punting. He has
a 3-1. ! punting average.

From 4,000 Feet Up
By RUDY POWELL
The plane's engine was
throttled down to idle. With the
words "I'm gone," l'y Pinkston
leaped from the open door fol-
lowed immediately by Thomas
Spalding.
The Cessna banked sharply to
the right. Through the open
door, two spread-eagle figures
could be seen plummeting away
to the waters of Lake Dallas

later, a second chute
The two members of the
Skydiving Club drifted
water jumps made last Friday
by seven Dallas skydivers, in-
cluding two women.
Earlier in the afternoon, the
Cessna Sky lane, pilot ed by
North Texas junior Woody llas-
singer, had appeared at 8,000
feet over Lake Dallas. As spec-
tators gazed upward, the sun
was reflected from a small dot
falling away from the plane.
Exclamations could be heard
from observers as the speck
dropped earthward for 20 sec-
onds before a parachute stream-
ed out and filled with air.
Hassinger brought the plane
around for two more passes over
the lake, dropping a sk.vdiver
each time. The club's president.
Bob Crump, used a smoke bomb
to mark his descent.
AS THE PLANE settled on
the grass runway, other skydiv-
ers readied main and reserve
chutes and dotation gear for
their turn to make the water
jump.
Clouds caused an early twi-
light as Spalding and Pinkston
climbed aboard the Cessna. The
plane bumped along the dirt
strip and lifted off in a slow,
climbing turn.
The door had been removed
from the aircraft for easy exit
of the jumpers. One of the front
seats had also been removed.
Pinkston sat by the door open-
ing with his back against the in-
strument panel. Spalding shared
the back seat with me while
Hassinger, at the controls, kept
the plane in a climbing attitude.
THE TWO CHUTISTS deter-
mined that the jump would be
made at 4,000 feet with a 10.
second verbal count before pull-
ing the ripcord. Usually an al-
timeter and a stop watch mount-
ed on the reserve chute carried
in front are used to determine
altitude and length of fall,
Spalding explained that because
of the water landing, the instru-
ments could not be used with-
out damaging them.
As the plane approached the
desired altitude, Hassinger
turned the craft for the run
across the airstrip and out over
the water. Both jumpers checked
their equipment as the shore-
line passed beneath the right
landing gear.
THE PLANE proceeded out
over the water a few more sec-
onds and then Hassinger cut
the engine. Pinkston quickly
stepped out onto the right land-
ing gear, bracing himself with
the wing strut, paused an in-
stant and jumped. Spalding im-
mediately repeated the proce-
dure.
Except for the probiem of
the water landing and keeping
horses off the grass air strip, it
was a routine outing for the
Dallas skydivers.
Most of the members who par-
ticipated had arrived by auto-
mobile at the jump area just
southeast of the Lakeview Mar-
ina and, amid spectators and
grazing horses, awaited the ar-
rival of Hassinger and the plane.
A FEMALE MEMBER. Miss
Martha Hudleston of Dallas,
said she hail made 23 jumps. "It
seems like a lot if you don't
jump." she suid, "but it's really
not very many."
Two jumpers folded and re-
packed a parachute. Members
pack their own main chutes, but
the reserve chute is prepared by
certified packers.
The Dallas Skydiving Club
has approximately 30 members
and normally uses the Cedar Hill
jump area south of Red Bird
Airport in Dallas.
Hassinger, the lone NTSU
member, said those interested in
joining may contact the club
president, Bob Crump of Dal-
las.
An initial fee of $30 entitles
the new member to instruction
and five jumps. The club fur-
nishes the equipment for the
first five Jumps.
Aircraft are now rented to
carry the skydivers aloft, but
Hassinger said that when mem-
bership increases the club hopes
to purchase its own plane.

New Training To Aid
North Texas Athletes
By BONNIE SLOAN
People say beat in# your head againttt a brick wall
doesn't get you anywhere. But coaches are ftnding that a
similar activity—trying to naive an immovable object—is
an excellent training device for athletes.
This supposedly new development in exercise, isome-
tric training, was mentioned a couple of weeks ago in the
Chat after it popped up in one of the physical education
special problems courses.
The practice has possibilities for athletic teams here
at North Texas, according to football trainer Jimmy Cody.
And it's not new, he says. It's very old, but was first
used under another name.
During this process of isometric training, which con-
sists of pushing or pulling against a bar, wall or other
stationary object, the body remains still.
CUTS COST OF KXKUCISINC
Since no barbells, dumbbells, pulleys or other costly
equipment are required, the exercise should be relatively
inexpensive.
When the exercise is performed, the muscles in the
body aren't lengthened or shortened, because the body
doesn't move, Cody said.
He explained that if weights are used they can re-
sult in bulging muscles, which are primarily good for brute
strength and show. Isometric training streamlines the mus-
cles, giving them strength but at the same time leaving a
quickness important to trackmen.
Isometric training also builds the tendons as well
as the muscles. A person who has worked with weights
has probably enlarged his muscles without changing the
tendons. When this is done, more stress is placed on the
tendons, leaving the person prone to injury.
LEGS CAN'T STAND STRAIN
One member of the football team who appeared to
be a great football player is practically lost to the team
because he is in this condition. He has sustained several
injuries because the tendons in his legs cannot stand the
strain his muscles exert on them.
Football and basketball players need more bulk than
track men, but the training can benefit them. Boxers can
develop a swift, hard, accurate punch with this training.
To be effective, Cody said, the training must be given
100 per cent effort for a period of from six to eight sec-
onds for each exercise.
DALLAS COWBOYS USE SYSTEM
The Dallas Cowboys started using this exercise last
season and since then other football teams have started
using it.
Cody plans to use the exercise for the varsity team
this fall. One exercise he has in mind is putting a football
player on a three-point stance and letting him try to push
down a goal post. The angle of the stance will be changed
slightly each time to insure maximum use of each muscle
involved.
