Page Two Published by the Cramer Chemical Co. THE FIRST AIDER Gardner, Kansas each day, and all minor scratches and injuries are checked very carefully. A scratch, blister or minor injury at this stage of training may develop in- to’something serious. At the end of ten days the men should be in condition for scrimmage, and from this time on a certain a- mount of scrimmage is included in each day’s program. These scrimmage sessions never last more than one half hour for any individual man, and not more than three days a week. We try to do our real hard work before the first game. oo A New Book on Basketball “BETTER BASKET BALL”—A new book by Dr. Forrest C. Allen is just off the press. It includes:—TECH- NIQUE—fundamentals of the game; TACTICS—execution of plays; and TALES—stories of great games from an inspirational standpoint—It also contains the latest in treatment of athletic injuries. It is published by McGraw, Hill ané Company of New York and may be ob- tained from them or your sporting goods dealer. —@—— Cold Sores on the Lips For cold sores and fever blisters on the lips just apply Athletic Tr. Ben- zoin Comp. Several applications will clean up the worst cases in a very short time. This method of treatment is used in many hospitals. ——?— In cases of shock—when the athlete is lying on the ground—pour a little liquid off of your bottle of Smelling Salts onto a handkerchief (smell it yourself to find out the strength) then hold it over the nose of the in- jured player, allowing him to breath the fumes at about every third breath Feed it to him steadily—do not crowd the treatment. ED WALKER Head Football Coach “Ole Miss” Preliminary Football Workouts By Ed Walker, Athletic Director and Head Fcotball Coach University of Mississippi. We use the standard setting up ex- ercises for building up the legs and upper body. Squatting exercises, roli- ing exercises, kicking exercises, bend- ing, dipping, duckwalking and push- ups. A little later on we have live tackling, with the man being tackled standing still, and the tackler charg- ing two steps for the tackle. Also we charge forward three steps throwing a rolling block both to the right and to the left, “Two on one” practice is used by . the ends and halfbacks on the tackles, the same being used on the guards on each other. As we progress toward scrimmage we have live blocking and tackling. That is—actual tackling of the ball carriers who have a limited ace in which to run. We have live blocking in this same limited space. We find that by using the limited running space that we are assured plenty of actual contact between tackler and runner, and runner and blocker. We use the dummies to il- lustrate the proper technique in tackling and blocking but find that the live blocking and tackling is the only way to prepare for actual game play. => ; A Few Suggestions from Dr. Bohler, Team Physician, University of Mississippi We always use Benzoin before tap- fe aaocecse It’s use prevents tape ras We always “pack” shin splints with Analgesic Balm because it keeps sus- tained warmth for many hours. We also get good results from this Analgesic pack on, “stone bruise” or heel injuries. Before the game we do not feed a ncon meal but give a heavy break- fast of energy producing foods but no heat producing foods. With this ay breakfast we allow lots of cof- ee. For the athlete who prefers to do ali of his conditioning on the training table, when there is nothing wrong with him, we apply Athletic Red Hot Ointment freely in places where it will be most annoying. This is our “bums rush.” i The initial care given to an injury may determine the entire outcome. Immediate treatment properly ex- ecuted—means early recovery. If the first treatment is thorough the rest of the treatment is simplified. W. O. SPENCER teams are always a threat WILBUR HUTSELL Coach Alabama Tech. (Auburn) ; | FORREST E.
