Stiff and Sore Muscles In the first group there are those stiff muscles which may come from over-work or from unaccustomed or extremely violent exercises; also, light bruises or bumps. These are numerous and cut efficiency and team work, greatly retarding team _ pro- gress. Treatment—Use Athletic Liniment. Pour on and rub vigorously. This cleans out the pores of the skin. Wipe with a towel to remove waste mater- ial, and allow quicker penetration. Then apply more Athletic Liniment and massage, keeping surface well lubricated to prevent excessive irri- tation. To get the best results, we suggest at least four applications av each treatment. The treatment assists nature by stimulating the flow of blood into the affected parts and should be assisted by continued exercise. —o— Massage It has been said that a muscle which is injured in action needs “oxy- gen and washing” if it is to regain its normal condition quickly. Massage is the best method available to se- cure new blood and accelerate the movement of destroyed tissue. Massage should be given in a slow, regular stroking movement at the rate of about 20 per minute. Cup the hand to fit the injured part. Start easy, and as relaxation comes, in- crease pressure with firm even strokes. As the pain decreases, in- crease the swiftness of the stroke, al- ways keeping the surface well lubri- cated with Athletic Liniment. The beneficial results of massage are more noticeable in track, where split seconds count. Special Note—Every coach should try to develop a sense of “touch” in massaging, as some injuries are badly bruised and a light, delicate handling is required. CY SHERMAN Sports Editor, Lincoln Star. Mr. Sherman has been a_ sports writer for 33 years, and a reporter for 50 years. His name belongs in the honored group of famous newspaper men who have helped to maké ath- letics what it is today. In group No. 2. the deep seated bruises and contusions have created a condition of stagnation and con- gestion, causing poor circulation. The objective is to stimulate the flow of blood through the injured areas. This can best be done by using Athletic Red Hot Ointment. It is a counter ir- ritant, generates warmth, and draws into the wound a greater amount of blood, which carries away the des- troyed tissue. Treatment—Apply a light coating over the entire injured area. It can be covered with a cloth, if desired, but do not bandage tightly. Covering with a hot towel will hasten the ac- tion. Repeat as necessary. It does not blister. Beware of neglecting this kind of an injury as serious complications are almost sure to develop. Special Note—When you have gen- erated the heat desired and wish to stop the increase, wash the entire surface with Athletic Antiseptic Aleohol and dust with Antiseptic Powder. This gives heat control and no athlete will object to Red Hot Ointment if he knows it can be re- moved when desired,
