Mitchell's Five-Point Plan Disposes of Heat Problems
For those dainty souls who think they couldn't survive the hot summer months without the comforts of air conditioning, it must come as a shock to see KU football players participate in twice daily workouts in early September when the thermometer indicates summer is still here.
Last year, a small—but glaring wave of deaths of high school and college football players resulted from strenuous activity in the sessions under the broiling sun.
But, heat exhaustion wasn't a problem among Jayhawk players, a fact Coach Jack Mitchell attributes to a five-point preventive program
- A complete daily record is maintained on each player for his salt-tablet consumption.
- Each player is given a handful of crushed ice in the middle of each afternoon practice, giving players a 10-minute break where they can squelch their thirst and cool their body temperature.
- Periodic checks are made by Dean Nesmith, KU trainer, and his assistants to make sure nobody has stopped perspiring.
- Air-conditioned sleeping quarters are provided.
Mitchell started the five-point plan when he was head coach at the University of Arkansas. It has been developed further by Nesmith.
"We never had any trouble with heat prostration," Mitchell said. "We always have watched this thing closely. We'll watch it even more closely this year."
Asked about last year's wave of casualties and fatalities, Mitchell said:
"There always have been boys that became exhausted working out in the heat. The thing is now squads have practically doubled in size since the war. Therefore, your problems have doubled. There are bound to be more casualties in football because there are more boys playing the game."
