Southern Illinois Shotputter Excels Despite Hunting Injury
George Woods' 55-foot shot putting for Southern Illinois would draw little comment on the Midwest track circuit this spring, except for one small item. He's doing it with part of a foot shot away.
Goose hunting in the woods around Crab Orchard Lake near Carbondale last November. Woods was carrying an ancient-make 12-gauge shotgun. As he started up a slight knoll, the safety slipped and discharged a load of shot into his left boot. The boot was ripped to ribbons and a fat chunk of the left instep with it.
Now, three operations and a set of crutches later, Woods is almost back to his freshman peak of $56-21^{\circ}$. Two weeks after discarding his crutches, Woods made his varsity debut with $51-51^{\circ}$ in a February 9 indoor dual against the Kansas Jayhawkers. Since then he's progressed to 55-7 at the Kansas State Indoor Invitational and 55-4 in the Western Michigan Indoor Games.
"GEORGE WAS in the hospital three weeks," says Coach Lew Hartzog. "We didn't think he'd be ready until our outdoor opener, the Arkansas Relays. But George told me after the first operation . . . 'Coach, this will be just an interruption. It won't stop me. You don't need to worry about holding me out this year.'"
"He's staving up there good."
smiles Hartzog. "Ten of his last 12 throws have been over 55 feet. We think he'll be up to 58 or 59 during the Belays season."
ONE OF THOSE STOPS is the 38th Kansas Relays. The Salukis scored their first Mt. Oread victory in history here last year with a 9:53.9 time in the Distance Medley.
The truth is Wood's hasn't recovered yet. When he threw against KU's Yul Yost here, you could have fit a fat gas pipe into the raw slot in his left foot. He threw in a pair of oversized 13 tennis shoes. After three grafting operations he still shows a $2\frac{1}{2}$ by $\frac{1}{2}$ inch wound. He still is carrying 20 shotgun pellets in his foot too.
"If anybody can come back from an accident like that and do well Woods can," continues Hartzog. "The doctor said he's never seen such a determined guy. I haven't either. After he get out of the hospital he'd hop down every day and do his weight work. He couldn't work his legs but he actually increased his arm and upper body strength while he was recovering."
"I CAN'T FEEL 'em much." Woods remarks airily. "Now and then they sort of tickle the bottom of my foot." Since Woods was so willing, Hartzog started him on an 18-pound shot during the winter.
"He's got up to 53-0 with it."
Hartzog explains, "If he can do that he should add three or four feet with the 16-pound. We found out though, that he's getting his body ahead of the shot on the lighter one so we're going to quit working him across the ring with the 18-pound."
If the 6-3, 230-pound Sikeston, Mo., native continues to move up he'll be challenging the favorites here. An early checklist shows two Southwestern conference aces, Danny Roberts, Texas A & M, and Jim Lancaster, Baylor, over 56-0. A third, Lancaster's stablemate, Frank Mazza, is over 54-0.
Yost, 1963 Big Eight Indoor champion, has pressed his career high out to 57-6. Oklahoma's defending conference outdoor king, Dick Inman, hit 58-10 last year as a sophomore, and is approaching 54-0 coming back from a knee operation. His two stablemates, Preston Smith and Mike Miers, worked up to that range during the indoor season as did Colorado's Tom Galbos. Drake's Dave Magrane, who trailed Yost and Woods at K-State two weeks ago, has pushed his own school record out to 55-3.
Inman was runner-up for the Kansas crown last year at 55-31, behind Missouri's departed Don Smith, who scored a slam of the Midlands' Grand Circuit of Texas-Kansas-Drake. Mazza was fourth.
