NEW YORK ( AP) In 'the largest
compensation award in . National
Basketball Association history, com
missioner Larry O'Brien awarded three
players and a No.l draft choice to the
Portland Trail Blazers yesterday as
payment for the signing of veteran free
agent center Bill Walton by the San
Diego Clippers.
In his monumental decision, the
'commissioner awarded forwaid-Kermit ,
Washington, center Kevin Ktinnert,
guard Randy Smith and a 1980 first
round draft pick to Portland as com
pensation for the 6-11 Walton,' who signed
a five-year, $1 million per year contract
with the Clippers last May 12.
However, O'Brien gave the Clippers
an option to retain the high-scoring
Smith, the most valuable player in the
1978 NBA All-Star Game. He ruled that if
•the Clippers paid $350,000 and assigned
their 1982 first-round draft selection to
the Blazers, they could keep Smith. , .
The outspoken, 26-year-old Walton
said he did not agree with the com

Sportsmedicine helps cure athletes' aches,

about the development of sportsmedicine and its im

Daily Collegian Sports Writer
Americans by the millions have been caught up in the
recent fervor to shed extra layers of fat, firm up flabby
muscles and join the ranks of the physically fit.
A 1977 Gallup poll reveals that almost 55 million
Americans exercise daily, almost twice the number
recorded in 1961.
Interest in competitive sports is also at an all-time
high. Men and women of all ages are flooding the
,nation's ballfields, gymnasiums, tennis courts, ice
rinks and golf courses to enjoy competing.
But as the number of participants goes up, so does the
number of sports-related injuries. Physicians, already
overburdened with general injuries and illnesses, were
crushed by the additional caseload of athletic maladies.
This factor, and increasing concern for the care.and
prevention of athletic injuries, provided the impetus
for a new specialized branch of medical science called
"sportsmedicine," although it is not officially
recognized by the American Medical Association.
Gabe Mirkin, co-author of "The Sportsmedicine
Book," defines sportsmedicine as the science that deals
with the physiological, anatomical, psycholOgical, and
biochemical effects of exercise, and includes such
diverse concerns as training methods, the prevention
and treatment of injuries, nutrition and the effect of
weather on the athlete.
To pass on the aspects of sportsmedicine to the
athletes, there has been an increase in the number of
physiologists, kinesiologists, podiatrWs, physical
therapists, trainers, chemists, nutritionists and
physicians that are specializing in the problems• of
athletes.
W. James Hochberg, coordinator of the sport
smedicine program at Penn State, said that many
factors led to the "sportsmedicine boom" in the United
States.
"First of all, there is increased concern, in
tercollegiately and interscholastically, about sports
injuries," Hochberg said. "There was definitely a need
for better care of the athlete. Parents were becoming
concerned and began putting pressure on the school
boards, who told the parents to write to their
congressmen."
During the 93rd Congress, the Dallums Bill was in
troduced requiring that schools and colleges have
available an athletic trainer as a means of reducing the
lEEE
after a workout with the Clippers. "It
wasn't what I had in mind. We were very
close to a championship team until this
morning (Tuesday), when the com
missioner took three of our better
players away. Indirectly, I'm somewhat
responsible for that "
San Diego owner Iry Levin, speaking
at a press conference, said he was "very
disappointed" with O'Brien's decision,
bift added that' the Clipliersl , `Will7bV an
excellent basketball team. We have
every confidence that this team will be a
strong contender in the NBA this
season."
The injury-plagued Walton had been
with the Blazers for all five of his NBA
seasons, but he missed nearly 50 percent
of the team's games because of a variety
of ailments. He did not play at all last
season.
But in the 1976-77 season, he led
Portland to its first NBA title and was
named the most valuable player in the
championship series, and the following
year, he won the league MVP award
after leading the Trail Blazers to a 50-10
record before being injured.
number of injuries caused by sports activities and to
mimimize their long-term effects. The bill did not reach
the floor for action.
"Congress tabled the bill to do a feasibility study on
it," Hochberg said. "And they found that there were not
enough certified people to fill all of the positions. This
indicated the need for more qualified people in the
field."
Hochberg also said that the dramatic increase in
sports participation contributed to the current growth
of sportsmedicine.
"With the increased sports activity in laypersons,"
Hochberg said, "the general doctors simply weren't
used to all of those sports-related injuries." .
'The liability problem did more to
promote the boom in sports med
icine than anything else. Teams
needed qualified people to care for
injuries and the equipment used
by the athletes.'
—VV.,James Hochberg, Penn State
coordinator of sportsmedicine
"Today's physician is overloaded with general in
juries, and with the increased number of sports-related
injuries, family doctors became severely overloaded,"
Hochberg added. "In the past, doctors would donate
their time to local high schools to serve as their team
physician. But with the increased caseloads, it is dif
ficult for doctors to find time to donate."
In addition, many schools were involved in legal
action involving injury care and faulty equipment. Out
of necessity, these schools and many others hired
qualified people to prevent legal liability.
"The liability problem did more to promote the boom
in sportsmedicine than anything else," Hochberg said.
"Teams needed qualified people to care for injuries and
the equipment used by the athletes."
All of these variables contributed to the appearance
of the certified athletic trainer, a chief product of the
sportsmedicine boom, at high schools and universities
all across the country.
Today's athletic trainer is more than a glorified
water boy, as he was thought to be in the past. He/she is

Golf more than hobby to Boyle family
By RON GA.RIiNER
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
Golf may be just a hobby for the
average weekend golfer, but to Penn
State golf coach. Joe Boyle and his two
sons, Jeb and Mike, it's more like a
way of life.
The Boyle family has been
associated with the Penn State golf
program since 1947 when Joe started
a three-year stint as a member of the
golf team, serving as team captqin
his senior year.
ARV' he graduated in 1950, Boyle
got the chance to coach when he was
hired as the assistant golf coach and
physical education instructor. In
1957, Bob Rutherford Jr., retired and
Boyle got the nod as head coach.
Twenty-three years later, Boyle
has an enviable 192-37-1 record in
dual meet competition and eight
Eastern championships under his
belt, including the championship
team he played on in 1948.
"We try to run a good golf program
here at Penn State," Boyle said, "but
we're not a golf mill. I've talked to a
lot of the players after they graduate
and they told me that . ' they got

LEWISBURG A bomb's fuse is only
so long.
The women's field hockey team, which
has been burning to get started since late
August, exploded past 'Bucknell 7-0
yesterday, unveiling a fast, physical and
multi-talented squad.
"It really was like an explosion," Penn
State coach Gillian Rattray said. "The
girls have just been leashed for so long
and they were really raring to go for this
first game."
The Bisons, inexperienced and
overmatched;.never had-a chance as the
Lady Lions slammed five goals past
Bucknell goalie Betsy Doyle in the first
half. Sophomore forward Jan Snyder
opened the barrage with a 15-yard drive

cise, health and advanced techniques in athletic
training which includes injury recognition, treatment
and rehabilitation.
The duties of the athletic trainer include setting. up
conditioning programs for the athletes, applying
protective or injury-preventive devices, working with
the team physician and the coaches to select protective
athletic equipment,the counseling and advising of
athletes, as well as injury care.
The sportsmedicine boom has also had a marked
effect on teams at the professional level, where medical
care of the athletes was not always what it should have
been.
"There is much better personnel at the pro level
today," Hochberg said. "Pro teams should have top
notch personnel to take care of their athletes a lot
better."
In addition to improved medical care, there has been
many new innovations in equipment at the pro level
that could eventually appear at the college and high
school levels.
For example, last fall an inventor named Byron
Donzis snuck into a Houston hospital with a friend and a
baseball bat to visit injured Oiler quarterback Dan
Pastorini, who was in the hospital with broken ribs.
Donzis introduced him Self and then his friend hauled
off and smashed Donzis across the ribs with the
baseball bat. Pastorini whinced, Donzis did not. Then
Donzis showed Pastorini how he had on an inflatable
vest.
Pastorini soon returned to action, sporting one of
Donzis' "flak jackets" and he led the Oilers to the
playoffs.
Now, the National Football League has agreed to
underwrite much of the research that Donzis does
pertaining to gridiron safety.
"This guy's probably got the right idea," Hochberg
said. "But the only time that anybody,wants something
like this is when somebody is, injured or when
something needs corrected." ,
Many football injuries could .be prevented through
' rule changes and better coaching techniques.
"People can control dangerous situations if they want
to," Hochberg said. "Like blocking,and tackling with
the head. Coaches could teach the Players not to do
this."
Sportsmedicine is concerned in these and many other
areas, but its goal remains to prevent injuries.
"Sportsmedicine represents a giant step, beyond the
time when physicians were concerned only with
treating injuries, we are now able 'to prevent them,"
Mirkin wrote in "The Sportsmedicine Book."

And now, Boyle's two sons help to
carry on the winning tradition of the
golf program.
"I've never had two kids that
worked any harder on golf," Boyle
said. "Golf can be a very expensive
thing, but Jeb and Mike provided all

Smith refused to accept all the praise
for her productivity. "A lot of credit is
due to the rest of the team's mid-field
play," she said. "They are the ones who
get the ball to the shooting circle and
that's why we had so many goals today.
We had a lot of shots."

and senior link Deb Malone, assisted by
her link-mate Mary Sue Patterson.
Essentially, Penn State completely
dominated arid controlled the offensive
possessions throughout the game. The
defense, playing its usual intense,
swarming game, thoroughly shut down
the Bucknell attack. Proof of this was
junior goalie Jeannie Fissinger being
called on to make just one save.
"The good thing about our defense is
they have the composure to recover and
they always back each other up,"
Rattray said. "There are no outstanding
individuals, but they play super as a
unit."
But the individuals who make up the
unit should not go unnoticed. Rare were
the times when Bucknell was. able to
the handles and I started banging golf
balls around."
"They grew up on these two
courses," coach Boyle added.
Despite their early baptism to golf,
neither Jeb or Mike pursued the
game seriously until much later.
!'I didn't get real serious until I was,
about 13," Jeb said. "Up until then, I
golfed mostly for the hell of it."

title;
BALTIMORE (AP ) The Baltimore
Orioles no longer have their own
uniformed clubhouse sommelier, as they
did when they were perennial pennant
winners, but the champagne is ready for
a 1979 celebration.
With the magic number down to three,
entering last night's game in Detroit, the
Orioles have 48 bottles of the bubbly on
order. And, when the time comes, they'll
pop the corks themselves.
It's been five years since Baltimore
won the American League East
championship, but for a team that won
97 and 90 games the past two seasons,
the Orioles were generally overlooked
last spring.
Most observers felt the defending
world champion New York Yankees and
the Boston Red Sox would battle for the
title, with the Milwaukee Brewers
considered the darkhorse contender.

In 35 games, the Orioles have come
from behind or broken a tie to win in the
seventh inning or later. Many of those
decisions were registered early in the
season, and it turned on the Baltimore
fans as never before.
With five dates remaining on the
schedule, the club will easily surpass
1,600,000 in attendance, topping the
previous high by more than 400,000.
Outfielder Ken Singleton and pitcher
Mike Flanagan have been the steadiest
performers. Singleton hasa career high
35 homers and 110 runs batted in, while
hitting .303, and Flanagan has a 22-7
record with a 3.19 earned run average.
But there's been lots of help from
many sources, including the bench
which constitutes what Manager Earl
Weaver refers to as his "deep depth."
