(Photo by James Kozemchak) School wrestlers consistently are encouraged by coaches to lose weight to compete in the lowest possible weight class but the methods used actually can decrease the youths’ ability to win. Weight reduction practices used in wrestling in Penn- sylvania and else-where have become a major worry for physicians who find them unhealthy and often dangerous. As weigh-in time for the first meet approaches, coaches often place the athlete on a semi- starvation diet, almost eliminate water and salt intake and then have exercises in heavy sweat suits to force copious perspiration.

Unwanted results include a decrease in blood volume, reduced delivery of oxygen to tissues, lowered ability of the kidneys to remove waste products, an increase in body temperature and heart rate.

One physician has suggested that the practice of weighing each wrestler before each meet be discontinued in favor of two surprise weigh-ins annually which would determine the wrestler’s weight class for the remainder of the year regar- dless of subsequent weight fluctuations. At the very least, those concerned with sports medicine suggest that coaches weigh all wrestlers before and after every ‘practice session. They say any boy’ who loses more than five pounds during a practice session must be watched carefully and that if the loss per session approaches 10 pounds, activity should be reduced immediately. : It is also urged that wrestlers have free access at all times to water or a dilute salt water solution. Winning a match or a meet is important, but is it as important as a boy’s health?

Charlie Griffen scored twice for Dallas, hitting paydirt on 12 and 1 yard runs. Three times, his PAT was good. By the time 3:41 had ticked off the scoreboard, Dallas was went to the Patriots, but on the first play from scrimmage, they gave up the pigskin as Dallas defensive end Rich Miskiel recovered the fumble. From the Patriots’ 38, Gary Arcuri drove 38 yards in six plays with Griffen making the score. Griffen made the PAT. Griffen kicked off for the Mounts, but they had the ball back at the 29-yard line of the Patriots’.

The Mountaineers are home again Saturday when they play host to Meyers at 2 p.m. The victory was the 100th for Jack Jones who began coaching at West Pittston in 1953 where he remained for five years. He took over the helm at Meyers in 1958, where in four years his team won three straight Wyo- ming Valley Conference cham- pionships. Coach Jones stayed at Temple University for seven years as an assistant coach before he came to Dallas where he took command in 1968. Last year the Mountaineers ended the season as Class B champs in the Wyoming Valley Conference and started off the season of 1972 by defeating Class A champs, Wyoming Area. Last week’s game with Bishop Hoban was won by Dallas, and the Patriots’ Saturday loss to the Mounts made it 100 wins for Jones.
