1 0C Sunrinu nr 17, 1983 Hatllesburg AMERICAN 'Use body or lose it; a principle untested FIT gTAY BY DR. DAVID CUNDIFF youngsters are in the photo with Fuell? They are brothers Rick (left) and Bobby Cleveland, sports writers for the Clarion-Ledger and American, respectively. FORMER USM quarterback Don Fuell (16) will be one of five former football standouts to be inducted into the USM Sports Hall of Fame Saturday, April 30. Can you guess who the two 1.5 percent bone mineral loss per year between 35 and 50 years of age, and 2.5 percent per year between 50 and 65. It is estimated that between the ages of 30-70, that the average female has a 30 percent bone mineral loss.

Efforts to correct the calcium loss have been effective if certain preventive steps are taken, i.e., not smoking, calcium supplementation in diet, estrogen and floride supplements. Exercise may stabilize the content or retard the loss. For example, it is estimated that three hours of daily standing is the minimum effective duration for reversal of disuse loss of calcium. It would be extremely important to consult with your personal physician before undertaking corrective measures. The point of this article is not to suggest that physical inactivity is the cause of the aging process.

The evidence indicates it could speed the process. A' physically active life may allow us to approach our true biogenetic potential for longevity. It is hoped that an active life not only may allow us to live longer, but that the added years may be vigorous ones. It is proposed that a life actively lived gives the brightest promise for us to enjoy the later "best" years. By ensuring fitness, physical, mental and spiritual, we may be able to maintain our functional integrity, vigor and reach our full potential.

Cundiff, Ph.D. Director, USM Physical Fitness Box 10024, Southern Station Hattiesburg, MS 39406 "Use it or lose it," is a bilogical principle that has received insufficient attention where the human body is concerned. It may be fair to observe that the human body has never had the opportunity to test the hypothesis relating exercises to longevity.

Survival of the fittest to an advanced aye is really unrelated. During the long centuries in which our forefathers were physically active as a necessity of survival, they died of starvation, injury and infection. Currently in 'our golf-cart-take-it-easy-life, infection and starvation are largely controlled. We now die of degenerative diseases and the impact of physical inactivity may be considerable. Amazingly few animal experiments have been designed to determine specifically the effect of an exercise program on Most have not been designed properly.

Recently, a well-designed experiment was done to test this hypothesis. The researchers found that female and male rats, provided the opportunity for exercise, lived 11.5 percent and 19.3 percent longer respectively, than their cage-contained (non-exercise) controls. When reviewing the changes commonly attributed to the process of aging, it is strik ng how many of these changes accomp.my physical inactivity. The new science of space medicine has greatly expanded our understanding of the physiology of enforced rest and weightlessness. Among the most commonly noted physical changes with age is a loss of lean body mass (muscles, bone).

The average American gains one pound of weight per year after age 25. From 25 to 55 years of age, 30 pounds of weight are gained. However, 45 pounds of fat are gained during this period. Protein wastage or loss of lean body mass accounts for the additional 15 pounds of fat Hall of Fame list includes Avery, Arban. 'Bo', Milam gained.

Forty of the 43 American Astronauts suffered a net six-pound loss of body mass during flight. It has been estimated that bed rest causes a protein loss of eight grams per day. Numerous researchers have been able to show that an active exercise program is able to reverse the body composition changes in older persons. For example, master-class athletes have less than 14 percent body fat in contrast to the 30 percent or more of the average older person. Other studies have demonstrated that decreased muscle strength in aging, inactivity or weightlessness can be counteracted by a program of active muscle use.

Calcium wastage or loss is consistently recorded as one of the hallmarks of the aging process. Both matrix (structural network) and mineral content of bone contribute to this loss. Osteoporosis and hip (200,000 hip fractures year in women) and vertebral fractures are the epidemic results of this process. Currently, a four-year study is being conducted at the University of Wisconsin, (in third year) on women between ages 35 and 65. Those women on an exercise program are averaging .5 percent bone mineral loss per year.

Women not on an exercise program are losing Meyer favored in Marathon football coach at Pearl River JC. Sandwiched between the tenures was a two-year stay as an assistant at USM. He returned to PRJC as the head coach; and his teams have since compiled a 52-27-2 record and claimed one state championship. At USM he gained 006 yards rushing and averaged 15.4 yards on 29 pass receptions. A team leader in punt and kickoff returns, he also played defense.

Dickinson, whose collegiate career was interrupted by two years of military service, now resides in New Augusta and is a teacher in Lucedale. At USM he gained over 1,000 yards and for two seasons maintained a 40.4 punting average. He is co-holder (with Bubba Phillips) of the record for the longest run from scrimmage, at 87 yards. Dickinson also had a 5-2 pitching record in baseball. He played nine years of pro football, with the Chicago Bears, Montreal of the Canadian League, the Dallas Texans, Denver Broncos and Oakland Raiders.

His best season was with Denver in 1963 when he set the existing club record for pass receptions with 60. Fuell, who was elected "Mr. USM" in his senior year and who maintained a grade-point-average of 2.99 for three years as a chemistry major, is currently an aerospace engineer in Akron, Ohio, and he lives in Canton, Ohio. In 29 games for USM.he rushed for 980 yards and passed for 1,686. His completion percentage was 53.6 (119-of-222).

He ranks 12th in total offense and 12th in scoring on the all-time charts. Satcher, a native Mississippian noted mainly for his tremendous defensive ability in football but who was also a standout in baseball, now lives in Towanda, Pa. He has been maintanance foreman for the Eastern Hardboard Division of Masonite Corporation since 1971. Dr. Milam, just recently announced as a 1983 electee for the Mississippi Association of Coaches Hall of Fame, is a native Mississippian who was reared in Anguilla.

He attended Co-Lin Junior College and graduated from La. Tech before earning two degrees, including his doctorate from Columbia University. Prior to serving in the Navy in Hawaii in World War II, he coached for four years in Texas. He joined the USM faculty in 1947 and- rose to chairmanship of the Departmentof Physical Education and Recreation during a 32-year span that ended his retirement in 1979. He was chairman of the Faculty Athletic Committee from 1953 through his retirement.

From Special Reports Five former football standouts and a longtime faculty chairman of athletics will be inducted into the University of Southern Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame in ceremonies Saturday night, April 30. A pair of linebackers of the middle 1960s whom USM fans remember as two of the toughest "headhunters" in school history, two running backs whose careers parallelled in the middle '50s and a quarterback who led the team in total offense in each of his three years, are the gridders. The efx-linebackers are Ken Avery and Doug Satcher, the former quarterback is Don Fuell and the ex-runners are J.C. Arban and Richard Lee "Bo" Dickinson. This year's sixth inductee is Dr.

J. Lloyd Milam, long-time USM educator-administrator who was faculty chairman of athletics and volunteer academic counselor for more than 25 years. The University M-Club sponsors the Sports Hall of Fame. Club president this year is Vic Purvis of Jackson, who announced the names of the inductees following their election by a secret committee. Purvis also announced plans for two events annually associated with the election.

The first is set for 7 p.m. Friday, April 29, and will be a social honoring the electees. It will be held at the Peddler's Inn. Scheduled for Saturday night, April 30, is the 19th annual USM Sports Hall of Fame and Awards Banquet, which will feature induction ceremonies. The banquet is set for 7 p.m.

in the University Commons. Banquet tickets are priced at $10 each, and can be purchased at the Athletic Ticket Office in Green Coliseum. Two of the athletes elected this year are currently located in the Hattiesburg area while the other three are located in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida. Avery, whose career spanned the 1964-66 seasons, now resides in Coconut Grove, and is the owner and president of three businesses in Miami. After his senior season, the hard-nosed linebacker played in the Blue-Gray Game and was "most outstanding lineman" in the Senior Bowl.

His collegiate career was also followed by 10 active seasons in professional football. In his first year as a pro with the New York Giants, he was named to the "All-Rookie team" and was named "Defensive Rookie of the Year." Arban, who earned four letters beginning with the 1955 season, is presently in his second tenure as BOSTON (AP) Dan Schles-inger, the surprise third-place finisher in last year's New York City Marathon, said Saturday that he still regards himself as a novice at the 26-mile, 385-yard distance. But the first-year Harvard law student said he would not be intimidated by favorite Greg Meyer in Monday's Boston Marathon. I made the mistake of throwing myself into a race with Greg Merer and he just toyed with me," said Schlesinger, referring to the event on the track in the Colonial Relays at Williamsburg, April 2. Meyer won that race handily in 27 minutes, 54 seconds, with Schlesinger third in 28:45, a personal best.

Asked at a press conference whether he thought such a bad setback would cause him to be intimidated by Meyer in the 87th Boston Marathon, Schlesinger replied: "No. I think it will be his (Meyer's) raw talent that I will have to overcome." The 27-year-old Schlesinger, from Raleigh, N.C., said he also would have to overcome the hilly Boston course. "I have run only three marathons," said Schlesinger, "and all were on flat courses. I have never run a course with as many hills as Boston." Schlesinger did not run his first marathon until last year, placing ninth in the Korea Marathon at Seoul in a respectable 2 hours, 17 minutes, 59 seconds. Then, he improved his time by exactly four minutes, despite finishing 11th in the Nike-OTC Marathon at Eugene, in 2:13:59, before completing his year with the third-place at New York in 2:11:54.

"I still consider myself a relative novice at the marathon," said Schlesinger, who is being touted to provide Meyer with strong competition, along with four-time winner Bill Rodgers and 1982 third-place finisher John Lodwick. Schlesinger said he was approaching the race with a certain amount of uniqueness. Whereas most runners plan their strategy beforehand, he said he would not decide his race plan until halfway through the race "not until about the 13-mile mark." "Then, I'll evaluate the situation," he said. However, Schlesinger said his mental approach toward the Boston Marathon was different than for New York. "I wasn't too optimistic going into the New York race," he said.

"Here, the stakes are different. There is the victory at Boston (with its great tradition), and places on two international teams. I will have to gauge my steps differently."
