From the bestcollegiate wrestlers in the nation to themasked assassin, he has met them all, andhas conquered them all. His career hasspanned over 20 years as a wrestler,amateur and professional, and now it ispossibly at an end.His name is Dan Allen Hodge, and duringhis stay at the University of Oklahoma inthe late 1950s he won three NCAA titles andwas twice named the outstanding wrestlerin the national tournament. He had acollegiate record of 46-0, with 36 falls.He was inductedinto the NationalWrestling Hall ofFame in Stillwaterwearing a heavy, brace on his back andneck, the legacy of anaccident that mayfinally stop the manfew wrestlers could.Danny Hodge "It happenedMarch 15," he explained. "I was driving (inLouisiana) about four o'clock in the morningand fell asleep. I hit a bridge and wentoff into the swamp, but managed to swimaway."He managed to swim away, incidentally,with a broken neck. He should have beenfinished right there, but he wasn't. "He's upwalking around again, and thinks thebraces will come off soon."Monday I go back and have it x-rayed,"the Olympic silver medalist said. "Hopefully,the hardware will be removed."As a legend around his hometown ofPerry has it, Hodge more or less madehimself into the strongman he became. Hisfirst body building program? Rollingnewspapers."Well, I always wanted to be strong," hesaid simply. And strong he certainlybecame. One of the pictures on display in hissection of the Hall of Fame shows himholding two apples in each hand andcrushing all four of them into applesauce.As a senior at OU he pinned 20 consecutiveopponents and was never taken to the matfrom the standing position.He actually began his career not at OU,however, but in the Navy during theKoreanWar. He made the 1952 Olympic team andWANT A REASON TO READ IOWA'S":I"THE PREDICAMENT"?*/,DrakrourrspabXOll#2N1How about several reasonsIn - -.

WE'RE HARD TO BEAT!The PREDICAMENT, Inc.Box 43IOWA CITY, IOWA 52240Ifinished fifth at Helsinki while working forUncle Sam and set the staple for his 1956performance at Melbourne, Australia.He breezed into the finals and was leadinghis Bulgarian opponent by a wide marginwhen the referee, a Czech, gave the Bulgariana fall on a very controversial call."I was off the mat, time was out, andthe Czechoslovakian judge said it was a falland it wasn't," he said, the memory apparentlyrekindling hard feelings.Also in 1956, Hodge turned in one of themost amazing performances ever seen inAmerican sport. In one 10-day span he wonthe NCAA title as well as both the freestyleand Greco-Roman titles at the AAU tournament,pinning every foe, a feat somewhatcomparable to shutting out Michigan, OhioState and Oklahoma on the football field inthe same time period.From wrestling he turned briefly toboxing, becoming the first man in over 50years to win a national titlein wrestling andthe National Golden Gloves championshipas well.He leaves no doubt, however, as to wherehis loyalties lie."I love wrestling. Wrestling is thegreatest." One thing about Danny Hodge,he doesn't beat around the bush.But lest anyone mistakenly picturehim as some huge, hulking man who getshis jollies by throwing people around, it hasto be said that he is also a man who kisseshis mother on the forehead and gives littlekids autographs.Not the name-scrawled-across-amatchbookcover autograph, but the kindthat read, "To my good pal, Joey, God BlessYou, Danny Hodge."Indeed, he doesn't really even look thatstrong until he shakes your hand. But thenthat grip suddenly makes him MUCHstronger.So hopefully the contraption will come offand Hodge doesn't deny that he may wrestleagain."The doctors will decide," he said slowlyand walked away.Joining Hodge in the induction into theNational Wrestling Hall of Fame areFendley Collins, Michigan State; Art Griffith,Myron W.

We also had wrestlers which was well attended and wellsome great Bible studies with between 25-40 received.wrestlers and wives each week, covering Before my competition in Montreal, I wassome basics of the Christian life and how we coricentrating on some scripture thatGene DavisNCAA Champion 1Olympic Bronze Medalistrelated to "total performance." In Ecclesiastesit says, "Whatever your handfinds to do . . . do it with all your might.. ."IGod wants us to give all that we havephysically to accomplish a task. In I Timothyit says, "For God has not given usithe spirit of fear, but of power and of loveand of a sound mind." In other words, Godwants us to properly use not only ourphysical attributes, but also our intellectualcapacity as well. In the Gospel of Mark itsays, "And you shall love theLord your Godwith all your heart, and with all your soul,1and with all your mind and with all yourstrength." Here we see that love andobedience toward God should also encompassthe spiritual dimension. This attitude1in turn, will give us a special motivation toperform well as we are competing inathletics for God's Glory.My first four days of Olympiccompetitionwent very well. The first day, I defeated thetwo-time world champion from Mongolia 15-8; the second day I pinned the silver 1medalist from France; the third day I pinned ithe West German; and the fourth day Idecisioned the Russian 29-9. Thensomething happened to my strength andendurance the final day of competition. Itcould be connected with making flat weight(136.5) for five consecutive days. I lost two ,matches that day to the Iranian and the,Korean. The Mongolian then beat both ofthem to give the Korean the gold medal, theMongolian the dver and me the bronze. Atfirst it was kind of hard to thank God for"just" a bronze when the gold had seemed tobe within grasp, but as I reflected on my'performance, I was convinced that I hadgiven everything I had at the time.We thank you all that have been joiningus in prayer for the Olympic Games and foropportunities to share Christ. We thank Godthat the results have been exactly what Hehas purposed.II1977 Scholastic WrestlingCoach-of-the-YearScholastic Wrestling News willrecognize a national 1977 HighSchool Coach-of-the-Year.

Everytime I got changeI looked down at the silver in my palm and instead of seeingTruman, Jefferson and Washington I'd find double headed falconsand unfamiliar profiles. I was glad to see that I wasn't alone in mymonetary ignorance. Osgood and Foley are from Ohio. The wholeteam is from the Buckeye state except for two Pennsylvanians that"live near the Ohio border." Osgood reached into his pack andproduced a postcard photo of the team in their USA warm-ups. Onthe back of the card above their names was the title: "1976 AAUCultural Exchange Team From Ohio Going To West Germany,Switzerland, Austria." I wondered how many other teams werestranded short of their intended destinations. (It turned out that Ihad stumbled on the only one!) Something had to be done. CoachesDave McCarthy and Jim Greiner inventively kept the young menactive. Besides visits to the museums the athletes spent a daytouring the 1972 Olympic site. The team ran together and evenwrestled with each other on the grass in a nearby park.Memories of 'Cultural Exchange'Back in our room I talked with the photographer about what couldbe done to help them. We agreed that the documentary film shouldhave sightseeing athletes in it. A phone call to the States and AAUput a tour bus at our disposal the next morning. Having been toGermany several times I thought about the sites surroundingMunich and the "Cultural Exchange" aspect of the trip. We mappedour a day of sightseeing that we were sure would stay in the youngmen's memories for the rest of their lives.Morning again and the excitement was running high as the youngwrestlers wolfed down their coffee and rolls. As soon as we finishedour tea we went down to the lobby. Thewrestlers were already there.Using my most resonant director's voice I took charge, while we setthe camera up in the street. "Then when I give you the signal youguys stroll out of the hotel and board the bus." I admonished them tokeep looking straight ahead and not to look at the camera. Our firsttake was spoiled when a delivery truck decided to stop between thecamera and the wrestlers. The second try was blown when mycameraman leaped out of the way of a recklessly speeding Porsche.By the time we tried for the third time the sun had gone behind acloud and we didn't notice it until we had shot half the scene. We gotit on the fourth take. It looked like it was going to be a long day. Wefollowed the bus to Dachau in our little red rental car. Speedingahead of them we set up the camera in time to shoot the wrestlersgetting off the bus and walking toward the gates of one of the ThirdReich's most infamous prison camps.As the young men passed through the barbed wire fence andcrossed the shallow ditch into the barren yard conversation stopped.It was a gray morning. The air was still. The only sound was thecrunch of the athletes' footsteps on the loose gravel of theappellplatz (roll call square).

Asthe season progresses, a wrestler willlose weight, strength, and resistanceto disease, he tends to tear downrather than build up. Strength andspeed coupled with the athlete'swrestling skill will certainly makehim a better wrestler. Therefore, it isimportant to build and maintainstrength, speed and flexibilitythroughout the season. Musclestamina and endurance are the keyfactors plus injury prevention andrehabilitation that a well plannedweight training progran can add towrestling - conditioning. -When Should You Weight Train?The proper time to weight train in relationship to wrestlingworkouts becomes a very important factor, as well as your mentalapproach to the training. Mental concentration on speed andexplosion on each repetition is extremely important to train the"fast twitch" muscle fibers rather than the "slow twitch" fibers.The significance of this training approach will increase the~ --athlete's ability to be quick and strong rather than just strong andslow. Running both distance and sprints should be part of the totalprogram. Th;distance running should be done in themorning before breakfast especially if you desire to trim downprior to the wrestling season. Two circuits of the weight programfollowed by 10-100 yard dashes will also accomplish as much foryou as a 3 to 4 mile run. Plus the fact, you gain total body musclestamina and endurance and maintain or increase strength.Best for WrestlersThe speed (mental concentration on explosion) with whichfunctional capacity increases suggests that the central nervoussystem, as well as the contractile tissue, is contributing to a veryimportant component of training. The well conducted weighttraining program should include the following essential factors:(1) The resistance exercise should be performed using multiplejoint motion, i.e., bench press, shoulder press, lat pull, leg press,(Continued on page 7)ATHLETIC TRAINER'S VIEWON LOSING WEIGHTBy Phillip Houser, Athletic TrainerMadison Township High SchoolAmerica is a country that will allow anyone the opportunity tobecome rich and famous. Anyone who invents a gadget that willmake becoming physically fit easy or anyone who writes a dietbook has a high chance of becoming rich and famous. TheAmerican consumer spends billions each year on items that willallow them to eat whatever they wantand as much as they want and stillallow them to stay slim and trim withlittle or no effort.The high school athlete is a memberof America's largest and most influentialgroup: youth. The highschool athlete, however, is also influencedby America. Many youngmen and women are seriously influencedby practices that otherpeople, especially professionalathletes, adhere to. The high schoolwrestler of today is no exception.Amidst this air of confusion aboutwhat is and isn't good nutritional-PHILLIP HOUSERAthletic Trainerpractice, what are and aren't sound exercise programs and whatconstitutes proper and improper sports medical practices, the highschool wrestler fights his way to the state tournament.How Fat Are You?What a person weighs is usually applied as an indicator as to thehealth of that individual. Therefore, many wrestlers associategood health with losing weight and better health with losing moreweight. Rather, the athlete should apply the following principle asa guideline: what a person weighs is not as important as how muchof what that person weighs is fat. For example, a person can weigh190 pounds and be in better physical health than a person whoweighs 120 pounds. What is used as one indicator of good healthisthe percentage of body fat that the person possesses. The idealpercentage in America is 16%. Unfortunately, the average inAmerica is 18-20%. If someone is measured to have 20% body fat heis classified as overfat-25% classifies the individual at obese.There is a difference between overfat and overweight. Mostathletes will be overweight; that is, they will weigh more thanwhat is recommended for the height. This is understandable sincemuscle tissue weighs more and is more dense than fat tissue. Aperson who is overfat possesses excessive amounts of fatregardless of how much they weigh.There is a point at which a wrestler should have a certain(Continued on next page)October 15,1976-SCHOLASTIC WRESTLING NEWS

To lose more thana certain amount would drain him of reservesources of energy and seriously hinder hisathletic performance. In wrestling, 5% isprobably the lowest that a wrestler canwrestle and still have stamina. Duringtournaments, the percentage of fat will playan even greater role due to the number ofmatches that he must wrestle in one or twodays.Physical activity and reduced food intakewill cause a weight loss by forcing the bodyto burn the energy which is stored as fat.An athlete in season will probably weighless than he would when he is out-of-season.There are several methods of measuring thepercentage of body fat. One method, theskinfold method, involves the pinching offolds of skin in various locations on thebody. The rationale behind the skinfoldmethod is that the pinched fold of skin iscomposed of subcutaneous fat and not themuscle tissue. The thicker the skinfold, thegreater amount of fat present not only inthat spot but throughout the body.Recently, I applied the Yuhaz method ofdetermining the percentage of body fat onthe top four finalists in each weight class ofthe New Jersey State Wrestling Tournament.I was looking to discover if there was adesirable percentage of body fat forwrestlers and whether or not this percentagechanged with the different weightclasses.

Boys in the 122, 129, 235,141,148 and 158-pound classes should striveto maintain a 10% body fat level.

Two of the three lowest weight classesaveraged approximately 9 percent body fat.The only class that didn't was 101-poundswhich averaged 10.1 percent; however, evenin this class three of the four finalists hadapproximatley 9 percent while the remainingfinalist measured 11.2, thus raising theaverage to 10.1 percent.2. From the fourth weight class, 122pounds, on there is a recognizable trend; themiddle weights, 122-158 pounds, all averagedaround 10 percent, 170 pound classaveraged around 23 percent, 188-poundclass rose up to 15.7 percent and theheavyweight class averaged 23 percent.3. With the exception of the 148, 188 andheavyweight classes, all other state championshad a percentage of body fat lowerthan the average of the top four finalists inhis class.4. In five out of the 12 weight classes, thegreatest amount of fat was measured on thecrest of the hip. Three classes measured thegreatest amount of fat at the outside borderof the right shoulder blade. Two classesmeasured equally between the hip and theabdomen. One class measured equallybetween the hip and the back. One classmeasured the greatest amount of fat on theabdomen.5. All weight classes recorded the lowestamount of fat on the arm with the exceptionof 101-pounds which recorded the leastamount on the back. The 135-pound classmeasured equally on the arm and the back.Conclusions and Recommendations1. It would seem on the basis of this initialstudy that the wrestler who can maintian afat for energy. The heavier wrestlers, due tosize, often demonstate less skill and finessein the matches, rather relying upon strengthand brute force which requires more energythus leaving the participants more physicallydrained at the end of a &minute bout thana 101-pound boy. For example, in the 188-pound class the higher the boy finishedamong the top four, the higher was hispercentage of body fat. This, of course, mustbe accompanied by skill and physical conditioning.4. The amount of fat located on the hipwas measured to be the highest of the fourmeasurements on 8 out of the 12 classes. Theback was measured to be one of the highestreadings on 4 out of the 12 weight classes.The abdomen only entered the top spot in 3of the 12 weight classes. Due to the use thatthese areas get this is not surprising.The muscles of the upper back, particularlythe trapezius, are responsible formovements such as raising the arm out tothe side, pulling the head backwards andpulling the arm backwards. Themusculature of the hip area is involved inrunning and standing. These movementsare movements that are sometimes seen inwrestling but are not movements which aresustained or repeated often enough to buildstrength. Wrestling involves the use of thefront and back of the arms for pulling,pushing, gripping, squeezing and mustoften do so several times in a 6-minuteperiod of time. It would be expected that thearms would measure less fat than areas notused as much. The back of the left armmeasured to be the area possessing the leastamount of fat in 11 out of the 12 weightclasses.Page 6October 15,1976-SCHOLASTIC WRESTLING N EWS
