to winning four league games they
lost (two with Florida and twp
with Kentucky). In fact, in each
of these games the Bulldogs had
men on base in the last inning
and needed only a single to win
the game. They lost these par

11 innings, 5-3 to Florida in 10
innings, 3-1 and 4-3 to Kentucky.

Americans Take Jogging To Heart
More and more Americans are
throwing their hearts into jogg
ing these balmy Spring days.
Jog for your life, doctors say,
and nearly 5 million gasping
Americans —mostly middle-aged
males-- are doing just that as
they pursue trim waistlines and
longer lives in parks, offices,
streets and even hotel corridors.
Jogging is running at a slow
pace. As a physical fitness ex
ercise, it is the total act of al
ternating slow running with walk
ing. Medical authorities hold
that exercises such as jogging,
which help you take in more oxy
gen and cause your heart to pump
more blood, are best for ward
ing off heart attacks.
According to one heart specia
list, "lack of exercise is one
of the risk factors in heart ail
ments. Jogging is a mild form
of exercise. If the jogger’s
heart is sound, regular jogging—
within sensible limits—is likely
to lengthen his life span.”
Air Force Dr. Kenneth H.
Cooper in his best-selling book
"Aerobics” says running is the
best exercise for increasing oxy
gen consumption and Improving
the cardiovascular and pulmon
ary systems. Noted heart spec
ialist Dr. Paul Dudley White en
dores all running sports because
they force exertion and ease ten
sion, and Dr. Warren R. Guild,
of Boston, calls joggin “living
Insurance.”
The president’s Council on
Physical Fitness strongly app
roves of joggin and the American
Heart Association says "we’re
all for it, so long as the jogg
er is examined by a physician
and follows his advice on fre
quency and amount of exercise.”
Jogging has other advantages
as well. It’s fun for one thing.
Also, it helps you lose weight
and contributes to a general feel
ing of well-being. Another plus
is that almost anyone can jog
anywhere. No special equipment
or facilities are needed and It
requires relatively little time.
It does have pitfall, however, es
pecially for the beginner. So be
fore you buy sweatsuit and sneak
ers you might consider these few
helpful hints from the makers
of Bayer Aspirin.
As a first step, the American
Medical Association recom
mends that you undergo a tho
rough physical examination. Once
your doctor gives you the go
ahead, you should start by deve
loping and practicing the pro
per technique. A basic rule asks
that you stand straight when jog
ging. Keep your back as str
aight as naturally comfortable.
Keep your head up, neither

forward nor back of the body
line. Elbows are bent slight

should move freely from the hips.
The knees lift while the ankles
remain relaxed. Land on the
heel of the foot, rock forward

the foot.
Wear comfortable clothing. Al
most any casual outift will do.
Avoid rubberized or plastic
clother, however, since they
cause sweating and high body
heat. Shoes are important. They
should be sturdy with rubber,
crepe, ripple or neolite soles.
Shoes especially made for track
and long distance running are
fine. Sneakers and tennis shoes
should be of the heavy variety.
Start gradually. Jog no more
than a quarter of a mile the
first time out. Run until you’-
re tired, walk, run a little more,
walk, and so fouth until you’ve
covered the distance. After your
first run your calf muscles may

be stiff for several days—a fair
ly common sympton even for
competitive runners. When that
happens a couple of aspirin tab
lets and a warm bath will soothe
those aching muscles until you
really hit your stride. In
crease your distance gradually
until you achieve a sensible
regimen. For some, this may
mean as much as two or three
miles a day, three times a week.
Most of all, keep it up. A
physical fitness program isn’t
much good unless you stay with
it. And jogging is no exception.
So put your heart into it. You’-
ll live longer.

BILLY CASPER
Golfer of the Year 1968
by Doug Treadwell
Out of aH of the golfers
that are on the PGA tour
today, Billy Casper is with
out a doubt the master per
former. In 196 8, he won
more money in one year than
any other man who ever
walked down the fairways.
Last year, he set an all time
high by winning $205,168.67
in official money. Since
turning pro in 1954, Casper,
who will be 38 on June 24th,
has earned well over $900,-
000. At present, he is second
on the all-time official mon
ey winning list.
Casper, who a few years
back could have been con
sidered rotund, has trimmed
down to a respectable 175
pounds on an exotic diet of
rare animal meats, but he
still suffers from allergy
problems.
This allergy problem has
given him trouble for some
time. It doesn’t seem to be
the season as much as it
does the locality. In March
of this year, he had to with r
draw from the National Air
lines Invitational because he
had an attack. In fact, Billy
left Miami virtually unable
to play golf. This is a shame,
because the Florida segment
of the tour is the richest of
all.
Due to the fact that the
touring pros and the PGA
were having troubles, the
PGA departed from tradition
and didn’t name a Golfer
of the Year. It is conceded
that it would have been
Billy, but even though the
recognition would have been
great, he didn’t need it. By
winning six tournaments
and finishing high in 19 oth
ers, he set a new record for
money won in one year. Be
sides that, his average
strokes per 18 holes played
during the season was 69.82.
It was the lowest of all of
the pros on the tour.
In all, Billy Casper has
won over 40 tournaments.
Out of these, two were U. S.
Opens. One was in 1959 and
the other, he overcame a
seven stroke deficit to beat
Arnold Palmer for the 1966
Open.
Billy credits his 1968 tour
nament success to alertness,
better driving and to the
fact that he started the tour
well rested. He said, “I made
better decisions. I felt good.
I had solved my allergy
problems and my converting
to the Mormon faith has
given me a new peace of
mind.”
As a hopby, Billy shoots
pool to sharpen his golfing
eye. It must pay-off, because
he is one of the best putters
in the game.
So far in 1969, Casper has
won one tournament, The
Bob Hope Classic. He want
ed the Masters bad, but had
to settle for a three way
tie for second.

ORLANDO CEPEDA
CEPEDA-His Hits Always
Count: Orlando Cepeda, the
newest member of the Braves,
was one of the big reasons the
team held first place in the
National League’s Western
Division for almost the first
full month of the season.
“Cha Cha” was batting under
the .250 mark, yet most of
his hits were timely ones that
led to victories. And his
presence inthe Braves’clean
up spot was forcing enemy
pitchers to pitch No. 3 batter
Hank Aaron. Hank’s average,
zoomed over .400.
Here’s an interesting note
about how success has fol
lowed Cepeda: the Giants
teams he played for, from
1958 to 1965, finished third,
third, fifth, third, fifth, third,
fourth and second; the Cardi
nals teams he played for fin-

AFIELD.
The reason the 20-gauge shot
gun has become so popular on
the upland scene: It is light and
handles with a crisp, sure feel
ing; the standard ammunition
is light, easy to carry and plenty
powerful for small game; and
the two- and three-quarter-inch
magnum and three-inch magnum
loads give the 20 as much sak as
a standard 12-gauge load, when
needed.—SPOßTS AFIELD.

NO NICKNAMES? Not On
the Braves: The would-be
prophets who say Baseball
teams never hang nicknames
on their players haven’t fol
lowed the Braves lately.
Cepeda is “Cha Cha”, or
“The Baby Bull”. Pat Jarvis
is, of course, “The Little
Bulldog”. Sonny Jackson is
“Bony”. Hank Aaron is “The
Hammer”. Felix Millan is
“The Kitten”. Walt Hriniak
is "Rat”. You can’t leave
out “Knucks”, Phil Niekro.
And how about Claude Ray
mond, "Frenchy”? And,
“Hondo”, Jim Britton, and
“Big Cece”, Cecil Upshaw.
Broadcaster Milo Hamilton
is the man responsible for the
colorful nicknames. The play
ers like them, and it adds a
lot of color to the Braves’
games.
