Spilyay Tymoo Page 10 February 2,1982 Spilyay Tymoo 1 ""A SPORTS Footwear can make the difference Mini-Marathon Update by Julie Mitchell Footwear can mean the difference between success, f a ilu r e , a n d in ju r y in competition. It is essential that athletes attempt to lit themselves with proper shoes and socks. Poorly fitting socks can cause abnormal stresses on the foot. Socks that are too long can cause skin irritatio n because of their wrinkles. Socks that are too short crowd the toes, especially the inner two. Even more damaging than p o o rly fitte d socks are im p ro p e rly fitted shoes. Repeated abnormal pressures t o . the foot often, lead to permanent structural defor mities as well as lead to potentially dangerous calluses and blisters. Improper shoeing r e s u l t s in m e c h a n ic a l disturbances, affecting the body’s total postural balance. Fitting sports footgear is always dificult, mainly because the individual’s left foot varies in size and shape from the right foot. To properly fit the sports shoe, the athlete should simulate the conditions under which he will perform, such as wearing game socks, jumping up and down, or running. Under performance conditions the new shoe should feel snug but not tight because it will stretch with wear. The length of the sports shoe should allow enough space that all toes can be wiggled without being cramped. The shoe’s width should perm it full movement of the toes. A good point to remember is that the wide part of the shoe should match the wide part of the foot. This allows the shoe to crease evenly when on the balls of the feet. The shoe should bend at its widest part. Other factors to consider when buying the sports shoe are the stiffness of the sole and the width of the narrowest part of the sole. A shoe with a stiff nonflexible sole places a great deal of extra strain on the foot tendons. A too narrow sole does not adequately support the heel-to-toe arches of the foot. When shopping for sports footgear keep in mind the following questions: 1. What-do I expect from a sports shoe? 2. Am I purchasing the shoe for reasons other than fit and comfort? 3. How much can 1 afford to spend for the expected performance of a shoe? T o o o f te n , s h o p p e r s purchase sports footgear for appearance, for relief from high pressure sales talk, or to be up with the latest in innovation and design. Remember jto consider the purpose of the shoe in relation to its cost. A well fitting, com fortable, inexpensive,! low-cut canvas shoe is. worth much more to your feet than an expensive, toe-pinching, leather high top. ■ Burns who? White Buffs top Burns Well, that’s what the story r looked like on the night of January 22, on the Butt Basketball court. The Buffs playing somewhat ragged the first few minutes, p u lle d th e ir c o m p o su re together and managed a five point advantage at the end of the first stanza. Things started to jell in the second and the Buffs seemed to take control of the game leading 38-26 at halftime. The second half play saw the B uffs io g o o d c o n tr o l throughout the two quarters, steadily pulling away from the visiting Hilanders with the final score 76 to 57. Madras had five players in double figures with Scott Stinnett and Scott Ditmore each with 16; Roman Suppah 13, Fortson 12 and Blackman 10. Coach Blinco used the entire bench during the closing minutes of the game, Suppah and Andy Leonard o f W arm S p rin g s w ere producing some good plays, a s s is ts a n d r e b o u n d in g , another local boy who saw some action was Allen Gilbert. With just seconds to play Leonard gave the crowd a thrill as he broke across the lane, received a pass from Blackman, jumped, turned and swished a hook shot just before the final buzzer. The win puts the Buffs on top of the Greater Oregon League with a 3-1; Nyssa 2«J; Burns 1- 1; Grant Union 1-2; Mac Hi 1- Madras High White Buffaloes stomped the Burns Hilanders 76-57 on January 22 at Madras.
