Washington 115 Milwaukee 107, Phoenix 92 Houston 124, Kansas City 110 Golden State 116, San Antonio 111 NEW YORK (AP) Some athletes are finding a new way to ease the weight of the world.
They're strapping themselves into ankle boots and hanging upside down. The practice is called "Gravity Inversion." While some physicians question its side effects, players from various sports have found the system helpful in relieving back stress. "Many of our players use the inversion system to relax" said Ray Melchiorre, head trainer for the National Basketball Association's Boston Celtics. "The big guys who take a lot of hammering on the lower back especially like it." "IT MOSTLY just stretches you out and stretches the legs," said Rick Robey, one of the Celtics who regularly "hangs" himself. "It relaxes the back muscles and gives you better circulation." Weightlifters, too, have found benefit in the system, in which a person straps on ankle boots with hooked clamps and hangs head-first from any sufficiently high horizontal bar.
"Many of our lifters use it after workouts, to warm down the muscles and decompress the spine," said Harvey Newton," coach of the U.S. Olympic weightlifting team in Colorado Springs, Colo. "We use it mostly to relax." The system was invented by Dr. Martin Roberts, 72, a practicing orthopedist who say he hangs several times a day. He claims it's all a matter of putting gravity to work for you.
"If we do nothing but sit, stand or lie, the force of gravity makes us lose a half inch in height every 20 years," said Roberts. "This compresses the body and damages circulation." "THERE IS better way to counteract or neutralize the compressive effect of gravity than to utilize this same gravitational force to effect the opposite, namely decompression," Roberts writes in his book, "The Gravity Guiding System." The system is not widely used by by doctors or therapists. Neither the American Medical Association nor the American Chiropractic Association have taken a formal position on gravity inversion. Some doctors who know about the system, however, said it should be viewed with reservation." "It's useful if you are young and in good shape," said Dr. Juilius Dintenfass, a chiropractor in New York.
"But it may place excessive stress on the body, while other, more gentle traction techniques can achieve much the same thing." ROBERTS CLAIMS that side effects such as dizziness disappear within minutes of righting oneself. He also says that, in addition to helping the back, hanging aids circulation and relieves pressure on arms and legs.

Florida, SMU, Texas Christian, Cal-Santa Barbara, UCLA, New Haven, West Texas Wichsta Wisconsin. NEW YORK In and out of the ring, boxing always has been typecast as a brutal business, the "red light district" of sports. And it is. But boxing is almost a boys' choir now in contrast to the garbage dump that so much of college athletics has become. Call college athletics the "green light district" of sports now.
Anything goes. Boxing at least has an alibi. By its nature, boxing attracts con artists and schemers. But college athletics is supposedly monitored by the best and the brightest of higher education. IN COLLEGE athletics, as in boxing, the bigger they are, the harder they fall.
UCLA is even on probation now for basketball recruiting violations, the same UCLA that always appeared to be free of sin when John Wooden was the coach. Last week charges of misconduct were leveled at Florida State's basketball program and South Carolina's women's basketball program. And on Friday convicted Boston College point-shaver, Rick Kuhn, was sentenced to 1 0 years in prison. "It's really the system that allows these things," James Bozeman, the former Florida State basketball player who disclosed the alleged abuses there. "It's not just one school." At too many schools, the system is rotten.
The system has 16 members of the National College Athletic Assocation currently on probation. In alphabetical order, they are Arizona State, Arkansas State, California State Poly-Pomona, Colorado, Miami New Mexico, Oregon, South Florida, Southern Methodist, Texas Christian, University of California at Santa Barbara, UCLA, University of New Haven, West Texas State, Wichita State and Wisconsin. ACCORDING TO David Berst, the director of enforcement for the NCAA, about 25 other colleges are being investigated for possible violations. Among them are Clemson, which had the top-ranked college football team last season, and Southern California. Being on probation is almost fashionable.

probation is proof for the alumni and the boosters that a college is trying to win. And being on probation is even a source of laughs now. At the Super Bowl two weeks ago, Bobby Layne, the Hall of Fame quarterback who spent most of his career with the Detroit Lions and the Pittsburgh Steelers, was talking about how he had hoped a year ago to be named the Texas Tech coach. "Some people there asked me if I knew how to recruit since I'd never done it," he said with a smile, "but I know how you recruit with $100 bills. If they'd named me the coach, we'd win and then we'd be on probation, and then we'd win again and we'd be on probation again, and then we'd win again and we'd be on probation again." LAYNE WASNT trying to be defiant.
He was just trying to get some laughs. And he succeeded, because the essence of humor is truth. He could have been talking about Wichita State, which has had to be spanked six times by the NCAA at regular intervals over the last 27 years a public reprimand in, 1955, probation in 1958, a public reprimand in 1963, probation in 1968, 1974 and again last year. Southern Methodist is the only other citadel of higher learning to merit probation, on four occasions since the NCAA's enforcement division was organized in 1952. The irony of the' NCAA's vigilance is that it developed following the 1951 college basketball scandals.
At that time Madison Square Garden was scorned as a rats' nest of big-city gamblers. To create a college environment, arenas were built on campuses. And then the vicious circle began. To pay for the arenas, the colleges needed sellout crowds. To attract sellout crowds, they needed winning teams.
And to assure winning teams, many needed to cheat. In foot- ball, substitute stadiums for arenas. "Jn the 30 years since the enforcement division was begun," David Berst says, "about 250 schools have been on probation in one sport or another. Usually about 10 or 12 are on probation during any one year." DAVID BERST once was the baseball coach and an assistant basketball coach at MacMurray College in Jacksonville, 111., where he had played both sports. "I'd also like to see a school put on probation in all sports rather than just the one sport it had violations in," he says.
way, the ot her coaches at that school might act as a deterrent to the coach who wants to do the wrong thing. And if a school has to be disciplined for multiple violations, it would risk automatic termination of its NCAA membership. But you can't legislate honesty." Kven as the watchdog for the NCAA garbage dump, David Berst isn't disgusted. Not yet anyway. "I live on the seamy side of college athletics," he says, "but I'm also a product of college athletics.
I know what college athletics mean when they're run properly. I'm not going to condemn the whole system just for a few failures." But at too many schools, the system has a stench. 71-66-71-66-274 71-71-44-7027 71-71-71-4)7780 71-76-65-67 280 73-67-73-67-2M 73-69-69-69-2H0 69 70-71-70-280 70-71-73-67-281 70- 7I-71-69-2I1 67-69-77-68281 71 -70-70- 70-281 76-69-70-67-282 69-73-72-40-282 71- 70 72-69-282 73-67-74-69-283 69-73-69-72-283 69-73-69 72-283 75-66-72-71-284 71- 69-74-71-285 72- 70-71-72-285 71-61-71-75-265 No. 17 Fresno survives in OT Craig Sladler, 532,400 Johnny Miller, $13,530 Mike Morlev. $13,530 Ren Coldwell, $13,530 Joe Inmon, $13,530 Jock Nicklaus.

It was a modest beginning for an organization that nearly 2,500 members and maybe ranks second only to the New York Road Runners in terms of membership in the United States. Who'd ever believe that this club once struggled to claim even 100 members and thought 20 entrants in a race was a big deal? John Hudetz would believe it. He was one of those roast beef-Ice tea bralnstormers along with Brian Owen. Both now live in the Chicago area and belong to the Chicago Area Runners Association, which has 1,200 members. runners are advised to wear shoes with good traction as the path is quite icy In spots.

Watch the newsstands for the March Issues of Runner, Runner's World and Running Times. All magazines have short pieces on Clinton's running phenom, Phil Coppess.
Coppess, who won last Saturday's first annual Brrr-Scurry 10K In Clinton, will race In Chicago's "Loop the Loop 10K" Feb. 14 against such notables as BUI Rod-! gers, Frank Shorter and Stan Mavis of Kensyl Reading of Davennort hau hin nrrmii stopped and the police chief thought he shattered a few windows," Hudetz said. "Needless to say, that was the last time for the shot gun start." Lucian Rosa, then a reknowned world-class runner, took the men's crown. Kim Merritt, who won the 1978 Boston marathon and the 1975 New York Marathon, grabbed the women's honors. Hudetz, who has never actually run the Bix-7, was back last fall for Rock Island's Scrub Shirt Classic his first race since he left.
And he was pleasantly surprised to see a few familiar faces still deeply In love with running. A FEW of the original CBRC members include Tnil and Eloise Caldwell (the first female member), Daryl Smith of Erie, Karl Ungurean and Dr. Jack Barker, "I'm Just thrilled to know that I had a part in getting the ball rolling here. Once it got going, It Just snowballed," Hudetz said. Regardless of the weather, the Cornbelt Running Club will hold Its annual Polar Bear Run, beginning at 1 p.m.
on Valentine's Day, A one-mile youth run for those 14-and under will be held along with the five-mile race. There will be no entry fee for the youth run. One buck will get you In the five-miler. No pre registration will be held. The race will begin and end at the Rock Island Arsenal.
Part of the course will follow the bike path, so Back then, you were still a freak to be a runner," Hudetz recalled in a recent telephone interview. "Brian and though, had a vision of the running boom that was identity that would make runners from places like Genesee and Iowa City at home." Operations were set up slowly "working out of a cigar box." Between 20 and 30 races were pulled off that year, Including the Bix-7, the Clinton River Boat Days run and the Low Moor 10K Memorial Day run. That first Bix-7 saw maybe 60 or so entrants, in comparison to last summer's 2,500 participants, Including Bill Rod-gers and Frank Shorter. "When we had the first Bix, we actually thought it was a mob scene and couldn't believe so many people turned out," Hudetz chuckled. Hudetz designed the Bix course, which has stayed pretty much the same through the years, HUDETZ, a Boston marathoner, was aiming to plicate Boston's pageantry as much as possible at that first Bix.
He had helicopters circling overhead Just like at Boston and had Davenport's Chief of Police fire of a shot gun to start the runners. "The blast was so loud that about half the runners an entrant In the annual "Western 100 ultramarathnn to come, but I'm Just stunned to see where the Cornbelt Running Club has gone.
