COLLEGE STADIUMS

(from page one)

• The first bowl-shaped stadium ever built was the Yale Bowl at Yale University in 1914.

Upon completion, it was the largest stadium in the world since construction of the Roman Coliseum in 80 AD. The massive stadium is one of four National Historic Landmarks on Yale’s campus.

• Another historic stadium dating back to 1913 is Bobby Dodd Stadium at Georgia Tech’s Grant Field. It is the oldest continuously-used on-campus college football site in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), formerly Division I-A). Football has been played at the downtown Atlanta site since 1905. The stadium was the site of the most lopsided game in football history. In 1916, Georgia Tech unmercifully defeated Cumberland College 222-0!

• Although not as old as Yale or Harvard, a west coast college football venue listed on the National Historic Landmark is the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. As the home field for the University of Southern California (USC), this is the only stadium in the world that has not only hosted the Olympics twice, but it has also hosted the Super Bowl and the World Series.

• Another California field, Stanford Stadium, made a lot of history in its 84-year life span.

The university stadium with the most consecutive sell-outs for home games is the University of Nebraska. While Memorial Stadium, where the Cornhuskers play, is not among the largest stadiums in college football, it is one of the most revered for its faithful following. They have filled the stadium to capacity 317 times since 1962.

• American football has a history dating back to the late 1800s, emerging from the European game of rugby. Yale University player and coach Walter Camp, called the “Father of American Football,” is recognized for instituting the early rules of the game.

• “The Birthplace of Intercollegiate Football,” Rutgers University in New Jersey, held the first inter-collegiate football game in 1869, in which Rutgers defeated Princeton by two goals. Those players didn’t play in a stadium, but on a field on College Avenue in New Brunswick with a small group of curiosity seekers gathered to see what the game was about. Today, Rutgers has an impressive stadium that seats 52,454 fans.

• Many stadiums are now named after large corporate sponsors who pay exorbitant prices for the right to advertise themselves and promote their company brand. One of those is the Carrier Dome at Syracuse University.

Built in 1980, it is the only domed stadium in the Northeast. Oddly enough, though named for the Carrier air conditioning company, the domed stadium itself is not air conditioned!

• The air is thinner and contains less oxygen in higher elevations making breathing more difficult in high energy contests like football.

War Memorial Stadium at the University of Wyoming has the highest elevation of any Division I university at 7,770 feet, followed by Western State College in Gunnison, Colorado at 7,750 feet. Falcon Stadium, the home field for

● It was Canadian American educator Laurence J. Peter who made the following sage observation: “You can always tell a real friend: When you’ve made a fool of yourself, he doesn’t feel you’ve done a permanent job.” ● In Murfreesboro, Tenn., it is illegal to keep indoor furniture outdoors. ● Mike Edwards, one of the founding members of the British band Electric Light Orchestra, met with an untimely death decades after he left the group. In 2010, as Edwards was driving in the rural southwest of England, a farmer lost control of a 1,300-pound bale of hay. This wheelshaped bale rolled down a hill and over a hedge, and just happened to smash into the van that Edwards was driving. ● The humble honeybee is the official insect of 17 states. ● Those who study such things say that there is a 1 million to 1 chance that, within the next century, an asteroid will crash into the Earth and destroy most life on the planet. ● In 2008 a company called Defense Devices, based in Jackson, Tenn., introduced a new item: a stun gun disguised as a tube of lipstick. The same company offers a ring that will shoot pepper spray. ● You might be surprised to learn that the giant bullfrogs of South Africa have sometimes been known to attack lions.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF

FOOTBALL HELMETS

a “head harness,” these helmets were fitted specifically for an individual player, with three thick leather straps as the protective covering.

• By 1915 big changes were happening with helmets. They were becoming more spherical and included padding, straps and earpieces to better protect the head.

• In 1917, Bob Zuppke, football coach at the University of Illinois, contributed to football helmet design by adding space between the inside of the leather helmet and the player’s head. He also added more leather that helped absorb the impact of hard blows.

Not many folks today can remember it, but there was a time when football players didn’t wear helmets, subjecting their heads to serious punishment every time they were hit. From the leather head harnesses of the late 19th century to today’s modern football helmets, safety has been the key to the design and improvements that have progressed over the years.

• The earliest football helmets had almost no padding and consisted of nothing more than a leather skull cap made of leather straps with some padding in between. A few years later, leather ear flaps were added after players had gotten their ears nearly torn off. They were also made of leather and did little to soften blows to the head.

• An Annapolis shoemaker is credited with the creation of one of the first helmets, custom made for Admiral Joseph Mason Reeves.

Admiral Reeves had been advised by a Navy doctor that it would be “instant insanity” and he would be risking death if he endured another hard kick to his head.

• Vern McMillan followed Zuppke by updating helmets with a rubber-covered wire face mask which helped to reduce the number of broken teeth and noses. Face masks are continually updated to provide protection for the players.

One design that used Lucite didn’t work out very well, as they became brittle and would usually shatter when players were hit!

• One significant contribution to the popularity of football helmets didn’t have anything to do with safety. Fred Gehrke, a player for the Los Angeles Rams, started something when he painted the first logo on a helmet in 1947.

Gehrke was an art major and after getting approval from his coach, Bob Snyder, and then team owner, Dan Reeves, he got the “goahead” to spend his summer painting.

up the helmets after each game.

• The Riddell sporting good company started baking Gehrke’s design into plastic helmets in 1949 and then shortly thereafter more teams wanted logos on their helmets.

• Reeves wore that helmet in 1893 in an Army versus Navy football game. Helmets did not actually become mandatory gear until 1939 for college games and in 1943 for the National Football League (NFL).

• The man who receives the most credit for the invention of the football helmet is George Barclay, a halfback for Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania during the 1890s.

Barclay was very fearful about developing “cauliflower ears.” Also known as boxer’s ear or wrestler’s ear, cauliflower ear is an acquired deformity of the outer ear caused by blunt force trauma. The blood supply to the outer ear is interrupted causing the skin to shrivel into folds, creating a cauliflower-like appearance.

Nicknamed “The Rose” for his preoccupation with his handsome looks, Barclay didn’t want to chance disfiguring his pretty features.

Hands-down, my favorite new show is “The Mindy Project,” which airs Tuesday nights at 9:30/8:30c. It’s funny, sweet, quirky and a little bit edgy, like the show’s namesake.

“I think when you are able to do something that you’re getting paid for, it only becomes a job when it’s work, when you’re working on someone else’s terms, and you don’t enjoy it as much as you should. And you become exhausted, which sort of happened to me,” Ant said. “But now I find I really appreciate the fact that there’s the opportunity to do it under my own terms. I do what is right for me and my work. I don’t even think about it; I just get out there and do it.”

Q:

couldn’t be happier in this latest gig. He told me recently what he likes so much about the show: “We’re this crazy, totally disparate group of people in this small Southern town -- kind of a magical town -- and despite all our differences and conflicts and strong feelings, we all somehow manage to get along.

“Our characters have tremendous flaws and failings. Nobody’s perfect. But we somehow manage to get through our day -- and life -- without crashing and burning. That’s what we all kind of hope for, and I think there’s a little bit of those flaws and failings in everyone. And the show takes you someplace that you don’t expect and in ways that you don’t expect.

It’s tremendous fun, and it’s very sincere.” ***

Boys Being Boys

Dogs bite boys twice as often as they do girls.

Why?

Boys play rough.

It’s true. Boys pour salt on slugs, throw rocks at cars, light things on fire and shoot each other with BB guns.

Girls? Yeah, they can be mean, sassy and loud, but they aren’t typically roughhousers, and statistically that pays off. Check out the stats at cdc.gov.

Last week I got a call from a distraught mom.

Her 3-year-old boy kicked the dog, and the dog bit him on the head.

From a humanistic point of view, that dog shouldn’t live with children. He bites. End of discussion ... from that standpoint.

An important question remains, though: Why did the kid kick the dog in the first place?

All children, and especially boys, have to be taught how to handle and care for a dog if they’re going to live in the same house with one -- for the dog’s sake and their own.

A mother of 9-year-old and 12-year-old boys e-mailed me a few months ago regarding the family dog, who had been aggressive toward strangers and other dogs but not her kids. In fact, her kids “can pull his ears and tail, take his food, sit on him, etc. with no problems.” She later signed off with, “We love this dog, but know we can’t risk the safety of others.”

Boy, oh, boy... That’s some kind of love.

This week I got an e-mail from another mom, proud of the fact that her dog doesn’t bite. “Charlie is never aggressive, even when my 30-month-old son hits him in the head with the remote control or a plastic golf club.” Not aggressive? Not yet.

Little boys playing rough is part of boys being boys. But when little boys play rough with dogs, there’s a good chance someone’s going to get hurt.

The behaviors these women describe go beyond playing rough. It’s animal abuse. And it’s only a matter of time before the family dog -- “that’s only been aggressive toward strangers” or “has never been aggressive at all” -- turns on his own family.

It’s the parent’s job to keep their kids safe.

It’s the parent’s responsibility to know better, to teach the child, to train the dog.

Boys will be boys. They’re curious. They play rough. They wrestle; they tackle; they throw punches. And sometimes, if they never learn better, CASEY’S CORNER: Turn to page 10

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY

by Tom Margenau

Widow’s Benefits Go to Financially Dependent Women Q.

I am a 71-year-old widow. My husband recently died, and I was absolutely shocked to learn that I will not qualify for any of his Social Security. The Social Security office told me that my own benefit was so much higher than his that I will just get my own retirement payments and nothing else. I happened to have had a better-paying job than my husband did, so that’s why I qualify for a higher payment than he would have received. My husband died at the age of 61. He paid Social Security taxes for almost 40 years. It is so maddening to know that not only did he never get a chance to get any Social Security but also I won’t get any widow’s benefits either. What happens to all the money he put into the system? And who is responsible for the dumb law that prevents me from getting what is rightfully mine?

A.

I’m sorry for your loss. And I can sympathize with your frustrations about not qualifying for widow’s benefits. I’m going to explain to you why the law is the way it is. But I have a hunch no matter what I say, you won’t be satisfied.

You have to understand that Social Security was never set up to work like a regular life insurance program. People can buy life insurance if they want.

And of course, many people do. I certainly hope you and your husband did.

Social Security was enacted in 1935 primarily as a retirement program. And as I think most people understand, it was meant to be merely one part of a retiree’s nest egg. You may have heard of the “three legged stool” analogy with respect to what a worker should plan to count on in retirement. One leg is any pension or 401(k) income. The second leg is savings or investments. And the third leg is Social Security.

Anyway, that was Social Security’s original intent in 1935. But even before the first regular monthly checks were sent out in 1940, Congress realized that provisions needed to be made for a taxpayer’s dependents. So they amended the original Social Security law to add benefits for dependent spouses and widows -- and minor children.

That word “dependent” is key. The law said a spouse would get benefits on her husband’s Social Security record if she was financially dependent on her husband. (By the way, I’m not trying to be sexist by referring only to women getting spousal benefits.

I’m just being realistic. Even today, about 90 percent of all spousal benefits go to women.)

Back in the 1930s when these laws were passed, most men worked and most women stayed home. So when the husband retired, he got Social Security retirement benefits, and his wife got a spousal benefit -- up to one half of his rate. And when he died, the woman started getting widow’s benefits -up to 100 percent of his rate.

ANSWER: Pinworms are an extremely common infection, especially in children. During the night, the female pinworm crawls out of the rectum to lay eggs on the nearby skin. She is tiny, 0.4 inches (1 cm) long. You must have good eyes to see these worms. A magnifying glass is a big help. Pinworms rarely make their way to other organs. Some speculate that they might be a cause of appendicitis.

Eggs on the skin cause intense itching. Your doctor is best equipped to make the diagnosis. Doctors have the instruments to clearly see the worm or its eggs. Mebendazole (Vermox), albendazole (Albenza) and pyrantel pamoate (Pin-X) have a good track record of getting rid of pinworms. They are not found in fish.

It is shaped like a treasure chest and has the images of Mickey and Minnie on the lid. The words “Be Thrifty - Save Coins - Mickey and Minnie At 1933-1934 World’s Fair” are also on the lid. It is in perfect condition. What can you tell me about it?

A:

Your bank was made to commemorate the 1933-1934 Chicago World’s Fair. It is a “treasure.”

As a collectible, it would appeal to collectors of both Disney items and World’s Fair memorabilia.

the Falcons roster looked like a list of rejects and also-rans. The backup quarterback was 44-yearold Steve Deberg, a guy who had been out of the league for five years.

Each week the “Falconies” (as the newsroom called them, for whatever reason) kept improving, and my photography got better, too. I seemed to have a knack for snagging really emotional candid shots from behind the bench.

And then one week, there was Manning, on his way to a 3-13 season, getting hounded by the Falcons en route to a 28-21 loss, on the phone with the folks upstairs, looking distressed until SNAP! Full on Minolta with red-eye reduction flash in your face! He squinted, put the phone to the side and looked up at me -? one rookie to another -- and uttered these five words of advice I’ll never forget:

“Dude ... you can’t do that.”

I recognized that same look on his face during this season’s game. The Falcons are looking like a Super Bowl team again, and Manning is on the phone looking distressed again. Three interceptions on your first three drives, Peyton?

Dude ... you can’t do that.

• When the Tennessee Volunteers and their 100,000 or so fans sing “Rocky Top” in Neyland Stadium, it is a chorus that you will hear in your sleep for a few nights afterward!

• “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” a song recorded by John Denver in 1971 has been the theme song for West Virginia University since 1972. Denver sang the song at the opening of the “new” Mountaineer Field in 1980. The words and music were written by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert and Denver, and at the time none of the trio had actually been to the state.

• A stadium that has received more attention in recent years for its high level college playing is known for having the only blue turf in football.

Boise State’s Bronco Field’s turf is also called the “smurf turf” for the cartoon Smurfs.

• Aloha Stadium, the home stadium for the University of Hawaii, is owned by the state of Hawaii and hosts many events other than football. The Aloha Stadium Swapmeet & Marketplace, held every week on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays should be on every visitor’s itinerary.

• Many people refer to the “big house” as prison or jail. In football, however, “The Big House” is the largest stadium in the country, home of University of Michigan football, with a seating capacity of 109,901. One of the interesting stories about this stadium is that while it was under construction in 1926 and crews were digging out the deep foundation, they came upon an underground spring. The soil was so saturated with moisture it was like quicksand, and swallowed an entire 17-ton crane! The crane is still there -- under the stadium! ■

Improve your consistency through your target line

Many golfers struggle with consistency, not only from day to day but from shot to shot. My Empowered Golf strategy for improving consistency rests on one crucial fact: Everything that you do in golf Improve Your Consistency Through Your Target Line relates to the “Target Line”.

Many golfers’ struggle with consistency, not only from in day golf to Every shot day but from shot to shot. My Empowered Golf strategy for relates directly to this improving your consistency rest in one statement; “everything imaginary path, which that you do in golf evolves in reference to your path to the target called ‘the target line’”. The “target line” from is an imaginary path extends your distant that extends from your target in the distance back through your target your ball. Many times golfers produce poorback resultsthrough because they failed to take the time to establish this path to the golfers target. ball.

Many proYou can establish your target line the way many tour players duce poor results simply do; go behind your ball and literally point the golf club through the ball towards the target in because the distance. they Now that failyoutohave first established this line, your next goal is to setup to the ball along establish their direct path this same path, as seen in the photo with the two red lines that tointhe target. represent the path to the target the distance.

STAN SMITH’S TENNIS CLASS

PHOBIAS (continued): • Some phobias relate to what’s up above, such as the sun (heliophobia), the clouds (nephophobia), the moon (selenophobia), and the stars (siderophobia). Some folks are just afraid of looking up – they are called anablephobes.

• Not all phobias seem that abnormal or uncommon. Lots of people might have a fear of death, known as necrophobia. But those with an extreme form might be terrified of being buried alive. A nosocomephobe has a fear of hospitals, a verminophobe is afraid of germs, and a hydrophobe has an irrational fear of water.

• Individuals suffering from extreme agoraphobia rarely leave their homes, due to their fear of public or open spaces and the inescapable situations that may occur there. Only home is safe.

• Some phobias can be a learned behavior that comes from listening to others describe a traumatic event. An individual in one’s life can trigger a phobia, such as peladophobia, the fear of bald people. Those with nosto-phobia, a fear of returning home, may be able to contribute their panic to a specific incident.

• People who are afraid of looking into mirrors have cataptrophobia, while those with cyberphobia have a fear of working with computers. A person with an anxiety about memories is a mnemophobe.

• Don’t confuse levophobia, the fear of objects to a person’s left, with dextrophobia, the fear of objects to the right.

• Although some of us fear the possibility of cancer, an extreme carcinophobe will convince himself he has cancer because he touched someone who has it.
