Meet the backbone by Beth Brandenburg Being a manager is a great out- let, not only for staying involved in scholastic activities. but also for fill- ing an appreciated position for the coach.

Managers are constantly striving to provide their immediate service. i recall one instance when senior wrestler Jerry Manhart was in such a position with his Rossville opponent that his knee was severely twisted. An ice bag was needed Immedi- ately. In less than an instant, I had the Crarnr instant Cola' ice pack out and was furiously beating the bag, attempting to break its cry- stals inside. I-leroically exerting more than enough energy. I succeeded in breaking Cl hole in the end of the bag. allowing the gell inside to ooze out. Retrieving paper towels from the freshly-stocked medicine kit, l soon cured the minor calamity, At an Oskaloosa wrestiing meet the managers found themselves completely set up to video tape the matches - but lacking the cassette tape. The principal of that school cheerfully lent us one of theirs. Occasionally. managers will be expected to comprehend brain- waves without any external com- munication fassumed ESPQ, as when the coach instructs his manager to getthea ...the ...youknow the whatchamacallit that do- hickey! Satisfaction from helping the coach is the biggest part of being the manager. Part of this is the real- ization that they occasionally D0 NEED us.
