Essentially, a great number of runners run out of fear, and some might be too scared to admit when they are injured. Another factor could be that a great number of people reach the point where they don't want to put up with rules and regulations any- more; once they find themselves injured, they enjoy the freedom and have no real desire to go back to the regimentation. It was brought up by this ex-runner that with Coach Slovenski, if you are not doing well then he doesn't go out of his way to give you a break, whereas he treats those that are doing well with respect. He con- cluded with this statement:"... you might hate him, you might love him, but you always respect him, and you'll never forget him." How much do captains help a team? Well just look at Bates' var- sity basketball teams. The women's team has three captains. Pat James has been out for a fair portion of the season with a broken toe; Sue Doliner was out when her foot was operated on, and is slowly working herself back into the program.
