Ben Lane, of the Institute of Human Nutrition at Columbia University, New York; based his assertion on the results of a recently completed 110-person study: of. the relationship between increasing myopia, dietary intake and calcium and chromium levels, as measured by hair analysis. :

“A large proportion of refined sugars in the diet is a signifiesnt risk factor in the development of myopic. disease,” Lane said.

The increase in intra-ocular pressure eases to some extent the work that the ciliary muscles of the eye have to do in order to maintain focus in close work, Lane said, but this adjustment process sets the stage for the development of myopia.

COACH FORREST GREGG:

Satisfaction is to win

DEARBORN, MICH. (AP) —Reaching the Super Bowl

” ig the goal of every National Football League coach. But

Forrest Gregg wants more.

‘The Cincinnati Bengals coach said Friday he won't be satisfied with anything less than a victory over San Francisco 49ers inthe Super Bowl today.

“when you get this far, your team deserves to be here because you worked hard to get here, you sacrificed a lot to get into this football game,” Gregg said. “If you lose the'football game, all the. plaudits go to the winner.

“Phat is the nature of the business. I'm sorry it’s that way, but it is that way. I'm not going to be able to say, ‘Well, even though we didn't win the football game, we can go away with a good feeling.’ We will not go away with a good feeling. if we lose the football game.”

Gregg said the American Conference champions will be in top. physical shape to play in the Pontiac, Micha., Silverdome. The Bengals’ only seriously injured player, kick returner David Verser, ‘has not had a problem catching the ball in practice his week, Gregg said. Verser

“We went into practice this week in the Silverdome and our wide receivers and tight ends took their gloves off and could. hardly catch the football,” Gregg said Friday. “The rest of them have adjusted to it, however.”

The Hall of Fame offensive lineman said coaching the Béngals this ‘week has given him the same feeling as playing in three Super Bowls with Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys.

“Tve been asked a lot of times this week: ‘How did it compare (coaching and playing in the Super Bowl?) I think it’s very comparable.

The point of interest will be Super Bowl, San Francisco 49ers vs. Cincinnati Bengals for the National Football ‘League championship. ,

“It's more than a football game,” said Ernest Jones, general of the Mi Super'Bow!

Bettors are millions on th test — in office pools and Nevada casinos alike. Ray Lenzie of the Stardust race ahd sports book in Las Vegas estimates ‘he'll handle some $2 million in bets,

e In Detroit, actress Cloris Leachman and the cast of Twigs will be excused from a scheduled Sunday matinee at the Fisher Theatre so theatre staff and Super Bowl visitors alike can concentrate, on the game and related hoopla. *

In Dallas, patrons of The Filling Station bar will jam

in’ front of an eight-by-eight foot TV screen.

“We just get crazy,” says Gene Harris, the bar's proprietor.

“If the Cowboys were playing, we'd be uncontrollable.”

Coaches say four’ TDs needed

PONTIAC, MICH. (AP) — On the eve of the Super Bowl, coaches Bill Walsh of San Francisco 49ers and Forrest Gregg of Cincinnati Bengals ian ome at least one thing on which they can agree,

Both figure it will take four touchdown to win the big game today.

“T don’t think 21 points will be enough to win,” Gregg said. “I think it will take 28 or more points.”

Walsh wasn't quarrelling with that assessment. He had predicted four TDs would be required to win the National Football Conference championship game against Dallas, and the final score was 28-27. He sees the same kind of wid-eopen contest for the Super Bowl.

“I expect ore or the other to score four touchdowns,” Walsh said. “It won't be a bitter defensive struggle with Ken Anderson and Joe Montana on the field.”

i's and San F 7 who led their conferences in passing during the reguler season, will oppose each other in the Pro Bow! next week.

GETS GOOD NEWS Walsh got some good news at the 49er workout Friday when wide reciever Freddie Solomon was able to practice. Solomon had left the field with a sprained left
