SPORTS.

By Eddie Ash

PURDUE UNIVERSITY'S physical education plant, ding both indoor and outdoor facilities, is in full use hours a week these days in connection with the com-

prehensive course in “physical preparedness.” The course was added to Purdue's curriculum over a year ago a part of the university’s attempt to prepare the male student physically as well as mentally for the war effort. From a comparatively small, but nevertheless significant beginning in the spring of 1941 when the physical fitness training was first offered on a more or less experimental elective basis with enrollment, of 223 students, the pioneering physical preparedness ‘eourse, which has since served as the model for similar efforts in a host of other institutions, has grown by leaps into a full-fledged compulsory credit course for all men students above the freshman

”

: out of the male enrollment for the Present summer term of Purdue's streamlined war-time academic calendar, 2067 students are now going through their paces three hours weekly under the com- " petent supervision of 14 staff members and approximately 100 stu- _ dent volunteer assistants. Starting at 7 o'clock every morning, the . physical fitness classes proceed almost without a break until noon

"on Saturday, and it has been necessary to schedule classes three

nights s wedk from 7:15 %o 3°15 o¥bek in ores to wade he large enrollment.

Obstacle Competition Highlights Training

THERE IS NO monotony in the instruction offered, which has resulted in a substantial improvement in physical well being { the average student. . . . In general, the first two weeks and the "last two weeks of each term are devoted to pre-tests and post-tests on. such measurable events as pull-ups, push-ups, jump and reach, ‘and the one mile walk. The intervening weeks are divided. into three main divisions— ‘swimming, recreational, and conditioning—each of four weeks dura‘tion. : : Training on Purdue's new 530-yard obstacle course, stamped by qualified experts as being equally as demanding as any in use by the armed services, provides one of the main highlights of the conditioning activities. Fifteen different types of obstacles must be overcome by the students in making the rounds of the course which covers a hilly, wooded area alongside the Ross-Ade stadium. # " » # #" » . THE OBSTACLES include hurdles, jumps, wall-scaling, rope swinging across a gully, hand-over-hand progress on overhead parale Jels, running through a rope maze, ascending and descending ladders, tunnels, and wire obstructions that force the student to proceed on all fours. . . . The conditioning activities also include competitive team games.

Swimming Program Goes Full Blast

IN SWIMMING, 50 volunteer student instructors, including many members of the varsity squad, are assisting staff members. « +» » The program is so arranged that it includes everything from teaching fundamentals to beginners to advanced life saving for students who have progressed far enough in their training. The spacious Purdue fieldhouse has been utilized to full advane in providing indoor facilities for the recreational activities. + « . Nine badminton courts and eight paddle tennis courts have been laid out on the fieldhouse floor, and it is not at all unusual to find 70 students at play in the area at one time.

» ” » » » # STATISTICS COMPILED by Prof. F. R. Eastwood, of Purdue’s division of physical education for men, at the conclusion of the first course over a year ago which indicated that a distinct improvement in physical well being could be obtained, have been more than borne out by the results of the work in subsequent terms. In the originai course, the average percentage of improvement of the students in measurable events was 16.9 per cent. , . , The cumulative effects of continued training have been more than evi- _ dent since that time.

The Throes of Batting Slump

Lose 3d Straight to Toledo, 2 to 1

Times Special \ TOLEDO, July 10.—Is there a

would like to practice his trick stuff on the Indianapolis Indians? Skipper Gabby Rartnett is on the lookout for one to come to the aid of his faltering Redskins whe are in the throes of a team-wide batting slump. The Toledo Mud Hens beat them again at Swayne fleld last night, 2 to 1, and swept the three-game series. John (Moose) Marcum, vet-

sters to four . hits, one than Southpaw Ewald Pyle allowed them on Wednesday. The loss of the three games here stretched the ‘Indians’ losing streak to four in a row as they lost one {at home Monday to Louisville be- | fore departing on this trip around the American association's eastern sector.

Play in Columbus Tonight

the Red Birds in Columbus in a single game tonight, & single to‘morrow night and two games Sunday afternoon. The Red Birds are holding down second place in the league race and unless the Tribe~ sters start hitting the ball they are sure to run into a mess of trouble in the Ohio capital city. ' Last night the Indians failed to get one safe off Toledo's Johnny Marcum until after two down in -|the sixth. He erased the Hoosiers in 1-2-3 order in the first, sécond, third and fifth innings. Only Indian on base in the first five innings was Rabbit McDowell, who got a life on an infield error in the fourth.

Wayne Blackburn broke the spell by lining a single to right and Mc-

error. Joe Moore then rammed a single to right and Blackburn scored. The “rally” ended when Johnny McCarthy flew out to center.

Good Pitching Wasted | Woodie Rich (pitched for the Red-

although touched for eight blows. The Mud Hens scored in the third and fifth and that fifth-inning marker beat the Tribe. Five hits Wednesday, four hits last night. That's a total of nine in 18 innings by the Tribesters. Maybe theyll shake out of the slump in Columbus. At any rate, the Indians have been running “hot and cold” all season and once again’ they are due to get hot. Indians and Red Birds have met six times this season and so far it’s an even break—three victories apiece.
