The Physical Department of the University of South Car olina will offer a most extensive program of physical activities to the student body this year. The return of many of the men who made the work of this department such a success in 16-17 together with the incom ing of so many high school athletes gives as?urance of the largest enrollment in the de partment in recent years. The program includes in ad aition to the regular gymnas ium work special classes in box ing, wrestling, tumbling and such outdoor games as tennis, play ground baseball. In ad dition to these forms of recre. ation credit will be given for work done on the regular var sity teams put out by Coach Foster and his staff of assis tant coaches. The program for the young ladies is going to be just as interesting as that for the men. Miss Dorothy Vaughan will as sist the physical director with the young ladies classes and it is hoped that the enrollment in this special class will be larger than last year. The hours for the young ladies' class will be Tuesday and Thursday from four to five thirty. The hour for the third period has not yet been selected. The men's classes will meet on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 4 p. in., and the work will be so arranged that every one in the class will have a hard work out at a number of differ ent kinds of exercise during the hour or more that the class continues. Because of war con ditions last year the medals for wrestling and boxing were not offered but this year handsome gold medals will be offered in the department to the best all round gymnast, the best wrest ler, the best boxer, and the best gymnast 'in the young ladies' class. There may be silver and gold medals offered for the 2nd and 3rd places in each of these contests. The class in basketball teams will be organied as soon as practible and a sliver loving cup will be offered to the win ning team in a ser'ies of basket ball games that will be played before Xmas if possible. The playing of these games before the regular season opens will enable every basketball player in the university to play and it is hoped will discover some good varsity material from among the new students. A call will soon be made for those interested in the cross country run that is held annu ally at Clinton on Thanksgiv ing day. It is hoped that quite a number will be interested in this form of athletics. The President of the Univer sity has assured the physical director of his desire to provide ample tennis courts for those who are* interested in that splendid game and a tourna ment is planned for the spring months that will be open to the members of the student body. A large numbe: ^f the re turned soldiers are keenly in terested in boxing and a class will begin work with the gloves on Wednesday afternoon and the physical director hopes to secure the assistance of some of the best mature boxers in and around Columbia in de veloping the men that will come out for this work. Wrestling will be one of the most popular sports in the gmy nasium this year, many of the men who were interested in former years are back and oth ers who have seen or taken part in wrestling matches both in the army and navy are keen to get at the sport again. In this class the physical director hopes to secure the assistance of Mr. Drew Spigner who is easily the best amature wrestl er in this part of the State. In the apparatus work on the gym floor Gallety, Jenkins and other star gymnasts will be on hand to assist Mr. Van Meter and it is hoped that a gym team will be secured that will be good enough to go out over the State and give exhibitions at the larger high and prep schools, under the direction of the extension department of the University.
