He is a graduate of the Niels Bukh Gymnaslikhojskolen, which being translated means Gymnasium School. Niels Bukh, of Denmark, is the origi nator of the system of teaching gymnas tics which the gentieman with the long name is introducing to the gym classes at the University this year. Mr. Bukh toured the United States a few years ago, giving demonstrations of his sys tem, which has been adopted by some of the largest colleges and universities in this country. So far as is known, the University is the only school in the South which has an instructor of this system, a former pupil and graduate of the man who originated it. Mr. Sveinbjornssen was born in Ice there until he was twenty years old. He then went to Denmark and matricu lated at the high school mentioned above. He completed the course in two years and moved to Nebraska, where he taught physical education in a high school in that state. He also taught the same subject in the Agriculture College of North Dakota before com'ng to Carolina to take charge of the general gymnasium work and of the Gym Team. Mr. Sveinbjornssen's general gym classes meet on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 3:20, 4:20 and 5:20 p.m. Ont Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 6:45 and 7 :45 a.m. He also holds a night class from 8 until 9:30 o'clock on Tuesday and Thursday. The general gym class is the largest in the history of the school according to Mr. J. 0. Van Meter, Director of Physi cal Education, who states that all of the gym classes seem to take a keen interest in the work being done this year. Mr. Van Meter is also very e:thusiastic over the new system of gymnastics being in troduced this year. Among the work going on at the gym nasium is the teaching of the boxing team. Mr. Jack Alhiston is instructor in the manly art of self-defense and he has the largest class that has ever de sired to learn the fundamentals of box ing. This class meets from 5 :20 p.m. to 6:20 p.m. every day with the exception of Saturday. Mr. R. Lee (Cowboy) Clark, Jr., of Texas is the wrestling 'nstructor this year and he has a number of interested students. At present this class only meets three times a week. From 5:00 until 6:00 p.m. every Monday, Wednies (lay and Friday. Plans are being made to hold this class on Tuesday,Thursday and Saturday at the same hour.

His nickname "Racehorse" will easily stand another year. Wimberly runs fast and hard. He never fails to gain. Captain Boyd electrified the fans with his div'ng tackles. Time and again Bill would leap ovet the heads of the opposing linesmen and nail the runner before he reached the line of scrimmage. Red Swink did his stuff in fine style. Bill Cooper playing his first varsity game, made several nice gains, Keels at end, almost. cinched a place for himself at that position. Before the half ended Coach Bocock sent in the entire second team. Erskine was unable to make any headway against them. Wingfield brought the stands to their feet time after t:me, by squirming and dodging through * on punt returns. This boy is game to the core. Re Fulmer filled the captains shoes well. Power Rogers got in for a few minutes and made three or four long runs. He vied with Bob Wimber ly in this respect. The first half ended with Carol'na's ball on the one yard line.
