SVEINBJORNSSEN
WILL INSTRUCT
CLASS IN "GYM"
ORIGINALLY OF ICELAND
Graduate of Niels Bukh Gyzmna
sium to Idttroduce New Sys
tem at Carolina
Harold Svinbjornssen, originally of
Iceland but more recently of Denmark
is the new gym instructor at the Univer
sity. 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.
Ten men, members of last year's Gym
Team have returned to the University
this session. There are about six new
men out for positio~ns on the Team. With
this material the Gym Team is expected
to be up to its usual high standard. This
wyork will be under the personal super
vision of Mr. Sveinbjornssen.

"RED" SWINK
CAROLINA WINS GAME
BY LARGE SCORE-41-0
(Continued from page 6)
From a purely offensive viewpoint,
Wimberly was the biggest star of the
day. 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.
