The finals, held on a water logged track at Chapel Hill, gave the Terps their second straight vic Otory. North Carolina was runner up in the annual meet, while Duke was third and the Gamecocks were fourth. The muddy track prevented any new records but good times were turned in by Dave Sime of Duke and Burr Grim of Maryland. In the trials on Friday Don Goodroe and Zeke Bartulski of South Caro lina set new records in the high hurdles and javelin, respectively. Dave Scurlock, Tar Heel sopho more, was awarded the Robert A.

Prospe entire track squad appear bright Publicity photo) Prognosti Track Out By Parker Evatt The 1957 track season is over for the Gamecocks and it proved not to be as successful as ones in the past. Some would think that the coach should be worried, but not Weems Baskin. Coach Baskin was well satisfied with this year's team and says that everyone will be proud of the 1958 team. A few interesting facts about the promising 1958 team show the reason for Baskin's confidence. This year's team had several fine performers, but little depth in any of the positions. Next year thesei same fine performers will return with many new varsity faces.

By Roy Williams Managing Editor From statistics compiled during the past three years in nine gym classes of Physical Training I picked at random, figures showed that 148 Carolina students out of 206 tested were not physically fit. An average minimum score on the Rogers test, a physical fitness index score derived from conpar ing an achieved strength index with a norm based upon the in dividual's sex, weight, and age, is set at 100. Average grade of Carolina students taking the tests in PT I was 89.8. On a wider range a report re leased by Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Selective Service director, stated that during the Korean War, 47 per cent of draftees were rejected on physical and mental grounds. Forty per cent of Army person nel during World War II had never played any games or sports before entering the service, the report further stated. As Dr. E. C. Davis, dean of men and athletics director at the Uni versity of Louisville said, "Thou sands of war casualties resulted from lack of skill in jumping, fall ing, lifting, carrying, and dodging . . fundamentals which are as much a part of athletics as the rules of any sports event." Dr. Davis also pointed out that servicemen were especially weak in hand.. arms, shoulders, and ab douminal muscles as well as in heart-lung endurance. N, is the American populace any murie physically fit than its aiult nale segment. The report of Di. lan, hraus, As-o(iate 1ofe"s~r of Physical \ledicine and Rehabilitation. New or. l:niversity and Bonnie Prud den, Director, Institute For Phys ical Fitnue.s, White Plain.,, N. Y., published in the New York State .Journal of Medicine, set forth dis quieting statistics on the physical fitness of American youth. In brief, those studies, on the basi. of the three countries Italy, Au-tria, Switzerland) selected for observation, revealed that Euro pean children have a muscular strength and flexibility up to seven times better than school chil iren n Iht- U. S. In the administration of the Kraus-Weher tests for Minimum Muscular Fitn -s 57.9 per cent of the A merica n children examined failedi one or moire of the physical fitnie-s testa I fivt for muscular stmrgtrh, one for flexibuilityv as against a failure rate of only 8.7' jilr ceni;tfor Europilean children.

They do not have the capacity to live a normal life. ''hese children fall short, as physical fitness experts tell us, in one of the most vital ingredients of successful Iiving-their capacity to handle themselves in physical and eiotional emergencies. The aim of concerned persons such as one-time Olympic sculling champion JohnI B. Kelly (better known as the father of the former Grace Kelly) is not to build nuscular tursos on our youth. What 'hey are striving for is that the A merican public develop the minilurnu physical fitness needed for healthy living. A1 one member of Carolina's physical education department similarly said, "We are not trying to make musclenen out of stu dents. What we want to do is help them develop their bodies for bet ter, normal living." Not (nly is the body strength ened through muscular activities but the vital processes are speeded up. ('irculation and respiration al e improved, digestion is better, and eliminationr more efficient. As well as can be determined, the PT I course, offered at Caro iuna. - the only one of its special type (to develop the body) in the state. F reShmc"n students are re qtiwiet to take one semester of the cour-e; RuTC students and vet eran are exempt.
