Maryland's
Title; Game
The Maryland Terrapins re
tained their ACC track champion
ship last Saturday as they fought
off the determined efforts of the
seven other conference schools for
the championship.
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.

Carolina's Biddies lost a 6-2
game to the Cubs of Clemson last
week as Bailey Hendley, former
Greenville High star, limited the
USC frosh to five hits.
Hendley had a no-hitter until
the sixth when third baseman Jim
Kelly singled. The Biddies scored
two runs in the ninth to ruin the
Cub pitcher's bid for a shutout.
The win was the Clemson frosh's
13th of the year.

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.

Carolina
Physical!
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

The report of Di. lan, hraus,

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

the minimum physical fitness de
manded by normal living. 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. Although the
cour e is valuable, many students
shouhi be taking more than one
,elmester of it.
