Likewise, the 100 sophomore boys tested achieved the highest testing on all levels: Highest, high aver age, average, low average and low. The 100 sophomore girls, low in scores in the first of two test ings improved remarkably test scores showed, to a point second highest. High scorers were Donna Marie Graves and Clarence Selanshanko. Their achievements bested stu dents at Baker, Coos Bay-Marsh-field, Eugene, Klamath Falls, Med ford, Pendleton, Roosevelt (Port land), North Salem, Springfield, Willamette and Roseburg. PFI Competition The Physical Fitness Index bat tery consists of four muscular strength tests (right grip, left grip, back lift, leg lift), two mus cular endurance tests (chins, dips) and vital capacity (lung strength). The score is derived from dividing, the gross score on the several test items by a norm for the indivi dual's weight and age. Median (average) score is 100. Scores can range from 40 to 160 or more. Young Selanshanko scor ed a mighty 170. Miss Graves post ed 226.

The sive showing of the sophomores , central physical fitness committee comes because of the well-rounded -u physical education program in the Roseburg puoiic schools from grades one through 12. Objective of the pilot program, first in the nation, was to find the subpar physical fitness index of individuals so more work can be given to them in PE programs. "This is not athletics!" Sher wood specified, "But the regular physical education program sched uled yearly in the schools in the 12 grades in regular class times for all students." Athletics, he says are for the gifted few and taken after school. Program Initiated The OAHPER moved quickly to help start a program to counter balance findings by Dr. Hans Kraus, MD, of the New York Uni versity - Bellevue Rehabilitation Center last year. Dr. Kraus' study reports appeared in medical jour nals, PE publications and news paper stories. They showed that 58 per cent of U.S. youngsters tested for physical fitness failed one or more of his tests while only 9 per cent of European chil dren failed.

SATURDAY, the Glide baseball team will make its second appear ance in as many years for the championship of the class B prep toga. ' Echo defeated the Wildcat dia mond crew 3-1 last year on a sin gle hit, but a cobmination of nine walks and a hit batter led to their downfall. Eugene Polley and Dick Smith combined .pitching talents in last years finale tor a l-niuer. Coach jacK rorsyuie una uuui inated his hard-throwing right hander, Dick Smith, to start on the mound. Smith has been de feated once, that in his freshman year, while toeing the rubber fori the Glide team. Dick Smith, Danny Kinnie .and Eugene Polley are the big stickers for the high flying nine, each clubbing well above the .300 mark. THE ROSEBURG ROAD Run ners, a local motorcycle club, have a brand spanking new race track, thanks to the generosity of Darrel Wade, owner .and operator ot ine Roseburg Speedway.

A different picture appeared in the second test: High score high with 170 (Selanshanko); upper third - high with 130; averager high with 120; low third - high with 107; low - high tie - 77. The findings for OAHPER were compiled by H. Harrison Clarke, research professor at the Univer sity of Oregon. The report commented on the "remarkable pi. "ormance for school E" (Roseburg, noting only 10 per cent of the 100 boys tested were below 100). The findings showed Roseburg youth had made a gain of up to 18 points for the boys between the two tests. f)tirin0 tho Fph Q toct ennhnrrtAi-A girls ranked as follows: Highl score second nign witn 184 (Miss Graves); upper third - tie for low with 105; average - low with 86; low third low with 66; low score - third from low with 36. Sophomore girls at RHS had tied for the low in the state during the first test. Sherwood says the pri mary reason for the poor' scoring came because they'd been study ing health and spent little prepara tion time on the test. He com- mended them for a "terrific gain." i Carve Special Niche May 11 the 100 carved I special niche for themselves. They did the impossible and marched happily to second place among the schools.
