ATHLETES’ VIGOR IS DETERMINED Trained Men Can Work More Easily Than Untrained YALE SPONSORS TESTS Each Rower Uses One-half Horse Power in Race (By Science Service) New Haven, Conn., Jan. 17.— “Strong as a horse,” spoken admir ingly of a mighty athlete, is not so great an exaggeration as it sounds. Exact studies of the physi cal exertion put forth by the mem bers of the famous Yale crew of 1924 by Drs. Yandell Henderson and Howard W. Haggard of the de partment of applied physiology at Yale, show that each man developed, during the period of a race, about one-half horsepower. Three Methods Used. Determinations of energy expend ed were obtained in various ways. The men were exercised individ ually on rowing-machines with power meters attached; the ratio of oxygen taken in to carbon diox ide given off in breathing was de termined; the racing shell they used was towed by a power boat with a spring balance set into the towline. “The data from these three meth ods were in general in fair agree ment,” says Dr. Henderson. “They indicate that the maximal exerted is from .45 to .55 horse power per man, or expressed in the heat equivalent, 4.8 to 5.9 calories per minute, with a total energy ex penditure of 19 to 29 calories per minute, or 13 to 20 times the basal rate.” Athletes Not Overworked It was noted that these athletes did not puff and blow noticeably, however great their exertion; this is in marked contrast with the dis tress of untrained or half-trained men. The amount of oxygen they took in through their lungs reached about the limit of the carrying power of heart and blood; yet it was not sufficient to replace the amount burned up during the race. As Dr. Henderson expressed it, “He draws heavily on his credit and in curs oxygen deficits; these deficits art repaid by the high rate of oxy gen for a time after the work is ended.” DR. CROCKATT WRITES ARTICLE ABOUI ROADS “How T'raffic Has Been Shown Sufficient to Support New and Ne cessary Features in Oregon’s Bail Transportation Facilities,” an ar ticle by Dr. Peter C. Crockatt, of the economics department, appear ed in the December issue of “The Commonwealth Beview of the Uni versity of Oregon.” As this ar ticle is of importance and interest to Oregon students it might be well to consider a few of the facts Dr. Crockatt stresses. In general, the plan calls for the construction by the Union Pacific of a line from Bend to connect with the Natron cut-off near Odell, and from there southeasterly to Lake view. Also, a line is planned in a westward direction across the state from a point near the end of the present Crane extension to the built by the Union Pacific, to connect with the Natron cut-off at Odell. The article states that, “As Chair man Corey of the public service com mission of Oregon, the man who is responsible for the insistent push ing of the proceedings culmination in these favorable reports by ex aminers, stated: ‘ Approximately 33,000 square miles of territory in central and eastern Oregon will re ceive railroad transportation, facil ities where no transportation by rail existed before.’ ” As Dr. Crockatt brings out in the article, this case in which the pub lic service commission of Oregon is the plaintiff and the railway is the defendant, is the first one of its kind where railways on the face of things do not want to build, invok ing the power given the interstate commerce commission under the transportation act of 1920 to require extensions of existing systems where the public convenience and necessity is paramount. AEIZONA BACHELOR CLUB INCREASES MEMBERSHIP University of Arizona. — The Bachelor club at the University of Arizona has increased its number j to 259 members. As a punishment | for “queening,” a member of the! club will be forced to wear ,a Mother Hubbard on the campus for a day. Girls Seek Inspiration For Senior Thesis Two Co-eds Take Charge of Dancers For Studj To study the effect of education al dancing on the posture of college girls, two of the seniors in the de partment of physical education for women are working on this prob lem, for a senior thesis. e Educational dancing was intro duced into the University of Oregon by Miss Lillian Stupp, member of the staff of the physical education department, when she came two years ago. It is used quite exten sively, and was originated at the University of Wisconsin. To Correct Faults The two seniors, Laverna Spitzen berger and Neva Service, after ex perience with the do-cing them j selves, have taken s class composed of college women who were put in to the corrective department due to different postural defects, and are working to correct these defects. First of all the schematograph, j an instrument whereby the individ ual ’s posture may be traced on a piece of paper as she stands in front of it, casting the form on a glass plate is used. This picture is made when the person enters the class and is filed away to keep on record with the others that will be made as time goes on, and the difference in posture may be noted. At pres ent only one or two of these have been made, but they will be com pared with those made at a later date, and improvement is being expected. Work Continuous The work extends throughout the entire school year, and the same class is worked with all the time. The class is acquainted with the facts or the objects of the experi ment. and what is being aimed for. For this reason their co-operation is available, and therefore more is be ing accomplished, according to the girls in charge of the class. Miss Service and Miss Spitzen berger intend to note individual cases, as well as the class ps a whole, and draw any conclusions they can, and will organize the re sults into the senior thesis. It is hoped by the department, that some very definite results will be noted, and an increased interest in educational dancing will mani fest itself, especially among the University women who are anxious to correct the faulty posture which they have. This type of corrective work is under the direct supervision of Miss Harriet Thomson, head of that part of the physical education work for women and is one of the more in teresting phases of the corrective program. FRANK JUE WILL SING IN CONCERT AT SALEM Frank Jue, who is an advanced student in the school of music, will give a sacred concert in the First Christian church at Salem on Sun day morning and evening. He will also appear in a concert at The Dalles high school auditor ium Thursday evening of the same week. The program will include a duet with Henry Karpenstein, a graduate of the University of Ore gon, who is teaching in The Dalles. The duet will be “Solenne Ques tora” from the opera La Forza del Destino. A third concert in which he will appear will be at Tillamook, February 19. Jue, who is studying under John Seifert, sang at the Heilig theatre during the past week. STEAM CONNECTIONS MADE IN NEW SCIENCE BUILDING The steam line connection with the new science.building is being made today, states H. M. Fisher, superintendent of grounds. This will necessitate cutting off the steam this afternoon from the li brary, Oregon, and commerce build ings which are on this steam line. It is hoped the work will be com pleted so heat can be turned back into these three buildings by Sun day morning, said Mr. Fisher, and ; by heating them well this morning, | it is thought the buildings will not \ become uncomfortable in the mean time with the weather conditions; mild.

A., in a letter to Mother Djnnelly of the campus hut. “Please send me the scandal sheet and turn in my subscription to the Emerald,” he contnues after telling of his great satisfaction with his new duties and environments. Besides his duties at the Y. M. C. A., lie is doing correspondence for two local papers, and speaking be fore churches and schools, Pil 'states in his letter. “I have already written a news | article for a local paper in regard to inviting the Oregon football team here for holiday games.” he con cludes. Pil was prominent in athletics while on the campus. He played on last year’s baseball team. He sends his greetings to his campus friends.
