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.

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

Frank Jue, who is an advanced
student in the school of music, will
give a sacred concert in the First

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.
