Freshmen Make
Good Scores in
Physical Tests!
John Anderson Breaks
Previous Five-lap
Swimming Record
Fourteen Men Complete
Test with Eighty Points
One physical ability record was
broken, and one of last year’s marks
bettered in the recent physical tests
conducted by the men’s department
of physical education. John Ander
son, freshman from Bridgeport,
Connecticut, clipped seven seconds
from the swimming record when he
finished the five-lap swim in one
minute and one second. The former
record in this event was one min
ute, eight seconds, made last year
by Art Larsen, sophomore candidate
for the varsity swimming team this
year. Anderson also leads in total
number of points scored. His total
is 104 points.
Of the 200 men who took the
test, fourteen scored 80 points or
more. Eugene Eichmond, senior in
physical education, made a total of
119 points when he was a freshman,
and this mark has (been neither
equalled nor passed since.
Carl Forrstram, Powder Eiver,
cleared the bar vault at 6 feet 8
inches, and bettered by 4 inches,
last year’s mark in this test. The
record is held by Don Woodward,
former editor of the Emerald, who
pulled himself over 6 feet 10 inches
in 1921.
Bun is Fast
Gilbert Hermance, senior, still
holds the record of 22.2 seconds in
the two lap run, but Harold Kelly,
Portland, pressed his mark uncom
fortably close, when he crossed the
line in 22.3 seconds. Dwight Kirch
er, of last year’s freshman track
team, made the best time a year
ago. He finished in 23 flat.
No records were broken in the
rope climb, but five men completed
this in 10 seconds, which is very
good time, according to officials
handling the tests. The five are
Patrick Maginnis, Millard Sehmeer,
William Fowler, Carl Forrstram, and
Paul Knep. The record, 8.4 seconds,
was made by Alvin Hills in 1923.
Spearow Holds Record
Ralph Spearow, former star pole
vaulter and Olympic performer,
holds the all-time record for the
high jump. His leap was recorded
at 6 feet. G. H. Strickland holds
the high mark this year, with 5 feet
2 inches. Bill Crawford jumped 5
feet 4 inches in 1925.
All men who passed the test are
allowed to select their own branch
of physical activity, and may take
it at their own time.
Following are those who scored
80 points or more: John Anderson,
104; Webb Hayes, 101; Harold Ful
ler, 93; Millard Sehmeer, 91; Pat
rick Maginnis, 88; Carl Forrstram,
SS; D. H. McLeod, 88; William Siev
ers, 85; Elwood Enke, 84; Harvey
Pollicar, 83; Harold Kelly, 81; Mer
ele Lowell, 81; Kirby Kittoe, 80;
Ronald Murray, 80.
Next Test October 16.
Another physical ability test, for
those who have not yet taken it,
and for those who desire to better
their present scores, is scheduled
for 10 o’clock Saturday, October
16, according to Perry Davis, phys
ical education instructor, who has
charge of the work.

South Seas An Eden Of Balmy Days,
Fascinating People, Says Mrs. Beck
Music Professor Tells of Summer Cruise Amid Fiji
Islands; Finds Natives Intelligent
Radiant sunshine, beautiful nights |
under the tropic 'moon and stars,
calm seas, balmy air and the gra
ciousness of the natives, are feat
ures of the South Sea Islands which
make a tour of this scenic paradise
the most fascinating and wonderful
in the world, is the opinion of Anne
Landsbury Beck, head of public
school music, who spent two and
one-half months cruising in south
ern waters this summer.
She sailed from San Francisco,
June 16, on the Steamer Makura,
with a party of twelve, including
her brother, J. J. Landsbury, dean
of the school of music, Frances
Pierce, ’26, of the school of music,
and several others from Eugene.
“The journey was the most de
lightful one I have ever taken,”
Mrs. Beck said, “and it was com
pletely restful, absorbing, enjoyable
and full of romance.”
After an eleven-day voyage the
travelers landed at Tahiti and from
there proceeded to Rarotonga, one
of the Cook Islands, administered
by New Zealand under the British
Hag.
The voyagers left the ship a
half-mile out from land as it could
not enter the harbor and reached
the island in whale boats. ^Delicious
wild oranges and bananas grow on
plantations here but they are not
shipped to the United States, due to
a fruit disease.
New Zealand was sighted after
seven days of sailing and the party
remained there for two weeks. This
island is noted for its beautiful
lakes, rivers and pastoral country.
The natives are very handsome per
sons, intellectual and industrious.
Auckland is the largest city of this
land and from here the travelers
embarked from Suva, capital of the
Fijis, on the Tofua, which was
manned by a native crew. They
cruised for two weeks in the Ton
gan and Samoan groups.
“This was the most unique part
of the trip and we saw every sort
of native, including a princess,”
Mrs. Beck said.
She witnessed a football game be
tween the Fijians and Samoans in
which the latter were victorious.
The players were all barefooted.
“The ocean was especially calm,
and the rising and setting of the;
sun was particularly beautiful be- j
cause we had a complete view of
the horizon,” she continued. One'
of the interesting features is the
Southern Cross which jewels the sky,
and is only visible in the southern;
hemisphere. *
There is more color in the south- j
ern sky and waters than in tem
perate countries, Mrs. Beck reports,
and there is a rest and fascination
in which the rush and hurry of the
world is forgotten even while work
ing. The ocean breeze and the
tropical verdure relieve the heat,
making the climate very enjoyable.
The natives are charming and
hospitable; the men have handsome
physiques and the women are very
good looking. They are gracious to
strangers and many of them speak
English in soft, even tones. They
have a natural singing ability.
The islands retain their native
habits, though owned by England,
and the inhabitants live in villages
with chiefs to rule them. The peo
ple still wear the lava lava, a light
garment, which was formerly made
from wood but is now made of
flax. They make tapa cloth from
wood and also beautiful mats.
The Hawaiian Islands were visit
ed on the last lap of the journey.
“They do not offer the same type
of interest the other groups do as
the people have become American
ized,” she said regretfully. The
ocean was rougher and it was much
colder on the homeward stretch.
“The trip was a realization of all
I expected of the South Seas and
was thoroughly fascinating and
lovely,” Mrs. Beck declared in con
clusion.
