Mass PE Setup
Slated for Men
By JOE MILLER
Dean Ralph Leighton’s plan for
the mass physical education of
all male students swings into ac
tion this fall, and it portends a
revolutionary all-time change
for the PE setup of the Univer
sity of Oregon. Dean Leighton’s
plan is a unique one, compared
to the other coast schools that
are trying the mass PE experi
ment. In brief, here is the pattern
it will follow:
1. Football and basketball—
two terms of one of these sports
for all men.
2. Track and field two terms
for all men.
3. Boxing, wrestling, tumbling
and apparatus, weights, and
jwdo -two terms of one of these
. ports for all men.
4. Swimming- two terms for
all men.
5. An elective from any of the
three groups after completion of
■these six required terms- four
terms.
No Surface Stuff
Instead of skimming the sur
face of many sports, Dean Leigh
ton's plan intensifies action in
one particular sport and learning
inore than just the fuiidementals
of that sport. Southern Califor
nia and Washington State chal
lenge this idea and plan to spend
only three weeks apieee on one

sport, teaching merely the basic
fundamentals. Oregon's setup
starts with team games—if we
get enough uniforms we’ll play
tackle football, according to for
mer coach at the College of Ida
ho—then go into self-defense and
body-building work and finish off
with the swimming program.
“You can’t learn a sport over
a short period of time,” he
claims, “and furthermore you
can’t go from football into swim
ming in three weeks without
straining and possibly injuring
the muscles of the body. I can
take a boy for three weeks and
net be able to teach him a thing
about boxing, but give me an en
tire term and I can make him a
pretty clever boxer—this is true
of any sport. You can’t dabble.”
Calisthenics Are “In”
Calesthenics are going to play
an important supplementary part
in the program, according to Dr.
Leighton. A short warmup pe
riod before the games will help
guard against anyone getting
hurt. In track we will use arm
exercises to build up the neglect
ed upper part of the body. There
will be corrective back exercises
for the squad that is in the bas
ketball program, and these entire
exercises are expected to form a
very integral part of our pro
gram, the dean stated.

a “natural,” and that is exactly
what the impending clash be
tween Lt. Commander “Tex”

Some of the “naturals” that
Coach Oliver will play against
his former team are Stanford's
All-American Franlcy Albert,
