Army Air Forces Physical Program Upped to New High SANTA ANA, Calif., March 31 Physical instructors of the AAF western flying training command have increased physical fitness of the country's finest seven per cent to an all-time high in primary training, it was an nounced today. This push up ; in ruggedness cant come too soon or go too far according to Aviation Cadet ; Ev erett C. Stover, Santa Ana army air base, who already has. fought more than somewhat in the south Pacific. "The Japs sure must be doing the side straddle hop i and the Tokyo shuffle . . . they're tough ar a boot," he says. " " Physical fitness ratings in the air forces are measured in sit-ups, chin-ups and 300-yard runs. In tht sit-up you lie flat on your back, hands locked behind your head. Then your stomach muscles twang like piano wires hauling you up and over until you touch your right elbow to your left knee and vice versa. An alleged pal sits on your feet to keep you from scrottching- up your knees. The average of thousands of cadets at the end of primary training Is over 100 of these groaners hand running and some iron men have bettered the 200 mark. : - Chin-ups are air force for chin- ning yourself, and IS times is the average after primary training. At the same time you should-run the 300-yard shuttle course in un der i SO seconds. All this evokes groans and grunts in training, but every combat veteran , from LL : Tom Harmon on out owes his life to bis physical fitness sometime or other.

Salem amassed 75 points, the annually potent Maroons 45, Chemawa 23 and Albany 8. , :': y The Viks nabbed seven, of the 13 firsts and copped the relay. Along the way they swept com pletely the discus 'event when Art Gottfried, Tom Boardman, Joe Fonnick and Wilford Beard fin ished in that order, and grabbed 10 of the 11 points obtainable In the half mile when the 1-2-3 boys Benny Lambert, Bob Macey and Jim Shawver finished in that their favorite order. ". i Marks were exceptionally good for so early in the season. Those ooked upon with a "whew were the 11-foot pole vault by Lyle Williams of Salem, the 20-foot 9- inch broad jump by Bob Webber of Salem, the 123f oot ?-inch dis cus spin by Gottfried, with Board- man less than two feet behind. the 2:06.5 half mile by Lambert, the 24.5 220-yard dash by Dick Hicks of Milwaukie, who finished fifth in this event in the state meet last year, the :57 440-dash by Pete Hahn of the Maroons, the 5:01 mile by Alan Peterson of Milwaukie, and the stunning sur prise century win! in :10.6 by Big Bob Webber, the Vik professed broad-jumper. But far outshining these marks as far as Drynan and the SHS fol lowers are concerned was the per' formances of the two Viking transfers Webber from San Francisco and Williams from Ne braska. In grabbing the century win over such ramblers as Hicks of Milwaukie and George Walters of Chemawa, to say nothing of his 20-foot 9-inch broad jump and breath-taking stint on the winning relayers, Webber brings -the Dry nanmen may potential ; ' points where they needed 'em most, Wil liams 11-foot vault is another mark highly regarded In the state, and he, too, galloped a leg on the relay team as well as finishing third in the high hurdles. Were it not for knocking over two bar riers on the way, Williams would have given winning Merle t Wil liams of Chemawa a battle for it As was expected, tht Viks were most powerful in the field events. Another first place was missed by missed by only an eighth of an inch when. Eugene Lowe's shot put was Just that much short of the 38 -feet 11-inch winning effort of Milwaukee's George Morse. But Norm Dalke copped the -javelin and the two Dicks, Gatke and Brown, tied for first in the high jump to .give Salem top spot in every field event outside the shot Individual high point honors went to Chemawa's. Merle Wil liams, no relation to the Vik find. He nabbed the high barriers, was second. in the lows, second in the pole vault, tied for third in the high jump, and ran a leg on Coach Lefty Wilder "s relay squad, which finished third. Webber's two firsts in the. 100 and broad jump gave Drvnan's junior 10 points and second place individually..
