College Revamping
Physical Ed Setup
The physical fitness program of
th« national war effort has neces­
sitated a reorganization of the
physical education curriculum at
the Southern Oregon College of
Education, according to Dr Wal­
ter Redford, president. The college
is partici|>atli»g in the United
States Navy V-l program and in
the United States Army Air
Corps enlisted reserve program
which will necessitate getting al)
male students of the college phys­
ically fit and keeping them In tip­
top condition for the duration.
The reorganization of the phys­
ical educaton program will Ire
kept within the regular curricu­
lum structure but will Involve a
new emphasis on physical trainin;
and conditioning and the amount
of time spent In such physical ac­
tivity will be increased by OOH
percent.
The new proposal Is that every
man in school will be given «
thorough physical examination bx
the institutional physician.
As
soon as this man has been pro­
nounced physically fit by the
school doctor, he will be required
to take a physical education course
meeting one hour each day and
five days a week.
The Instructional program foi
each class will Involve the mor<
vigorous physical activities. These
activities will be selected with the
idea In mind of condltlonng the
enrollees and to make them phya-
ically strong. Such activities as
boxing, wrestling, apparatus, bas­
ketball,
cross-country
running,
calisthenics, swimming, bag punch­
ing and rope jumping will make
up a large portion of this new
physical education program.
Classes for the most part will
be so organized as to permit
freshmen, sophomores, juniors and
seniors to receive their training as
classes.
While physical fitness long haa
been an attribute of the potential
soldier, it is no leas Important for
the women
Consequently every
woman Will be rrqulrrd to receive
at least one hour of physical ex­
ercise In the scheduled physical
edcation class each day, five days
a week. These play periods and
class periods will be organized
ar. 1 supervised by a physical edu­
cation instructor. The activities
will be both recreational and of
the body building type. Remedial
and corrective gymnastics will be
further provided for all women
students having faulty posture or
in need of special physical treat­
ment. This remedial and corrective
work will be under the joint sup­
ervision of the college medical
staff, the college health service
and the physical education depart­
ment.
The new program will begin in
September of the fall term, 1042.
It will be under the general super­
vision of Jean F Eberhart, direc­
tor of physical education for men.
and D. Virginia Hales, director of
physical education for women. It
will be In effect for the duration
of the war.

Ashland could get along with
fewer voting places, without un­

Incidentally, it would effect a con-

COFFEE AND CAKE ON WHEELS Primary Holds Spotlight as
Voters Go to Polls Tomorrow
Today marks the close of the primary nominating
campaign in Oregon and candidates can only sit back
and wait for the results of their canvassing for votes.
Efforts of some of the candidates to inject a little
spirit into the campaign have been fruitless, so far as
public knowledge reveals, and it remains foi the final
count of the ballots to determine to what extent they
succeeded.
Some interest has been displayed in the McNary-
Geary race for nomination for United States senator.
Expressions were heard yesterday that Geary is show­
ing surprising strength and one spokesman went so

Of the 20 persons killed in traf­
fic accidents In the state in April,
four, or 20 perent, were pedestri­
ans. This is a stronger proportion
of pedestrians that was reported
in April of 1941, when, of the 40
deaths, seven, or 17.5 percent,
were pedestrians.
Reduction of speed and greater
care on the part of the drivers in
congested areas, were factors list­
ed by Snell as contributors to the
lowered traffic death figure.

The Grizzly netters will be

the other hand, many voters cling
to the belief that McNary's popu­
larity has not waned to any ap­
preciable extent and that the sen­
ate majority leader recent run­
ning mate of Wendell Wilkie will
remain in Washington.
Little has been heard about the
democratic candidates for senator,
MacBeth A. Milne and Walter W.
Whitbeck, both of Multnomah
county.
In the new fourth congressional
district there has been a near ap­
proach to a race. Four candidates
are seeking the republican nomi­
nation and three aspirants are af­
ter the democratic honor. Of the
republicans, three, Boehnk e and
Simon of Eugene and Ellsworth
of Roseburg, have made the most
outstanding campaign. The fourth
man, Harvey T. Statzer of Eu­
gene, is little known Ln this part
of the district. The democrats
have three candidates, with Ed­
ward C. Kelly of Jackson county
as the likely winner over Floyd
K. Dover of Josephine county and
Marvin T. Warlick of Lane.
In the governorship race the
battle appears to be nip and tuck
between Governor Charles A.
Sprague and Secretary of State
Earl Snell. There will be no sur­
prise whichever way this contest
turns out. On the democratic tick­
et, Howard Latourette appears to
have the edge over Lew Wallace.
Robert S. Farrell, republican,
and Francis Lambert democrat,
have no opposition for the office
of secretary of state, with the
same condition prevailing for the
office of commissioner of the bu­
reau of labor for which W. E.
Kimsey of Multnomah county
seeks the republican nomination
and Clarence F. Hyde the demo­
cratic nomination.
In the race for senator, sixth
senatorial district, there is but one
race—for the republican nomina­
tion. Earl T. Newbry of Ashland
is pitted against Walter J. Look­
er of Medford. Newbry says,
“Seeking election based on my re­
cord as legislator for the past two
terms.” Looker says, “Service to
my community, state and nation.**
Two candidates for state repre­
sentative are found on the repub­
lican ballot, Wm. M. McAllister of
Medford and Frank J. Van Dyke
of Ashland. Both candidates should
win handily.
No contests are slated for sher­
iff, commissioner and surveyor.
Syd I. Brown, democrat incumbent
is seeking reelection, as are Wm.
Perry for county commissioner
and Paul B. Rynnlng on the re­
publican ballot.

Grizzlies Stretch
Loss Record to 9
It was the same old story at
Fuller field Tuesday afternoon
when the Ashland high school
baseball team faced Jacksonville's
Redskins for the courageous Griz­
zlies stretched their number of
straight losses to nine in dropping
a double header to Leonard Pat-
terson's outft.
Bud Provost pitched the first
game of the twin bill and was
stopped 7 to 1 in a seven inning
session. Quackenbush and Delbert
Landing shared mound duties in
the second clash which found
Jacksonville ahead 9 to 1 at the
end of five innings. Barney Riggs
caught both games for Ashland.
Mule worked the first one for
Jacksonville and Smith was on the
rubber for the second, with John­
son catching both.
In the first game Riggs hit a
triple and, amid bronx cheering
from Patterson, stole home.
Grants Pass, with a double win
over Medford last Friday, still has
a firm grip on first place. The
locals entertain the Cavemen here
in a doubleheader next Mondav
afternoon. Ashland plays Medford
there today in one game.
