The Vol. VI Daily Bulletin Cloze Stotion Texas, Wednesday, April 23, 1924, No. 166 PHYSICAL EDUCATION DRAINAGE EXPERT COURSE IS PLANNED ~~ WILL SPEAK TODAY CONTEST ARE NAMED Coach House Will Be Head of New | J in Drainage of Irrigated Department; New Gym Will Per- mit of Regular Gymnastics. Creation of the department of phy- sical * education to function just as do the other instructional departments of the College will be provided for next year if the Board of Directors adopts a recommendation which has been passed by the general faculty of the College. President Bizzell has had as one of his chief ambitions for some time to come the creation of a physical education department. It was with that end in view that H. H. House was brought to the college year be- fore last. While no definite announcem:nc has been made by Dr. Bizzell or ihe faculty as to the scope to be covered by the newly created department, House has conferred with Head Coach Bible and President Bizzell a number of times as to the organiza- tion of the new work. One feature of the instructional work from a practical standpoint will be the conduct of classes in cor- rective gymnastics for men who are not physically well developed. The aim of President Bizzell is to make the schedule of instruction in ath- letics of benefit to every man instead of being highly specialized on a few outstanding individuals. The com- pletion of the gymnasium will make possible some real work from that standpoint. In addition the theoretical instruc- tion will cover personal and social hygiene, as well as other commonly accepted phases of physical educa- tion. For the past two years House has been conducting freshman physical examinaticns and doing follow up work on deficiencies found in the physical development of the first year men. When he is released entirely from athletic coaching, as he will be next year, he will put more of his time into this phase of his work. Hospital records during the next three years of a student’s collegiate life will make a splendid physical record for him. : (Continued on Col. 1, Page 4) I Lands Will Address Agricultural Engineers; Others Invited.
