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. :
