Daily sports were stressed to improve re- flexes and muscular coordination. Boys engaged in basket- ball, volleyball, and football during the forty minute period each day. Weight-room facilities offered boys the chance to develop and tone body muscles. Coach Tom Verbanatz was in charge of instruction with the twelve machines, each of which contained weight equalling four hundred and forty pounds. Added to the traditional team and individual sports was a newly incorporated game called cage ball. The Varsity practice field hosted the sport, spotlighting the six-foot diameter ball used in the game.
