Thesemen, instructors of the Physical Training Department, provided competent coaching for Navy squads in almost every known inter- collegiate sport. Their task, however, is not ended when they put our winning teams on the field. Today they are emphasizing the training of all midshipmen, building in them the physical strength, stamina, and aggressive The Mark VII muscle tester N eclc-H R US T J l, .,,, Q1 -lst ROPV-Lt.

With this end in view, the department has adopted and supervised new drills in boxing, wrestling, rough and tumble, hand-to-hand combat, and the basic swimming strokes. The select few of us who failed to pass the annual strength and swimming tests were placed on the Nsub and weak squadsn which diminished any plans for week- end dragging. We groaned at the inconveniences of morning exercises, the commando course, and the Usub and weak squads, but soon we shall be grateful for this training which made us ready for life in the fleet.

It all begins Plebe summer with inter-battalion matches and continues on through our few short years at the Academy. Although the sport as inter-collegiate competition has been dropped, the ability and skill of our top-notchers has continued. This is due to a large extent to the instruc- tion and sound advice given by NSpike Webb, who is not only a favorite here on the Severn, but is also recog- nized and highly regarded throughout the nation by those who have followed the sport. The highlight of the Uhell-for-leather season comes with the Regimental tournament to determine the champs. In the familiar square ring and under the bright glare of overhead lights, accompanied by all the gusto of the attending Regiment, the outstanding pugilists of the Academy clash for the attainment of their ultimate goal-final success and the title. This year's bouts pro- duced such sterling performances as: Bramlett's wallop- ing blow which sent Chase to Dreamlandg'3 the Sulli- Spike Webb drew from long years of experience in teaching his boys how to cleal that knock-out blow Sullivan takes a nine count in bout van-Snyder slugfast along with that of Barksdale versus McPl1illipsg the Murpliy-Sewell encounter packed with preciseness and skill.
