TRACK Coach Bowers' track squad, though hamp- e1'ed by bad weather, have been working diligently and were successful in trimming Eureka talways toughj in their first meet fill to 59. The loss of Bill Kirkton to the armed services following the first meet will sorely be felt. There are some promising under- classmen out and opponents are going to find El Paso hard to beat. BASEBALL EI Paso boys welcomed the revival of baseball this spring, and any lack of ex- perience is most certainly being made up for in spirit. Coach Ferguson's boys have played but one game to date against an ex- perienced Washburn team, and were de- feated 9 to 0. With a little experience these fellows will make it tough for the opposition. PHYSICAL FITNESS IS ESSENTIAL In addition to a complete schedule of inter- scholastic sports, each boy not out for varsity sports is required to take physical education five days a week. The P. E. program is divided into three divisions including outdoor, indoor, and swimming pool activities. The outdoor program is carried on in the fall and spring and generally consists of ten minutes of calisthenic exercise each day and fifteen min- utes of marching two or three days a week, The -.sizsgt boys run long distances in Indian file and par ticipate in competitive sports such as touch foot ball and soccer. In the gymnasium provision is made for sev eral additional activities such as rope climbing obstacle courses, wrestling. boxing, and basket ball. The boys also make good use of the swim ming pool. A physical fitness test has been set up includ ing tests for speed, endurance and ability.
