1 1 - fa T . f ft T L , , SWIMMING Prospects for the Longhorn swimming team are certainly not too dark. Cfoach Gerber has. at present, a team comprised mostly of boys who will be back for several future seasons. Thus. the plan of attack for the interscholastic meets this year will be for experience, and not entirely for victory. The team with plenty of experience is usually the team that wins, so in a few years the Southwest swimming team will probably lead the field. Two-thirds of the members of the team are fourth termers or under. which means that they will be back for at least two more seasons. The team has suffered. however, by Stones total absence Qiyj' because of an appendectomy, and Cavan- augh's partial absence for the same reason. f Two mainstays of the team. Calvin Duke 2 1, 'X 'gxaif 1 and Lawrance liuqua, were lost in gradua- friwfl. tions last January. Though these tragedies -1 1- have lessened the possibilities ot having a ffm f'f.??q5,g-,M star team this year. remember to keep your 'WRU ', - no 'Noi' ' Q'P0 - eye on this team.

Though some veterans were lost in last January's graduation, there are still a number of lettermen who will Hnish this season or return for the next. The team record so far has been good, especially considering the fact that Kermit Fales, co-captain and one of the team's mainstays, was absent from the Hrst ten games of the season. The basketball B squad, or the Shorthorns, B -1 J as they have named themselves, have been getting a TT D f great deal of experience in practice games with non- C Q D league teams. A number of boys in this junior divi- L i L sion show unusual promise, and it is expected that C 1 Am they will amply fill any vacancy in the A squad. C lj ' ln addition to these future stars, the team can C T rely on squad members Bahn, Baker, Boekemeier, I Q Jennings, and Rubich for next season. X Q Graduation, however, has taken its toll. Co- -T Qi,-N captains Allen and Hill were graduated last January, ,X and Dailey, Garret, l-lall, Marlo, Nichols, and Co- me 'Q Q captain Fales will graduate in June.

Williams ff' V ln the Gym Club there are three major apparatus exercises: the hanging group, which involves work on the horizontal bar: the support group, which uses the side horse and parallel bars: the mat group, which is the tumbling section. ln each of the three groups different muscles are used and developed. The hanging group develops the muscles in the shoulder, ff arm, abdomen, and certain muscles in the chest and . back. The exercises in the support group bring an entirely new set of muscles into play. They are the muscles of the trunk, forearm, wrist, and hand, Finally ' ' we come to tumbling exercises which develop leg and , thigh muscles. Besides this general development, the swinging and turning stimulates the action of the heart, lungs, and other vital organs. Taking all of this into account. we can readily see that the exercises on the Bl 6 apparatus reach every part ot the body and tend to W develop a strong and healthy body which is everyones A desire, 4 Y.
