1934 Cedrus Yearbook

PHYSICAL EDUCATION The physical education department this year, under the direction of Coach Ault and his able assistants, "Red" Murray, "Smitty" Smith, and "Bob" Ross, offered a complete and varied program, to meet the needs of the students, at the same time providing interesting competition. "Red" conducted a program of calisthenics, softball, volleyball, basketball, and soccer for the men. "Smitty's" program is reviewed on the following page. "Bob" had charge of special classes in wrestling, boxing, tumbling, and fencing. Richards and Corry proved out- standing in wrestling; G. Ross and Macknight were outstanding in boxing; Tobias, Bull, Dob- bins, and West showed fine form with the foils: Meyers and Cappola demonstrated excellent possibilities in tumbling. Mount and Anderson, two feminine aspirants to "King of the Blade," were not greatly outdone by the male fencers in consideration of the fact that they were late additions to the ranks of this sport. Soon after college had started, Coach Ault appointed eight men from the student body to act as captains for intramural volleyball teams. A tournament was staged for the benefit of the blood-thirsty student body. Sad to relate, after many titanic struggles and closely contested games, only one team was able to call itself champion. However, like all good champions, the winners took that coveted honor with good grace. Members of the winning combination were L. Ross, Mills, McCallister, Richards, Spencer, Tobin, R. Ross (captain). At the close of the varsity basketball season, another colossal struggle for supremacy was staged in the innocent-sounding form of a class tournament in basketball. Little did any student know the ghastly chaos in which those martyrs were to struggle. For in these days to be chosen to play on a class team is a judgment of martyrdom itself. Eventually the officials, time and place were agreed upon, and so continued the history-making epoch of an ambitious Freshman class, who emergeJ triumphant out of the maelstrom. Page Forty-six
