My dear Dr. Allen:

You will be interested in this section of @ircular No. 142
from Headquarter, Army Service Forces, 7 Dec. 43.

"1, TEST. Reference is made to the Pamphlet, Army Service
Forces, Army Specialized Training Division, Physical Efficiency
Tests, revised 5 May 1948.

2. The administration of the physical efficiency test, as
prescribed, may involve difficulties at some AST units during
inclement winter weather. This applie@ particularly to the 300
yard runesand the 100 yard pick-a-back. Because of varying conditions
at different institutions and during different seasons, necessary
modifications of these test events may be authorized by those locally
responsible, or they may be omitted from the test if conditions
are such as to make their omthssion advisable.

Se If departure from preeribed methods of conducting any test
event are necessary, the modifications in event will be noted on the
Term-end Physical Efficiency Report in sufficient details to account
for variations in results."

Sincerely yours,

Bert A. Nash
Director, AST Program
