The tests conducted in ten of the twelve weeks conditioning
course of the Pitt Engineers added further evidence of the sound-
ness of procedures. Frank Carver, Charles Hartwig, Bob Hoel,
Ralph Mitterling, and Michael Josephs have our deepest apprecia-
tion for this particular series.

The wholesome cooperation of everyone in the Pitt Aircrew
Training Detachment clinched the validity of the test as a most
reliable functional evaluation of physical condition. Major Earl
Bartholomew, Captain James P. Smith, and Captain John Grant of
the A. A. F. cooperated in this option of army conditioning. Clerks
Walter Ridley, Harold Guillaume, John King, John Wooley, and
Jack Gilbert handled mountains of figures to rate the deserved
accolade of every champion of athletics. The direction of this series
was under the able guidance of Stanley Olenn and Robert Hoel,
who also directed a program for the Army Specialized Training
Reservists confirming the value of the procedure.

With deep appreciation to the foregoing helpers, it must be
recorded that this work would not have been reported without the
help of two other gentlemen. George Edwards, of the University
of Missouri, an outstanding gentleman, coach, and writer, had the
patience, energy, and ability to present a winning case against the
uninformed. Wendell Gullion of the University of Pittsburgh Press
