‘ April 24, 1946 Colleagues of the Department of Physical Education Robinson Gymnasium bear Colleague: , With arising costs of materials and labor our budget is facing heavy strain. It is our hope to tring back to normalcy, as soon as possible, the worn out equipment and to furnish balls, bats,, and other play equipment for spring intramurals to the best of our ability. However, I am wondering if we could not economize somewhat by making our balls go as far as possible with the view of cutting down somewhat the leather goods bill for balls in the future, I am sure that you are doing everything possible but I thought this friendly letter to you asking for the fullest cooperation in the face of tightened budget would get the job done. Any suggestion that you may have toward improving this condition and allowing fullest play oppore tunities for all of our veterans wili be appreciated. Iam sure you will take this in the spirit in which it is intended, but do not fail to understand that I have already appreciated your fine spirit of cooperation in every waye Sincerely yours, a Director of Physical Education, FCA:MF Varsity Basketball Coache \ December 10, 1946 Mr. Henry A.

(AP) — With “peacetime military training and physical fitness legislation be- fore Congress, sentiment is growing among the legislators in favor of incorporating army “toughening- up” methods—including obstacle courses—into college. curricula. Representative Carlson of Kansas, Republican, who: reports the spread of this opinion in Congress, says: “We ought to have the benefit of the army’s experience as the basis of whatever we do in the future in physical fitness and military educa-_|‘ tion programs.” Carlson cites specifically the ex- cellent results obtained by the army in the use of obstacle courses. One = such course, - considered among the best, is at Camp Robin- son, Ark, The program in operation there would be available to schools and colleges. Developed by Infantry Col. Pres- ton B. Waterbury, the Camp Robin- son program has been tested in pre- paring overseas-bound replacements for fighting divisions. _ Brig. Gen. Henry P. Perrine, com- mander of the infantry replacement‘ {training center at Camp Robinson, and many other army officials who have studied the plan in operation are in complete accord as to its value—for .wartime training of] j fighting men now, and possible use in physical conditicning of high school and college students after the war. The Camp Robinson conditioning program itself is primarily designed to prepare men to meet enemy sol- diers. But it can be adapted to answer the nation’s needs for an uplift of the physical standards that caused more than 4 million young men be rejected for military}. The program is divided into five phases, calculated to develop strength, aggressive spirit, tough- ness, confidence and endurance. Most. spectacular of the training sections is the “confidence course.” The men themselves build towering apparatus, some of which stands 540 feet high. Its purpose is to give young men confidence in their own abilities to meet any situation re- quiring physical skill and mental alacrity, The infantrymen also receive work daily on a “strength course.” They use discarded tin cans filled with cement and combined with old gaspipe into weight-lifting bar bells; ‘\clothesline rope for skipping exer- cises; a wooden “roman chair,” to harden stomach muscles and several others. Additional sections include work with heavy logs in group exercises, “dirty fighting” instruction and a daily cross-country mile run, The program in its entirety has been submitted to the War depart- ment. Educators in Little Rock, Ark., where Camp Robinson is lo- cated, have indicated they intend to adopt the entire Waterbury train- ing scheme for use in local schools. a Part of the training is currently being considered for adoption by the New York City police depart- ment, i Ward H. Haylett, internationally famous track coach at Kansas State college, said he intended to investi- |gate the possibilities of using the|i Waterbury program in training col-|i lege track athletes. Haylett, a vet~ eran of the first World war, toured Europe in 1938 as coach of an aill- American track team that returned .|unbeaten by the continent’s best.
