Allen Will Make He-Men For Defense
In line with a request of the government that colleges step up their physical education programs to increase the number of men physically fit for service, the University will present a course in physical conditioning under the direction of Dr. Forrest C. Allen, to begin next week.
The physical conditioning program as planned by Doctor Allen and administrative officials will be for the benefit both of students and faculty members.
As the first step in the conditioning course, physical examinations will be given all those taking part. This will be done at Watkins Memorial hospital under the direction of Dr. R. I. Canuteson.
Any remediable physical defects or weaknesses that are disclosed in those examinations w ill be given special attention in the conditioning course in an effort to correct them. Individual work will be stressed in the course.
College Credit Given
Students enrolled in the physical conditioning course will get regular college credit. Plans are to hold the class three times a week, from 3:30 to 4:30 o'clock, Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon.
Doctor Allen will be assisted in the course by Henry Shenk of the physical education department. Shenk will supervise the class at

any times that Allen's basketball coaching duties may keep him away.
"We want he-men in our group, who are willing to put out in a big way," says Doctor Allen. "They may not be in tip-top physical shape now, but we will get them there by building up gradually, if they will put out the affair."
Learn to Walk
Ability to walk distances without fatigue will be one objective of the physical conditioning course. Doctor Allen points out that with automobile tires and tubes being rationed and gasoline being needed by the armed forces, civilians can use the ability to walk without tiring to good advantage.
"A student who desires an officer's commission rather than a private's ranking will have a considerable advantage if he is rigorously and physically fit," reminds Allen. It takes 14 civilian workers in defense activities to keep one fighter in action. In regard to this, Allen says, "Defense is rapidly changing to offense and with superb physical fitness, the nation at home will support the greatest Yank fighting Army of all time."

nie Andre and Bill Menke, will be present in the Navy's starting line-up. Andres, who performed for the Hoosiers three years ahead of Menke, hung up the Big Ten individual scoring record at 31 points in his final game, but the mark has since been shattered by Bill Hapac of Illinois. Menke, among the first five scorers of the Big Ten for three years, teamed up with Cleary, Huffman, Dro, and Armstrong to crush Kansas 60-42 two years ago in the finals of the N.C.A.A.
Lobsiger Is Familiar Sight
The other two All-Americans are Johnny Adams, formerly of Arkansas, and Lee Huber, ex-Kentucky great. Adams, who averaged better than 20 points per game for the Razorbacks, is famed for his two-handed jump shot. Huber, standing $6^{4}$', was a member of the Chicago Herald-American All-Star team, after completing a brilliant cage career at Kentucky.
The accomplishments, in brief, of the seven remaining squad members on the Great Lakes team are: Forrest Anderson, Pacific Coast all-star
