prospects-tiiis year in addition to greer look very favorable this important part of the team has been v€ry materially strengthened by the return of morgan and mellinger they have returned to the grid

faulty postures contrasting this about 80 per cent of the upper classmen have good postures this fact alone would tend to point to the fact that most of the elementary schools have not given proper instruction in body positions about 60 per cent of the first year men have low right should ers a fault that needs immediate attention the physical educa tion department is making every effort to instruct men in the ele ments of good posture and any student who was told by the ex aminers that his posture was not what it might be is urged to report to this department for corrective exercises
