STUDENTS SHOW
MUCH STRENGTH
Idaho Boys and Girls Far Above
Easterners In Physical
Strength

University Of Idaho, Moscow, Jan
23.-IdahO students are much strong
er than Eastern college men and wo
men. This superiority is shown by
the dynamometer, device for test
ing and measuring the strength Of
practically every group Of muscles in
the body. The average test OF East
ern college men is 4125 pounds. The
average of $50 Idaho men, taken as
they came to the machine, is 5453
pounds. The average strength Of
Eastern college women is 1890
pounds, while that OF the Idaho CO
eds Is 1925. This year only men
and only women at the University
fell below the Eastern averages. AS
whole the Idaho men are 81 per
cent and the women 81 percent strong
err than the Eastern college students.
The best developed girl at the Uni
versity is Miss Winifred Brown OF
Landore. She made the remarkable
test Of 5095 pounds, which is far
above the Eastern average and almost
up to the standard for Idaho men.
Miss Brown Is feet 6 and $40
inches in height and weighs 1856
pounds. In appearance she is typi.
cally feminine and slight rather than
otherwise, not giving the effect OF
over-muscular development in any
way. Her superb physique is per-
fectly normal, there being no override
velopment Of some muscles at the ex-
pense OF others According to Physi-
cal Director Van der Veer her devel-
opment represents what every girls
should be.
Other girls with unusual records
are Vivian Allen of Standpoint with
a test of 4935 pounds, Precious Ross
of Moscow with 1850 and Josephine
Wayman OF Hanna with 4505. A truly
test Is that of Florence
Blomquist of Moscow. Only s feet
in height and weighing but los
pounds she totalled 1915 ON the dyna-
mometer. Bernice Mason Of New Ply|
mouth is also surprisingly we'll de-
veloped for her size. She weighs 113
and is S feet inches in height. Her
test is 384O pounds.
Among the men Julius Nordby Of
Genesee holds the record with test
Of 1910 pounds. Stanley Brown Of
Palouse is second with TOTO, and Buck
of Lewiston third with 6789.
In the competition for the cups to
be given to the best developed Fresh
man, Brown Is leading for the men 8
cup. He Is feet 9 inches tall and
weighs 1856. He played star game
At full back on the football team last
all and is one of the most promis-
ng players seen at the University for
several years.
Miss Tina Gregg Of Lewiston Is
eading for the women's cup with
est OF 1900. She Is 5 feet inches
n height and weighs 1853. She is
lister of Vean Gregg, the crack
,itcher Of the Cleveland American
eague team.
The splendid physical development
II the Idaho students Is in part due
o their vigorous outdoor life. The
Idaho student Ia at home
n the woods or mountains. Miss
Brown, for example, has hunted, fish
ID, camped, snowshoed, skeed and
idden horses ever since she was
title girl. During vacation the men
tudents are engaged in healthy,
work, such as in the
crest service service or in survey
ng parties. Then, too, there may be
in the climate. At any
ate there are few weaklings among
he Idaho students and their aver
ge strength test is much higher than
hat of Eastern college men and wo-
len.
