Though he is So years old, Walter
Camp, well known as an athletic
trainer and the author Of many books
on football and athletics, is serving
his Uncle Sam. Camp is now athletic
instructor at the government aviation
school at the University Of Califor-
mia, Berkeley, Cal.
Camp has been active in the man
agement Of Yale athletics for many
years. He represents Yale on the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic association.
AS secretary OF the football rules
committee he has instituted many
changes for the betterment Of tho
gridiron sport.
There is little that Walter Camp
does not know about the physical de-
velopment OF young men, as he has
specialized in that field for so many
years. In serving as athletic instruc-
tor for the government he will be a
most important factor in putting the
young men under his charge in the
best possible physical shape. The men
training for the aviation branch of
the service are required to be almost
fawless physically and Camp has been
chosen as the man to bring them to
that condition.
