Oxygen Supplied Heart,
Not Stout Legs, Makes
The Champions

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Jan. 20
R-The secret of the endurance of
the great distance runners, Cum
bingham, Lash, San Romani, Ven.
IKE, Fenske and others, has been
found at Indiana university and the
Harvard fatigue laboratory.
1t Is not legs alone, but oxygen.
Have More Oxygen
The champions, in addition to be.
ing highly skilled, are able to sup.
ply their muscles with far more oxy.
gen than the average man, and since
oxidation of fuel is the principal
source Of energy in a distance run
they have more energy available for
the work.
For example, Don Lash, the two
miller, when running uses Sc quarts
OF oxygen per minute. The average
non-athlete of Lash's size and age
is unable to go higher than 81
quarts.
Men like Lash have a gifted inter-
nal mechanism for extracting oxy-
gen.
The runners tested included also
Tommy Deckard and Godfrey
Brown, the English quarter mile
champion. Many Of these tests were
made on racing treadmills in the In.

oratory. Others were made after
championship races.

Most of them were conducted by a

mill, the air they exhaled. They and
ordinary men ran to exhaustion.
The oxygen they drew into their
lungs, and then exhaled unused, told
the story. For each breath no per-
son uses lore than a small percen-
tage of the oxygen. There is 81 per
cent of oxygen in pure air, and on
the average there is still II per cent
when it is exhaled.
The only way oxygen gets into
tie blood is by the blood picking it
up from the air in The lungs. The
champions blood was unable to
carry any more oxygen per- cubic
centimeter than that of other men.

The Senior Frat, of the Brigade
Boys club, gives out the advice
that Golden Glove ducats are going
good in advance sale. They point
out the possibility of ringside seats
being at a premium at the last
moment, due to the pre-fight de-
mand. This, of course, is not a
scare, but a reminder to get your
tickets well in advance. "
The High school gym will be ar
ranged to seat eight hundred fans
comfortably. That may seem like a
lot of seats at the moment, but If
all the fighters entered show up,
and most Of them do, tickets will be
in demand. Especially those close
enough to hear the leather when it
makes contact.

alkaline reserve to that of ordinary
men.
But the tank showed that their
blood was absorbing oxygen faster
than other men. They did this even
when their hearts were beating more
slowly.
The Explanation
The explanation is the runners
hearts pumped stronger with each
stroke. Their blood actually ran
faster, so that more Of it went
through the lungs in equal lengths
of time and was able to pick up
more oxygen.
The exhaustion limit of heart rate
was the same for the runners and
ordinary men-just under 200 heart
beats a minute.
There is mor to the oxygen story.
Scientists have known for years
that in addition to the oxygen from
the lungs, the body has another me.
chanism for use in an emergency.
This is breakdown of glycogen, in
the muscles themselves, into Tactic
acid.
The reaction allows the man to
borrow a limited amount of energy
which he can repay by taking in ex-
ira oxygen after work ceases.
Everyone who, after severe effort,
breathes hard, has called on this re.
serve to some extent. The heavy
breathing is due to accumulated
Tactic acid in the body and helps the
blood to take in extra oxygen TO
change most of the Tactic acid back
into glycogen.
This deficiency is called the oxv.
gen debt. A person gasping for
breath is simply paying this debt.
runners have to pay it exactly
like others, but their training prob.
ably makes them more efficient in
carrying on right to the end of a
race when the Tactic acid is high,

Score OF 8 To 5 Is Lowest Re.

League This Year

Playing a purely defensive game,
the First Presbyterian quintet was
nosed out by the Lutheran Mission
team 8 to 5, the lowest score record

Both teams were wild as the March

goal in the opening half, at which
time the Presbyterians led by the
baseballish score of 3 to 1. The Lu-
therans knotted the count in the
first minute of the third period on
a basket from the field and added
another near the close of the period
to lead by S to 3 as the Presbyter-
ians went scoreless during the quar-
ter. Another action shot and a free
toss in the fourth period gave the
Lutherans their winning margin as
the losers finally hit the ring for
their only goal of the contest.

With the newly-elected officers at
the helm, the internationally coun-
Gil presented plans for a great fra
ternity yer at its regular semi
monthly meeting Thursday night in
the Sigma Gamma sanctuary in the
Southern building.
Upon the suggestion of Sigma
Gamma Ernest Habenicht, the
council voted to sponsor a quarter
ly social event to which the mem-
bership Of all the ~fraternities hay
ing delegates in the body would be
invited. To this end, Jimmy Taylor,
president, appointed a social CON-
mittee of Hi-Kappa Frank Haines,
Gamma Ernest Habenicht, Clinton
Lockamy from the Alpha Omega,
and Wallace Moses, Phalanx.
This committee will meet on
Tuesday evening at 1880 in the
Sigma Gamma clubroom to make
preparations for a social in the
near future.
Hopes for a interfraternity bas-
ketball loop have faded and in its
stead a fraternity five. which will
be composed of players from all
the frats, and which will compete
against other Independent quints Of
this vicinity is expected to be form
ed.
To complete arrangements for
the organization of the team, a
committee of Jimmy Taylor, Jesse
Sellers, and J. D. Huffman has been
named and will gather OF Tuesday

A call has been issued for more
fraternity members to enroll in the

A fair attendance was recorded at
the first class meeting last Thurs
