pass out marks by using the test

over the 16 years of study Holt
has developed a series of AZ tests
designed to measure achievement,
of which he used 20 this year. Ones
used are forward passing test, push

will use in trying for his doctors

gree several years ago after making
a study of football injuries in Colo

The Ell Centro coach gained ma
tional prominence in 1888 and 1899
when he wrote articles for athletic

Coach Raleigh Holt of Ell Centro
high school figured out who was
the best all-around athlete in his
school Friday and he did it by add
ing up a small column of figures
seemingly an easy job.
But behind this simple addition
is story of work, a job that Holt
has been engaged in for 16 years
and has not yet completed. In 1926
when he was coaching at the high
school IN Grand Junction, Colorado,
Holt began his work en- a revolu-
tionary system which would enable
him to determine possibilities of Ger
tain boys by giving them certain
tests.
The tests are designed for four
things:
!. Balance
Q. Coordination
3. Strength
q. Accuracy
During the l6 years Holt has test
ed over 1900 boys and carefully
jotted down the results. From these
he is working out a median in the
various tests and is able to de-
termine a students athletic worth
by the way he scores.
Holt has much faith in the pro-
cedure and says that he can tell
who will become the best athletes
in school by this method while they
are still freshmen.
DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAM
ITS a diagnostic program that
will show the student Of physical
education what he is weakest in
and should work on" Holt said. IT
the boy is below the average in the
number Of push ups he can do or
the number of times he can chin
himself that is what he should con-
centrate on doing"
Much Of the haphazardness that
prevails i'm the system of grading

American league. BY winning IL
of their last Is games the Browns
have separated themselves from the

ators and Athletics.
Although they still are in fifth
place, the Browns are only half a
game behind the fourth-place Red
Sox who once more are having
pitchers cramps. Luke Sewell has
done a remarkable job with the
Browns, considering that he lost
regular shortstop Johnny Berardino,
outfielder Joe Grace and a couple
of others to the armed forces.
STEPHENS CLASSY
The league is raving about rookie
shortstop Vernon Stephens, who is
not only a classy fielder but has
considera3le power. Jimmy Dykes,
White SoX pilot, rates Stephens over
the Red Sox'S highly-touted rookie
shorstop Johnny Pesky.
The Browns got off on the right
foot in the second eastern invasion
by winning the opening series from
Washington, taking the odd game

The boiler, built into the side of a
dirt bank and now buried under a
concrete roadway on the Gallinger
grounds, represents approximately
10000 pounds of scrap iron, but the
demolition cost may run so high as
to make the operation impracticable
Paul A. Chalupsky, District property
survey officer, said.
But as city government scrap ex-
perts argue the merits of this par
ticular project, approximately 10000
pounds of available scrap at Gal
linger is being readied for the Unit
ed States war machine as fast as
facilities become available to handle
the work.
Pipe in Heating Tunnel.
Most of this is concentrated in a
tunnel which once connected the old
heating plant with tn. main hospital
building. The tunnel contains 1900
linear feet of 12-inch wrought iron
pipe, weighing approximately 10000
pounds.
OF this total, about 300 feet, or
between $1,000 and 10000 pounds,
already have been dismantled to
make way for new construction prof.
ects on the grounds.
The mattress end bed linen steri-
lizer, which has now been replaced
by more modern plant, will yield
approximately 10000 pounds of scrap
metal, according to Mr.. Chalupsky.
DR.. Edgar A. Bocock, superin-
tendent of Gallinger, and B. A.
Snyder, the hospitals chief engi-
neer, surveyed the premises yester-
day, pointing out for Star photog-
rapher and reporter the abundant
accumulation OF scrap.
The mattress sterilizer, DR.. Boccok
explained, is located near the old
smallpox unit now no longer in use
for the purpose for which it was
originally intended.
May Start Soon for Mills.
The sizable collection of pipe anc
! the sterilizer probably will start theil
| journey to the steel mills next week
Mr.. Chalupsky said. Possibility OF
getting the boiler is still being
studied, he added.
One approach to the solving OF
this problem, it was pointed out
may be in combining the boiler dis
mantling project, where labor cost.
would eat heavily into money real
lied in the sale of the scrap, with a
more profitable job, where greater
return would balance the loss, il
any, on the boiler.
