A red-haired. freckle-f faced 12-
year-old-short for his age but COM
pact-won 20 out Of a possible 30
points yesterday in strength test"
at Rosedale Playground, which
makes him tops in phyical fitness
among the District playground con-
tenders.
Melvin Reds" Quade was one of
three winners in the age groups
competing in the finals of the
strength test the competitive
phase of the District Recreation De-
partments S Victory Builders program
The ether two winners were Arnold
Scribner, 10, who made 231s points,
and John Kovtsandreas, Is, who
won 10 points among the competitors
In their age groups.
Just About Exhausted.
The "pushups' which climaxed
the test were a good example OF
Reds at work-or play. AS a play
ground official counted, boy after
boy in Reds age group dropped out
Reds freckled face grew redder but
he kept on. After his last COM
petitor fell exhausted, Reds had to
be lifted up. He confessed afterward,
as he rubbed his sore arms, that he
knew he had only about two push
ups left in him but he was going to
60 on at least one longer than the
other boy.
There's no secret to his physical
fltnecs. He simply plays hard every
day, eats regularly and sleeps IL
hours a night. In addition to his
three meals, ne takes a snack" be-
fore tedtime-corn fakes and a few
sandwiches. He weighs 80 pounds,
all muscle.
He's product of Langdon play
grounds, where he pitches softball,
shoots marbles, plays basket ball,
and was the first to complete his
Victory Builders achievement test.
When the men his fathers age get
off from work, he pitches on their
ball team, too, with his father
catching
He's Baseball Man.
When he's not at the playground,
he plays baseball in the Boys Club
League, plays catch" with his faith
er or runs up to neighbors back
yard to play baseball there. In the
winter, he switches to football just
to keep in practice because he's real
