Non-Atlas Freshmen Retake Muscle Test

Thirty Freshmen have been invited to participate in a return engagement of the step test for physical efficiency that they failed to pass six weeks ago, Normand W. Fradd, assistant director of Physical Training, announced yesterday.

Part of a novel experiment by Fradd to find out if elective athletics will compare with assigned calisthenics for step test flunkees, the group of 30 will retake the test on Monday in the Indoor Athletic Building.

Fradd said that normally after the six-week period of compulsory calisthenics or physical activity, 85 percent of the men who failed originally pass the five-minute, up-and-down stepping grind. He is interested in making a comparison of the usual results of the summer's six-week period where the men could choose any athletic medium they desired.
