Posiwar World To
Emphasize Body
Fitness Training
Bedenk Advocates
Recreation Program
. Physical fitness licenses will re
place draft registration cards and
ration books in the postwar world,
if the suggestion of F. Joseph
Bedenk, professor of physical edu
cation and athletic coach at the
College, is adopted.
Bedenk advocates compulsory
physical fitness training and .peri
odic medical examinations for all
children and adults. •
"The fact that many men have
found military discipline a severe
physical strain and that many
women are unable to stand up un
der the pressure of war work
proves the need for increased
physical fitness on a national
scale," Bedenk said. •
A national recreation program,
to be carried out through schools
and other community agencies,
should be included in our postwar
planning, Bedenk feels. He favors
the . "natural program" 7 —athletic
games and contests, hikes, fishing,
and hunting—as well as daily cal
isthenics.
"Most Americans seem to think
that playing 18 holes of golf or
several sets of tennis every week
endor so will keep them physical
ly fit," Bedenk said. "It's equally
foolish to assume you can eat six
meals one day, none at all the
next, and still derive the same
benefits. Exercise should be taken
regularly," he emphasized.
Bedenk pointed out that many
adults now suffering physical de
fects would be in'•perfect health if
they had taken periodic physical
examinations and regular exercise
when they were younger.

Between semesters when every
varsity man but Mike Sweeney,
Cochran, and Serago deserted the
Nittany team for a short vacation,
Frankie moved to 135 to fill
Cochran's vacancy created by his
advancement to the 150 pound
notch. In this higher bracket the
Eastern champ dropped a close
nod, and repeated with another
loss when he met Wisconsin's na
tional champ the next week at
Madison.
Food Follows Fight
Admitting that within 36 hours
after his title fight last week he
had put. on over ten pounds,
Frankie accredited the jump to the
fact "that I am eating pie like
mad now."
