The Universal Weight Machine was bought to improve the football program. They needed to build up their strength, and with this they have been able to work more efficiently than with only one barbells. It has been here for two months and has been used everyday. In this short time more work :has been done in less time in a safer manner than probably what hbs been done in previous years altogeth er. The whole team can get a work-out in 50 minutes or less. This can work as many as 18 people at one time, two to a station, while last year only six people,could work out at a time. The weight machine has eight stations and in addition to this, there is a “real runner”. This is a machine used to build up the legs by running. , The two stations are the chest press and the leg press. Next, are the lat station, which builds up your back, and the curl station that builds up the front of your arm. There is a shoulder press, chin-up bar and hip flexer. Last is the dip bar which builds up muscles in the back of the arms and shoulders. The amount of weight a person wants to handle is easily con trolled by just moving a pin. No spotter is needed because the machine is constructed to control the weight. The machine cost $ 3,6O1O 1 . It is being paid for by gate money collected at football and basket ball games. Also by generous contributions from the public. 'The team, coaches and others involved give a special thanks tq Joe Fendley Sr. for all his time and effort in acquiring do nations.
