800 ASTP MEN TAKE EFFICIENCY TESTS

In preparation for their entrance into the college physical training program, 800 Army Specialists are taking physical efficiency tests this week. After taking the eight event test, which is to give all ATS men this side of the river percentage ratings, ASTP men will join the regular conditioning classes.

The test consists of squat jumps, pushups, situps, pullups, a 100 yard "pick-a-back" run, "burpees," and a 300 yard spring. One hundred per cent will be given for 73 or more squat jumps, 85 situps, 18 pullups, 43 pushups, 13.75 "burpees," an 18 second speed in the hundred "pick-a-back," and 35 seconds or less in the 300 yard run.
