Start Strong, Run Strong and Finish
Strong la Way to Run Shorter
Race Queries on Points
Raised to Be Answered.
BY WILLIAM L. HAYWARD,
Director ot Athletics of University of Ore
gon. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eu
gene, March 21. (Special.) Training
for the 220 Is in many respects similar
to the methods already cited for the
100-yard dash and the race itself is
classified as one of the sprints.
There are but few sprinters who are
able to run this race as it should be
run, that is. start strong, run strong
and finish strong. Preparation for the
event is hard and tedious and progress
should be made very slowly in order to
grain strength and still maintain speed.
Special attention should be given to
developing the arm swing which is
necessary to give the body the lift that
aids the runner in many ways while
under headway. The muscles of the
abdomen and back must be kept strong
in order that form may be present dur
ing the run. Many sprinters who are
able to run a very fast 100 are lost
when it comes to participating In the
longer event.. Notice the weak man
when he Is running a 220, first his head
begins to go back on his shoulders, his
body has a backward lean, and at last
his legs begin to pan the air as if they
were running away from the body. All
good form in running Is lost, for the
simple reason that the back, shoulders
and muscles of the abdomen cannot
stand the strain when called upon to
respond.
Uniform Development Needed.
A great many of our young athletes
pay too much attention to the develop
ment of the legs and point with pride
to the beautifully-molded muscles,
while the upper part of the body Is
neglected. Consider this: How far could
a strongly built, beautiful engine run
with a poor boiler? It stands to reason
that it would not go for any great
amount of time with the small supply
of steam the boiler could produce. Our
bodies are the same; we are no stronger
than our weakest part and the muscles
of the upper parts are the boilers which
furnish the energy to carry those of
the lower part, the legs.j over the
ground.
To develop these weaker parts then
shall be our aim and, after all. It Is
very simple. Lie on the back and raise
the legs slowly, allowing the feet to
descend to the starting point gradually
each time. This will tense the muscles
of the abdomen. Then after several
performances of leg-raising remain in
the same position and slowly raise the
body without lifting the feet from the
ground or floor; wh a pitting position
lias been reached do the same thing
over again until tired.
The next exercise is that of pivoting.
Lie on your stomach, extend the feet
and legs as straight out as possible and
then raise the head and legs at the
same time until you pivot upon the
stomach. This is a very healthy form
of exercise and one much used.
Ail-Round Kxerclsea Uoud.
Bag-punching, boxing, club-swinging
and deep breathing not only rievelop
the muscles referred to, but develop
the heart and lungs. These exercises
should be made a part of the every
day training. The daily training for
the race, assuming the sprinter has
mastered the form of starting, should
consist of 60 or 60-yard sprints several
times for the purpose of warming up
Then after this, o.ne or two runs of 3'JO
yards, the first 200 at three-quarter
speed and the balance at the sprinting
rate, must be taken. Rest a while. By
rest I do not mean to sit down oil tile
cold ground, but to keep moving slowly
about until your strength has returned.
If the sprinter finds that he still lacks
endurance, then take a 440 at one-half
speed and eliminate the 300 yard. Do
this every day until in condition and
after that pay attention to speed, doing
only short work.
If a meet Is to be held on Saturday
a rest of two days should be taken,
doing just the required amount of
work necessary in the warming-up
process on Thursday and Friday take
a sun bath and plan your race for the
next day.
A great many different methods are
used In running the 220 and of them all
I consider this the best: After a good
start, sail on the turn, using a good
swinging stride. Then, just before
reaching the straightaway, cut loose
for the tape, but try and keep form at
all times.
Advice for Runner Clvrn.
A runner should never look around
or even glance back at his opponents;
he must keep his eyes on the tape un
til it is reached and the race is over.
If you are not the winner, congratu
late the man who won and. above all,
offer no excuses for your defeat. Be a
good loser as well as a good winner.
After the race wrap up warm and lie
down for a rest before your next event.
Always insist upon being rubbed down
before going out on the track.
The 440-yard dash, or run. as It is
sometimes called, is the most difficult
of all races, for It requires both speed
and endurance. Although the dis
tance lies between the sprints and the
distance runs, one must have all the
qualifications .of the former, for the
race is practically a sprint all the way
through. In training the athlete
should work the same as is done in
the preparation for the sprints, but
he. must work harder. The Jogging
distances must be lengthened and the
speed work of longer duration than
that which is required for the sprints,
although the rate of speed is not quite
so great in the quarter-mile training.
The stride Is the all-important factor;
it should be a long, swinging one. with
care taken not to overreach. As all
440 races start near the turn, a fast
sprint is obtained at the start to insure
a good position on the back stretch.
Unless you are able to start fast you
will find yourself In a pocket on the
lirst turn, racing with men who are
fighting for what is termed "the pole."
After getting away right, swing into
a long, easy stride, taking care not to
attempt too much speed, because It
will be impossible to hold it and last
the race.
Never try to pass an opponent on the
turn, for the simple reason that the
radius of the lines outside the pole is
longer, consequently the runner runs
farther than the one who is fortunate
enough to hold the inside lane. In
t short, get a good position on the first
tturn, keep it well up the stretch and
Jwhen' about 75 yards from the tape
;come up well on the toes and sprint
with ail you have left.

Although the Columbia University
track and field meet will net be held
April IS, almost all the teams of the
Portland Interscholastic League are
well defined. Coach Callicrate, of
Columbia University, obtained a line on
his candidates by holding an inter
class meet last Thursday, but v.o "dark
horses" were found.
Coach Fabre, of Lincoln, has been
putting his men through a strenuous
workout all week and on account of the
warm weather the team is farther ad
vanced than at this time last season.
The Lincoln High School coach has not
entered a team in the cross-country
run slated for next Saturday because
of his inability to rind distance men.
The 'Washington High School contin
gent is under the supervision of John
C. Veatch and each day finds him out
with his squad on the Portland Field
at East Twelfth and East Davis streets.
Captain Raymond Staub. who won the
half-mile event in the local meet last
year, has charge of the coming cross
country run. Four schools will be
entered In the "overland" race, he says,
and the final selection of the course
will be made early this week.
Jefferson High School is having a
hard time developing a track team, as
many of the candidates are out for the
114 baseball team. Laymon Bom
Is the only pointwinner back at school
this Spring and much is expected of
the new material.
The squad of the Portland Academy
Is working indoors for a time, as the
baseball team is using the field.

.Reasons for Choice Given.
BY R, KRAUS.
Coach of Newberg High School.
NEWBERG, Or., March 21 (Spe
cial.) In selecting an all-star quintet
from the various high schools of the
Willamette Valley, the . writer ' has
thrown all ' prejudice 'and favoritism
aside and has permitted "class" alone
to be the deciding factor in selecting
this mythical five. An all-star' man
must have certain well defined prere
quisites to warrant his choice. All
critics are agreed that such a man
must be able to cage the ball for the
necesary points' to win, must be able
to pass the ball accurately and swiftly,
must get the ball away in the least
possible time and must be able to stand
the pace set In a gruelling game.
From the long list of forwards the
names of Butt and Miller loom up con
spicuously above the rest, because
these men are In a class by themselves.
Singleton,, of Roseburg; Beach, of
Corvallls; Atchison, of Co.ttage Grove;
Addison ,of Independence; Woods, of
Dallas, all deserve honorable mention
and will undoubtedly be heard from in
the future.
Center Choice Difficult. '
The choice of a center is a rather
ticklish proposition, there being so
many good men . to pick. Goacn. of
Dallas: Fegley. of Corvallis; Corpron,
of McMinnvllIe; Bissett, of Newberg;
Miller, of Forest Grove, and McKinney,
of Independence, are the "class" of the
Valley. Goach is a hard worker and'
passes well, but does not "cover"
enough. Fegley needs a little more ex
perience and age. Although Corpron
Is a good shot, he is given too much
to individual playing. Miller showed
"form" while he lived up to the regula
tions of the training season. Bissett
Is fast on his feet, aggressive, a good
player of the floor, but falls short of
the coveted honor because of his In
ability to shoot the basket. McKinney,
of Independence, has the ability to go
up Into the air after the ball on the
Prejudice Against Whisky
This whisky is pure; some people say its too
pure. It is distilled and sold as a medicinal liquor
good for sick people and good to keep people from
getting sick. No medicine ever discovered equals
whisky in its tonic effect witness the endorsements
of this liquor by over 40,000 physicians, the origi
nals of which are on file in our offices.
! ames
The National

"doctored" whisky. It is not recommended
for consumption as a beverage but as a body
stimulant. It is sold, principally by the better

- Fast Five Picked. "'
For the guard positions Harrington,
of Newberg, is given first choice be
cause of this boy's phenomenal record.
In the 16 games he has played his for
wards have scored but five baskets
over him, while he himself incidentally
grabbed 12. Calvin, of Corvallls, gets
the other position because he is not
only fast, but drops baskets In play.
Russell, of Newberg deserves mention,
as he is undoubtedly the fastest man in
the Valley but lacks the necessary skill
of caging the ball. Ireland, of Forest
Grove, would make a good guard were
he to pay more attention to his man
and the ball. Tlvmate, of Ashland, is
a fast little guard, but his weight and
experience count against htm. Math
eny, of Dallas, has the weight and size
but lets his man get away from him.
Rearden. of. Corvallls should with a
little more experience prove a valuable
man.
These men, if assembled together.
