BY WILLIAM L. HAYWARD.
Director of athletics at the University of
Oregon.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
March 28. (Special.) A great deal can
bo said about the 880. or middle dis
tance race, as It is known generally.
The qualifications, the stride, the form
and method of training for the race
will be discussed in this article.
The greatest runners for this dis
tance have been strongly built men
such as Fitzpatrick, who held the
world's record in this event until
Kmilio Lunghi, of Italy, broke it again
-when he ran the distance in 1:52 4-5
at Montreal in 1909. Melvin Sheppard,
known as "Peerless Mel"; Haff, of
Michigan; Paul Jones, of Cornell, and
Halpin, of Boston Amateur Athletic,
could all do the half mile in 1:55 or
better. These men stand from 5 feet
10 inches in height to 6 feet, and
weigh between 145 and 155 pounds. On
the other hand. Ted Meredith, who now
holds the world's record, 1:52 1-5. made
at the Olympic games last year, is of
stock build. Klviat, although a miler,
is built like Meredith and is able to
annex the distance in 1:54.
Of the two types of men. everything
equal, I would prefer the tall, rangy
runner who has a long, loose, swing
ing stride. Less energy is used with
the same results in his case than in
that of the short, sprinting half miler.
Equal Division Plan.
Some runners who have endurance
try as near as possible to divide the
time of each 440 of the half as near as
possible and thereby plug through,
having no sprint left at the finish. The
first 440 should be run fast on natural
speed and then endurance, condition
and form will be the powers that will
enable the runner to run the lust lap
strong and finish with a good, stiff
sprint. C. J. Fitzpatrick ran his first
440 in 53 2-5 at the time he established
his world's record. Lunghi ran 53 4-5
for the first and 59 flat for the last;
Meredith was timed for 53 2-5 and 58
1-5, respectively, in his two laps. All
of these men were breaking previous
world's records in their races when
the time cited was taken. :
With the change from the 440 to the
880-yard run, speed becomes of less im
portance and endurance a necessity. Of
course a first-class half-miler, a man
who can travel the distance in better
than two minutes, has a fair amount of
speed; but endurance must be devel
oped at any cost. Cross-country run
ning combined with gym work during
the Winter months is the best prepara
tion for the- development of the upper
part of the body.
It is very important that strict at
tention be given to good form and
striding. The stride should be a loose
swinging one from the hip, with care
taken not to lift the feet too high from
behind. By raising the feet high on
the pick-up. too much energy is used
uselessly and this develops a slow
style of running. The knees should be
carried fairly high and reaching out,
with the body leaning slightly forward,
also the arms swing loosely at the
hips. Care must be taken when de
veloping a long stride not to over
reach: the stride must be natural, com
fortable and one that may be relied
upon, when called, to sprint.
Good Pace Judge Xeeded.
It is very essential that the athlete
be a good Judge of pace so that he will
be able to run the first 440 or 600
yards in a certain time and yet have
the necessary sprint left to win his
race. After the endurance work is well
under way I would advise the runner
to keep an eye out for fast 440 train
ing; he should make it a point to get
his time down for this event to 52 sec
onds. This will enable him to have
things his own way when he is called
upon to do the first quarter of the half
in 55 or 56 seconds. On the other hand,
if he only is able to do 54 and expects
to make the first lap in 56 he will find
himself pretty well fagged out at the
end of 600 yards and no doubt running
straight up in the air.
Weekly work for all should be: Mon
day, an easy three-quarter pace half
and some short sprints; Tuesday, a
fairly strong half, sprinting the last
75 yards, follow this up with a few
sprints; Wednesday, some Jogging and
a good 440: Thursday, a fair 600; Fri
day, an ef.sy 1000, and Saturday, a good
440 and some sprints. Later in the
season as the condition improves the
work should be harder and the dis
tances run increased. An occasional
440 for time Is advisable because this
will enable the runner to determine
whether or not he is becoming deficient
In speed or endurance.
I would advise that the schoolboy
run the first 440 of the 880 within five
seconds of his best time for that event;
for example, if he is able to do 53 sec
onds, he should run his first lap in 58;
this will enable him to keep in reserve
strength for a good finish.
A great many athletes differ; and
each man should study himself In order
to make the best of his work. Once
that you have started training keep it
up: do not stop for rain or mud. Just
put on a few extra clothes and get out
on the track and work hard. Be reg
ular In your habits; that is. have a
regular, time set for your meals and
training. After you are in good shape,
a little sprinting and some good quar
ters should keep you on edge. Do
your fine work on Thursday before a
paiuroay meet and remember when
tired a change of pace is restful.
My next article will deal with the
mile. In conclusion, I will say to all
athletes not clear on these points, as
well as on others that occur to them,
I am willing to answer all personal
letters, as there has been an athletic
question department established in
connection with collegiate athletics.

Runners Share Honors.
MISTAKE CAUSES DECISION
Coach Veatch's Team AVins First
Honors in Portland Interscho
lastic Cross-Country Run With
Total of 23 1-2 Points.
Because of a misunderstanding as to
the finish line, first place in the Port
land Interscholastio. League cross
country run held yesterday resulted in
a tie between Hiram Humnhrev. of
Washington High, and Harold Demmon.
of Jefferson High, according to the
Judges. The course was a little more
than a mile and a half and the distance
was covered in 9 minutes, 10 2-5 seconds
by the first two runners.
Coach Veatch's Washington High
team won first honors, with 23 V- points:
Jefferson High was second, with 31 H
points, and the Columbia University
finished third, with 6a points. Each
school entered a team of five men and
the team registering the lowest num
ber of points was. declared winner.
First place brought one point; second
place, two; third, three, and so on until
every entry had crossed the line.
The score of each school was deter
mined by the sum of points made by
its representative. The other Wash
ington runners finished third, fourth.
seventh and eighth for the total of
3'j.
Contest Is Interesting.
The fight for first place in the race
was one of the most interesting con
tests ever seen in the local league.
Humphrey led for the last half mile,
with Demmon and Staub, of Washing
ton, trailing right along. When the
two leaders came over the hill from
Davis street for the Portland Field
both were running hard, but when they
struck the track for the last 200 yards
the race of the day was depicted.
Humphrey had the lead and, try as he
might, Demmon could not pass the
speedy little Washingtonian, but he
stayed right beside him up until 20
feet from the finish. The customary
finish line had been moved back about
five yards, and when Demmon saw
that he had crossed the original line
he ran out to the side and Humphrey
ran on to the tape.
Because be put up such a race and
was within grasp of winning the race
when he dropped out. the judges gave
Demmon a tie with Humphrey for first
place.
Race Is Duplicated.
.Raymond Staub, of Washington, had
It all his own way for third, but the
race for fourth and fifth places was a
duplicate of the fight for first. Spriggs,
of Washington, and Thurman, of Jef
ferson, fought it out. Spriggs finally
winning by barely a yard.
Coach Veatch, of Washington, acted
as starter. W. A. Fenstermacher, Coach
Barry Eastham, of Jefferson: Jimmie
Richardson and Hopkin Jenkins were
judges. Pete Grant and Coach Cam
era te acted as timers.
Following is the order in which the
runners finished: Hiram Humphrey,
Washington, and Demmon, Jefferson,
tied for first; Raymond Staub, Wash

I REED BALL SESOX TO OPEN'
Opening Game ut College Will Be
Week From Wednesday.
The baseball season at Reed College
will begin a week from next Wednes
day, and two games will be played
each week until the close of college
in June. Teams will be entered by
the faculty, juniors, sophomores and
freshmen, each team playing six games.
The series promises to be the most ln
teresting played at the college.
Last year the juniors won the title,
but in a game last Fall they were de
feated by the faculty, due largely to
the addition to the faculty team of
Dr. Compton, a former Wooster Uni
versity star. The long suit of the fac
ulty, though, is their ability to pole
cut the long hits In the pinches.
The schedule is as follows:
April 8, freshmen vs. sophomores;
April 10, faculty vs. juniors; April 15
sophomores vs. juniors; April 16, fresh

CAMBRIDGE GREW WINS
OXFORD ROWERS LOSE ANMAL
RACE OX THAMES.
Platform With 150 Spectators Falls
and 14 Are Injured Losers Lead
to Stretch of Contest.
LONDON, March 28. The Cambrid;
University crew won easily today from
Oxford in the annual eight-oared race
from Putney to Mort-Lake-on-the-
Thames.
A platform on which 150 spectators
were standing collapsed during the
race and all were thrown into the hold
of a barge. Fourteen persons were
badly Injured.
The distance four and a quarter
miles was covered in the fast time of
20 minutes 23 seconds. Cambridge
crossed the line four and a half lengths
in the lead.
The Cambridge crew had been the
favorite throughout the training sea
son. Cambridge won the toss for position
and chose the Surrey side of the river.
The oars of the Oxford crew were
the first to grip the water, but the
longer stroke of the Light Blues Im
mediately gave them the lead. After
this there was no doubt as to the re
sult. When the crews shot through Ham
mersmith bridge the half-way mark
Cambridge had a lead of two lengths.
This was maintained until the boats
approached Barnes' bridge, where the
leaders spurted and took another
length.
A gallant effort was then made by
the Dark Blues, and the gap between
the boats was momentarily lessened.
G. E. Tower, the Cambridge stroke,
made a final call on his men as they
approached the finish, and Cambridge
still further widened the gap between
the shells. The weather was ideal.

BT HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN E'RANCISCO. Cat, March 28.
The month of April will be one ot the
busiest In the calendar so far as San
Francisco fight fans are concerned.
Promoter Jimmy Coffroth has two con
tests of importance to be staged and
for the next few months he will fol
low them up with others of note. On
Friday night Coffroth will handle a
middleweight bout between Jimmy
Clabby and Fighting Billy Murray, of
Sacramento. He will follow that on
the Friday night two weeks later by a
lightweight . championship card In
which Willie Ritchie and Harlem
Tommy Murphy will be the attraction.
Coffroth. who Just returned the fore
part of this week from a New - York
trip, brings word that he has other
contests in view that will keep him
quite busy. He is also authority for
the story that a move is under way to
introduce in California a state boxing
commission that will regulate the
game here a's it is regulated in New
York, Wisconsin and other states.
Whether or not the scheme will include
10-round bouts Coffroth refused to say,
but the chances are that the scheme is
to get around the proposed law that
would entirely , bar boxing from Cali
fornia.
Coffroth declares that personally he
will take no interest in the move look
ing toward a boxing commission as
tha might appear entirely too mer
cenary. At the same time, he says
that people who are interested in the
welfare of the game will suggest to
the Legislature that something of the
sort be undertaken. The New York
State Boxing Commission, with which
Coffroth had the pleasure of meeting.
declared that it would be glad to wel
come the Golden West into the fold.
Sunshine Jim has secured copies of the
laws in the various states and the
chances are that he will take an in
direct if not a lively interest in what
is going on.
Wolgnst Xot Thought Ready.
In addition to other matches already
staged, Coffroth says he is figuring on
the future. He has received assurances
that he can get George Chip to come
to the Coast and can match him with
the winner of the Clabby-Murray fight.
He likewise Is looking ahead to the
possible use of Johnny Kilbane and
further than that has made a proposi
tion to Ad Wolgast. Coffroth doesn't
agree witn the Chicago experts tnat
Wolgast is ripe for another Ritchie
match, but has suggested to Tom Jones
that the Dutchman might be sent
against Freddy Welsh and in the
event of winning would later be given
a crack at Ritchie.
"I had a long chat with Rltehio in
Chicago," said Coffroth. "The Cali
fornian stands well in New York and
Chicago as a result of his performances,
and If he wins over Tommy Murphy, he
figures on a prolonged Eastern tour
that will Include a number of short
round bouts, as well as theatrical work.
So, If he wins, I don't suppose that
we will be able to stage a lightweight
championship contest for some time
to come.
"Wolgast Is well thought of in the
Middle West, and Tom Jones is highly
enthusiastic but I do not believe it
would be wise from the standpoint of
a promoter to attempt to match him
with the title-holder right off the reel.
I would prefer to send him against
some one like Welsh, and If he can
show his worth, then there will be
plenty of time to talk of a match with
Ritchie."
Ritchie to Train for Murphy.
Coffroth says that Ritchie will reach
San Francisco not later than April 4,
and will go into Immediate training
for Murphy. Ritchie, in fact, is already
doing some light training, and the the
atrical work in Chicago and Detroit is
more or less a means of getting into
condition, so that his friends will have
no occasion to worry over the way he
shapes up. Tommy Murphy and Jim
Buckley will also be due about the
same time. Although it was published
in New York that Murphy would take
on a sort of -test match with Johnny
Lore in Brooklyn,: Buckley telegraphed
an indignant denial the other day, and
insisted that Murphy would take on
no other lightweight' than the Cali
fornlan, who is regarded as the king
pin of the division.
For the Fourth of July Coffroth ex
pects to stage a heavyweight mill, with
Gunboat Smith and Jess Willard as
the contestants. . Willard, it is said, has
put on no small amount of weight since
last he was seen in action in San Fran
cisco. He. certainly made the Gunner
extend himself when they boxed their
20-round session, and a lot of local
fans think that Willard will be re
turned the -winner when- they clash
again.
Smith is shy on Eastern engage
ments since opponents are lacking and
that is doubtless one of the chief rea
sons why Buckley has accepted terms.
Jim Buckley still insists, however, that
Tom Jones will have to make good on
the guarantee-he has promised Smith
before the Gunner , will stir one step
away from New York.
McGoorty About to Return.
Eddie McGoorty likely will return
from Australia shortly and- when he
does come through San Francisco Cof
froth and the other promoters will be
prepared to make him some tempting
offers in order to clear, up the situa
tion as to who's who in that branch
of the boxing game. McGoorty has to
be reckdned with, no matter what the
other middleweights may have to say.
The public realizes that fact and nat
urally the promoters are keen in their
own appreciation.
A personal letter that was received
from Ritchie this last week was to the
effect that had Wolgast been willing
to fight Instead of clinching so much,
the Dutchman would have been
knocked out for keeps. Willie also
goes into detail In regard, to the punch
with which he floored Wolgast. Nat
urally he denies that It was a foul
punch, but declares that it was a solar
plexus blow. If it had been a little
more to one side Wolsast never would
have been on his feet within the time
limit. Ritchie's share of the receipts
amounted to $15,902, which is a fair
amount of money for that short dis
tance. It is little surprise that Willie
his visions of returning to the East
as soon as the opportunity affords.
That the teaching of English in the hlsh
school needs thorough reorganization to
bring it into touch with modern social and
Industrial demands is frankly stated by
Professor James P. Hoilo, of the Chicago
Teachers' College.

Northwest Congress Expected
to Be Best Ever on Coast.
HOPES SEEM TOO SMALL
Cities Counted On to Send One or
Two Teams to Portland Announce
Tliey Will Have Four or
Five at Least.
The Portland men who organized
and pushed the staging of the North
west Bowling Congress tournament to
be held on the Oregon Alleys next
week, are now beginning to push their
hats back, put their feet on the desks
and watch the results of their efforts.
The results appear to be gratifying.
The Portland Tournament Associa
tion confidently expects the Portland
Congress to be one of the greatest the
Pacific Coast has ever held. That this
is not an extravagant hope, the bowl
ers say, is born out by the many teams
which are assured the Congress.
Spokane, for example, was estimated
as In line for two teams, most con
servatlvely speaking. Spokane was
quite insulted to think that Portland
gave It credit for but two 'teams. The
Inland Kmpire men say they will have
at least five teams and maybe six.
. . Vancouver to Send Four.
A letter from Barney Goss, president
of the Northwest Congress, says Van
couver. B. C. expects to have four
teams entered. These men have made
some good marks In the bowling on
the Vancouver alleys, and President
Goss is not at all sure but that the
teams from his city will take away
good portion of the bowling fees.
Calgary, Alberta, will have a team
here. This will have three men from
the Canadian City and two to be taken
on at Seattle or Vancouver. The men
are bowlers of the consistent kind.
The Seattle teams are still to be
heard from. Many of the towns from
the Northwest have sent in word that
they will ber here from April 6 to 11
but their names are not put on the
books until the entrance fee Is sent
to the secretary.
Nevertheless, at this date. Secretary
Ball has a good sized roll and is sure
that before the week is over the tourn
ament will have formidable propor
tions. Doubles and Singles Few.
The doubles and singles are also
open to entry. These events have as
yet not been signed for by many local
men. Seattle has several In each of
the minor events.

ABTCRDEKX IXVITKS WATTELKT;
Manager of Victoria to Hold Job if
Team Is Transferred.
ABERDEEN, Wash.. March 2S. Spe-''
cial.) Following an enthusiastic meet
ing today of promoters of the propo- '
sition to buy the Victoria franchise In '
the Northwestern Baseball Leaguu and '
transfer !t to Grays Harbor, a letter
was forwarded to L. A. Wattelet. man
ager and parf owner of the Victoria:
club, to come to Aberdeen and discuss '
negotiations for the purchase. This
move was decided on rather than the :
plan previously formulated of sending'
a committee to Victoria to carry on
the transaction. '
Another reason for asking Wattelet -to
come here was the fact that pro
moters of the transfer have decided to ;
offer Wattelet the management of the
team and a half intrest in the club. It'
was felt that with this offer in mind,'
he would want to size up the situa-'
tlon on the harbor, and that he would '
have to come here before he would'
consider the sale. He is expected to
arrive tomorrow or Monday.
It is probable that Owner McConnell.'
Wattelet's partner, will accompany the
Victoria manager to the harbor.
If Wattelet does not desire to remain1
in baseball and is determined to sell
all his stock, local fans will purchase'
the Victoria team and franchise out- '
right.
