thing for Success.

BT WILLIAM C. HATWAKD.
Director of Athletics. University of Oregon.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
April 11. (Special.) The mile run is
considered the blue ribbon event of the
distance races and one, if not hardest
of them all to run properly. The run
ner, like the halfmner, must have en
durance as well as speed. In order to
cultivate the stay that is necessary to
make a successful miler a great deal
of cross-country work must be under
gone during the Winter months, com
bined with gym work to develop the
nhoulders, back and abdominal mus
cles. The heart and lungs are being
developed while taking cross-country
work.
The mistake that many of the young
milers make is that of paying too much
attention to their leg development and
depending entirely upon them to gain
speed. This, the one important fac
tor of distance running; be sure that
your upper body is strong enough to
carry you through your race.
Do not be too anxious and expect to
be at your best the first year. Be
satisfied with a little improvement and
at the same time lay the foundation
for the future. It is very essential that
the beginner acquire an easy form of
running, for in a hard race like the
mile an easy stride is bound to be of
assistance. Every muscle must do its
share.
I-odr Stride of Advantage.
The knees do not need to be raised
as high as in the shorter races, but
the stride must be smoother, yet
springy and even. The longer the
stride the greater the advantage to the
lunner, but he must at all times re
member not to over stride in an at
tempt to gain ground. The runner must
run on the balls of his foot, not flat
footed; the body carried a little for
ward with the arms swinging easily. at
the sides. It is of great importance
to be a good judge of pace, by this 1
mean that the runner should be able to
do a quarter in a certain time so as to
know just how fast to run, and at the
same time to be able to finish strong.
The correct method is to run each
quarter as near as possible to the cal
culated time and this rests entirely
upon the condition, strength and speed
of the runner.
Johnny ConnefC. when, he made the
world s amateur record on August 28.
1895, ran the first 440 in 59 seconds
the half in-2.06. the three-quarters in
3.15 1-5 .and the mile in 4.15 3-5. This
record stood for 19 years and was
broken May 31, 1913. by John Paul
Jones, of Cornell. He did the first
quarter in 61 4-5. the half in 2.09 2-6.
the three-quarters in 3.16 1-5 and the
mile in 4.14 2-5. I mention these two
runners as a means of comparison.
ConnefC ran his fastest in the first quar
ter and his slowest in the third. Jones
made his last Quarter the fastest and
the second the slowest.
This is the part of mile running
where judging of pace plays an impor
tant role; one must know himself, his
strength and his ability, in order to
figure out which one of these quarters
to run the fastest. It Is the natural
thing to run strong when fresh and
thus make a good half mile, but always
bear in mind that it is a mile that you
are running and save your strength
to finish with.
School Boy la Advised.
For the schoolboy who wishes to do
the mile in 4.40 the following times
will tit most cases. Run the first quar
ter in 6G, the second in 70. the third in
T4 and the last in 70. Jn order to do
this the mller should be able to do the
half in 2.05 and then when called upon
to do 2.16 for the half the rest of the
race will be comparatively easy.
The question has often been asked:
What type of athlete is best adapted
for distance running? The majority
of distance men are rangy and light,
with the exception of J. Daly, who is
6 feet and 1 inch in height and weighs
184 pounds; Jones is 5 feet 10'. and
weighs 140; Tabor 5 feet 9 and wreighs
130; Kolehmainen. the great Finn ath
lete, is 5 feet 7 and weighs 135: Jack
son. England, who won the 15o0-meter
race at the last Olympic games, is 5
feet 7Vi inches and weighs onlv 128
pounds. The above figures will an
swer the question, although a larger
man will sometimes make a fast miler
if he has strength enough to carry his
weight. .
In training the runner must never
underestimate the value of sprinting,
but do a great deal of it along with
the regular distance work for endur
ance. It was in the first quarter of
the mile that Jones broke the world's
amateur record for the event. His feet
are placed straight down with the
track, an important fact developing the
long, loose stride. It would be impos
sible to use the swinging stride if the
toes were placed either in or out.
X Set Rule Laid Down.
The amount of work to do in pre
paring for this event depends a great
deal on the runner; there is no set rule
to be put down, as what would benefit
one would probably overwork or un
derwork another. I do not favor the
plan which some coaches follow, and
that is the giving the athletes the
same amount of training; it generally
overtrains several to benefit one. It
is much better to undertrain a man
than to work him so hard that he be
comes stale and has that ,-all-in" or
exhausted feeling. The difference be
tween exhausted and tired should be
understood. Training should be a
pleasure and a pastime and just as
soon as it becomes work a step should
be made, for at this point it is injuring
instead of helping tne athlete. The
work is tearing down the system
faster than nature can build it up.
The following rule will fit most
cases: Monday, run a mile with the
first 440 at good speed, jog the balance
and sprint the last 100. After a rest
. take a few short sprints of 60 or 70
yards and then finish with a slow S80.
Tuesday, a 660 at racing speed, jog an
other half mile and then a few short
sprints. . Wednesday, several slsort
sprints, jog a three-quarter mile and do
a fast 440. Thursday, a mile and a half
with the first 660 at racing speed, jog
balance, sprinting: the last 100 yards.
Friday, short sprints. 660 at mile pace,
rest and then jog a three-quarters. Sat
urday. If a meet is to be held, elimi
nate the 660 and three-quarters jog on
Friday.
Two-Mlle SiiKlcetion Made.
In the two-mile race and all those
above this distance, endurance becomes
the one essential and speed Is practi
cally of no importance. The same
stride and arm swing are used in this
race as in the mile, but as it is too
great a distance for the schoolboy to
run and the training too hard. I am in
favor of eliminating it from the list of
events. In most cases the man who
runs the mile enters the two-mile also,
and thus the burden is always thrust
upon the already tired athlete. How
ever, there would be no objection to
the schoolboy doing this work as a
means of preliminary training.
My next article will deal with shot-
iiuiung and dlscus-throv.ing.

Probably the one quality that a man's proudest
of is his good judgment. Naturally he wants his clothes
to reflect that characteristic in every particular clothes
that will appeal to his and other men's ideas of what's fitting and

That is why you will find so many men of this caliber doing their
Spring clothes buying at this Live Store. The clothes we're' show

ment and selected with good judgment
KUPPENHEIMER CLOTHES
In fact, a good many of our busy customers who haven't the time to
post themselves in the constant changes of men's fashions, relv almost
entirely upon our good judgment in the selection of their wardrobes.
The fact that they do this is only another proof of their good judg
ment. Spring suits at prices that good judgment approves, $20 to $35.
Half-Minute

The other day one of
our customers remarked
that, before coming here,
he had looked all over
town, and that we had the
greatest variety of new
Spring patterns and the
best assortment of styles
of any store in Portland.
We're inclined to believe
this customer is right.
Certainly we've taken a

Taifs execution of original dives is
but one of the points which would
win favor for him. His maneuvering
in the more simpler ones also was
praiseworthy. -
Norman Ross, new 100, 220 and 600
yard champion. Is another who will be
sent south uy the Winged M.
While the Northwest has no official
record for the 500-yarjl swim, that is,
previous to Ross' mark Friday ntgrht.
there is little doubt that lie did break
any comparative distance records. A
generous estimate of his time between
the 440 and the 600-yard would Indi
cate that he did the 440 in about rive
seconds better than the previous rec
ord. Ross also clipped his own mark for
the 20-yard swim. He established a
mark of 3:01 last year and this year
he did the distance in a fraction over
2:41. Ross is now fully grown, and
Jack Cody thinks he still is far from
the zenith. Each swim shows him
faster, and. though he is somewhat
slower than the California swimmers,
by the time 1915 gets here Portland
may have a Coast champion.
Frank Kiernan. the winner of the
100-yard junior race, is a new devel
opment and another who bears watch

with his event was startling. Kiernan
Is young and it is expected that In a
