only Johnny Oravec of Willamette

Thiele, great German athletic
trainer, says Owens is capable of
jumping over a foot farther, . 27
feet.- 10 inches. Writes Thiele in
a newspaper article:
"Owens does not begin to use
his tremendous leaping power. He
sprints for the takeoff with only
a short 32 meter (104 feet) run.
If he could Increase his p re-Jump
run about! 20 feet, then take the
last strides to the takeoff board
in order to rise freely, he could
immediately jump 8.50 meters.
He shows : that he is not using
all ot his power when he -falls
forward after the landing. We
probably would see a miracle if
he would only train."
