Feel out of shape? Looking for a way i to improve your physical fitness? $ Then talk to Bill Bowerman, track coach jp at the University of Oregon. m He returned to the campus last week K after nearly a month in New Zealand, and he 1 left three inches of his waistline there (but ii nary a pound). A Bowerman's not only eager to tell how 3 he did it, he'd like to get the same system 1 started over here. gj It's called "Jogging", a term for a physi L cal-fitness-through-running movement which ; has mushroomed in New Zealand during the y past year. f Jogging, of course, is running perhaps a B dog trot or slightly faster pace. y "This is not new," Bowerman says, point p lng out that there are currently a number of R men in Eugene who stay in shape by running fi several miles a day. But the New Zealand version includes p some innovations. i ' Rather than running on a purely Indi vidual basis, the joggers belong to clubs, with a definite meeting time and place at a city park, for example on certain days. Then, instead of running around a track, they jog off into the nearby hills. ' If a jogger gets tired, he walks. "You j don't strain , . . you do it within your own i capability," says Bowerman. Father of New Zealand's "jogger" move i ment is Arthur Lydiard, onetime Kiwi mara i thon-champlon-turned-track-coach whose pu pils include such well-known runners as Mur ray Halberg, Peter Snell, Jim Bailey and John Davies. While Bowerman calls the 47-year-old Lydiard the outstanding coach of runners in the world, the YVebfoots coach also con- ; tends that Lydiuid'a "greatest contribution to :' New Zealand is the physical fitness he's giv ing to people over 40." Lydiard himself practiced jogging for years.' But prior to leaving for a series of track meets in Europe last year, he was f asked to make a tape recording about the program. Age of No Importance One of the questions asked: "Would people over 50 who have led sedentary lives be able to do this?" Lydiard's unequivocal answer: "Yes." When Lydiard returned to New Zealand six months later, he discovered the tape recording had been broadcast by radio sta tions throughout the country and he was swamped with requests to help set up jogging programs. Since then, says Bowerman, jogging clubs I have been established throughout New Zea i land. Joggers number in the thousands. ; "I was in 12 towns and every one had a jogger's club," he said. 1 Most of the joggers are 40 and older, but j children also come out to run with them. ! Some women do it, too. Bowerman was introduced to jogging, i Kiwi-style, when he went to Now Zealand to ! participate in several track clinics with Lydiard (and, unofficially, to coach Oregon's touring four-mile relay team). j The two track coaches met with a jogger club in an Auckland park at 9 o'clock, on a Sunday morning and found 100 persons there, ready for a jog up One Pine Moun- tain. A 74-year-old New Zealander named Andrew Steedman whom Bowerman called I a bundle of "sinew and steel" led off. "Why, he could have run my legs off," Bowerman said. " ' I Another of the joggers was 58 years old, and had entered a marathon race. "They all want to race," Bowerman said, "but that's j not what it's for. It's for physical fitness." One of Lydiard's cardinal rules of train- ing is: "Train, but don't strain." Another Lydiard principle: "Training f must be done in the hills. "Arthur says 'The J hills will always find you out,'" Bowerman grinned. "When I first went up a hill, I didn't think I would make it. But after two weeks, it was easy." j Still another doctrine: Jog a minimum of i, two miles a day. Some do more. "The secret is to do it within your own it ability ... It has to be regular, and you i have to keep pushing yourself," Bowerman says. . , . $ As for New Zealand's joggers, "many K ... are fit beyond belief," he adds. The New Zealand medical people are f. making a comprehensive study of the ef fects of jogging, Bowerman says, and "so far, they are prepared to say it's sensational for fitness." Can Drink, Smoke, Eat f Preliminary findings of one study, he reports, show that the jogger's pulse rate & drops within three weeks, indicating gen- cral improvement in the body's cardio-vascu- y lar system; there is a drop, less dramatic, in g the respiratory rate; the "recovery rate" after exercise is increased tremendously; and the cholesterol content of the blood is great- ly reduced. ' f "They say there is very little weight loss," Bowerman says, "and they can drink, smoke , or cat as they want. g "One doctor told me there is an amazing If difference in your feeling of well-being. He said he used to wake up in the morning t feeling like a bear, but now he gets up and I wants to know what's going on in the world," Bowerman continues. Bowerman himself is 52 but looks to be In his forties. "I feel like it now," he grins. "I haven't felt as good in ten years." I He thinks that Lydiard, either by acci- dent or design, hit upon the factor that I made jogging zoom in popularity the clubs ; and the varied terrain on which the jogging i is done. It's more enjoyable, he believes, J because a jogger can take advantage of the scenery instead of just jogging around a I track. Besides that, there's the congeniality of being with other joggers. "You always know there will be someone there," he says. . Bowerman, who has been a veritable i apostle of jogging in talking with friends since his return, is hoping to start a joggers' f club here. I "It's easy ... it really is easy," he says, j? "All you need are shoes and shorts and g you're in business." , 1 Blades, S.F.

CAN OPENER Volena Swofford, 182 Kays Kennedy, 307, (.fi La ar Open Stars T Now Entered At Portland Settlement of Dispute Beneficial to Oregon Indoor Track Meet . What at one time looked like a meet matching only top col legiate stars now includes some of the nation's top open com petitors. Leading open stars were in the fold Monday for the 3rd an nual Oregon Invitational Indoor track and field meet this Satur day night at Portland's Memo rial Coliseum. Inclusion of the athletes fol lows on the heels of settlement in the dispute between the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and the United States Track & Field Federation (USTFF). If no agreement had been reached, the meet would have been solely collegiate under USTFF sanction. Meet director Bob Newland said reconfirmations had been received from: Sub-four-minute milcr Jim I Grellc, former Oregon star now running for the Los Angeles Track Club, in the 1,000 yards against such collegians as Jim Dupree of Southern Illinois and Don Bertoia of Washington State. Broad-jumper Ralph Bos ton, first man ever to leap 27 feet. He will tangle with ex Oregon State star Darrell Horn, Oregon's Mel Renfro and Stan ford's Dan Moore. Parry O'Brien, winner of the shot put in the Los Angeles indoor meet Saturday night and a great favorite with Oregon track fans. Sub-four-minute milcr Dy rol Burleson, ex-Oregon star, who will team up with George Larson, Ray Van Aston and Sig Ohlemann on the Emerald Em pire Athletic Assn. (EEAA) two-mile relay team. Ron Morris, ex-USC star, a 16-foot pole vaulter who won the event in the meet last year. Newland said he still was looking for another miler to round out a field that already includes such stars as Ben Tucker of San Jose, Dave Deub- ner of Stanford and Oregon ace Viv Reeve and Archie San Ro man!. Dennis Johnson, formerly of San Jose State, will be featured in the sprint field. River Road Third Eugene 'Y' Swim Team Wins Meet The Eugene "Y" swimming team scored 367 points to win a triangular swim meet Sunday with Portland's Aero Club and the River Road Swim Club at River Road pool. The young swimmers from Central YM-YWCA won 25 first, 26 second and nine third places in the meet. Aero Club swim mers were second with S is points and River Road third with 143 points. Christie Witliff of River Road set a new Columbia Basin Swim League record in the 9-10 girls 50-yard backstroke with a time The perennial champion Bos ton Celtics were trailing by three points before a capacity Boston Garden crowd when the big, bearded Boston star got decked. He sustained a split lip. The Los Angeles Lakers, chief pretenders to the Celtic pro basketball throne, had matched Boston shotfor-shot until Rus sell got belted. And the Lakers were hunting their 12th succes sive victory. Then the Celtics exploded, running 12 straight points in their patented style, and wound up with a 133121 victory over the Western Division leading Lakers. In other Sunday NBA games. St. Louis pulled to within five games of the Lakers by tipping San Francisco, 116-115, while Chicago was lowering the boom on Cincinnati, 113-03. The Hawk victory over tho Warriors was marked by ejection of scoring king Wilt Chamberlain in the first period for "unsportsman like conduct." Barnum Winner Of PGA Tourney PORT ST. LUCIE. Fla. (UPD John Barnum of Belmont, Mich., won the national PGA club pro fessional golf tournament here Sunday on the first sudden death playoff hole. Barnum. 51, parred the 525- yard, par-five playoff hole. Ansel Snow of Keswick, Va., and Chic Harbcrt, home pro, didn't hit the green until their third shots, then three-putted for bogey sixes. Defense Key To Victories, Says Belko Oregon basketball coach Steve Belko pointed to defense Sun day as the key factor in the Webfoots' two game basketball sweep over Washington State last weekend. . y. "We got solid defensive play from everyone," said Belko, "but I was particularly pleased with the way John Mack played on defense. Mack came off the bench and completely shut off Bob Montgomery, who had been hitting outside Friday, and then came up with a half-a-dozen steals Saturday to disorganize the Cougar offense. Belko called Friday's 60-51 victory, "a fine effort," and noted his squad wasn't as sharp Saturday. The boys weren't feel ing up to par physically. "We had all kinds of shots in the first half, but just couldn't seem to hit any of them," he said as he discussed Saturday's 58-44 win over WSU. The twin-killing of the Cou gars lifted the Webfoots' season record to 6-7 and put them with in reach of the break-even .500 percentage. The Ducks get their chance to attain that rating Fri day against Washington at Mc Arthur Court in their last home game until mid-February. Oregon already holds a win over the Huskies, having beat them 59-57 in Seattle on the strength of two foul shots by so) homore guard Elliott Glea son in the final minute of play. Both teams will be playing for revenge Friday, the Huskies striving to atone for the defeat at Seattle and the Webfoots hoping to erase the memory of an 81-59 whipping suffered the last time the two met at Mc Arthur Court. Oregon's freshman team, boasting a 5-1 won-lost record, has two games on schedule for this weekend. The Ducklings play Gideon Stolz Friday and meet the Portland University Frosh in Portland Saturday. of 36.9 seconds, eclipsing the old mark of 37.8.
