JoggingThrough Hills Can
Be Fun, Easy, Rewarding
Bowerman Plans to Form Joggers Club
By JERRY VHRHAMMER
Register-Guard Sporti News Editor
fi Are you a victim of "expanding waist-
t line?" 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

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.

old mark of 37.8. She also won
the 50-yard freestyle event in
her age group.

won two individual events each.
Bob Huston the 11-12-years 50-
