OREGON AiitfUHt 13, 19:50 Smoke Team Takes Possession of Third Place The Man Behind Owens Larry Snyder, Ohio Staff Coach, Modestly DUcleimi Credit for Producing Run ner. ELKS CAPTURE S , Modest Larry Snyder will . toll you that he had nothing to do with Jesse Owena be coming the brightest star In the history ot the Olympic games the greatest aprluter and broad Jumper and one ot the flneat hurdlers ot all time. "Owens probably ta the first truly natural born athlete," remarked Snyder, 14-year-old Ohio State university track nd field coach, as he depart ed tor Berlin. "He Is aa grace ful as a gaselle. His speed la like the bursting ot shot from a gun. "When Owens first showed ' up In Columbus there was lit Hie we could do other than to Improve his starting position and atrlde a little." Only a natural athlete could accomplish the amasing feata of Owens. 80 outstanding la the Cleve land flyer that the track and field world confidently antici pated his triple victory In Ber lin. In view of his epochal afternoon in the western con ference meet at Ann Arbor a year ago last aprlng and nu merous other phenomenal per formances. It waa expected that he would set a new Olym pic standard In each In sweep , Ing the 100 and 200-meter dashes and the broad jump. He broke three world rec ords and equaled another In Michigan stadium, where the 110-yard b n r d 1 e 1 was bis fourth number. e Snyder, who accompanied Owena and the American team to Germany, la one of the few mantora who can don track toga and toe tbe mark with his pupils. He still can hur dle, throw tbe discus, and do S feet 11 Inches In the high Jump.. Snyder started track and field work at Canton McKln- ' ley blgb school at Canton, 0., where be waa a star. Tbe school bad no timbers ' to top, so he made a aet of standards, erected them In bis yard, and practiced nightly un til his feet became leaden weights. Snyder transferred from Dartsmouth to Ohio State In 1915. During the war, L. K-. as tbe coach Is known to Buck eye track and field men, be came a member ot the United States aviation corps at Carls ton, Fla. Following the war he became a stunt man with a flying circus. This satisfied to some extent bis passion for speed. Returning to Ohio State In 1923, Snyder played halfback and punted for the Scarlet and Gray. He finished the following year as western con ference hurdle champion. He placed In four events In the Penn relays that spring the 120 and 440-yard hurdles, blgh Jump, and tbe hop-step-and-Jump. Snyder became assistant assistant Ohio State coach in 1925 and head man In 1932, as Dr. Frank Riley Castleman took on a multiplicity of du ties. Snyder Is a genial fellow. He Is of German descent, but has as Irish personality. George Simpson was one of Snyder's prlie products. He waa another natural with only minor flaws to be Ironed out. A lanky, driving type of sprinter, with flailing arm ac tion, his every move spelled power, and, as In the case ot Owens, tbe Ohio State coach let him run his own race. h. N. did little more than see tbat Simpson and Owens were In condition. ' Running improves running, so Snyder puts bis charges through plenty of practice. . Owens, who runs "like melt ing butter In a hot skillet," was allowed to go only three fourths of bis distance at top speed. He never trained, for the hurdles, and only worked on bis highly geared striding for the broad Jump. Simpson ran full distances. He worked like a truck horse because that suited hlra. A list ot the more renown ed athletes coached by Snyder would Include Pete Rasmus, world record discus thrower; Howie Krlss, dash man; Dave Albrltton and Mel Walker, cur rent high Jump aces, and Char ley Beetham, the half-miler who stumbled out of an Olym pic berth. Albrltton and Cornelius Johnson, the long-legged Co nip ton, Calif., Junior college ne gro, tied at a new world rec ord figure In the blgh Jump In the final Olymplo tryouts, Snyder, who helped to re vive Interest in track and field In the midwest, regrets that Ohio State hasn't a field bouse for winter activities.
