The Man

Larry Snyder, Ohio Staff
Coach, Modestly DUcleimi

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.
The coaoh contends ' that
with one the Buckeyes would
