them assume such ridiculous positions when
trying the game.
The best way to learn hurdle racing is to
commence by practicing easily over the low
hurdles. or if feet 6 inches is too high to
jump with confidence try something still
lower The only trouble in jumping a low
hurdle is thar little style is necessary to clear
It. and it might be better to take foot 9
inch or higher obstacle and clear it slowly
for style getting just enough momentum
from a short run to carry ones self over 1t.
After a while if this is continued, tho athlete

more speed in until ne gets up to the regula-
ton foot g inch race and use three strides
between the hurdles, which viii bring the
same foot to leap 1som at each hurdle. The
high hurdles are put 10 yards apart, which IS
considered q distance which tbs majority Of
athletes can take in three strides. If four
strides are used between them different foot
will be used at each hurdle, and five strides,

equal at the high hurdles and WHO K - pres
ent amateur champion at the low ones, does
not clear the obstacles in the way shown by
the first illustration. He takes them more
like regular long stride with his foot first
and MS legs very much extended He is not
so scientific as Jordan, but he can run 100
yards about yards faster than his rival and
is also better running broad jumper. He
makes up in force what he may lack in
science, although he is by no means an uu-
scientific hurdler. Jordan in clearing the
high sticks covers about twelve feet in dis
lance; COPELAND about one foot more.
Although the styles Of rishg Tor hurdle
vary so far as the position Of the leading leg
is concerned, the method of holding or trail
ing the leg sprung from is atOut the same in
all hurdlers. The trailing lag is generally
held back pretty straight and the knee is not
bent until it is over or has passed the stick.
The reason the knee is bent ut all while the
athlete is in the air is that wien he lands the
trailing foot can be put forward much
quicker, if half the motion of making a stride
has been made, than if the athlete landed
with it still trailing in a straight position be-
hind. Very often when an athlete considers
himself far enough over the hurdle to bend
his knee with safety the motion Of bending
will lower the knee somewhat and it will
strike the hurdle. This sometimes thro US
the runner heavily, or twists him around,
making him land awkwardly and preventing
his getting into his stride quickly for the fat
part CT the race.
The second illustration shows an athlete di-
rectly over the hurdle. He is altogether too
high to have his style called scientific. 1t will
be noticed that the same bend of the leading
knee is there as shown in the first picture, al
though in the second one the athlete is so high
that it would not make much difference
whether he pointed his foot or his knee first.
He has already bent the knee Of his trailing
leg, but 1t is way above the bar and one can
see that there is no danger of his coming IN
contact with what he is clearing The athlete
was familiar with proper style of hurdling,
as can be seen by his general position. but he
evidently had taken hard run and big leap
which sent him a great deal higher than was
necessary.
The picture shows that he will land again
on his left foot and probably will easily re-
gain his stride for the flatrunning. Although
the style shown would impress one familiar
with the game as being most wasteful, still if
the athlete cleared the hurdle by even such
an unnecessary distance, it would look scien-
tifc if compared with the style nOvices gen
orally show. These would go even higher in
