that her voice may not be thrown against the vol.

arms a novice must not expect to be able

for he will not have the science, but this
quality will come with practice. The
novice need not hold his hands 30 far
apart as this one, but they should be at
least two feet apart
The Illustration, The Usual Style"
shows an athlete well over the bar with
his chest to IT. He has turned completely
around. and there Is probably no fear Of
the bar being displaced unless his arms
should accidentally hit it. Il will be no
ticed that his legs are thrown high in the
air. 1t depicts the general style unusually
well, and although It would be impossible
for a beginner to go through the same
movements even on a much lower height,
still, with constant practice. it will be ac.
quired before the athlete is aware Of It.
Dropping the Pole" illustrates the end
ing Of a vault The athlete is completely
past the bar, and although ii looks as
though his right arm might displace IL,
still. when the body Is so far advanced as
this picture shows, all danger is past.
The pole has been let go Of and thrown a
little back, as can be seen by the way II Is
leaning The athlete will drop lightly to
the loose dirt dug up for the purpose on
one side OF the bar. while the pole falls on
the other side, and the leap Is made. Pole
yaulting Is a game where great improve
ment can be made, because so much head
work and so little athletic qualities are
required As compared with other events.
