His Training Must Be Systematic to
Get the Best Results.
Every schoolboy thinks that he can
broad Jump, and so he can to a certain
degree. But this event is one which
should be gone at Systematically to get
tie best results. Thv jumper should
first carefully notice his stride on go
tng I'D to the take off, so that he can
mark off q distance-say twenty-five
yards back-and by stepping on this
mark with one Of his feet as he runs
by he will be sure to strike the take off
when he comes to it. The jumper can
not be sure of getting his best efforts
into his jump unless he is practically
sure Of hitting the take off. After this
has been acquired the athlete can get
to work.
In this run the jumpers highest
speed should be reached at about ten
or twelve feet before the take off, so
that he can gather himself for the
jump. After leaving the take off be
should shoot out and up. He must
have elevation or his efforts will be in
vain. He should go into the air at an
angle Of at least forty-fve degrees. a
good way to get this elevation Is by
placing hurdle in the jumping pit
and jumping over it. The jumper
should gather himself together as ne
goes through the air, and at the finish.
just before alighting. he should force
himself on by a spasmodic effort with
his arms and body. The legs will strike
the ground at the farthest possible
distance. Practice will show how far
out the feet can be thrown without the
athletes falling back into he pit 1t
must be remembered that the greater
the speed the farther out the feet can
be thrown with safety. A great deal
Of practice is necessary to become
good broad jumper. but this an
event which it is not we'll to practice
too frequently, as it is very hard on
the legs. The broad jumper will there
fo.e not expect to get at his best dur
ing his first season.-G. W. Orton in st.
