Rector Gained Big Advantage in
Races Through Use Of Short
Step in Getting Away From
the Mark.
By JAMES RECTOR.

There are two accepted methods OF
training sprinter. the English and the
American. Recently, especially since
the Olympic games of 1908, there has
been much discussion, both pro and
con, as to which method is superior.
1t Is no. the object OF this article to
answer that question. but 1t may be adj
vantageous to briefly state that the
English adhere to no set rules Of diet.
nor In fact to any we'll defined princi-
pies of training. On the other hand.
Amerncan athletes usually observe a
very strict diet. denying themselves
mentally and physically with almost
clock like regularity. The reader may
draw his own conclusions as to which
method is superior
It may also be we'll to state. in this
connection, that training" an athlete,
and coaching an athletic. are two
separate subjects. The trainers duties
are usually those Of putting the athle-
etc In 1T physical condition, while the
coach teaches him the tricks OF the
trade
It is upon the latter subject that one
finds such diversity of opinion among
the coaches. and It is only rarely that
two of them agree. To this point I

start Is Most Important.
1t is universally conceded that mast
cry Of the "sart" is the sprinters most
arduous task. If he is successful in
this work, he certainly has accomplish
ed what the great majority fail to do,
and his advantage is so great that he
will win most of his races even II he
cannot run as fast as his competitor,
when once under full speed, There
fore the start should be his primary
object.
1t will be recalled by many OF the
sprinters who ran ten or twelve years
ago, that they were taught in taking
the crouched position, to plant the toe
of the rear foot not less than IS
inches behind the heel Of the advanced
foot. This was. at that time, and in
fact still is. considered fundamental
by nearly all tho coaches Of to-day.
Personally. did not observe this
we'll known rule when running, and

being, was unheard of, and to which

, I give most of the credit for what sue
cess had as sprInter.
The change made was simply this:
Instead Of putting the rear foot some
eighteen or twenty inches behind the
advanced foot. when in the crouched
position. brought 1t up to not more
than six or eight inches away. 1t
VIII readily be seen by one taking
that position the whole body Is far
moro compact and the response of the
muscles viii take effect much soon
er. When one is in "set" position
awaiting the signal he should be pre- =
pared to leave the mark like a spring.
but this found hard to do with the
rear foot dragging behind like the
tail Of comet
There is second well accepted rule
that transgressed. and no doubt many
of the coaches will refuse to agree
with me upon this point I was frst
taught to take a huge lunge upon my
first stride. covering as much ground
as possible, say four feet. The theory
OF this is based upon the fact that
the Splinter is that much nearer the
finish. The theory is all right, to be-
sure, as are most theories. but there
are many faults with 1t in practice
Upon taking this long first stride I
round the body inclined backward. II
VIII be seen that this position Is wrong
and that the Splinter should be inclin-
ed forward every step of his race. be-
cause the weight of his body In adj
vance is bound to help him along.
therefore, taking this long step upon
the first stride. the sprinter must by
necessity use an immense amount of
energy, strength and time in his sec.
ono stride, to regain a normal racing
position.
Seeing the disadvantages far out
Weighted the advantages, and we'll
knowing that every fraction of an inch
counted. l found the following change
highly successful:
instead of taking the four-foot stride
as above described. I took short one,
81 not more than 10 or 12 inches. This
instantly placed my body in correct
.aclns position. The Splinter does not
nave 70 waste his energy in merely
coming 10 proper attitude because
ne is already thrown forward and
ready to properly take the second
stride. ~
great fault found with most
sprinters lies in the fact that they do
not properly use their arms. II they
use them at all. 1t is usually swing
Ing them across the body instead Of
along the sides. Very few realize that
through the proper use of the arms
while in sprinting race. they can ac-
celerate their speed to a surprising
degree 80 ~
Properly used, the arms should ba
swung with great force alternately.
backward and forward. with tho ONO.
site leg. They should he swung paraI-.
lei with the sides OF the body, and NOT
across, because If swung across thew
will correspondlngly swing the whoIe
body, and disturb the rhythm or the
stride forward.
What has been said here may be oh.
ljected to by many who know the fine
points Of the game l have merely ex-
pressed my opinion as it was formed
during my track career at the Univer 4
sity Of Virginia.
Every sprinter should be trained
differently. and according to his ma
ture. found the above methods sue
