special 10 ME EVENING JoURNAL !

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK, Del, April s.-Coach
William J. McAyoy of Delaware Col
lege has prepared a training sched-
ule for his track men to follow which
contains much valuable information
for the athlete who has ambition to
become a star track man. This sched-
ule is being carried out in the train
ing of the Delaware men as far as
possible and will be especially valua-
BILE for the athletes Of the high schools
of the State who are training TO take
part in the various events at the ALI
Scholastic meet to be held on Joe
Frazer field Saturday, May 16. The
schedule follows:
Sprinting.
1. Every effort in sprinting must
be in the direction of speed. The
whole effort of the body should be
straight ahead.
2. Hold the body slightly forward
so as it will aid you, however, the
incline of the body should not be
too much forward as it will have
tendency to make the sprinter clip
his stride. Do not hold the head and
body back; this will tie the sprinter
up and shorten the stride.
1. The leg motion should be
straightforward.
2. The knees should be flung up
and forward.
3. The knee should not be bent
when at full stride, for then the stride
is shortened and speed is lost.
I 4. The foot should not hang in the
air, but should hit tie ground When
fully outstretched.
5. The foot should not be thrown
up high. The arms should work In
unison with the body. If anything
the arm and body motion should pre-
cede the leg motion, thus acceleraung
the stride.
Care of the Body.
Eat plenty Of good, healthy food
DO not diet too heavily. Do not eat
rich pastries and seasoned food. GOOD
meats. vegetables, bread (toasted)
tapioca and rice pudding, and plenty
of fruit form a menu good enough fol
anyone.
Get plenty of sleep. Cut out to-
bacco. Timber up we'll before taking
