SPORTS Gossip About Events of National importance and the Persons Who Are In the Head
 Liner Glasses.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 29. - Ego tism is a cardinal virtue in the make up of an aspirant for high track hon. ors. according to Boyd Comstock, who has trained and coached some of the best athletes that southern California has produced. Comstock is not slow in describing him In the argot of the street as a "grandstander."
 "A word of warning to the novice who hopes to become a champion, " said Comstock in a recent discussion of the subject, "I would say that i'm provement Is not always marked by consistent performing advancement. He must remember that a seemingly bad slump is nothing more or less than the necessary step up the ladder of progress. It Is something to be ex- pected particularly to one who works consistently.
 "I believe that too great a respect is given to record marks in the vari. | ous events. l favor the reverse. Any height, distance or time that has been | made in fair competition can be equalled or bettered by hundreds of present day competing athletes if they would allow their minds to get in the proper condition.
 l Your successful athlete is essen tially an egotist and supremely con. fident of his own ability and prowess Slangly speaking. he is grand. stander," and in this he should be en. couraged. It all rests finally on what he can do, there can be no outside help, no teammate can cover up the Tagging stride. therefore the ego can, not be overdeyeloped. Give me a man with the imagination for future ath letic greatness and I will predict a future champion and get away with it There is altogether too much atten. tion paid to the individual methods oi champions, who have developed a cer tain style and which is in a large measure wrong in one of more vital points and certainly should not be copied in its entirety until the points prove themselves beneficial. For in, stance, l have seen the winner of an Olympic high jumping championship using form that would disgrace a schoolboy. This is no reflection on his ability, but it leaves the interest ing probability of what he might have done with a fair working knowledge of form in his particular event.
 ITO become a champion in any l branch whether it be boxing or one of the track or field events, the man must either be blessed with excep- tional powers of endurance, strength and what not, or make up for this de. ficiency in cleverness or knowledge. It is to be regretted that the combi- nation of both is met with so seldom.
 Make study of yourself. be your own coach, analyze your weak and strong points. take stock of what ven have.
 "A little common sense may not come amiss and may unearth some of the stumbling blocks in the way of your progress"
