ways THAT means body must be
Strengthened out each time you make

hurdle: too short q step after each
hurdle; a slowing down just before
taking a jump.
Overcome fear OF hitting hurdle
by wearing an ankle guard on the
right leg. Take either three or Ave
steps between hurdles. Try 1t on
the grass first. Practice q lot.
! l recommend throwing the left leg
over the hurdle first as a right legged
hurdler would be at considerable
|disadvantage In going around the

Pad the top Of the hurdle until YOU

This will increase your confidence.

BYJACK MOAKLEY,

Famous Track Coach at Cornell University,
THE high hurdle race is one of
the most spectacular events
1 in athletics, and boys should
learn to run the hurdles at an carly
age. The boys may make their own
hurdles, and those in the maflual
training classes at school will hnd
it pleasure. - :.
For little fellows the hurdles should,
not ne high. The standard low
hurdle Is q. feet high. That may ne
even too high for the smaller hoye,
in which case they may be cut 20 =
feet. In the high hurdle events .tns
bars are 3Ia feet from the ground.
The hurdles are 10 yards apart,
The first hurdle is Is yards from
the starting mark and thereafter
even 10 yards. The hurdles are indi'
vidual. Eath man has his hurdle. SO
II he hits the bar he knocks down
his own hurdle and not all of them
Each one should be to 3I rect
wide Tall boys need wider hurdles.
The hurdling form is this Swing
the left leg in parallel with :fhe
hurdle. right leg out with foot
pointed downward the shoulders
straight with the track. The left
arm is out and the right slightly back
to keen balance. Practice the foot
work between until you get the right
stride. Try going over lower OBJ
stacles to get confidence yeu can
reach the hurdles. <io..
You must have confidepce. 80 you
won't lose speed and you cant%have
confidence unless YOU have The proper
stride and can run theHa hurdles
smoothly. Don't jump too high over
them, for that's a waste of strength
and you need all your strength to
win a race.
Some Of the great faults beginners
in hurdllng show are: Not getting up
sufficient speed or too much speed
before the first jump: jumping too
high or not high enough: allowing the
body to turn from forward to side.

is no more than average in facility
in sport and plays the game for the
health that it gives in return and
out OF the sheer exurberance Of youth
full spirit.
One OF the reasons why Tilden shows
no burning desire to hurry over to
France and play Lacoste in the dirt
court championships in France is that
he has not taken his defeat by the
Frenchman particularly to heart.
On second thought. this may not
have figured among his reasons, since
Tilden. being a. busy man. has plenty
of reasons for sticking around this
country. But in any event the fact
remains that he did not mind his beat
ing by Lacoste very much.
This because the indoor game does
not interest him particularly. And
he has never played up to his best
on boards. 1t was interesting in the
indoor matches recently to see him
trying to make the hall do those
tricks in the way of elusive bounds
at unexpected angles which he can
make It do on turf. or in lesser degree
on dirt. But the ball never took hold
on the hardwood floor; it merely skid
ded and then rose at the normal
angle. Tilden probably is slipping.
He has been playing tennis at high
pitch since he has been champion and
is not young man. But, even so, he
has a long way to slip.
