Here's Dope On
Track Training
By Dean Cromwell, Track
Coach at University of
Southern California.

High jumping is-one of the most
spectator and the athlete As for
the athletic type most generally sus-
cessful in jumping, the advantage is
with the tall, slender man with long
legs and springy muscles.
There are several styles Of high
jumping which have proved to. be
successful | want to describe Two
methods which | believe are ideal.
For many years the world s rec
ord was held at 6 feet ) 5-8 inches
by Michael Sweeney. | have been
told that he was an athlete of mar
velous physical development and
ideal high jumping type. His style
was a straight front jump with Il
turn or twist of the body while 60
ing over the cross bar and this was
the generally accepted form for
many years. Even at the present
time it is IA standard leap and good
men can clear Il height greater than
their own by using this style.
The length of the run used by
Sweeney WAS about 30 feet and
the take off marks was approxim-
ately the same distance back. from
the standards as the height of the
jump. Thus if the bar was at
feet the jump would be started six
feet from the standards. The dist
ancc, of course, would vary accord
ing to the length of the leg and
jump. a tall, long-legged man
would have to take off IA little fur
ther back shan one of shorter, heav-
ier build.

How to Take Run

The run is straight pt the cross
bar and should not be too fast, es.
pecially during the first part. There
should be a let-down Of the should
ers or Il part crouch, gathering fol
for the spring from the ground, just
before the leap. The arms and the
shoulders help decidedly in the lift
as the jump is made. The Jumping
foot is turned slightly. i'll the take
off. :
If the athlete jumps from the left
foot he would lift or swing the right
leg up and toward the cross bar as
he makes the spring, keeping the
night leg nearly straight. The left
foot is slightly turned to the left
then the left leg, following the right
will have knee bend. AS the ba,
is cleared, the left side of the body
is toward the bar and the left leo
is necessarily kept up close to the
body. The body is aided in its course
across and away from the bar by
Il backward kick Of the right leg
followed by a similar drive from
the left. At the same instant the
body is twisted to the left, bringing
the jumper down facing the bar ant
landing on two feet or both the
hands and feet.
The one criticism at the present
day to. this jump is that all the
force OF the leap over the bar is di
rectcd at the cross bar and if this
is touched even lightly it will be
displaced
Another Standard Jump
Another standard jump is the
straight or modified scissors, in
which the jumper runs straight at
the bar but makes his take off with
the Jumping foot turned at A.
degree angle. In this jump, if the
take off is made with the left foot
he will swing or lift the right leg III
to the right and toward the bar
This gives IA partial - lay OUT that
is, the body at the exact instant of
clcring the bar is more or less par.
allci to the cross piece.
At the point Of clay OUT back
and downward swing of the left or
jumping leg, followed by left turn
or twist of body, lands the jumper
facing the cross bar similar to that
IN the straight front jump.
