SPORT SLANTS

Sooner or later, in any discus sion of track and field athletics, the subject of the negro athlete and his amazing rise to the top in sprint and jumping events, is cer- tan to come up
 It came up on the eve of the American Olympic teams depart ure for Germany. And when Dr. Thomas Thornburn, of the New York A. C., ear, nose and throat specialist and president of the American Osteopathic Society, of fered a few observations on the matter, it was time to sit back and pay attention.
 You just have to look at the ne- gro jumpers or spr.nters to see how their anatomical construction fa- vors them in the runnng and jump ng events" says Dr. Thorn burn.
 "A large percentage of the pow CT in the colored athletes torso is concentrated in the chest, shoul- ders and arms. The waist is shor in proportion to the arms and legs Cornelius Johnson's build illustrates this perfectly. The west coast high jump champion appears to be al arms and legs when you first look at him, but then you notice that powerful shoulders and strong chest top his slender waist.

GET EVEN BREAK

The negros leaning toward track and field sport is a logical one In the first place it is just about the one branch of athletic endeavor in which the colored boys are giv- en fair chance The very nature of the sport, lacking bodily con- tact entirely, insures all partici- pants of an even break In almost every other sport the colored ath- lete finds obstacles placed in his path to success.
 The fact that no great amount of equipment is necessary to start one on a track career most likely serves to influence the negro boys to seek athletic glory on the cinder paths. Few of them could afford the ex- pense involved in playing a game like golf or tennis.
 The success of colored athletes, like Eddie Tolan, Ralph Metcalfe, Jesse Owens, Ned Coundin, Eulace Peacock and Cornelius Johnson has served to inspire negro young sters to try to emulate these her oes The indication is that the negro athletes are not going to re- linquish readily the grip they have on sprinting and jumping honors.

DOUBLE-DUTY DYNAMoS


 The dynamos of an athletes en- ergy is centered in the area around the larynx-in the shoulders ana chest Most every negro athlete is blessed with a powerful larnyx.
 Tn running and jumping the ac- ton of an athletes arms is almost as important as the action of his legs, The colored athletes long arms, swinging rhythmically, are a decided aid to locomotion.
 Rhythm plays an important part in successful participation in any branch of athletics. And everyone knows that the negro race has in herently a sense of rhythm and timing. The colored boys mental attitude generally serves him well in track and field competition for while he is emotional and can be inspired to rise to great heights he is seldom given to worrying
 Sum it all up and you will find that the negro athlete has rhythm and power-a combination which spells success in almost any branch of athletics"

incident.
