ANNUAL MAT CONTESTS NEXT SATURDAY Large Crowd Expected to Wit ness Bouts for State Amateur Wrestling Title. , ' TRACK TALKS ByCOACH HENRY F. SCHULTE UNIVERSITYOFrlEBRASKA THE 880-YARD RUN. The half-mile calls for practically the same technique that the quarter demands.' Altfrougfi it is usually classed as a run, while the 400 is called a dash, the two events are' quite similar. , ' , lhe race is usually run on a one- fourth mile track so as in the quar ter dash, the half-miler wants the advantage of the Rosition at the pole. rractice at tne starting position ana the start itself as outlined in the arti cles on the 100-yard dash, are of great value. Itwould be best to master the start by working with the sprinters. Even though the race is long, close finishes are not rare. "Enough neck and neck finishes occur in the half to warrant paying some atten tion to the pitch or finish. ' lhe halt mile demands tair speed. great endurance, gameness, . and knowledge of the footracing game. Speed. At first glance the half mile would appear to call for only average sprinting speed, but that is an il- )usion. The half-miler should do much of his training for speed. The chap i who does the event in two minutes (that grett goal of the 880 man), does an average of 13 3-5 sec onds for each hundred yards. WThen you consider that the world's record totvyie 440 is 47 seconds and that that time was made by a fast 10 second man, you can readily see that to make even time in the half, ie tunner should be able to sprint the hundred in abont 11 seconds at the last.' In other words, the develop ment of speed in short sprints should be made one of the big aims in training for the half. Develop speed by working short sprints up to -100's and 200's with the sprinters at least twice . a week. ' Occasional quarters at :57 or :56 for a two minute, man or :58 to :60 for a 2:05 man are valuable, not only for speed training but for the develop ment of a sense, of pace. ? Endurance. No one can expect to run a half mile .until he has built up his en durance. It takes a lot of power a lot of nerve strength to run a de cent half. In-order to'develop en durance if is well for the 2-minufe man to vary his 440's at say :56 to :60 and 660's at 1:25 to 1:30 with overdistance workouts. In early season, of course, -the half-miler should wqrk over miles and even mile-and-a-halfs. As the meets draw nearer it( is well to work an oc casional three-quarter vmile with the miles. Gameness." -No chap can expect to succeed in taking part. Friends are invited the half unless he is game. It not only takes gameness to train for the event and to fight through in a hard finish, but it takes' a high quality of gameness to stand up to the other fellow's pace, to match him wit to wit, and not give in to the desire to ease down when the going is hard. The third amatear state wrestling championship tournament scheduled to take place in the Young Men'sH Christian association gymnasium next Saturday night' will be the greatest ever held in the state. Over 50 events will be staged' during the evening, the first bout starting at 7:30. Classes .will' be made according to the following weights, 108, 115, 125, 135, 145, 158, 175 and heavyweights.
