Kervaras and. Frank Gotch arc

Many mat fans proclaim Zbyszko
the greatest living wrestler. Ten to

met any of the late crop a of
wrestlers, Stecher, Caddock, et al.,
but he threw his brother, W.ladek,

In Kervaras he has a worthy op

Base Ball Notes
- Chicago, March 20. Vean Gregg
is another veteran pitcher who has
decided that farm life is better than
a berth in the minors. He has passed
up an offer to pitch for the Sacra
mento"1 club. j
Some of the world's champion
Reds, now training at Miami, have
captured seyeral hammer-headed
sharks. The -struggle between the
bonehead and the hanmerhead must
have been wbrth"going a long ways
to see. ,
Another Walter Johnson has come
into prominence. He hit .367 and
stole 42 bases at Columbia, S. C.,
last season, and now he is out to
win a. place on the New Orleans
team.
Roy Mitchell, who shared in the
world's ' series division of the Cin
cinnati Reds last fall, has quit hase
ball for farm life in Texas. He had
been released to the Sacramento
club, but will not report.
.Georgia has been picked as the
training ground of the Braves and
Tigers, and three minor league clubs
Toronto, Columbus "and Indianap--plis.

The $1,000,000 base ball team has
finally materialized. The Yanks,
after paying $125,000 for Babe Ruth
and many additional . thousands for
other high-priced players, is the first
big league club to hit the $1,000,000
mark. Ivory is keeping- oace with

Gail Moredick, Dave Holland, Ed
Quinn, local stars, and Mel Jones,

ers from putting teams in the field
this seasotir the officials of the Mu

Meetings will be held this week
by the GateTity, Booster, Inter
City -and Greater Omaha leagues.
The first three circuits will meet
Monday night, while the class AA

ably Wdnesday night.
A Bankers' league will probably
be formed this season. The Omaha
National bank and the-Merchants'
National have both placed teams in
the field to "play Sunday , morning
and it is likely- that other banks
in Omaha will fall in line this week.
The American league has decided
td play Sunday morning. Every

and a little ambition. The legion's
athletic committee will furnish bats

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
