Text Appearing Before Image:
ss is lined up back of the startingline, the teacher standing at the finish line,watch in hand. The teacher gives the signalto start by snapping his handkerchief and thefirst boy starts. As he crosses the finish line,the teacher snaps his handkerchief again andthe second boy starts, and so on. The teachertakes the total elapsed time from the instantthe first runner starts until the last onehas finished and, dividing by the numbercompeting, gets the average time for theclass. T\Tien it is desired to time each individual,a stop watch is very convenient, in factalmost necessary. When individual time istaken, the signal for the second runner tostart is given only when the time of the firsthas been taken and recorded. For this pur-pose the teacher should have at his elbow anon-competing pupil to act as clerk. Onegreat advantage of using a stop watch is FOR BOYS AND GIRLS 33 that, in addition to its much greater ac-curacy, the teacher can have his eyes onthe runner rather than on the watch.
Text Appearing After Image:
Plate 8. — Crouch Start One of the mistakes that we are prone tomake is to suppose that boys and girls knowhow to run. A httle watching will convinceone that they need to be taught how to dothis as much as anything else. 34 NEW RATIONAL ATHLETICS For the guidance of those who have nothad training in sprint races, we have setdown here seven points to be observed inrunning: 1. Make a quick start. Practice the crouchposition. (See Plate No. 8.) 2. Dig the ground out from under you withhalf a dozen quick, choppy steps. 3. Having thus gotten up some speed,straighten up and begin to run. 4. Make your stride as long as you canwithout disturbing your balance; every inchadded to your stride counts up wonderfully. 5. Keep your head up and look straightbefore you. 6. Keep your arms and legs movingstraight forw^ard and back, like the drivingrods of a locomotive. Any swaying fromside to side is lost motion. 7. Make yourself go faster and faster,flashing across the finish line at your highestposs
