The event marks the climax of the dog-racing season. The Alaskan, who is 52 years old, will attempt to cover the distance in less than 11 hours, 37 minutes ahd 35 seconds, the time in which had to ride all the way, for his legs no longer are nimble. Despite the! handicap of his own weight placed| on his team, Seppala finished only 20 minutes behind St. Godard. Youth is the favorite against age in these long races over snow, and some judges of the sport expect ished fourth last year, to be the most dangerous rival of both Se) pala and St. Godard.

For the meet, Finland which had I been the runner up in the previous Glympic competition, was relegated to fourth place while Austria was changes into consideration we should have ‘nother good race such as was had in '27, which was the closest race had in many years in any league.” The most important thing in sprinting is “bounce’—the spring as the foot touches the ground. All champions have it. Many others never utilize it. Charles Paddock seemed to run six inches off the ground. The rebound was too fast for the eye. That is the “bounce.” You can note the same thing with a rubber ball thrown against the ground. The harder it goes down, the greater the speed of reboun:.! If it goes straight down, the ball covers no distance; if thrown at ar! angle, it shoots rapidly over the ground. . Remember that. So, to secure greater bounce, the knee must come up high in front. I¢ must ALWAYS be out in front and never curled up behind. Two exercises will cultivate this bounce and important high knec action. The first consists of standing still and iifting the legs alter- nately up as high in front as possible, trying to touch the thigh to the !chest. The body must not be bent forward.
