Starting blocks have come to stay inct advancement in track uipment, if the overwhelming ent of college coaches and icials has anything to do with , and it probably has. The older guard of the Amateur Athlet Union has declined for the time being to go so far as the National Collegiate A. A. in unqualified adopting the foot blocks for print- ers and hurdlers but the A. A. U, reactionary thought it may seem at times, believes firmly in the ad-| vantage of using the blocks. Like the tenth-second watches, however, the blocks have arisen as a bugaboo to the record breakers, such as George Simpson of Ohio State, because of the fact that the International athletic authorities have been slow to accept innova- tions in practice and equipment. The L A. A. F. did not accept the tenth-second watch until it was too late to put Charley Paddock’s ¥100-yard record of 9 5-10 on the books. The same ruling powers may not adopt the starting blocks, or sanction their use, in time to certify the record of 9 4-10 made by Simpsocn at Chicago last June.| Track authorities are decidedly split on the subject but a majority do regard the blocks as necessarily productive of faster sprinting time. So long as the runner covers 100 yards solely under his own power, it hardly seems reasonable that a getaway from blocks, on a level with the ground, will inspire any more speed than the charge out of holes dug in the cinders. “As I see it,” said George Bres- nahan, Towa track coach, ‘“the chief advantages are that the use, of blocks standardizes the starting,; avoigs the hazards of having holes ! faade in the track and speeds up the meet.” | ¢ other hand, Lawson Rob- be- permitting a longer start- ds them as good for at least a re vard advantage at the outset cf: a,_race; : It's an interesting debate and| Jikely will go on until the In-| ternational A.
