SUCCESSFUL relay team must practice a great deal to become proficient in ex- changing the baton. More relay races are won or lost in the 10-yard zone, which is provided for the ex- changing of the on, than are won or lost in the straightaway. The man recelving the baton must take careful note of whether his team- mate is tinishing strongly or not. If his teammate is coming on with a burst of speed he can take a fast start and be under full stride when he takes the on. If his teammate is falter- ing there is the possibility he will not finish and he must wait at the end of the zone until the runner is very near him. There are two fairly standard styles of exchanging the baton. The first is from right hand of run- ner to righ thand of receiver. Many coaches like thix, for most boys are right-handed and are less likely to drop the baton than if they used their left. Tn this style the receiver holds his hand with the palm up and the passer puts it into his hand with a firm slap. other sty'e, ch i a trifle | quicker, Is for the runner as soon as he receives the baton to place it in his left hand. The man who is to ve the baton holds his ri hand back down and the oncoming r baton into his hand with an upward swing.
