On second thought, this m have figured among his reasons, since: Tiiden, being a busy man. has plenty of reasons for stickinz around this country. But in any event the fact | remains that he did not mind his beat- fng by Lacoste very much. This because the indoor zame does not interest him particularly. And he has never plaved up to his best on boards. It was interesting in the indoor matches recently to see him trylng to make the hall do those tricks in the way of elnsive bounds at unexpected angles which he can make it do on turf, or in lesser degree on dirt. But the hall never took hold on the hardwood floor: it merely sKid- ded and then rose at the normal angle. Tilden probably is slipping. He has been playing tennis at high pitch since he has been champion and is not a young man. But, even so, he has a long way to slip.

BY JACK MOAKLEY, Track Cosch at Cornell University HE high hurdle race is one of the most “spectacular events ¥ l in athletics, and boys should learn to run the hurdles at an carly age. The boys may make their.own hurdles, and those in the manual training classes at sehool will fii it a pleasure. N i For littls fellows the hurdles should. {not ba high. ‘The standard low | hurdle is 212 feet high. ‘That may be even too high for the smaller hoys, in which case they may be ent-ta2 feet. In the high hurdle events tia bars are 3l feet from the ground. The hurdles are 10 varde apart, The first hurdle s 15 yards from the starting mark and’ thereafter even 10 yards. The hurdles are indi- | vidual. Kath man has his hurdle. so | |1t he hite the bar he knocks down his own hurdle and not all of them. Kach one should he 3 to 3 feet wide. Tall boys need wider hurdles. |~ The hurdling form i this: Swing |the left leg in "parallel with .the hurdle, right leg out with foot pointed downward, the shoulders straight with the track. The. left arm is out and the right slightly hack to keep balance. Practice the foot work between until you get the right stride.
