the best methods and technic used by
champion performers.

following: fundamentals, the sprints,
*the quarter-mile, the half-mile, relay
racing, one-mile run, two-mile run,
eross-country running, walking, steeple-
chasing, the hurdle race, the running
high jump, the standing broad jump,
the running broad jump, the pole-vault,
the shot-put, discus-throw, the javelin-

events, gives a list of champion per-
formers or world's records, physical
equipment necessary, technic, and train-
ing schedules. The profuse use of illus-
trations, both photographs and -draw-
