BRITAIN AND OLYMPIC GAMES.

THE QUESTION OF AGE IN ATHLETICS.

DANGER OF OVER-EXERTION BY TOO YOUTHFUL MEN.

Great Britain faces the 1930 track and field season with an eye to wards the 1839 Olympic Games to be held in Los Angeles.

As British track and field leaders open the 1830 campaign they are looking for men of promise between the ages of 22 and 23. The reason for this is, that a decided majority of Olympic winners in the past have been over 22 years of age.

Well-developed physical manhood, represented at the age of 91, is the correct starting-point, according to British experts. Youths of 18 or 18 should not be allowed to run, in the opinion of British crities, ince, early-age participation in athletics tends to burn out likely athletes.·

When ona scrutinizes the records of British track and field records the truth of the belief that athletes over 2 are the ones to place char: is evident. pionship hopes on Another glance at America's long list of victorious stars reveals the same fact.

Exceptional Cases.

"

United Press.}'

His competition was not as keen as that encountered in some of the past Olympic Games. No runner of the sterling merit of Charley Paddock was in the fold against

him,

H. M. Abrahams won the 100 metres in the 1924 Games for Great Britain at the age of 23. He never finished a 100 yards faster than 10 seconds before he was 2li

Charley Paddock who learned his Cromwell, running under Dean Southern California mentor, did much of his best running around the age of 25. The golden streak from Pasadena, California, was good be fore that nge, but did not have the stamina to run 0.6 second races on consecutivo Saturday's. When he was timed at 9.4 seconds in the race against Charley Borah he was 24.

Hearing Thirty.

Sidney Atkinson, who won the high hurdles at Amsterdam was 29. Lord Burtbley, number one man at Amsterdam, in the 400 metres low hurdles, was in his twenty-fourth year.

Now he is rated along with de Mar, a Sfty-year old veteran, as the best in the United States.

Still Going Strong.

Weight stars are seldom young store. The consistently good work of Matty McGrath- and Pat J. McDonald of New York, down through the years is a good exam ple. To-day Bud Houser, Olympic discuss winner in 1994 and again in 1928, Herman Brix, and John Ruck are all better than when they re sponded to the rah-rah's of college rooting sections.

Brix still growing, can shove the shot past the 50-foot mark any day of the weeks, once he gets in shape. Houser finds little trouble in spin- ning the discusspast the 150-foot line when he finds time between pulling teeth. Kude is to-day more accom plished than when he handled the shot at Kansas State Teachers.

Uric Krenz and Harlow Pothert, Dink Templeton's two prize Stan- ford tanned giants who hold a monopoly in the collegiate weight feld, should get better as they grow stronger and more mature.

People may point out the case of Percy Williams and Kay Barbutti

Douglas Lowe, Britain's BB3 –

Harold Osborne, Illinois star, bas leading figures in the last Olympic tiona: middle-distance runner, was Games, as youths under 21 who 18 when he was named Olympic made some of his best jumps since he said good-bye to birthday num- came through the terrific mental champion in the 500 metres race in and physical strain afforded by 1998.

Barbutti won the 400 metres race at Amsterdam when he was only 18. His victory was the sole one scored by America in a fat race. Barbatti won, despite his age, be- cause he is a powerful, &ghting run ner who won't be beaten. He stands aix feet tall, weighs 190 pounds, and played four years of excellent football for Syracusa. Throughout his career he has con- sistently defeated men such as Bud Spencer, of Stanford, who have run faster: races. Barbutti just had enough strength coupled with grit and fight at the finish to dive for the tape and victory.

Williams, an excellent runner, did not have to face Charley Borak of Southern California in either two of the short sprint races.

performers in the world, 26.

When Tad Meredith and Melvin Shepherd both broke the world's record in their thrilling race a Stockholm in 1912 to place one, two, for America they were 32 and 28 respectively,

Paaro Normi, the greatest runner over distances from 1,500 yards to 5 miles the world has ever known, is 30. He did not become known as the Phantom Finn until he was nearly 3.

Joie Ray and. Clarence de Mar, premier long-distance America's stars, are no longer kids at the run ning game. True enough, Ray put in five years on indoor and out- door tracks before he began to win in 1929, but at the age of 29 he entered a Marathon competition.

So as Great Britain swings into another trackandfeld season. efforts will be spent on developing men over British Cofficials any sprinters do their best running bes tween the age of 24 and 2r.

Middle-distance stars are believed. to run fastest after they are 23. Long-distance runners should be over thirty, and weight men have not definitely established an age- limit when their performances begin to dim.

Already athletes and trainers are looking westward to Los Angeles and the events which will be held in the bottom of the Coliseum. The" coming trip is being planned in a systematic, business-like way, and plans call for a party of athletes who are over 92.
