Track Coaching by Earl J. Thomson, B.A., Navy Track Coach, Navy
Athletic Association, Annapolis, Md.
July 9-14. 4 hours per day. $20

Mr. Thomson’s coaching record is as follows: Assistant to Harry
Hillman at Dartmouth for two years. Head coach West Virginia Uni-
versity for one year, during which time the University of Pittsburgh was
beaten for the first time. Assistant coach at Yale University for four
years, during which time he was acting head coach when Yale was the
last eastern team to win the I. C.4 A. meet. Has been seven years head
coach at United States Naval Academy, during which time all but three of
the present Academy track and field records have been set. He has made
Navy teams a consistent threat to larger and more experienced teams
because of his methods of coaching. Has been coach of the last two Navy
Olympic contingents and has had several men go to the final trials.

Mr. Thomson’s athletic record consists of having been the world
record holder in the 120-yard and 110-meter high hurdles as well as having
won the 1920 Olympics in the latter. He won several collegiate and
national titles in both the high and low hurdles through the years from
1916-1922, as well as having placed third in the National A. A. U. All-
rounds on two occasions.

The following is a résumé of the track coaching course which Mr.
Thomson plans to give this summer:

This will include coaching on the sprints, middle distances, mile and
two mile, high and low hurdles, shot put, discus, javelin, hammer, broad
jump, high jump and pole vault. Cross country and indoor running will
also be considered. The course will consist of lectures, slow motion and
the latest still pictures, with demonstration in the classroom and on the
field. Students are asked to bring appropriate track gear in order that
they may actively engage in the work-outs. Mr. Thomson teaches with
the Mannscope and slow moving pictures as well as actual demonstra-
tion on the field. His motion pictures are probably the best collec-
tion for such purposes that exist.
