is balanced as well as possible. Gard-
ner, our 1936 cross country captain,

and Waite, IC4A Varsity Champion, |

however, are more like the average.
They appear to thrive on the regular
work so that’s what they get...

Now, it is apparent that this
schedule is designed for college men.
High school boys can follow a similar
schedule safely if the coach will
shorten the workouts to suit the com-
petitive distance which rarely exceeds
2 miles. As a matter of fact the ma-
jority of my freshmen—even those
with some high school experience—
seldom get the type of work schedul-
ed above for the third or fourth weeks
until they have had nearly a month of
work similar to that outlined for the
first two weeks. Then, unless they
show that they are not yet ready, they
run with the varsity on Tuesdays. A-
long about the 10th week most of the
freshmen will be running with th
varsity reserves on the basic schedule.
Many of these boys have come _ to
college without any experience at all
and I’m afraid to .work them _ too
hard. Many, too, are still kids—some
as young as seventeen. These I usually
regard just as fellows who will get a
lot of exercise out of cross country
but will never make runners for us
before they graduate. Occasionally I
find an exception in some kid who
takes to the work and improves al-
most beyond belief. That’s one of the
things which make coaching an in-
teresting job.

Beware of the Sun in the
Eyes

In prolonged track meets and even
in football practice, we have notic-
ed many cases of intensive headaches,
caused by excessive sun in the eyes.

We recall particularly at the ’32
Olympics in Los Angeles and even
in the try outs at Palo Alto, there
were numerous cases of this type of
headache and they were so severe
that it made the athletes so ill that
they could hardly participate in their
events.

We recommend some type of sun
shade or hat while the athletes are
on the field and participating, but
due caution should be taken by every
coach to prevent this, as these head-
aches last out the entire day and it is
practically impossible to relieve
them without a night’s rest and the
effect is often felt for several days
afterward.

—o—

Dark glasses are hard on the eyes
unless properly fitted.

—o—

Eye wash is much better for the
eyes if used cold. If eyes smart and
burn, the chances are, they are not
getting proper lubrication or they
have had too much sun or dust.

education departments.
