PADDOCK HITS
TRACK; BEGINS
HIS TRAINING
World’s Champion Sprinter1
Getting in Trim for Big
Relay Carnival.
LOS ANGELES, .Tan. 31.—Charles I
W. Paddock, world's champion 1
sprinter, has begun practice for his
re appearance on the cinder path a.^ j
a member of the University of South I
ern California track and field team j
at the Southern California Amateur j
Athletic Union relay carnival at (It I
cldental College here February 17.
Although ho did not run last sea
ron for U. S. C. and had compara !
tively little practice, he is said to!
be in g>otl comfit ion now. Golfing
each day and practice for meets j
at Hawaii and at Santa Barbara, Cal., I
last year kept him in form, I’addock I
.said.
He announced he plannned to con
tinue light training at his home in
Pasadena for a few weeks and then
Join the U. 9. C. team in its daily
workouts. He will train under the1
direction of Coach Dean Crockweii'
and is expected to be the Trojans'I
biggest point winner.
Paddock announced a year agoj
that he would rotirs from active I
competition, but criticism for not en
tering Eastern meets last summer
and failure of the National A. A. U
to recognize times made by him at ,
Hawaii and Santa Barbara are be-]
lieved to have caused him to change,
his mind.
Besides running at several Pa
cific Coast meets this season it L
expected Paddock will accompany
the Trojan squad to Eastern con !
tests, among them the Drake re
lays, the Penn relay carnival, the
national collegiate at Chicago ami
the intercollegiates at Harvard sta
dium. There is also a possibility
that a few Pacific Coast athletis
■will run a! the University of Paris'
meet in Francs, and Paddock may!
be among them.
In the relay carnival at Occidental
next month. Paddock will be in i
competition with several men who l
run the 100-yard da-di In less than
10 seconds. They include Clifford
Argue, of Occidental, Charles Daggs'
of Pomona, and Howard T.orkelson!
and Yale iMartz, both of U. S. <’.

Ear H. Koinholtz, of Long Beach, i
Cal., who has been signed as coach
of all sports at the University of j
Santa Clara, will not assume his du
ties until next August, it has been
announced here. Previously it had
been stated that Keirholtz would re-'
lieve Joseph R. Aurrecoechta, bis
ketball coach. Immediately.
The record of Keinholtz with
Washington State College and Long
Beach High School has already mad *
him popular with lh<* Mission student
body.
MEXICO CITY NOW
HAS TWO BULLRINGS
MEXICO CITY. Jan. 31. The sight
of 30,000 persons jamming "El Toreo"
bullring every Sunday afternoon and
day of fiesta, was too much for a
few moneyed lovers of the sport. So
they built a new ring, which was
formally opened January 7. Fighters
frqln Spain have been imported and
contracts made for several good
breeds of fighting bulls.
The new arena accommodates
slightly more than half of "El
Toreo’s" capacity. The versatility of
this ring was shown recently whan
within four days a bullfight, a boxing
match, grand opera, a Ukraniaa
chorus concert, anil a circus were
staged there.

HOW TO LEARN TO
BE GOOD SKATER

Of Fancy Skating Team of
Baurkc and Blue
(Through Courtesy of Winches
ter Repeating Arms Co.)
■-W
I:i no form of sport ai ■ Ulo physi
cal benefits greater or is less muscu
lar strength required titan in the urt
of ice skating.
To thoroughly enjoy this faseinat-j
ing ’pastime, particular attention!
should be paid in the selection of |
shoes and skates. The ankles must I
be rigid yet flexible therefore, It is
well to keep this in mind when so-1
lecting a pair of skating shoes. For j
figure skating, the high topped shoes |
give better support to the leg
muscles and ankles. The low topped
-hoes are used for speed skates.
The figure skat s should be very
little longer, if any, than the shoes
The speed skate i are made in all ‘
sizes to fit the shoes but the length l
of th > runner d pends solely upon i
the choice of the skater u^ing them.!
The garments most suitable are a
matter cf individual taste. They I
should be sin h that will allow free ■
dom of motion, however.
From the outset, a skater must
learn to do the same amount of work
on both feet. If one foot is weaker,
than the other, more practice is re
quired upon it. Much time should1
he devoted to practicing long stroke -1
and curves with one foot upon lhp|
Lee at a time and the start of these|
strokes and curves should lie made)
from "rest" stroking from the side)
of the skate and never by digging
the toe of the skate in the ice,
A few simple rule to he observed '
when learning to skate are:
1 -Keep the head erect. Never
look at the ice env more than is ah j
solutely necessary.
a—Keep the body upright and sup-;
pie—in taking the forward slroke. il j
is necessary to bend the body for !
ward but an upright position must be j
taken as soon as possible.
3— Keep shoulders back and chest
out.
4— The arms must be relaxed in j
order to give free play from, the,
shoulders.
■<- The skating or “employed" leg
must he bent at the knee. The free j
or “unemployed” leg must be kept!
out nd downwards. The knee should
be slightly bent.
To master the art of figure skat
ing. it is necessary to begin with tin '
four plain edges; outside and inside
forwards. These form the base of
the more intricate, elementary school
figures such as the changes of edges
or serpentines, three*, double threes. |
loops, circles that give strength and i
the persistent practice of these ole-j
montary figures will do more for the
skate.:- than any amount of tim :
spent on the more difficult tricks
and figures.
By persistent practice, combined!
with the proper amount of food and
rest, speed and assurance in skating i
is developed and it is possible for
any one to become an expert hockey'
player, speed or figure skater.
WANT TO EXPLOIT ALL
MILITARY COAL FIELDS
FOR USE OF CIVILIANS
TOKIO, Jan. 31.—The authorities
n the Eaghallen administration con '
t mplate the establishment of a senil-i
'ff:c:al mining company. The bill j
relative to the proposed organization i
is now under investigation by the
Legislative bureau and will be intro-1
lured in the forthcoming session of I
the Diet. ]
According to the authorities the I
company will be established with aj
gross capital of sixty million yen |
half of which will be set apart a
flowing capital and raised through
general public subscription.
The company will be placed under!
the direct control of the chief of
the Saghallen administration. The
new concern has in view the explol
tat ion of the coal fields for civil pur
poses. These have long been sealed
by the military authorities for ex
clusive military uses against the
time of emergencies. The bill when
introduced in the Diet is expected to
give rise to an animated debate.
