Follows Careful Routine
Under the vigilant eye of Coach
Riley he goes through this rou
tine three days a week;
First day—440-yard jog, calisthen
ics to strengthen stomach and chest
muscles, quarter mile run, two 50
yard dashes, half hour of practice
starts, and a fast 50-yard dash to
polish off the day.
Second day—All of this plus two
broad jumps. Never more than two
because he doesn't want to de
velop tender heels.
Third day—A long jog, setting up
exercises, 100-yard dash, then 300
yards at top speed.
Working on Two Faults
That is all, but Owens is try
ing steadily to eliminate two faults,
one a tendency to straighten up
two quickly at the start, and the
other to clinch the fists in a
sprint, a fault that causes him to
' tighten up."
Owens already owns 83 medals,
four cups, six shields and innum
erable ribbons for his track per
i fcrmances. He specializes in the
100 and 200 and broad jump.
