Gossip About Events of National j
Importance and the Persons
Who Are In the Head
Liner Classes.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 29. — Ego
tism is a cardinal virtue in the make
up of an aspirant for high track hon
ors, according to Boyd Comstock, who
has trained and coached some of the
best athletes that southern California
has produced. Comstock is not slow
in describing him in the argot of the
street as a “grandstander."
“A word of warning to the novice
who hopes to become a champion,”
said Comstock in a recent discussion
of the subject, "I would say that im
provement is not always marked by
consistent performing advancement.
He must remember that a seemingly
bad slump is nothing more or less
than the necessary step up the ladder
of progress. It is something to be ex
pected particularly to one who works
consistently.
“I believe that too great a respect
is given to record marks in the vari
ous events. I favor the reverse. Any
height, .distance or time that has been
made in fair competition can be
equalled or bettered by hundreds of
present day competing athletes if they
would allow their minds to get in the
proper condition.
"Your successful athlete is essen
tially an egotist and supremely con
fident of his own ability and prowess.
Slangly speaking, he is a "grand
stander,” and in this he should be en
| couraged. It all rests finally on what
i he can do, there can be no outside
j help, no teammate can cover up the
flagging stride, therefore the ego can
not be overdeveloped. Give me a man
with the imagination for future ath
; letic greatness and I will predict a
i future champion and get away with it.
"There is altogether too much atten
tion paid to the individual methods of
champions, who have developed a cer
I tain style and which is in a large
i measure wrong in one of more vital
j points and certainly should not be
j copied in its entirety until the points
I prove themselves beneficial. For in
stance, I have seen the winner of an
Olympic high jumping championship
using a form that would disgrace a
schoolboy. This is no reflection on
his ability, but it leaves the interest
ing probability of what he might have
done with a fair working knowledge
of form in his particular event.
"To become a champion in any
branch whether it be boxing or one of
the track or field events, the man
must either be blessed with excep
tional powers of endurance, strength
and what not, or make up for this de
ficiency in cleverness or knowledge.
It is to be regretted that the combi
nation of both is met with so seldom.
"Make a study of yourself, be your
own coach, analyze your weak and
strong points, take stock of what you
have.
A little common sense may not
come amiss and may unearth some
of the stumbling blocks in the way
of your progress.”
Many who saw the Lewis Santell
wrestling match recently, including
sport writers, declare that Lewis ob
tained his head-lock and face hold
which resulted in his victory, when
Santell roached down momentarily to
pull his trunks, and thus was off his
guard.
Lewis Is given due credit for being
wideawake enough to take advantage
af his opponent's lapse. Santell has
confirmed this as being the cause
of his defeat, and he directly attri
butes it to the rosin with which the
canvas was too liberally sprinkled,
and which worked into a slight abras
ion of the skin on his knee. The
trunks stuck at the sore spot, when
Santell, in order to relieve the pain,
pulled at his tights. While his op
ponent's hands were down, Lewis was
upon him like a flash.
It is said to be rare when a wrestler
goes to the floor having the hold which
results in his victory; the hold which
usually eventually wins in a fall gen
erally being obtained on the mat.
