Athletics of To-Day 1929

Putting the Shot 337 are reversed simultaneously with the departure of the shot (see Picture No. 4, Plate 6o), and great care is taken to bring the right side of the foot against the stop-board at R3 and to have the right hip pointing in the direction of the put, as the left leg swings back and up to help to maintain the balance (see No. 2, Plate 6r). The shot is dispatched at an angle of 45 degrees, and the head is pressed back so that the eyes may follow the flight of the missile. X AM£Fa.ICAN STYL.E FIG. 48 sc~NOINAVIAN STVL.E F1o. 49 The beginning of the American glide is seen in Pictures Nos. r, 2 and 4, Plate 59· The delivery in Picture No. 4, Plate 6o, of Dr. R. S. Woods, C.U.A.C., shows fine finger and wrist work of right hand and that the reverse of the feet has already commenced. The left shoulder, however, should not have been dropped. Perfect action is that of J. Kuck (No. 2, Plate 6o). The finish of the reverse is seen in Picture No. 2, Plate 6r, in which Clarence Houser has got the outside of his right foot well against the stop-board at R3, and he' has also kept his left shoulder well up to the level of his right. z
