Research Backs Aesop Fable Race Not Always To The Swift
Iowa City May 2 A report from the University of Iowa laboratories presents evidence that the earliest starter is not guaranteed the finish in sprints. Graduate student Joseph D. Alexander uses an electric timing system to record start and finish with high precision, finding variations up to .26 seconds for 220 yards and .19 for 100. The study notes Eddie Tolan as a fast starter with a .14 second get away and shows timing devices may beat traditional stopwatches by a tenth of a second or more.
