Noting our prediction of an lympic marathon conquest for peerless Paavo Nurmi this year, Maxwell Stiles of the Los Angeles Examiner contributes this informa- tion for the benefit of Paavo and , the rest of us: “Nurmi's chief rival in the mara- thon may be the great Japanese runner, Seiji Takahashi, who has covered the distance (26 miles, 385 yards) in 2 hours, 34 minutes, 30 onds, and consistently beaten two countrymen, Tsuda and who placed sixth and ctively, at Amsterdam. b with 2:35:24, is also ted better than Tsuda and Ya- “If Nurmi can win the classic marathon he will have climaxeo the greatest career in the history of sports with the greatest achieve- le for an Olympic ath- 12 Miles Per Hour The best ever registered for the Olympic marathon was 2:32:- 35 4-5, in 1920 at Antwerp by + Hannes Kolehmainen, the first of Finland's internationally famous tance runners and the best wn up to Nurmi's time. t was at the same games that as a 22-year-old phenome- non, first broke into the ranks of Olympic champions. El Oufi, the African, won the 1928 marathon in 2:32:57. It's a long grind and a tough one, this marathon, but if Paavo L Jays off the veal pie beforehand and d 't experience any cramps Or foot blisters, I believe he can romp the route in the hitherto unheard time of 2 hours and 15 minutes. The best of the marathon plod- average around 10 miles an On a regular track the dis- tance has been done in less than 2 hours and 30 minutes. T would figure Nurmi capable of doing close to 12 miles an hour. T may be prejudiced in favor of the silent Finn, but I have seen him run two miles in 8:58 1-5 after spending two previous nights in pullman perths and I have watched him romp over the countryside in weath- er and under conditions that made such great runners as Wide and Ritola look like selling platers. No one may ever know how fast or how far Nurmi can run when he really sets his mind to it. One of the few record attempts that really ever interested him for any length of time was the mark for greatest distance covered in one hour. Nobody else seemed to care very much about this, but Paavo satis- |fied himself by running almost 12 miles—11 miles, 1648 yards—in a 60-minute gallop at Berlin in 1928. ALABAMA GETS ST.
