The father, possi- bly because of lack of opportunity incentive, never had disclosed inter- est or skill in any line of sport, nor could athletic excellence be traced farther back in the Nurmi line. As fishermen and farmers the Nurmis wers @ sturdy race, but strength of arm rather than speed limb had been their outstanding physical qual- sty Some attributed Paavo's feat as ten-year-old to strict adherence to a vegetable diet, for the Nurmi family were vegetarians and it was not until his eighteenth birthday that Paavo learned the t id developed his liking for meats He Makes Up His Mind. £ was 0o youns to at- nt for it.

They would not consider his petitions to enter the weekly meets. Boys of Paavo's size and age had realized the futility of attempting to match strides with their fellow and Paavo, who loved to run and belleved he had an athletic mission to fulflll, was forced to con- tent himself with daily scampers along the Abo thoroughfares or oyer the flelds and hiils 1t was in those early years that he doveloped the custom of carrving a watch—a cheap little timepiece in those days—whilo he ran. Paavo's opponent was the minute hand and thers was the real thrill of victory when he reached a given point a frac- tion earlier than the time he had set for the mark Finns Score in 1913 Meet. In the meantime two Olympic meets had come and gone. There was the 1808 meet in London, which caught the Finns not quite fully prepared for atrenuous international competition and turned away without a single first place trophy. Then had fol- lowed the 1812 games at Stockholm, §n which Paavo's countrymen, led by Kolehmalne aristo and Tiapale, xcored first places in six of the events. second and third places in others, definitely brought their little nation —Finland has less population than the city of New York—to the position of serious contender for Olympic top honors. That latter se little outside en- the the next six Abo Urheilullitto attempting to tralning and the senior attained accomplishment stirred anew Paavo's ambition. But in these years he was not allowed to neglect an occupation which would serve him When his athletic days were done. He continued in the Abo grammar achool until he was graduated at the age of 15, and tuen served as sort of an apprentice with an engineering concern until he was 18. That, it a custom In Fin- Jand. The boy upon completeing his elementary school course decldes, or is told by his parents, what trade or business to learn, and serves three vears as an apprentice. Then his school and working records are sub- mitted to a government official, and the boy who shows the best record is sent to a college which sp. in the work he has followed. Was Graduated When 21. Paavo picked draftsmanship, was warded a three-vear scholarship in the Abo Technical Institute and was sraduated a full-fledged mechanical draftsman and engineer at 21 it was the year before he entered the fnstitute that Paavo engaged in his first championship race—the 3,000~ meter run in the Finnish junior na- tional championships Helsingfors in 1914, Earlier in that vear letic Association—the Urheiluliitto— hiad admitted him to membership. Its officials believed he had attained the development necessary to make his atart in open competition, and Paavo celebrated that event regularly each week by winning one or more Sunday races on the now much improved track fn his native town They were real victories, feap affairs, for Finland's athletic officials disagree with A.

BOSTON, February 2.—Joie | Saturday night won race at the Boston Athletic Associ: tion games, has announced that he is anxious to retire from active ama teur competition, and would seek a position as a track and fleld coach. Ray, who the Hunter mile IN THE HAT 14-14 b: game andria High School girls in basket 1 forged ahead at the beginning of play and through dint of stead: ful playing maintained a comfortable lead during the first hali. But in the third quarter the Virginians rallied and carried on to a tie. Miss Duke starred for Holton Arms, rolling in 13 points. Miss Chilcotte and her substitute, Miss Williamson, accounted for 10 points for the high school, while Miss Crump netted 4. Holton Arms goes into action ag: on Wednesday afterncon, when it meets Eastman at the Epiphany gym at 4 o'clock. Since the Tuesday preceding Christ- mas, when Hine sextet bowed to the superior Macfarland tossers, Hine ted and primed itself for the re- turn game, played last Tuesday. And |Hine “came back” with a 16-to-15 | victory. Hine started briskly and | was well out in front most of the way, maintaining a 5-point lead at the end of the first half and a 6-point lead at the énd of the third quarter. Then the Macfarland athletes turned the tables on the home players and be- came masters of the situation for a while, but too late to more than throw |a big scare into the Hine sextet. The Macfarland girls took their defeat as one would expect a champion play- |8round team of the best of sports to do. With the exception of one girl, Macfarland was the unbeaten Iowa avenue playground team. Clara Al- derton, Virginia Monk, Catherine Jones, Priscilla Storey and Mildred Vogel were in the Red and White line-up. Mildred King, the other for- mer lowa avenue player, now is at Tech. At 7 o'clock Tuesdays, at Wil- son Normal, these same girls, as the Triangular Club, direct their on- slaught against other junior basket ball team. o Hine's victory over Macfarland puts it in a tie for first place with the |latter in the junior high school series and indicates a prosperous sec- ond-semester basket ball situation for Hine tossers. At the beginning of the season, without any contention, Macfarland was granted to be the best team, but now Hine must be reckoned with. Hine has lost by recent graduation lonly three of more than a dozen good |basket ball players, while Macfar- land, Langley and Columbia, have each lost a considerable lot of their best players. Jefferson Junior High still is a dark horse in the race. Athletic homor awards contributed an interesting feature to the class day programs of the midyear gradu- ating classes of Langley and Hine junior highs. As Langley is losing more of its star players than Hine, the former granted more school let- ters. These were awarded to Louise Scott, Margaret Shull, Elizabeth Clary, HBlizabeth Franzon and Grace Corn- ish. Hine honored just two girls at this time, Betty Martin, captain, and Sylvia Etchison, manager.

For the remainder of the contest the Palace tossers loafed along, giving an exhibition of pass- ing, and frequently caging the ball from outside the visitors' line of de- fense. Benzonl and Conaty were the stars of the occasion, the former contrib- uting eeven fleld goals and the lat- ter a half dozen. Messinger, Rochester's substitute guard, displaved-a bit of class in the final period when he dropped the ball through the hoop three times from the floor. Barlier in the day the New team had scored a 30-to-28 over the 104th Medical quint in Baltimore.

Girls of the other vears, meriting their school letters, will receive them about the middle of February, at special athletic as- sembli. For various administrative reasons Columbia and Macfarland did not award letters at this time. Jeff- erson was too young an institution to boast a February graduating class. Tech busketers selected Tuesday as a gala athletic date. That day was the “grande finale” of the basket ball season, and red letter day for the sophomore sextet. This class defi- nitely established for itself a high place in basket ball annals by beating the junior class representatives in the last game of the interclass series, 42 to 30, thus becoming school cham- pion. The following girls were able to combine good academic work with superior athletic skill and thus re- ceive the coveted school “T": Grace Moomaw, captain; Octa Buehanan, manager; Louise Buddekd, Marion Weed and Barbara Mitchel, all mem- bers of the sophomore squad. Other outstanding players of the cla s were Annette Crowley and Clare Wise. Feminine members of the Langley and Hine Junior High faculties are about to take the lead In faculty basket ball activities. Both have played off-practice games against their respective intra-school teams. The faculty teams have won to date, but the Hine faculty manager di- vulged the fact that they borrowed their school's best girl center to use as their pivot player. To Satisfy the eager curiosity about each other's athletic handicaps & match has been scheduled between the ambitious faculties for the second Tuesday of the month at Hine. The Women's Athletic Council now is enjoying its latest and one of its most important regulations—that of a thorough physical examination for all girls engaged in active sports sponsored by the council. Dr. Joseph Murphy of the District Health Serv- ice has been appointed to take charge of this work. As soon as he is able to get in touch with the managers of the basket ball teams he will start his examinations.
