That athletic as- sociation had sponsored his first ap- pearance in competitive sport, and out of loyalty to it. as well as through the wish that his future triumphs would reflect glory on hi home town, Paavo felt the Abo uni- form was the only one he should | wear in Finnish track competition This somewhat annoyed the Hel- singfors athletic folk. They argued that Helsingfors was his residen and he should compete as a repre- sentative of that municipality. Paave was adamant, however. To this day he is an Abo representative. Ask Paavo what club he runs for and he will reply, “The Abo Urheiluliitto, of course.” Nation United in Athletic The issuc might have become seri- ous had not the Antwerp Olympic games been a step away, but in mat- ters of international athletics Fin- land is a united nation There is continuous controversy on the question of a national language. One section of the little country em- ploys only the ancient, and, to out- siders, difficult Finnish tongue, while another conducts all its communic tion in Swedish. All public notices must be printed in both Finnish and Swedish to reach the Finnish public. In politics differences equally strik- ing and even more complicated are to be found. This is evidenced on this side of the Atlantic, for in New York City, where there are less than 4,000 Finns, six newspapers, four printed in Finnish and two printed in Swed- ish, cater to the Aivided interests, The uniting of all factions in the preparation for the Antwerp Olym- pics and Helsingfors' appreciation of the athlet potentialities of Paavo Nurmi check serious complica- tions over Paavo's decision to' eling to the faded track uniform of the Abo Urheiluliitto Paavo knew that if he was to match the 1912 Olympic record of Hannes Kolehmainen he must develop tamina as well as speed and must make himself equall distances varying to 10,000 meters, ficient over ,000 meters for the flat races on the Antwerp program specified those two distances and the cross- country run also was to be a 10,000~ meter affair. Aims to Develop Stamina. e had covered such courses in his road races and in Abo meets, but pr from the bulk of his ecarlier competition had ‘been in the Finnish middle dis- tances—1,000 to 2,000 meters. He decided to increase the length of his practice runs and to develop stamina by conducting a cross-country spin of half an hour each day, and he be- gan to give serious consideration to his diet “In Finland,” athletes really Paavo says, “the develop themselves. There are no hard and fast rules laid down as regards form or diet. Track and field athletics constitute the national sport of my country just as base ball is the national sport of Amerlca, and every youngster is ambitious to make himself proficient The athletic authorities post certain general rules which should be fol- lowed, but there is no attempt, as in this country, to make a man start from just this or that stance, hold his body in this or that manner, swing his arms this way or that way. The younger athletes nagurally study the styles of the older ones and may strive to copy them, but omplishing a given task in the best time or with the best mark is the aim, not a stilted following of a| set form. “In diet the same freedom prevails. The athletes learn their own require- ments. The requirements for one are not the requirements of another. Cer- tain kinds or quantities of food have different effects upon different indi- viduals, so why should one conform to a given diet “The effects of alcoholic beverages are generally known and none with his athletic future in view will in- duige in them. Very early in my life I decided I must eschew anything of that sort if I was to make my mark in the world, and I think_ that deci sion has been a wise one. But I have allowed myself freedom in other re- spects Eats Ordinary Fare. - “Because my family Wwere vege- tarians 1 did not taste meats of any kind until T was 15. That was the vear 1 entered the Abo Technical Tnstitute and 1 could continue a strict vege- tarian only by refusing the food set before me. 1 found I liked meat and learned it agreed with me. I found 1 liked coffee also and that that did not affect my running. IR act, I rned that a normal, everyday diet in guantity somewhat larger than the average person’s was all that was necessary to keep me fit. Your coaches and athletic advisers probably will frown on my cofee- drinking and argue against other in my training menu. One of them looked shocked when he found me eating an apple between races at the Finnish-American games. Maybe T'm blessed with a digestive system of extraordinary quality, but I cer- tainly could not conform to your rules of dict and accomplish what I do in athletics.

RAY DEFIES NURMI FOR RACE AT MILE ——— NEW YORK, February 5—Paavo Nfrmi, whose conquests have startled the track world, has been challenged.

Yet once more | the little Chicagoan offers to fight for |the return of a portion of .his hard- | won laurels. He would regain the mile record.

Most of them lare pretty fast on the steel run- ners, and it it e N means a hot - 3 chase to catch ELSIE MULLER, them. But there always is a thrill in a chase: in the sight of others Boing ax fast as they can and you cutting down the distance stroke by stroke. There is a thrill in that even greater than in the sense of speed. And when you catch up and flash by them to victory it brings a proud tingle all through. Of course, there are degrees of satisfaction, and the faster your opponent is the greaeer thrill there is in winning from her. T've sald that all my victories ®ave me a thrill. but the greatest, of course, was in beating Gladys Robinxon ,of Toronto. MY GREATEST THRILL IN SPORT American Woman Speed Skating Champion. MULLER, In 1923 Miss Robinson won all the national and international champion- ships worth mentioning. She ranked with Art Staff, the professional champion, and Charley Jewstraw of Lake Placid, who set so many rec- ords among the amateurs. She was the Jack Dempsey and Babe Ruth of woman's skating, and no one else was conceded a chance against her. 1 beat her in a 440-yard cham- plonship race last Winter, though 1 had to xet a mew American rec- ord to do it. The thrill of that! Metropolitan championships and records were noth- ing to it at all. There had been plenty of other victories on my docket, but none to compare with that. Better yet, 1 had to come from behind to win, and when I flashed over the line a winner I wouldn't have changed place with the em- cror of the world, if there ix such a person. Of course, 1 didn’t know then that I had set a new record, though I realized that T was going faster and trying harder than I had ever done before. When they told me that I was a record-holder in addition to being ampion at the distance, my % were entirely too com- plex to describe. That moment was certainly my biggest thrill.

Fisher, for the past six seasons head coach of the Harvard varsity foot ball team, has requested the Harvard athletic committee not to consider his reappointment as head coach, it was announced here by the committee in accepting his resignation. The committee also an- nounced that as yet no one has been chosen to flll his place. Fisher, who had directed Harvard teams to four victorles over Yale while coaching two losing teams against the Elfs, wrote the committee that he wished to devote his entire time to business. In accepting his resignation the committec passed resolutions praising his record. Probable successors to Fisher from the ranks of former Harvard stars have been mentioned, including Hunt- ington R. Hardwick, former back and end; Walter H. Trumball, former guard; Edward W. Mahan, all-Ameri- can back for three years and captain February in 1915, and Leo H. Leary, who for several years coached ends under Percy D. Haughton. All the men suggested were trained under the Haughton system, of which Fisher was also a product. Maj. Charles D. Daley, U. S. A, re- cently assigned to command of the Harvard reserve officers training corps, has also been named as a possible candldate. The athletic committee, while not indicating any choice of hewd coach, has already denied that Maj. Daley has been designated. DETROIT U. GETS DORAIS.
