How does his running differ from that of our athletes?” in The Star. These are persistent questions nowadays as the thou- sands who have not seen I\)u\ in action strive to gain from the thouvands who have seen him a description of this wonder runner of Finland, who spends night after night whipping America’s best athletes and setting one or more world records nearly cvery time he answers the starter’s pistol. And,'strangely. almost every answer they receive differs in certain important details. Some picture the phantom ‘Finn as pale, little man.” port him as a mighty-muscled ath'ete with the thigh development of a bicycle rider. Still others hold he s tall:and slin. - Paaya’s complexion is called “pa by some, while others say it carries the “rosy glow of a healthy boy form he employs in running draws its variety of answers A de- scription of Paavo based on a study of that young man which began five vears ago when he toed the mark for the Olympic 5,000-meter run at| Antwerp is given herewith—a de- scription which 0 a measure will account for the contrary impressions that now are going the rounds. ¥ the practicing—the Nurmi distinetly the better.

Paavo is a young man of moods, Behind the “poker fsce” a lot of things go on, and they are refected not in the expression, as is usually the case, but in the complexion Paavo came here *with no experi- ence in indoor foot racing to face the most difficult program ever attempted by a track athlete. He did not come as a carefree athlete secking the thrills and enjoyment of his favorite sport, but as the standard bearer of the Finnish nation, with the eye of every Finn upon him, and all Finland demanding that he continue under strange conditions and amid strange surroundings the remarkable career he started at home. It was that mental Paavo carried ‘with him into those earlier races in this country. And it| was reflected in his lined face #nd pasty skin, and led to the conflicting descriptions of him. But just recently in the Millrose games it was not a pasty-faced sunk- | en-cheeked Paavo who took the mark. | Paavo had found himself, He had mastered indoor racing and not only was living up to, but exceeding, the expectations of his people. | His worries were at an end. The | lines had vanished from his coun- | tenance; the hollow_cheeks had filled out to the normal condition of a high- 1y trained athlete; the skin had taken | on a rosicr hue, and Paavo appeared | more the typical Nordic 1 had seen in | the Antwerp Olymph games of five | years Ago. | The varving descriptions of Nurmi's | form in running can be charged to| the perhaps unconscious efforts of | the describers to see and accentudte only one or another of its particular phases.

Some say he lands heel-first on the ground; others that he lands on the ball of his foot; others that he runs flat-footed. All of Them Are Right. And all of them are right as far as they go, for Paavo does all of those things in the course of a race— the particular thing depending on what he sets himself to accomplish. | He adopts the forwardglean of the body and lands on the balls of his feet at the start of the race; assumes an upright stance as the race con- tinues and lands almost flat-footed or on his heels as the race progresses and in the final burst for the tape his body inclines slightly backward. In ghort, Paavo runs with his legs pnd allows his body to conform to Its natural inclination. The majority of his rivals, by ac- cepting the forward lean of the torso, driving the arms and landing on the balls of the feet, call upon all sec- tions of the anatomy to ald them at the task. In theory, the American jdea seems the sounder, but in practice—with Paave Nurmi doing B —— NAVY FENCERS SCORE.
