Boy Is Tiger Basket Ball Star | SET PAIR OF RECORDS IN VANQUISHING WIDE " Paavo Hung Up New World Marks for 1,500 Meters and Mile During Thrilling Event. PAAVO NURMI'S STORY As Told by Him to Charles E. Parker o CHAPTER 10—BEATING I regards as the most Aotewo Stockholm Stadium. That arena has a particular ap Hannes Kolehmainen made Olympic UNBEATABLE RECORDS. HE scene of Paavo Nurmi's race with Elyin WWide—the race Paavo rthy in his brilliant career—was the peal to all Finns. It was there that history by racing to victories in three of the most taxing tests on the Olympic program of 1912. 1t was there and by reason of Kolehmainen's work, and the efforts of € aristo. Peltonen and others that Finland very definitely took its place as one of the leading athletic nations of the world—the leading athletic nation of the world in per capita-Olympic accomplishments. . As an American youth might be inspired in visiting the battle scenes of the Revolution, so Paavo was inspired when he stepped into the Stock- holm Coliseum ; ays be August 22, 1923, Paavo found it diffic He danced along its hard-packed cinders, tested h time twice a da his mind the and established in points along the route whera he would check his pace with the stop- watch he was to carry. He found the track far stperior to those in Finland Stockholm awaited the day fretful- lv. -lts ‘people were confident the adopted fellow citizen, Wide, would take the measure of Nurmi Thev be- sieged the group of Finns who had ac- companied Paavo with offérs to wager on the race, and Paavo's friends ac- commodated them. And when the great day arrived the stadium was packed* A noisy, throng it was. silence reigned as the two great foot racers were called to the mark for their instructions, Paave Plans Strategy. Paavo had mapped out a definite program for the early portion of the | race, but had decided to let condi- tion govern the later stages. His pian. called for a fast 400 meters at the start and only a siight letting up In the second 400. What Wide's plan was Paavo did not know. Paavo admits he was somewhat nervous as he crouched on the start- ing mark. Never before had he seen sieh a throng and the majority desir- d his defeat. He was the standard- hearer of his nation. All Finland look- #d to him. Then too, Wide in all prob- Zhilities would be Sweden's repre- ssntative In the Colombes Olympic games, less than a vear away, and a vietory over him in the matched race could not but have Its effect in as- suring other triumphs when they met in_the Olympies But Paavo had little time to ponder these items as he stepped to the line and found solid and unylelding pur- chase for his spiked running sho Then the pistol barked. A roar came from Swedish throats as Paavo and Wide leaped from the mark, for Wide had jumped with the gun and was out in front with the first stride. : Wide Setx Terrific Pace. The speed Paavo had set for the first | Jap of the race was fast, but it was not nearly so fast as the race Wide was 1raveling, and the Swedish rooters were in ecstacies as their compatriot added fnoh by inch to his advantage until he was leading the Finn by § yards as the first circling of the track was completed. But Paavo, who had etudied Wide's work, was convinced the latter could not continue throughout the full course the Race he then was setting. In the par- Yince of track athletics, Paavo knew Wide must come back to him. And the second lap scarcely had be- gun before Nurmi started closing the gap. That lap was not completed be- fore Paavo was in the van and edging awaya Wide did not lose heart. He sum- moned his energy, pulled up to within a stride of Paavo and hung to the latter's shoulder during the third lap. It was hard work for him. Still he fought on, hoping for a break in Paavo's pace. He thought that chance was at hand at the start of the fourth lap and un- Joosed what he believed would be a win- ning burst of speed. But Paavo sensed the challenge and answered it as it was fssued. As he answered it they flashed * by the 1,500-meter mark to the clicking of six stop-watches, and befors Paavo concluded his answer the mile mark had heen cleared, with Nurmi a good 8 yards in the lead, and the little Finnish contingent acting like a group of mad- men in the stadium stands. . Two Records at Once. But ‘the thrill of the thing did not end with the victory. An excited con- ference was going on among the offi- cial timers, and the monster gallery held its seats. When this conference ended, the announcer stepped to the center of the arena. raised his mega- phone and informed the throng that the world records had been shattered both at the 1,500-meter mark and the mile. Paavo's time for the former was 3 minutes and 53 seconds, nearly 2 sec- onds faster than J. Zander's record made in 1917. Paavo's time for a mile was 4 minutes and 102-5 seconds, a mark more than 2 seconds faster . than Norman Taber's supposedly un- heatable record, made in 1916. (Copyright, 1925, 1a United States.

One's greatest fancy, must ever come because of a thrill in sport, 1 direct connection with the sporting event in which the thrill came; oth- e T erwise there is lacking that sersonal interest vhence comes the thrill. In 1922 T was coaching the Unlversity ot Pennsylvama foot ball eleven. We had a very strong Navy team on our schedule, and both teams had won all their 3. w. HEISMAN.

Accordingly, both had made most careful and elaborate prep- arations to that end, while interest enthusinsm at both institutions over the pending battle ran mounta high. The proper composition of our team was not difficult to arrive at, with but one exception, and that was whether Capt. “Poss” Miller should start the game at right half or some one else. Miller had ‘been off his game all season, but I was certain that he would hit his stride in this game. Naturally, I insisted on his starting at his old position, despite the conviction of my assistants that it would be better to select another man. 1 knew he was still my one Dbest bet and I felt if he were not the man to lead the team to victory no one else could do it. So I insisted. The first half was all Navy. We went on defense and let them have the ball/ To everybody but myself I know the case looked hopeless. They hammered us all the way down fleld for a touchdown and goal. Go- ing out on the field for the second half, I told Miller that now was our time to test out our own offense and that we would not play a kicking game any longer, as I was sure we had tired them a lot and could now gain ground ourselves. I told Miller to run himself as much as he could stand, and I gave him an encouraging slap to let him know I still had every confidence in the world -in him, He carried out instructions to the very letter.

As soon as Connally heard Ray was to start in the 1,500-meter race, in came his entry for, the same event and with it an expression of confidence in his ability to give the Illinois marvel a tough tul Connolly now conaid- ers himselt at the top of his form and ready to run the race of his life againat Jole. “Ray is without a question one of the greatest milers of the country,” Connolly says, “and untll 1 saw Nurmi run at Paris and later in these United States 1 was under the im- pression he was the greatest in the world. I did not believe it possible for any human to beat the Illinois man at his favorite distance—the mile. But after I saw Nurmi shove his dost at Ray in the Olymplcs at Paris [ figured others could do so “Now, Jole has licked me decisively on several occasions, but I have never run better than 1 have been running this Winter and I believe that coming into Convention Hall in | the same form in which I have been | rupning lately I should have better at the finish of the 1,500-meter race.” Tickets for the meet, which I3 ex- pected to be the most attractive ever | staged by the Georgetown Athletic Association, were placed on public sale this morning at Spalding’s store, 1338 G street.

SEATS FOR 110,000 AT SPORT STADIUM NEW YORK., February 11.—Hen- derson’s crater, a sport stadium now heing erected 'in Long Island City, will cost $200,000 and will accommo- data 110,000 persons at & boxing bout, {according to specifications filed with | civie authorities. | The promoters announced vesterday that work on the upper structure of the bowl will be started as soon as weather permits, with a bout for the heavyweight champlon, Jack Demp- sey, In prospect. although Tex Rick- ard, Madison Square Garden pro- moter and reported lessee of the Yankee Stadium, claims that Demp- sey will appear for him.

Every time he carried the ball he suined from 3 to 8 yards, and he called for it about two times out of every three that it went into play. Crear down to Navy's 14-yard line it went on the straightest kind of foot ball. And then and there Miller recognized, by the ald of a perfect intuition, that the Navy defense had stiffened and that it would be all but an {mpossibility for him or the team to muster enough strength to con- tinue his drive long enough to get it over that remaining 14 yards of arid desert by straight ramming. Breaking all rules, he ranning pass, by the other half to himself, on the first down. Grimly determined to stop these running at tacks, the Navy yers sprang in ke wolves to r the interference to pleces, and Just an they did the! ball went sailing over’ their heads, right into Miller's upraised arms. Two Navy men fled him just as he fell eross the goal line. A meome: That wonderful display of grit, that marvelous comeback by & man who realized he had been falling down in his play, who knew that his foot ball life was hanging in the balance, who knew there were more folks who thought hes ought not to bé in the line-up than those who figured he should, the desire to prove himself for his own sake, that lightning, flashing vindication against frightfui :):alr;l—yu, that was my greatest rill. “Poss” Miller then went ahead and did 1t all over agaim—oarried the ball almoat single-handed the length of the fleld to another and winning touchdown. Bat that, by now, I almost expected, I knew that nothing could stop him for the atnder of that day. And s0 the thrill I got out of his second touchdown, even though it won the game, was nothing like the one I got out of his first grand march. ;Po:;,' acréss the years, 1 shake your and.

ESPITE the comparatively new two-major-sports rule, the high school basket ball championship series that ended yesterday when Central took the title by downing Western, 24 to 13, after Tech had put Eastern, champion for the past two seasons, out of the running with a 20-to-18 drubbing, held as many thrills as the followers of the sport could desire. Instead of the cut-and-dried series that many expected as a result of the holding out of certain stellar athletes for other branches of sport, the performances of three evenly matched teams kept every one on edge until the last minute. And two upsets, occasioned by the rejuve- nation of the Tech five, considerably stimulated the interest. Back in the Fall, Coach Dan Ahearn of Western was quoted as saying that because of lack of material the Georgetown school probably would not be represented in the annual serle According to the papers, Coach Coggins also was having his troubles at Central, scholastic dif- culties and lack of a pragtice floor being likely to prevent his team from becoming serious contenders in the championship play. At 5 o'clock yesterday teams tutored by these two were facing each other in the George Washington court with the 1925 title at stake, while the East- ern quint, twice champlons of the District and favorites this year after Western's winning streak had been stopped, had gone to the showers try- ing to forget the defeat administered by the Manual Training five. ‘Wins in Third Period. Lightning passing and accurate shooting in the third period carried Central to victory. Reopening the play after the long intermission, with the score standing 6 to 5 in their tavor the fast Blue and White players broke through the Western offense and rang up 14 points while holding their opponents scoreless. .Hale and Dezendorf were the heavy scor: the latter making two difficult ov head shots. In the closing quarter Central took things easier, and brought in only a quartet of additional counters while Western was collecting_eight. Mec- Diarmid, who has been fllling in the position formerly occupled by Gich- ner, made more than half of the Red and White geam's points, three fleld &oals and a free toss being credited to him. While falling to bring them into champlionship consideration, the vic- tory of the Manual Tralners over the East Capitol street five was a worthy one, and brightens considerably thelr court prospects for next mseason: Councilor ran wild again, dribbling nd passing with accuracy and @peed, and at the same time held Bennle. Eaatirn's scoring ace, to a pair of baskets. Croson, the tall Tech center, was the bulwark of the defense, sticking close to the Eastern basket and hreaking up the shots of the Eastern forwards.

AUGUSTINE, Fla, February 11.—Eleanor Garratti, a 15-year-old girl representing San Rafael, Callif., scored one of the biggest upsets ever recorded in swimming history when she captured the 50-yard title in the swim-off of a dead heat at the open- ing of the national indoor champlon- ships in the pool of the Alcazar A. A. She beat the best in the country and in the final heat led home Ethel Lackie and Gertrude Ederle, both of the Women's Swimming Association, New York City, who finished in that orde The firat race of the final heat re- sulted in one of those rarieties in any athletic competition—a three-cornered dead heat—with Misses Garratti, Lackie and Ederle touching the finish mark at exactly the same moment. The dead heat required a swim-off and Miss Garratti touched a fraction of & second before Miss Lackie, who was a foot in advance of Miss Ederle. The time was 0.284-5, which equals the world record for the conditions— a 50-vard race in a 90-foot tank. Miss Garratti first started swim- ming I August, taking up the sport for & nervous amiction. In her semi-final she defeated Helen Walnwright and Adelaide Lambert The other champlonship event, the pentathlon title, résulted in a hollow victory for Helen Wainwright, noted atar of the New York Women's Swimming Association. She won in a fleld of seven, with the remarkably low total of 8% points. Aileen Riggin of the same club was second with 12 pointa and Miss is O'Mara, another New Yorker, hird with 16 points. Wainwright won two of the five events composing the difficult championship test. Bhe triumphed in the 60-yard free style swim as well as the 200-yard swim. In addition Miss Wainwright was second in the 50-yara back stroke and fancy dive and third in the 50-yard breast stroke. Miss Riggin was first in the events in which Miss Wainwright was second. Her greatest perform- ance aside from her trfumphs was her showing in the dive, where she ncored 67.32 points to 67.33 for Mis: Riggin, the winner. New York won the two open events which were held in addition to the championship tests. ‘Martha Norelius, unattached, captured the 150-yard frea-atvlie ovent, while Agnés aghty was the winner in the 300-vard breast-stroke event.
