CONTESTS " AT GEDRGETOWN Nurmi and Ray Both on Card for Games Tonight Washington, Feb. 21.—Star ath- letes of indoor track and field games who have been making track history in recent competition in the east were gathering here today to stage the biggest sport carnival in the national capitol's history at the Georgetown university track méet tonight at convention hall. Paavo Nurmi, the Finnish mar- | vel, heads the list of talent from | the games, wtih the distance over which he will travel probably not to be determined until late today. Hugo Quist, Nurmi's manager, has announced that the I'inn would like to run over the 3,000 yard route, but has reserved the right to sect the distance at the last minute. Nurmi, in company with his man- ager; Minister Astrom of Finland, and other track stars and athletic officials had arranged to pay a visit ldurlng the day to the White House |to sce President Coolidge. If the record-breaking Finnish runner decides on a 3,000 yard race, he probably will be pitted against Verne Booth, of the Millrose A. C. of New York; Ilmar Prim and Gun- nar Nilsson of the Finnish-Amer- fean A. C. of New York, and William Cox of the 1924 Olympic team and scholastic cross country champion, Should the mile route be chosen, Nurmi is expected to face the plck of men entered in the 1500 meter event, who it is thought, will be withdrawn from that event to give the Finn formidable competition. In any event, the chances are that all will be given handicaps to make Nuemi extend himself for a record. A feature of the meet will be a 1500 invitation race, in which Joie Ray, Iliinois A. C. middle distance star; Lloyd Hahn, who recently es- tablished an indoor mile record, and Jimmy Connolly, former George- town star, are entered. 5 George Marsters, Hilltop half milers; Alan Helffrich, of Penn State and Ray Watson of the Illi~ nois A. C. are expected to make things hot in an 00 meter invita- tion race in which th: contestants will continue on to the half mile mark in an efiort to better the rec- | ord for that distance. | Other invitation numbers are the | 40 and 125 yard dashes in which “Boots” Lever and Iarrell of the New York A. C, and athers are to compete, and the 400 a;d 500 meter cvents that will bring out Dodge, Burgess, Driscoll, Devamey, Ascher, and Watson. Eight open races are listed, fo- gether with two races fir scholas- tics and three field contests—broad |} jump, high jump and sho: put. The winner of the broad jump will com- pete in a special match with Bob | Legendre, former Georgetywn ath- | lete who set a new world ricord for i the event in the last Olympics. Relay races will find Virginia competing aaginst Pennwlivania, | Princeton against Navy, and Mary- | land against its old rival, Johns| Hopkins. Eugene Bonniwdl of Philadelphia will referce.
