GREAT CONTRAST AT PENN RELAYS Puvolllmlwyasmitol fhe Peerless Runer of 1934 Philadelphia, April 27 (PM—The Pennaylvania relay carnival closing ita dizzy whirl of competition today for some 3,000 athletes, has devel- oped one of the atrangest of con- trasts involving youth and age. ‘Where youth usually holds com- plete sway in this apring spree of track and field athieties, the picture this year of the opening day is that of & middle-aged foot-racer, still a marvelous piace of running ma- chinery although the razor-edge of speed seems unmistakably gone, sharing the spotlight with a brawny youth destined perhaps to be one of America's greatest all-round per- formers. + The principals are Paavo Nurmi, now around 33, only a shadow of the peerleas Paavo of 1924-25, and Bar- ney Berlinger, just come of voting age, with the brawny ability to break records all day long. Nurmi broke the American out- door two.mile record but his time ot 9:18 2-5 clipping two and two- ffthe seconds from the 17-year-old mark of a Cornell collegian, Tel Berna, was not so startling when it is realized that Paavo, at the height of his form in 1925, raced this dis- tance in 8:38 1-5 on an indoor track. ‘The old grace and rhythm are atill there. The Finn still has a wiry type of endurance, but the speed neces- sary for world's record perform- ances is missing. Like a father tak- ing his family out for an afternoon's canter, Nurmi gave a running lesson to a handful of youths yesterday as he leaped out in front, but Paavo found old man time a trifie more difticult to conquer, much more so than in the days when he was able tol?nu the old man on the ropes at will. Today Nurml was billed for an as- sault on the three-mile record, for which he holds the world mark of 14:11 1.8, Berlinger's star, by contrast, is sharply on the rise. The big Penn- sylvania sophomore turned in one of the ‘beat performance of his career yesterday when he won the inter- collegiate decathlon championship for the first time, beating his Okla- homa rival, Tom Churchill. by 135 points, and breaking the relay car- nival record. Berlinger, in spite of a lack of speed for the track events, performed brilliantly enough in the fleld to win three events, tie for first place {n another, and pile up a total of 7298.987 points. This bumped off the former record of 7236.5575 points, made by Vernon Kennedy of Missour] in 1917 Churchill, winner of the Kansas decathlon a week ago, who surpass- ed Berliager in the Olympic compe- tition last summer, finished second with 7163.928 points. The Oklahoma giant captured only one event, the discus, but gave Berlinger a battle all the way. These two were far ahead of the reat of the field of nine deoathlon contestants at the finish, although Everett Utterback, Univer- sity of Pittaburgh negro, sprang & Here Is the “Su finishers in order were George Wil- cewski, Boston college; Walter Gun- Alden Hol- Juniata college; and C.
