Paavo Nurmi Maps Out Track Campaign Through East and Middlewest States - 1 Finnish Athlete : Greatest of All : Distance Runners i Will Compete in Annual Mn •nicipal A. A. Games in Madison Square Garden Next Friday. By Assorlatwl 1’resa. EW YORK, .Ian 7.—Not content with reaching heights of fame anil brilliancy such as no othei star In track hi* lory has over reached, Paavr Nurmi, erstwhile i paperhauger ol Helsingfors, who raced lo world’* record glory Iasi night in hi* American debut, lias mapped out a campaign whit'll «ill carry his flying feci throughout a good portion of the east and middle west dining the next few months. ..The phantom Finn will make III* next appearance a week from tonight, when he competes in a special race at the municipal A. A. games on the Madison Square Garden track, which he trod last night in conquering his foremost rivals, .loie Ray and Willie Ritola, and smashing three world's marks in two races. ’ The keynote of the superlative com ment showered upon N’urml was rec ognition of the ease with which he vion his first two American races last rHght, looking over his shoulder and easing up as he led Ray to the finish in the greatest mile ever run indoors, and less than two hours later, sprint ing away from his countryman, Ri tola, at 5,000 meters In a second hurst of world's record speed. His achievement was all the more re itfarkable In the light, of the fact that lioih Ray and Ritola, giving every ounce of their speed and stamina, Were themselves inside the records Which Nurmi displaced. It\ the mile, Nurmi. Ray, Lloyd Hahn and Jimmy tjonnelly, who finished in that order, ajl were inside 4:17, an unprecedented occurrence In the memory ol track veterans. » Nurmi, himself, commenting brief ly on his races, substantiated the {nipression that he was not extend ed in either event, although It ■narked his first competitive appear ance indoors. The graceful, fric t ionics* rhythm of his space-devour ing stride, his wonderful stamina and apparently boundless reserve speed astounded old-timers and demonslrated that Nurmi, in apitc of swift changes in climate and con dilions, hud lost none of the daz zling speed he flashed in the Olym pics six months ago. Yelerans who saw Nurmi last night for the first time were prac tically unanimous in proclaiming him the greatest of all distanre run ners, including such stars of by gons days as Alfred Shrubb, the famous Englishman; Ilannes Koh lehmaincn, another Finn, whose star faded into oblivion in the last Olympirs; Mel Sheppard, noted mid dle-distance are, and such famous inilers as John Paul Jones, Norman Taber and Abel Kiviat. Sheppard was among the stars of other days who saw Nurmi last night. A. A. lr. officials, who contributed much to the stjeress of the Finnish American games, left no doubt of the official sanction for Nurmi's records as well as the three sprint marks hung up by Loren Murchison, and the 500-meter record set by Alan Helf frich. Record applications were made out at the conclusion of the meet with such dispatch that Nurmi, when asked to sign his blanks, manifested aston lshment. It takes at least a year In Finland, he said, to pass upon records ‘ONE-STEP’ WATSON TO FIGHT RIDDLE “One-Step” Watson. Omaha negro fighter, leaves tonight for Denver, where he hag been matched to meet Ace Riddle of Indianapolis In a bout Friday night. Charlie Dong, another Omaha ne gro fighter, meets “Speedball” Hay den of C'a/iper, Wyo.r In the aemi wtndup of the Denver show. Don Dong and Kddie Mack meet In the main event.

By “WAG." HE 1924 football season is history, but be fore closing the record books It might be of gome interest to you, Mr. and Mrs. Read er, to learn some thing more of the Notre Dame grid iron record. Notre Dame has i halked tip 23 suc ceslve victories under Knute __ Rockne's coaching and New year's day piled up its 10th straight victory for the last season. Nebraska was the last team to de feat. Notre Dame. The Cornhuskers beat the Rockne-coached eleven. 14 to 7, in 1923, and since that defeat Notre Dame has plowed through 13 opponents to victory. Not a bad record, but a mighty good one. Followers of the University of Nebraska who saw the pride of Htiskerland crushed by (he “Four Horscipen and Seven Mules” last fall, get a little satisfaction out of tlie fact that Nebraska is the only university or college in the country that has defeated Notre Dame twice. Iowa and Michigan Aggies are the other srhools to hold vic tories over Notre Dame, each gain ing one victory. Since Rockne took over the coach ing reins in 1918 the South Bend In stitution has won 58 games, lost four and tied three. Besides the vic tories of Nebraska, Iowa and Michi gan Aftgies over Notre Dame, the Great Igikes, Nebraska and Army teams have played Rockne's teams to tie scores. Only 10 of 65 opponents have scored In double figures. Notre Dame has scored 1,756 points, against 2S8 for opponents. Eleven victories and one tie In a dozen starts against eastern teams, four straight over southern elevens, and 13 out of 14 with west ern conference teams is Notre Dame a record. This year was the first time a Notre Dame eleven Journeyed out to the Pacific coast for a football game. The only time a western conference team heat Notre Dame was In 1921, when the ' Rig Ten" champions. Iowa university, trimmed the South Rend era, 15 to 7. The Devine brothers (Glen and Aubrey). “Duke" Slater, Negro (tackle) and Beldlng lendt were members of the Hawkeys team that year. It was the only time Notre Dame and Iowa met on the gridiron.
