Young VikIu. *0 round* in Manila, Admirers of Lloyd Hahn Believe Championship in Store for Nebraskan Falla City, Neb.. Jan. 3 0.—Falls City friends of Lloyd Hahn now'see a world championship in sight for the Nebraska Olympic fitar as a re suit of his sensational race at Madi son Square Garden last Tuesday night despite the fai t that he finish ed third to the great Paavo Nurmi, with Joie Ray a step ahead. Local admirers hailed the results of Tuesday's race as a great victory, for In finishing In third place Hahn broke the previous record of 4:14 3 5 held by Joie Ray. They believe that It ts not entirel?’ impossible that Hahn will take Nurmi's measure be fore the Finnish superman's Amer ican campaign is over. They point out that Hahn is still improving, having clipped nearly 5 second* from lost year's mark of 4:19, while the Finn is probably at the peak of his career. In two years Hahn has clip ped 6 seconds front his record, run ning the rtiile in 4:20 in 1923, 4:19 In 1924 and 4:14 1-5 last Tuesday night. Falls City admirers of Hahn insist that the title of ‘'superman'’ should he applied to the Nebraskan even more so than to the Finn. Nurmi is a tried veteran of many campaigns, having been an Olympic winner as far back as 1920. Hahn, on the other hand, never ran a distance race until 18 months ago and did not go into training for last Tuesday's race until about two weeks ago. If he can run an Indoor mile with only two weeks training in less than 4:15, what ought he do after a few more races! Hahn, in a letter received here last week, declared that he was In the best shape of his career and expected this to be his greatest season, after which he will probably hang up Hie spiked shoe for good. It Is quite like ly, however, that if Hahn is to make any* records the performance* will take place on any track but Madison Square Garden, for the Garden has always been a "jinx’’ to the Falls City. flyer. Hahn does not fear dole Ray any more. It Is believed by many that Ray primed himself for his big rare with Nurmi and he shot ids bolt last Tuesday night, putting all he had Into the race. While Hahn also ran his best last Tuesday he has neier run himself to the point of exhaus tion, always running under insiruc ticns from «'oarh Jack Ryder to hold some in reserve for future races.
