 running for Finland. is entered in several events.
 The most startling development in the Finland plan of action is the entry of Nurmi in the 500 meter run. He was timed at this distance in i minute 52 seconds at a recent trial, which is within one tenth of a second of Ted Mcrediths world record. This runner whom the Films regard as the iron man" of the track, is also entered for the 1900, 5000 and 10000 meter flat races, the 10000 meter cross country and the 5000 meter team race, in which he will have his only chance of meeting Joie Ray. the American mile champion.
 There is some doubt that he will start in the cross country, but even if he docs not, the program us ar ranged would make it necessary for him to race once or twice daily, a feat the Americans consider super human.
 Ritola is entered in the houo and 0,O00 meter flat races, tho cross country event and the 300 meter team race. Other Finnish aces include Rainio, who is credited with doing better than the worlds record in the hop, step and jump: Torp, shot-puttor, q 80 foot man and Stcnroos, who is favored to capture the marathon,
 Flames Kelchmainen, winner of the 1920 marathon, is below his best form owing to foot injury. but experience is expected to keep him running while Villar kyroncm, former American competitor, is also considered a strong contender in this classic.
