This picture shows Joie Ray. Illi- nois A. C., winning the mile run from F.. II. Falls. Jr., Chicago A. C.. in the National A. A. l.. championships in the fast time of 4:1i 2-5--the fastest mile Ray ever ran.
 Chesty Joie announced his inten- ton of setting new world record for the event and students of running form believe he would have made good but for the strong wind and soft track
 The mid-westerncr is expected to smash the Olympic record in the B. o00-meter run this month in Paris and hang Up 10 valuable points for the American team.
 Ray was member of the team four years ago but had the misfortune to pull muscle in his right leg but two days before the 1,5O0-meter run in which he was entered. He insist ed on starting and finished eighth.
 This year the 1,500-meter event is practically conceded to Paavo Nurmi of Finland and this is one reason why Coach Lawson Robertson of the American team restricted Rays par ticipation to the longer run.
