Passaic's thirteenth game OF the sea-
SON"
Every boy on the Hackensack team
is at least six feet tall, and their
short passes went over the heads of
the Passaic players. But, even so,
both teams scored evenly from play,
Hackensack won because she made
her free throws good.
The absence of Blood as coach fg-
ures prominently in the post-mortem m
consultations among Passaic ar
thusiasts. Marks Is good coach, but
Blood was the man who gave the
team its high morale.
All that Paxsaic has now to salve
her pride is 4 record of 153 straight
victories, the nearest approach to which
is 11S sequential triuuphs hung up by
the Buffalo Germans.
Even so, PasSaic has gone back to
the making of woolens and half OF
Americas handkerchiefs, and basket
ball has crept from the first page Of
the local newspapers back to the

was not fussy. Following his Ant
werp triumphs he had devoted him
self to the shorter events in an effort
to increase his speed Paavo knew
he possessed the desired endurance,
that his lungs and heart would func-
tion rhythmically no matter how pro-
tracted the race, and with certain
record breaking ambitions in view he
realized he must develop speed and
then strive to carry that speed
throughout the longer races.
Paavo made study of the middle
distance marks and the men who had
made them. w. G. George, England's s
great miller of 40 years ago; Tommie
Conner. the old-time record holder:
John Paul Jones, who held the world
amateur record for the mile; Norman
Taber. whose mark OF 4 minutes
II 3-5 seconds, made in 1915, was be-
lieved to be the lasting worlds rec
ord for that distance, and Jean Bouin,
the great French runner, who died in
the war, were Paavo's gods at that
time. He got the figures for the in
termediate distances in their best
races, learned their times for the first
quarter mile, the half the three
quarters and began experimenting.
Devoted Himself to sprints.
He devoted himself to sprints of
800 or 400 yards, then gradually in
creased the distance, attempting to
'coDtinue the same speed Tor the
longer courses. He timed himself or
had others time him. And he found
that the best performances Of George
and Conneh and Jones and Taber
were within his range.
1t was thia discovery that caused
him to step In on the wordy contro-
versy over the distance to be run in
the matched race with Wide.
"Elvin wishes to race me $500
meters" Paavo said. The mile is
only few yards greater. Why not
make IL mile race and score our
times at the 1.5o0-meter mark? That
Is satisfactory to me-"
Swedish athletic followers were de-
lighted at that decision. Some had
doubted Wide's ability to down Nurmi
in a long race, but all were certain
he could take Paavo's measure at the
mile, and in Sweden and Finland the
day of the race could not come ia st
enough. Foot racing is the national
sport of both countries. There is nat
ural jealousy, and the fact that Wide.
a native of Finland, had forsaken that
land for Sweden, intensified that emo

Then there are the 10000 meter VIC
tory at Antwerp. in which he avenged
his defeat In the Olympic 5000 by
Joseph Guillemot, or the cross-coun-
try win which made him the high in
dividual scorer among the hundreds
of athletes OF more than 80 nations in
the 1920 games
Or you might suppose he'd pick the
Colonies games of last year, when
he captured four of the distance runs,
and after that comes his almost su-
perhuman demonstration in this
country.
But for Paavo his greatest race and
greatest thrill came in 1928, in a
matched race with Elvin Wide in
Stock holm.
Finland Claims Wide.
Incidentally, Paavo. In speaking OF
this race, reveals something that is
not generally known in this coun-
try. He says Elvin Wide is a native
of Finland, and that Sweden gained
Wide's services for the Colombes
Olympic games only through the hur-
ried issuance of Swedish naturaliza-
tion papers. In America Wide has
been regarded as a native son rather
than an adopted citizen of the latter
country, and Finland has received no
credit for fathering and nurturing
this fine athlete.
The duel between Paavo and Wide
was an event of International inn
portance. Royalty and civil oficial-
dom honored the race with their
presence, and the most pompous
among them completely lost their
dignity as. the race progressed.
Wfde's rare ability as a middle dis
tance runner-and il should be re-
membered the middle distances of
northern Europe run from the 1900
metre to the 3,000-meter events-frst
attracted attention in the Spring of
1921. No athlete in Sweden could fol-
low the pace he set, and scandinavian
track records were knocked galley
west every time he answered the
starters pistol.
Sweden, of course, claimed Wide as
Its own and was predicting for him
an Olympic. career which would far
surpass that Of Finland's favorite,
Paavo Nurmi..
Match Race Demanded
Whenever and wherever a Swede
and Finn met there was discussion
of the relative merits of the two
foot-racers and 1t was not long be-
fore a matched race was demanded.
There was considerable haggling
marks at the 1,5oo meters brought
request from Sweden that the 1900
meter course be specified Finland's
athletic officials were for a 5000 or

Ernest A. Blood, the coach was

Greenwich, Conn.
1t is possible that Blood. who re-
linquished his coaching job at the
end of the 1924 season to his as
sistant, Amasa Marks, suspected that
the end was near. If he did not,
Hackensack did.
