gard lightly.

dams

PAAVO MAY DISPLAY HIS
ART AT OPERA IN PARIS

PARIS. February 6.-Paavo Nurmi,
world champion runner, may be a
headliner at the Opera if negotiations
now under way between the Sporting
Club of France and the ministry of
public instruction, which controls the
theater, prove successful.
The fleet Finn, however, would not
be called upon to fill the place vacated
by Caruso, but the Opera would be
transformed for the occasion into a.
running arena, with a 200-meter track
for the flying feet of the champion.
The Sporting Club, which is COM
posed of personalities in the worlds of
art, politics and sport, has pointed out
to the ministry the fact that moving
pictures and private balls are per-
mitted in the Opera and that a run
ming exhibition by such a great artist
as Nurmi would not be a desecration
of Frances temple of art.
The exhibition would be for the ben
eft of war orphans, and, should the
government approve, Paavo will be
Immediately invited to participate.

ATHLETES TO STRIVE
FOR II new RECORDS
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, February 6-Eleven
track records form the goal which a
noted gathering of athletes will strive
for at the annual games of the Wilco
Athletic Association in Brooklyn to-
morrow night, and four of them are
sought by Paavo Nurmi.
He expects to conquer world marks
for 2 miles, rs miles, 1900 meters
and 14 miles in the most daring pro-
gram he has laid out since comm g
to America. The record for the dis
tance, now held by Joie Ray of Chi
cago, is minutes 2-5 seconds.
Willie Ritola, a native of Finland,
who makes his home in America, will
oppose Nurmi Having created a
dozen records of his own in the past
two weeks, Ritola believes that at
last he has reached a form good
enough to defeat the invader. An
American who may be able to force
Nurmi is Eddie Kirby of Cornell, who
also is entered in the event.
Willie Plant, American walking
champion, intends to erase the 5000
meter and two-mile figures. George
Goulding of Canada, who recently
announced his retirement, holds the
record.
Alan Helffrich of Penn State, who
has won the Millrose 900" for three
successive years, will face George
Marsters, Georgetown star, and Fran
cisco McKillop of Boston College at
his favorite distance.
Jackson Scholz, Olympic 200meter
champion, and Louis Clarke, indoor
record holder for 100 yards, will meet
in a 125-yard sprint. The 18th Regi-
ment Armory in Brooklyn has the
only straightaway of this length in
New York State. Loren Murchisor,
Harold tBoots) Lever and George
Mitteladorf of Colby College will
compete in the 50-yard dash.
Joie Ray will seek to redeem his
records for the mile and for 1900
meters, taken away by the Finn.

What is the most conspicuous fault
of tOrtodrds in floor lnorEs
BY JOHN SCHOONER,
Basket Ball Coach. Armour Insti-
tute, Former L. of G. Star.
X
There are two faults which / find
to be equally conspicuous md equally
disastrous to basket ball efficiency.
The first is the lack Of pure speed.
No forward can really be successful
unless he has this quality of speed.
The second great fnult is that many
forwards, though possessing speed,
do not have the agility, the nexibility
and the sense of handling the ball
which they should have. These
qualities may be largely developed
and brought out through practice,
but unless n man has some OF them
before coming to college, 1T Will be
very dificult for any coach to de-
veIop him into n really great basket
ball player.

In all other respects nothing is Ii

writer rule, the Western delegates
are not instructed how to vote in
event of emergency.
1t looks as though this rule as for
mulated by a specially appointed
committee will be adopted by the ma
tional body and be incorporated in
the rules without much of a fight, if
any.
If this happens, a very dangerous
controversy will have been adjusted.
Awards of the various championships
and Davis cup ties will be announces,
and it is not unlikely that a ma
terial change in the scheme of play
for the Davis cup will be effected
For one thing, the cup-holding ma
tion may have to play through the

Addressing System
 For Water Department

The board of water commissioners is having an addressing system pre- pared to make possible the mailing of bill with less overtime by the clerical staff and to obviate the necessity of engaging extra clerical help during the time when bills are being sent out,
 Agitation Is heinz heard for the establishment of mailing bureau to handle all letters being sent out to taXpayers. The board of assessors | has an extensive mailing list and the tax collector has both property and personal tax lists. The latter official is required to employ several clerks 1 for a period of several weeks each year. Preparation of mailing lists for each of these departments and keep ing them revised through the entir" Ivear would make an accurate mall ing system, could be handled by on" clerk and would result in an actual saving of money, those who favor the mailing bureau believe.
 It is likely that the common coul- cil committee on supplies and print ling will be asked to consider the
 plan at the next council meeting.
