Frigerio, PIucky Little Italian Walker Who Is Losing Steadily, Tells How He Wants to Compete

New York, Feb. 6.--Ugo Frigerio, little Italian walker, who kept his heels in the faces of all opponents at the Olympic games in Paris but has taken only dust from the Amer ican Willie Plant, since coming to the United States for a brief visit. now has turned to naming condi- tions for races.
 But, unlike Paavo Nurmi, the vis- itor from Finland, he has failed 10 impress officials of the Wilco A. A. meet. Frigerio had planned to start against Plant and Phil Gran- vile of Canada in the Wilco 5000 meter test in Brooklyn tomorrow night, but almost at the last mo- ment changed his. mind and re- quested that the distance be stretched to four miles or more.
 The Italian was permitted to withdraw from the "2000," fix ture at these annual games, and is expected to appear in an exhibition race against any who desire to op- pose him. With three defeats be- hind him his plea for conditions met with little enthusiasm.

The thrill is the big thng in sports. At least from a spectators point of view. It supplies the punch, the power that keeps the fans keyed up to the highest ptch.
 Obviously, the sportive curriculum furnishes many thrilling incidents. Most of them are but feoting in space of time but usually dole out enough excitement to leave a lasting imprint on the minds of all those who bore witness.
 In baseball, a clout over the fence with the bases lcadcd and the team at bat behind, gives one of the big gest thrills. On the gridiron, noth- ing brings the onlookers to their feet quicker than Q long gallop through broken field or q cleverly executed pass for the winning touch- down.

 In the Michigan-Purdue tilt, Taube won the fray for the latter by tossing in a basket in the last minute of play. A few evenings later Haggarty of Michigan turned q similar trick on Wisconsin and on the same night Baker of North western beat Minnesota on long shot in the final 3 seconds of the embroglio.
 Keeps Fans on Edge
 Nothing more thrilling, more ex- citing has been witnessed in Big Ten court circles in seasons. For naught furnishes a stouter punch than a victory by an unusual piece of work in the ebbing moments of play. It's the maximum issue in virtually all branches of sport.
 Thrills, therefore, whether of an individual nature or not, serve as the main dish on the sportive menu They are the dynamos that keep the spectators on edge, that supply the real enthusiasm in victory and some times even in defeat, for that matter.
