RAY DEFIES NURMI
FOR RACE AT Mile

NEW YORK, February 5.-Paavo
Nhrmi, whose conquests have startled
the track world, has been challenged.
Joie Ray stands with his back to
the wall, his name, which was written
opposite many a record before the
advent of the marvellous Finn, almost
erased from the books. Yet once more
the little Chicagoan offers to fight for
the return of a portion of his hard
won laurels. He would regain the
mile record.
The challenge to Nurmi came in the
form of a letter to Chairman Hugh
Hirschon of the Wilco Athletic Club
meet scheduled for Saturday night
and carried Rays withdrawal from
the special 3,000-meter event, in
which the Olympic Champion had
promised to eclipse the last marks
owned by Ray. For the first time in
his career the blond flyer urged that
he be permitted to name conditions
for a race.
Nurmi has planned every step OF
that 3,000-meter race Saturday and
undoubtedly will refuse to meet Rays
demands at this time, according to
officials of the Wilco Club, which
means that Eddie Kirby of Cornell
will be the only man to worry the
marvel from Europe.

FISHER OUT AS GRID
COACH AT HARVARD

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. February s.
Robert T. Fisher, for the past six
seasons head coach of the Harvard
varsity foot ball team, has requested
the Harvard athletic committee not
to consider his reappointment as
head coach, it was announced here
by the committee in accepting his
resignation. The committee also an
nounced that as yet no one has been
chosen to fill his place.
Fisher, who had directed Harvard
teams to four victories over Yale
while coaching two losing teams
against the Ellis, wrote the committee
that he wished to devote his entire
time to business. In accepting his
resignation the committee passed
resolutions praising his record.
Probable successors to Fisher from
the ranks of former Harvard stars
have been mentioned, including Hunt
ington r. Hardwick, former back
and end; Walter II. Trumbull, former
can back for three years and captain
in 1915, and Leo II. Leary, who for
several years coached ends under
Percy ID. Haughton.
All the men suggested were trained
under the Haughton system, Of which
Fisher was also a product.
Maj. Charles d. Daley, U. S. A, re-
Gently assigned to command of the
Harvard reserve officers training
corps, has also been named as a
possible candidate.
The athletic committee, while not
indicating any choice of head coach,
has already denied that Maj Daley
has been designated

When a perfectly well meaning
dude places his right foot in the
stirrup when mounting a horse and
blithely swings himself into the
saddle. only to find that he is facing
the rear of the horse, 1T may be
trying to the Wes1erner, but 1t is
perhaps much more so to the dude
himself. 1t is easy to imagine that
a man not familiar with horses
stirrup preparatory to the mount.
The rest is quick swing, and it is
mortally impossible, once you place
the right foot forward, to end up
facing the horses head.
"Of course" says Struthers Burt,
II will grant that as the horse start
ed and the dude found himself riding
backward he did realize something
was wrong"
But, alas! The poor dude does
these things usually right in front
of not only a group of Westerners
but in front of many of his own kind.
And when you feel somewhat skit-
tish about your horse (as one lady
twiddled his ears as he stood wait
ing) and remarked that he looks vi
cious (Which most horses do), it isn't
any fun, I should imagine, to have
the hard boiled wrangler assure you
that the horse is SO gentle that "if
you fall off he will come back and
pick you up"
Yes, we feel for the dudes.

MY GREATEST THRILL IN SPORT
By ELSIE MULLER,
American Woman Speed Skating Champion

In 1923 Miss Robinson won all the
national and international champion
ships worth mentioning. She ranked
with Art Staff, the professional
champion, and Charley Jewstraw OF
Lake Placid, who set so many rec
ords among the amateurs. She was
the Jack Dempsey and Babe Ruth OF
womans skating, and no one else
was conceded a chance against her.
I beat her in n 44O-yard cham
piOnship race last Winter. though
had to set new American rec
ord to do 1t.
The thrill of that. Metropolitan
championships and records were moth
ing to it at all. There had been
plenty of other victories on my
docket, but none to compare with
that
Better yet, 1 hnd to come from
behind to win, and when 1 flashed
over the line a winner L wouldn't
have changed place with the em-
rcror of the world, il there is such
person.
OF course, l didn't know then that
/ had set a new record though ]
realized that | was going faster and
trying harder than l had ever done
before.
when they told me that 1 was n
record d-hOlder in addition to being
the champion at the distance, my
emotions were entirely too COM
plex to describe. That moment was
certainly my biggest thrill

Nurmi apparently is as much at
home indoors as he is on the cinders,
which leads to the conclusion that
Kirby will have trouble following his
flying feet.
The American had an opportunity
to see his rival in action last night
"a race in which Nurmi shattered
the mark for 1000 yards set up by
the great Englishman, Alfred Shrubb,
20 years ago. The Finn made the
distance in 1885, but failed to reach
the end of 21s miles in anything
like the time established by Willie
Ritola at Madison Square Garden the
night before.
Nurmi, in eclipsing Shrubb's out
door mark, was timed at the 1000
meter distance in IL minutes SO 3-5
seconds, which will stand as a rec
ord for that distance, there being
no previous figures.
Loren MurchiSon, member of the
