Three of those five records. held by
Alfred Shrubb OF England, had stood
unchalleueed on tho record books for
a. score of years. The other two dis
placed marks which Paavo himself
had set.
He Feared American HoodoO.
Paavo's visit to America was not
undertaken without certain fears. He
knew nothing whatever of indoor
running, the thickness of fat-soled
shoes on the hard floors, the preca-
robustness of whirltng high bank ed
turns on the soft wood tracks, the
lack OF space in which to pass rivals,
and he recognized in the men he
would he called upon to meet the
strongest array boasted by any ma
ton Then there were in his mind the
experiences of other athletic visitors
to this land-Joseph Guillemot, for
example, who was whipped by Amer
ica;s tYroS when he came here fol-
lowing the Antwerp Olympic games
With that careful attention to de-
tail for which the Films are noted.
Paavo arranged his trip. He booked
Massage on Il Scandinavia n America
liner which would bring him to New
York several weeks before the date
of his first competitive appearance.
He made advance arrangements for
exclusive use of one or another of the
National Guard armories at certain
hours each day. He fatty declined
Invitations to become the guest of
scores of Finnish American clubs
during those first weeks in this coHn-
try Never in his career did he give
more thought and STUDY to his sport
than following his arrival in New
York.
The task assigned him as his first
venture on a board track was the
duplication of the Commute effort
in the Colombes Olympics-a one mile
run to be followed an hour later by
5000 meter run. In the former he
was to meet Joie Ray, American
champion, and gene rally acknowledge
ed the greatest board track runner
ever developed: Lloyd Hahn and Jim

intercollegiate champions, and each
with an indoor record or two to his
credit, and Walter Higgins, another
