Folks call him the Finnish Pa
perhanger." He isn't at al-and
he chuckled in quiet glee when he
was told of the title which Amer
leans had given him. AS a matter
of fact. Nurrni is a craftsman. and
those stopped shoulders come from
long hours spent over the drawing
board in his native Finland.
Other writer's. seeing him In
action, have referred to him az the
"Giant Finn" and the ''tall, laniSy
foreigner" Those references give
Nurmi a chuckle. too. For, as q
matter Of fact, he Is small Of stat
ure and small of bone. He weighs
only lat pounds and his height is five
feet eight inches. Nothing very gi-
gantic about that.
It's his running style that
makes him look tall-that and the
tremendous reach of his long
legs. For NuI1ni runs straight
up" without q crouch and with
out the farm pull so common
among American runners.
NurmIS running style IS inter.
esting. Fans who saw him perform
at the Garden need no reference
to the length of his stride or the
ease of his motion. It's poetry
nothing less, and you were aware
of lie ere he had gone a lap.
But if you watched carefully
you saw that he ran entirely from
his hips. That threw the strain
of running on his thigh and alb
dominal muscles and left the lung
and arm muscles free for breath
ing.
Experts will tell you that such
is the acme of running motion.
Men doing the shorter distances
need the farm pull to increase
their speed. But distance running
is a question Of ease and unwasted
effort-and Nurmi represents the
ultimate Of that style.
You probably noticed, too, that
| Nurmi scorned the Crouch start.
| That again is wise. After all, q
single jump is of little avail in a
race that goes for a long distance
and that jumping start" takes
energy. It is q strain on the legs

TURNER MAKES SHORT
WORK OF YOUNG LINK

Joe Turner said he would make
quick work Of Young Shad Link of
Baltimore and he did just that last
night in their wrestling match at
the Mutual Theater. Turner out
classed the son OF the famous Shad
Link at every turn, getting the first
fall in fifteen and one-half minutes
with a flying mare and then turned
right AROUND and with this same
fall got the second fall IN five
minutes.
Young Shad Link, however, was
not satisfied, SO Turner threw him
again for good measure, the last
time in approximately two minutes.
Link was still wanting more but
the crowd decided Turner had wen
the match with something left over
for good measure.

FOUR HIGH
.F|VES To
START
Central Clashes With Eastern
and Tech Meets
Business
By ROSS L. CONKLIN

By ROSS L. CONKLIN
Gaping the climax to weeks of
silent preparation. four of the
high school basketball teams will
spring into fervid action tomorrow
in the George Washington Uni
versity gym, at Twenty-first and
81 streets northwest. Central VIII
clash with Eastern in the eye
opener at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing, and at 2:30 o'clock inthe after
noon Business legions will tangie
feet with Techs.
It's a case of pick your own
ticket and then swim or sink with
it. The dope is positively cOTl-
f1sing on both games, though
there are some who pick Eastern
to beat Central and Business TO
defeat Tech. Not this writer,
however. In high school athletics
there is no winner until after the
last whistle has been sounded
through the realm.
Central's rejuvenated Quint may
be the surprise Of the day. Coach
Bert Coggins has three veterans
who are extremely clever. Whether
or not the three can offset East
ern's hordes is q mooted question.
OF the two teams, Central VIII
probably prove the lighter, and
maybe the faster. This does not
mean that the Eastern boys are
either mastadonic or stationary.
Most assuredly, they are not.
Guyon's improvements in the
Eastern court game are soundly
based. The Indian develops any
number OF men, and they can all
play any position on the team. Sig
nails are seldom used, scrimmag1ng
being the main forte.
In the afternoon game Business
viii take q much more expert
e1aced team ont on the court than
Technical. Coach Woodwork has
scheduled and played many gamegs
with the purpose IN mind OF get
ting his team into the best pos
sible form for the series, and he
seems to have accomplished his
aim.
Technical has the worst material
OF any In the schools, and Coach
team does not impress. With but q
single veteran, Captain Zahn, on
hand. Sanborn was forced to take
men who hardly knew what a bas-
ketbaH looked like. Out Of such
green stuff he has builded some
thing, and that something is fairly
liable to burn up some unsuspecting
opponent.
The George washington gym is
large and well ventilated. It's
playing floor is three feet from the
wall, so that Central and Eastern
will have a slight advantage. in
that their gyms are also off from
the wall Business will not have
much trouble in acclimating itself
to the gym, but poor old Tech.
which has been using the gym in
the National Guard Armory, win
have to start all over again.
The gym which Tech has been
using has a low ceiling, and is
dark. It is also much smaller
than the G. w. u. place. Truly,
Tech has had few IL any breaks.
Games after Saturday win be
played each Tuesday and Saturday.
On Tuesday there win be double
be two separate games, one in the
morning and the other in the after
noon. Each high school team plays
every other team twice, so that
the results of the first game are
not necessarily binding. It may 80
happen that Eastern viii meat Cen
trail tomorrow, and then be beaten
on January 81, when they next
meet. Because OF the parity OF the
teams every game ought to be
closely contested.

State Distributors of
Chrysler Autos In
Winslow This Week

A Chrysler six phaeton with a
history rolled into town this week.
The car is piloted by Robert Atkin-
son, wholesale representative of
the r. D. Roper Motor company of
Phoenix, Chrysler distributors for
Arizona. He is accompanied by
C. e. Harvey, Chrysler factory rep
resentative, and together they are
calling on all their dealers in the
state and visited Winslow to have
a conference with w w. Franklin,
local Chrysler dealer.
The car Atkinson is driving is
the first Chrysler six that came to
Arizona in March, 1924, and has
been used continuously since then
in demonstration work. Atkinson
visited Winslow with the car in
April, 1924, and made a number of
demonstrations at that time. It's
speedometer now registers nearly
10000 miles and Atkinson says he
can step it up to seventy miles an
hour and climb the steepest grades
with as much ease now as when
he started out with the car nearly
a year and a half ago.
"The remarkable thing to me
about the performance and staying
qualities of the car" Atkinson says,
"is the fact that throughout the
entire use of the car probably more
than 1000 different people have
driven it and every one of them has
'dynamited' it to see what it could
do 1t has been put over the rough
est roads and the hardest grades in
every part of Arizona by all kinds
of drivers and yet it has stood up
under this grueling work, which I
contend is the hardest test that can
be given a car, and it hasn't lost
any of it's pep or power. has no rat
ties or squeaks, and this in spite
of the fact that it has had no over
hauling or any mechanical work
other than greasing and servicing.
I'll say that's going some and is
the best answer I can give to the
question often asked, How is the
Chrysler standing up?'"

the district, saved the forest from
serious damage.
A number of fires on the reserve
have been reported to the super
visor's office in the last few days,
it is reported. None of these has
been destructive and were caused,
for the most part, by lightning. In
a few instances, however, human
carelessness caused outbreaks.
The work of the rangers and fire
guards has been doubly heavy as
a result of the numerous reports,
most of which have come late in
the afternoon or at night, necessi-
tating a great deal of night work.
Much of the forest is very dry
and with the electric storms the
fire hazard has increased. Out
breaks thus far have not caused
much damage, being brought under
control before getting much of a
start. In practically every case
they were sighted and reported at
once to the local office, enabling
the rangers and fire guards to ex-
tinguish them before they reached
such proportions that they were
hard to handle.
Travellers and tourists in the
forests are urged to be very care
full of camp fires and lighted cigar
and cigarette stubs so as to avoid
serious outbreaks. The forests are
like tinder, due to drouth, and if
fire should get good start much
damage probably would result be-
fore it could be controlled.

INCREASE In TAX
RATE CERTAIN In
ARIZONA In 1925

Arizona's tax rate for the pres
ent fiscal year will show a consid-
cradle increase over that of a year
ago, according to predictions in
well-informed circles at the state
capital.
While it is impossible to forecast
the rate with any degree of GER
tainty, estimates at the capital
range from as low as Csc to as high
as 75c on the $10O of taxable val
uations. The tax rate last year
was SIC on each 500 of valuation.
No person, it is declared, is in
position to predict with any degree
of certainty at this time exactly
what the rate will be- The various
facts which combine into the auto
matte fixing of the rate have not
yet been centralized, although
enough are available to insure that
taxpayers may expect an increased
rate
Valuations this year, on the face
of reports from seven counties
heard from, will be lower than last
year. The drop may be as much
as $20,000,000, due to the decline
in assessed valuation of mining
property and to decreases in tax
able valuations of live stock. The
causes contributing to the drops in
each of those cases are not of the
type to indicate that those indus
tries have suffered any decline
since last year.
1t also is practically certain, it
is declared, that the amount to be
raised by taxation will be higher
than year ago.
The state house opinion is that
valuations of the present year re-
fleet highly satisfactory economic
condition despite the decreased to-
tai Probably every class of prop
erty except range cattle and pro-
ducing mines will show an in
crease. The increase in automo-
Jbiles has been the greatest in his
tory declared by tax experts to be
the best barometer of conditions.
Various classes of real estate also
will show gains, as will practically
every type of personal property.
The decreases in mining prop
erty and range cattle valuations
are no greater than had been esti-
mated. An increase in either would
have been impossible except under
the most abnormal conditions.
