Young Swedish School Teach
or Pinned for Return
of PaaVo

Recent reports from Sweden indi-
cate that Paavo Nurmi will meet
some. real opposition when he re.
turns to Scandinavia in the early
summer from Edwin Wide, the
young Swedish school teacher, who
Is unquestionably the greatest dis
lance man ever developed in Sweden.
Wide. it will be remembered,
forced Nurmi to create the existing
world record for the mile min.
utes 10 2-5 seconds-when the pair
met in the Stockholm Olympic
stadium in 1928. The Swedish flyer
has made it interesting for Paavo
more than once by the expedient Of
taking the pace away from the
Phantom Finn. Nurmi does not like
to follow pace worth a cent.
Wide is reported to be running
seconds faster than ever before in
his career in the cross-country races
that are in vogue in Sweden at this
season of the year. and it is believed
that he will have a banner season
on the track during the coming
summer.
The Swedish champion has eff
tected a complete recovery from the
sunStroke that he suffered in the
so-called cross-country event at the
Olympic games. at Paris, last July.
Wide was struck down by the heat
after covering five miles of the
Olympic hill and dale" event, which
was in reality a road run with the
thermometer registering over 100 In
the shade. He was picked up un.
conscious and rushed to the hospi-
tai. At first Wide's life was de-
SPARED of, but he pulled through
after spending more than a fort
night in the Olympic emergency
hospital.
Wide was not a whit discouraged
by his failure to make the grade
against Ritola and Nurmi at the
Olympic cross-country event. He
surprised his friends by appearing
on the track to race a few weeks
after the Olympics, apparently as
good as ever.
The Swedish flyer naturally en-
tertains the ambition to take" the
great Nurmi, and doubtless this Is
what he is preparing for right now.
Wide was invited to come to the
United States along with the other
international foOt-racing stars this
winter, and would have accepted but
for a single formality, Viz:-that Of
being obliged to work for his living.
Unlike some Of his more fortunate
rivals for athletic fame, the Swed-
ish schooImaster cannot get away
from his job for long periods to
make athletic trips hither and yon.

TENNIS DAT ES
MAY WORK
HARDSHIP

The foresight Of the United States
Lawn Tennis Association may be
open to some criticism il Bill John
ston and Vinney Richards are per-
mitted to go abroad this summer
for an extended campaign, starting
with the Wimbledon championships,
In spite of the prospect that this
country will need all it's available
strength to defend the Davis Cup.
Two years ago Johnston invaded
Europe, capturing both the worlds
hard court and turf titles, but his
game suffered a reaction upon his
return. He was beaten by Jim
Anderson in the Davis Cup singles
and was an easy victim for Tilden
in the national championships.
Little Bill" lacks the stamina to
keep his playing edge through too
strenuous a season.
Richards, on the other hand,
seems to thrive on action, although
by playing too much abroad he
also would run the risk of a let
down in his game here by Sep
TENDER, when the season reaches
it's climax.
Perhaps the guiding minds of
tennis feel safe enough with Tilden,
the main defender, conserving mis-
energies at home for the years de-
ciSiVe tests.
