NLlRlMI,S INJURED FEELINGS
 SOOZHED AND HE WILL STAY
Decides to Remain Here and Take Part in Other Meets
 . Races Saturday Night.
By The Associated Press.


 New York. Jan, 20-Paavo Nurmi admittedly perturbed at conditions he encountered in his record cross country dash 10 Chicago and return last week. during which he is re- ported to have threatened to desert American tracks and return to his homeland in northwestern Europe, has decided to remain here for nearly score of meets and may be persuaded to participate in some of the early season outdoor events.
 Paavo is being pressed. but he seems to enjoy 1t. One days rest appears to have given his nimble feet new lease of speed. and once more he pads around the New York tracks in training for one of the severest schedules an athlete ever has attempted. Tomorrow night Nurmi crosses the bay. to invade Newark at the St. Joseph's Catholic club games, when once moro he will face his Finnish-American rivals, Nilsson, Prim and Pager, probably in handicap event,
 On Saturday the Finnish marvel's power will be put to the test in the Brooklyn college meet and there- after he is expected to have at least four races a week for the re- mainder of his stay. Boston, Portland, Me, Louisville. Baltimore and Washington will see him in action.
 Meanwhile ugo Frigerio of Italy plans to enter the business of record making. Nurmi runs. Frigerio walks. Each will have the entire throng roofing for him at all times, so a division of spells will be ne- necessary. But for some weeks track officials must make provision for both Ugo and Paavo. Their

services will be demanded.

SerViceS VIII DO demdnded. The announcement that Ed Kirby, Cornell star. will leave Ithaca in an attempt to thwart the invader from Finland has aroused considerable interest es it indicates that Amerl- can opponents for the seemingly in- defatigable Nurmi are enlisting for services. Kirby Is a great college middle distance man and proved himself at the Olympic games in Paris last summer when he led five other Americans to the tape in the 3,O0Osmeter race.
 Nurmi may go home unbeaten and carrying about every record in the American books, but when he re- turns if he ever does.. he Is sure to find new set of athletes, for the nation Is due for combing which will find every runner of caliber. It is safe to say that when the olympics come again three years hence. America will have some Nnrmis of it's own, for it has been taught an athletic lesson.
 Truly. Nrrmi may be unbeatable and the greatest of all time past and all time to come, but the same has been thought of other con- querors. Still records fall.
 The Wilco A. 4. appears to have taken the first step to place America in the running in this new era of middle distance racing born of Nurmi's conquests by inviting all amateurs capable of making the dis tance to participate in a special event at the annual games February '. Americans may be satisfied to sit in the stands and galleries and applaud Nurmis accomplishments, but American athletes never are con- tent to trail.

Tonight Fafnir's snappy team will meet some stiff opposition when they encounter Charlie Cooks has- kethall tossers from Landers at the Y. M. C. A. court in the Dusty league.

 BY REV. EARL A. BLACKMAN

 Will the time ever come when all colleges and high schools will recog- nize the value of boxing?
 Will the time ever come when all colleges and high school will give it place in their curriculum?
 hope so, for boxing is one of the cleanest and most wholesome of sports.
 Ii is not nearly as dangerous as football, yet it's opponents stress that point.
 There is hardly boy in America whoswould not like to become a pro- f1cient boxer, and there is no game or exercise that will do more for a growing, red-blooded young man.
 People have opposed boxing be- cause they have generally consider ed it a "rough-necll" sport, associat- Cd with the worst element in the community.
 But that attitude is rapidly pass ing, as Is evidenced by the fact that 27 states which, before the World War had laws against boxing. have now legalzed the sport.
 There Is also an erroneous i'm pression that it is brutal and ex- ceedingiy hazardous. AS to its brutality, it is far less dangerous than wrestling. While 1t is true that boxers do get disflgured noses, split eyebrows, and occasionally coui- flower ears, those bouts are 10 10 Is three minute rounds, and who, as rule, do not have the benefit of scientific training. College boxing would be under amateur rules, where no less than six-ounce gloves are used and the rounds of only two- minute duration, and not to exceed four in number.
 But" someone says, Ws not the object in boxing match 10 knock the other fellow senseless 2"
 This is quite true, Sbut what is usually known as knockout" punch does not, as rule. produce harmful effect than 10 stun temporarily a delicate nerve center for a few seconds-10 seconds being a sufficient length of time for one to lose a match.
 The writer has been hit with the Knock out" punch many times, and he can safely say that as far as pain and discomfort is concerned, he would much rather be knocked out" in a boxing match than 10 pound. his finger with a tack ham mer or to bump his era bone on a door-sill.
 There are not more than four vital spots on the human body; one on either side of the lower jay; one just below the breast-bone, known as the solar-plexus, and possibly one just above the heart, which, by the way, is very rarely struck.
 If a boxer is trained properly, he will have no other object than 10 land one of these punches. He soon becomes accustomed to taking punches elsewhere in the face or on the body. and a few scratches and an occasional bloody nose or lip are temporary injuries that amount 10 nothing to a high school or college athlete.
 One competent instructor can give instruction to as many boys as us- ually wish 10 take lessons, and he can handle all inter-class or inter- school contests.

RESERVES STOP
 SOUTH CHURCH Repeat Early Season Victory But by Smaller Score.

The South Church winning streak, extended to six games, was checked abruptly last night at the Boys club when the club Reserves defeated the Congregationalists for the second time this season, the count this time being s 10 19. The church team, smarting under its crushing defeat earlier in the selson, pu. ltp much better battle, but the absence of Cooley at center and the superior passing of the Reserves proved foo much for it.
 The South Church started eff thrcateningly. Bigge ot Le RescrEts up with 8 long shot. Hapatlla sent the Reserves ahead, but Kleist again came across with d second basket from the outer regions. Adams sent the church lads ahead, ) Il Bigge broke through to tie it up again. Captain Yankubowicz got loose for a two-pointer and the cluo was ahead to stay. Aronson followed with an- other, and then Parker spun one in from the corner. Zapatka went on a tear. and at the half the score was 20 10 Ii.
 The second half showed closer guarding, but was more or less a a repetition of the first, the Reserves continuing 10 draw slowly away from the South Church. Andy Yakubowicz at last got full steam up and dropped in a quintet, while Lanky Adams of the Congrcgationalists, balfled from the floor, found consolation in sink ing four from the 15 foot strip. When Rudman was sent rom the floor on four personal fouls in rapid fire order, the Reserves playc1 the last two minutes with four men. The score:

ROME TO GIVE CONCERTS
 IN HONOR OF PALESTRINA

ROME, Mar 24.-The fourth cen tenary of the birth in 1925 of Gio- vanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, the fa- ther of modern musical nomencIa- ture and composer of a considera- ble amount of the most magnificent sacred music of the Roman Catholic church, is being celebrated this year in Rome and is being made the oc- casion for the rendition for the first time of many little known non-reli- gious works of the great master.
 Although Palestrina's sacred music is universally known, almost noth- ing has been known of his profane music, of which he left about 200 madrigals and canzoni. Since the vocal orchestra" ceased to exist as a lay form of tion," no have existed. Of the entire body of his work, Richard Wagner published first edition in Germany but, af- ter such Italian musicians as Alber- to Cametti, Monsignor Casimiri, Gio- vanni Tebaldini and Domenico Ala leona had pointed out that the Ger man edition was very faulty, the work of compiling a complete edi- ton was undertaken in Italy. This, it is stated, will be ready some time during the current year.
 The first of a series of commem- orative concerts took place recently at the Royal Academy of Santa Ce cilia under the direction of Domen ico Alaleona, who had copied from the original manuscripts the works included in the program. The mag nitude of the task successfully ac- complished by Alaleona is easily seen when it is remembered that the original works were written with uniform notes without any indica- tions of movement, color or eXpres- sion. The program included can- zone to the words of Petrarch's "Chiare fresche e dolci acque," and a madrigal written on the occasion of the battle of Lepanto in 1871, when the united Christian armies defeated the Turks.

 for Boom in Oil Fields

BUENOS AIRES, Mar 24.-(AP) The satisfactory results obtained by the state owned petroleum wells ill 1924 has encouraged the govern ment to give additional impulse to boring in 1925. In the Comodoro Rivadavia field alone 1856 wells will be sunk this year, while in the Salta and Jujuy oil fields a considerable number of borings will be begun.
 In other respects also great strides will be made, especially in the install lation of refineries, the most impor- tant of which, at La Plata, is fast approaching completion.

HARVARD SCIENTISTS STRIVE TO MEASURE
 REMOTE STAR CLOUD

CAMBRIDGE, March 24-Determi- nation that the object in the universe most remote from the earth among those visible through the highest powered telescopes is the faint star cloud known to astronomers as N.. G. c. 6S22 is one of the latest contribu- tions of the Harvard College Obser- Vatory to astronomical lore. Thru studies made under the supervision of Professor Harlow Shapley, direc- tor of the observatory, it has been estimated that this star cloud is one million light years distant. In the language of the layman this means a distance of approximately sixteen quadrillion, seventy trillicn, four hun dred billion miles.
 NCG 6S22 was thought by the as trunomers Perrine, Duncan and dobb 10 be analogous to the Magellanic clouds Studies male al the Har- ward Observatory however, seem to indicate that it lies we'll outside the Milky Way system. It has been estimated that a dirigi0e making a n,a stop flight anl travelling night and cay at a speed O. 60 1:lles an hour would require 33,315, 100000 years to reach this distant spot.
 Another accomplishment of the ob servatory is the recent completion of Volume 99 of Harvarl Annals. the last of nine volumes of tka Draper catalogue an astronomical work GOV ering information concerning 250,000 stars. Work on the Draper series, planned in detail by Professor Will liam Henry Pickering in 1911. has been in progress for more than thiT- teen years.
 These volumes show the positions, magnitudes and spectral classes of the stars. Analyses of the data thus collated are now in progress. It is estimated that on the spectra plates in the Harvard collection there are nine million faint stars still unclassi- fled
 This priceless collection of asuo- nomical photographic plates for years surrounded by a fire hazard, is now we'll safeguarded. Professor Shapley demonstrated that the plates were secure from either fire or water dam age. They are kept in brick store house, equipped with water sprink- Ter system.
 Since the first photograph of a star was made in 1850 under the su- peryision of Professor George Bond, the Harvard collection has been grow ing steadily. Systematic photogra- phic work with several telescopes was begun prior to 1900 Dozens of telescopes at the observatory and at its stations in AreQuipa, Peru, and elsewhere are constantly adding to the collection which now numbers some 3O0,000 plates. Nearly all of these are considered of value in the study of current astronomical prob lems, and those taken prior to 1900 are said to be unduplicated elsewhere
