PROGRAM FOR MEET
SHOULD PLEASE FANS

The indoor track and field meet TO
be held by Johns Hopkins University
at the Fifth Regiment Armory in
Baltimore, Monday, February %, will
be noteworthy for one thing, which
probably will make it the most pop
ular ever held in this section Prac-
tically all the so-called open handicap
events have been eliminated and the
meet is to be made up almost en-
tirely of special events. Only four
open handicap competitions and three
interscholastic open events are to be
run off. All others are something in
the nature of special feature.
AS a headliner the Hopkins meet is
advertising the appearance of Nurmi
in a special race, the distance of
which is to be announced later,
against Ray, Booth, Ritola, Prim and
Lermond. Another event, unusual for
this section, Will be a 3,O00-meter
walking race, in which Frigerio,
Italian Olympic champion, and Willie
Plant American amateur champion,
will take part from scratch with
handicapS to others.
Here are some of the other special
events which Hopkins is hoping will
make it's meet well worth while: 600
yard interscholastic championship;
indoor distance medley relay cham
pionship of America; special invita-
ton 100-yard dash, in which it is said
that Scholz, Murchison and Hussey
are entered; invitation one-mile run;
invitation running high jump, in
which Osborne, Olympic star, will
compete against Norton OF George
town and Flahive of Boston College,;
one mile high school relay champion
ship; one-half mile high school re-
lay championship; a special mile re-
lay between Baltimore City College
and Baltimore Polytechnic Institute,
and other special relays for colleges,
universities, high and prep schools.

FREE TRACK URGED
FOR YOUNG RUNNERS

NEW YORK, January 23.-New
York City will be asked to build a
ten-lap running track at some easily
accessible point in order that any
embryo "Nurmis" lurking about the
city may be discovered.
The first definite step in this de-
velopment of amateur competition in
the United States, as advocated by
the new president of the Amateur
Athletic Union, Murray Hubert, was
taken last night when the develop
ment committee of the Metropolitan
Association voted to petition the city
for the immediate construction of
track.
The A. A. L. stands ready to furnish
coaches and pay all other expenses.

athletic club or not, would be permit

Wilson, who will have important
duties as assistant coach, has worked
in connection with both the former
coaches and will form a link with
them. Also for years he has been
the chief Navy scout for the Army
that is played at the Military
Academy.
Spring Practice Slated.
Under the system which is con-
templated more work is likely to be
done throughout the year than for
merIy. Owsley will be in Annapolis
for at least a month of Spring prac
tice, which has been neglected of
late, and Wilson will be in touch with
tho situation during the whole aca-
demic year, and will be able to di~
rect Individual or small group work.
outs along certain lines, such as kick
ing and passing.
There is general approval Of the
selections. While Owsley is not well
known to many naval people. those
charged with the duty of making the
choice have received the highest re-
ports about him. He has been an
important part Of the coaching ma
chinery at Yale, and il was loath to
let him go. He is said to have the
knack TO a large degree of inspir-
ing his charges to great efforts. Will
son is held in very high regard at
the academy.
Folwelrs work at the academy is
generally appreciated. He held the
position of head coach for five years,
which is two years longer than any
one else held it in the history of
Naval Academy foot ball. During that
time his teams won two games from
the Army, lost two and tied one. AS
the Army leads the Navy by one game
for the whole series and is generally
considered to have the advantage
on account of the higher age limit
and ability to attract college stars,
FolwelFs record appears to be a good
one.
However, last years record was a
poor one, and there began to be agita-
tion for some changes in the system.
F'olwell very promptly let it be known
that he was not anxious to remain
unless 1t was in accordance with the
wishes of practically the whole naval
contingent. The search for a new
foot ball coach then was begun.
Plenty of Men Available.
At least a dozen men, most or them
of considerable standing in the col
Iege foot ball world. either applied
definitely for the position or init
mated that they might take it under
certain conditions. The selection of
Owsley and Wilson came after those
charged with the duty, the executive
committee of the Navy Athletic Asso-
citation, had given the matter most
careful consideration.
II may be said that the Naval Acad-
envy did not go into the coach market
70 bid high for the services of any
one. The Navy likes to win as much
as any other institution, but It's Of
f1cials are opposed to all forms of
commercialism in sport, and do not
propose to attempt to attract specially
expert coaches by offering great
financial compensation.
In selecting Owsley and Wilson to
handle the foot ball squad it is be-
lieved that they have made thorough
" competent choices and at the same
time obtained coaches who will exert
the right kind of influence on their
charges and promote the spirit of
hard Tight and craftsmanship which
the Navy wants In its athletics.

For 1T has to be borne in mind that
the days of the gashouse ringer, who
stayed in college until after the
gridiron season TO play foot ball and
then quit, are pretty much at an end
Brilliance on the foot ball field is ac-
companied by briIliance in the class
room and by acute nervous sensi-
bilities.

that good old-fashioned beating wax

The immense amount Of physical
stamina and nervous force expended
in that great second half must have
been tremendous But in both games
the team came through.
The Pacific coast trip capped the
climax. Crowley did not seem unduly
stirred by the jaunt, yet il was known
that inwardly he was tense under the
strain. The warm weather of Cali
fornia seemed to sap the entire team
on the day of the game: Crowley be

field, but despite acute nausea and
other symptoms he finished the game.
Collapsed on Train.
Then, on the train, so the story goes,
he collapsed and was so Ill that his
teammates took turns breathing into
his lungs to keep him alive. He was
hurried to a hospital and while the
other players resumed their journey
home he remained TO be treated for
what was diagnosed as an acute
nervous breakdown.
All this points moral concerning
post-season trips Foot ball players
are not made Of iron and steel and
alumni and college athletic au-
thorities who, for one reason or an
other, arrange these junkets are not
living up TO their esponsibilities to
a set of boys who are at a critical
age.
If Crowley had succumbed, as ac-
cording to report. it was feared for
time he would, the cause Of foot ball
would have received a bad blow. AS
1t is, it may be hoped that strenuous
schedules and post-season games have
received a knockout punch.

Nurmi runs like a machine that can

?. machine that, once thrown out of
gear, would break down.
"Nurmi hasn't had taste of
American racing yet" Mahan stated
but he will get it from now on. He
runs our way hereafter, not his own.
His running over here has been
marvellous, but he has never met a
man of Rays present class either in

shorter distance"

coached Dartmouth Massachusetts

coach of the Illinois A c in 1918

When Ray beats Nurmi, Mahan said
he intends to retire from coaching
for good.

NEW YORK, January 23-In a
supreme endeavor to break four
world records in one race and chop
s 25 seconds off Joie Rays two-mile
record, Paavo Nurmi will make a
chart to guide his footsteps in the
3.000-meter event, the feature of the

ment Armory in Brooklyn, February
Z.
Nurmi is d mechanical craftsman
In his native Finland. An eight-lap
banked track will be set up in the
armory for the Wilco games and
Nurmi will map out his running time
for each lap before he steps to the
track. He plans to memorize these
figures and with watch in hand will
time himself at the end of each lap,
keeping to his schedule closely.
The race is scheduled for 5000
meters, but the flying Finn Will drive
on TO the two-mile tape. En- route
he hopes to lower the existing marks
