NEW YORK. February 24.-Paavo
Nurmi comes to his beloved track at
Madison Square Garden tonight, when
he will seek records for two miles to
5000 meters, in a set of games ar
ranged by the Amateur Athletic Union
to aid in raising fund for the build
ing of the Cathedral of st. John the

Nurmi appears to have forgotten the
art of establishing marks since he
departed from the New York A. c.

figures safely slowed away. That
night he selected for his oft-promised
under minutes" and he finished in
S.58 1-5.
Other stars will assist him in the
meet tonight. Ugo Frigerio of Italy,
who appears to be regaining some
of the prestige he lost in contests
with the American champion walker,
Willie Plant. will walk in a mile-and-

University of Maryland and Catho-

They originally were scheduled to
clash at College Park tomorrow
night. but owing to the fact that
Maryland must be in Atlanta Thurs

CornelI feelS that the emile
course has had a fair trial. 1t was in
1920 that the stewards voted for this
distance, but that year the race went
to Cayuga Lake, and it was decided
that 2 miles were long enough.
But in 1921-22-2324 the race was
for miles. 1t is recalled at Ithaca
that CorneIls greatest rowing vic
tories are associated with the 4mile
route. Some of the greatest Courtney
crews established their supremacy
over this course, including the 1901
eight, which still holds the world
record for 4 miles Is minutes SO 1-5
seconds.
Nor is the fact ignored that Cor
nell has not won a varsity race since
the 3-mile course was established, her
last victory being in 1915 at Pough-
keepsie.
The scales to the longer route seem
to have been inclined when Pennsyl-
vania abandoned an attitude long
maintained In this the influence of
Jim Rice, now working with Joseph
Wright at the University of Penn
sylvania,. is apparent. Rice has al
ways believed in the 4-mile race, and
Columbia, where he formerly coached,
has been strong for it.
So much has come out of New
Haven concerning the dropping OF
Capt.-elect Bingham of the Yale
foot ball team for scholastic def
cheney that a word or two in Bing-
hams behalf cannot be out of place.
First of all, the Yale alumni week
ly reproach fully states that the
marks after last foot ball season
showed that the young man was in
10 81 fro l.
lege after the midyear tests.
There was time enough to get up
on his work so that he could pass the
midyear examinations"
Yes, there was time enough. But
how about other elements involved
How about the boys mental and phys
ical condition. Throughout the sea-
son he had been one of the most
important members of a team fighting
to go through an undefeated season, a
team that finally succeeded in this
and in the course of the effort netted
S214,946.05 in financial returns.
The money thus earned makes pos
sible the conduct without parsimony
of an extensive and complex intra-
mural system of student exercise and
the support of productive inter
collegiate sports. Had he sat on the
bleachers and cheered with the other
students and alumni. Bingham prob
ably would be in Yale today doing
very we'll indeed. But in serving his
university on the athletic field he
gave his very best and. in all prob
