Speaks Over Radio.
After breaking the three records
last night, Paavo Nurmi, Finnish
runner. spoke in his native tongue To
radio listeners from the municipal
| radio broadcasting station. Nurmi
said:
THE youngster of today has every
incentive owe. here to aspire to ath-
letic achievement. 1t is very impor-
tant to keep in the best physical con-
dition always. No youth can ever
hope to negotiate the peak in athletic
competition unless he constantly
| keeps himself in condition. This
means cleanliness Of mind as we'll as
| body.
1--WE in Finland appreciate the en-.
viable position the United States oc-
| cupies In athletic competition. This
| Is a splendid sign of the progress ol
American youth.
THE men and boys who are EN-.
ploying their time in mental and
physical Improvement are going to
| hit the tape ahead in the great game
outside the stadiums and running
| tracks"
Ray Ready For Finlander.
| CHICAGO, January 16.-Joie Ray
| the little Chicago middle distance
star, is primed for his supreme effort
on the board track at the Coliseum
| tonight.
After years in possession of world
records at his chosen distances, Ray
| has seen Paavo Nurmi, the Finnish
wonder, race in time that has clipped
seconds from the records of his bes,
efforts.
Tonight Ray hopes to retrieve some
| IF the prestige he has seen spurned
| after the flying feet of the Finnish
| invader. In their mile-and-three.
| quarters race at the games OF the
Illinois A. c. tonight Ray counts con.
| ditions decidedly in his favor. The
12-lap track with its increased num-
| ber of turns, with which Nurmi Is
J unfamiliar, will be an advantage, but
| greater Ray counts the all night ant
day ride from New York, where
Nurmi dashed to three world records
last night.
Willie Ritola, who finished behind
| Nurmi last night, will be the thir6
man in tonight's contest.
University and athletic club stars
will compete in other events.
| Every nook of the Coliseum has
been turned into seating space, bu,
tickets have been at premium fol
days.
