Departing from the usual custom,
the Jolley trophy conferred upon the

ing that to select one team for 1928
would be doing an injustice to sew

Accordingly they picked out seven

WIDE WOULD RACE
NURM| At Z MILES
SWede Challenges Finn by
Entering A. A. U. Indoor
Championships.
BY TED vOSBURGH.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n YEW YORK, February with
out ostentation, but with
NJ plenty OF confidence, Edwin
i Wide, the visiting school
teacher from Stockholm.
tossed quiet challenge to his old
rival, Paavo Nurni, today.
In the most matter of-fact manner
in the world the great Swedish runner,
who has matched strides with Nurrni Il
dozen times and beaten him twice, re-
vealed that he intends to enter the
Emile race in the National A. A. u.
championships at Madison Square Gar
den February % in the hope of trying
conclusions with the famous Finn.
The match appears as good as made,
as Paavo never was one to pass up a
worthy foe, and has previously an
nounced his intention of running in
the title games. Only the particular
event to be chosen was withheld, and
since three of the first four races on
Nurmi's American itinerary were at
miles it is only logical to suppose he
will pick this distance for his title bid.
Nurmi Apt to Enter Race.
II Nurmi were uncertain before as to
whether he should tackle the 2-mile or
the mile, the gauntlet thus thrown
down by Wide can hardly help but de-
eide the matter for him. When an
athlete is so far ahead of the field as
Paavo, real challenges from worthy
contender are all too few to let go by
default. 473ss
With these advance signs indicating
that the duel definitely will take place,
the race stands out as one Of the great
est natural attractions the indoor track
has ever seen. While Nurmi holds the
world indoor record for miles at 8
minutes 58H seconds, as well as the
honor Of being the only winner in his
tory to cover the distance in less than
nine minutes, Wide comes close to
matching this performance with his
world outdoor record Of 9:0125.
On that occasion. at Charlottenburg,
In September, 1926, he conquered Nurmi
himself, and at about the same time
beat him at 1900 meters as well. Wide
is one Of the two or three men in all
the world who have proved 1t is possible
to finish ahead of the wonder man.
Wide Soon to Retire.
This may be the last opportunity for
the great Scandinavian pair to battle
1t out over the classic distance at which
they hold the rival records, or over any
other route, as Wide added the in
formation that he plans to retire from
competition at the end Of the season.
