IN eign track and field stars, in
vading the United States for
the indoor season, inevitably
face difficult task in adapting their
style to board tracks, and only few
have been able to overcome the handi-
cap.
Paavo Nurmi the Finnish phantom, -
and Charley Hoff, crack Norwegian
pole vaulter, were the outstanding ex-
ceptions. 1t remains to be seen whether
Seraphin Martin and Paul Keller, famed
French middle-distance runners, can
show the same disregard as Nurmi and
Hoff did for such a radical change in
competitive conditions.
Martin and Keller, due here today
aboard the lie de France, have only a
few days to train before they are asked
to go cut against the best America can
offer. Martins first appearance is in
the MillroSe A. A. games on Saturday,
when he starts in a special half-nile
race against Russell Chapman, great
Bates College runner, and others. Kel-
lers American debut will be made in
the Seton Hall College games at Newark
on Monday.
All four races in which Martin will
compete while here are to be run on
banked tracks permitting the use Of in
door spiked shoes. but Keller, in two
races. will be running on fiat armory
floors.
The runners full schedule follows:
February 7-Millrose A. A, New York,
