possess the inherent strength necessary

ever, saw this defect eliminated, and it
was not long before the young Olympic
prospect was demonstrating that he
would some day take his place among
the leading 10 event men of all time.
In the games at Amsterdam four
years ago, Akilles, then % years of age,
placed second to his fellow townsman,
Paavo Yrjola, the winner of the dacath-
lon title. Now, four years older, he has
come into his full powers, and has al
ready proved his right to be considered
the premier decathlon candidate of Eu-
rope, and potentially the foremost in
the world.
IN the Olympic games Of 1928 Yrjola

Tillo, the Argentine fyweight, isn't a
champion never saw one"
A r the next Olympic village stop
n ran into two entries who slaugh-
ter the old idea that chestiness is
the ruling virtue.
They happen to be Bill Carr, the 400
meter star, and Penrose Hallowell, Har-
wards l,500-meter hope. Here are the
most relaxed entries In camp, and two
of the most modest. Both blushed
when any one mentioned the matter of
winning Each changed the subject
to another event, after admitting they
never felt better.
Carr Is an Arkansas boy, who ap-
pears slight in track suit and much
smaller In citizens clothes. In this lat
ter attire he is almost frail. Hallowell
is also on the slender side.
Carr shows no sign of worry. For
that matter neither does Hallowell, who
Is in the rougher sector with block OF
great milers. looking for his Harvard
Thomas, Lovelock and Cornes of Great
Britain and New Zealand, Becalh of
Italy, etc. =.
"The last time ran against Cornes,"
Hallowell said. "he told joke just as
we started"
what was the joker" I asked.
1--WE forgotten" he replied. but 1t
was good enough to make us all laugh
and we we're still laughing when the
gun was fired"
You can at least bank on Carr and
Hallowell to be somewhere in the imme-
diate vicinity when the tape is reached.
IF you want another vote can nomi-
/ nate Ben Eastman. After smash
ing campaign that began back in
March-that called for weeks rest
after the trials-the Stanford flyer has
exactly eight days left in which to
restore his supply Of surplus nervous
energy before he meets his next assign
| ment-which comes just week from
| today in the first trials.
Eastman has also been fighting a
cold. He has at least four world records
at the 400 and 800 routes to look, back
on, and yet it is still a question as to
how much of the old keenness be will
have left when the big moment comes
week from Friday In the final race
Eastman's case is one of the most
interesting. for he is one of the greatest
natural runners that ever lived, game
to the last stride. struggling away from
| staleness as the old olive sprig fiutters
just beyond.
IN the meanwhile there is a startled
i look on the faces of most of the
invading women athletes when some
one mentions the name Of Mildred
! CTexas Babe) Didrikson, the one-girl
track team. But after calling on two
or three visiting trainers from other
countries ! found they seem to be pretty
sure that Miss DidSikson, even In her
three events, will have much harder
time winning than she has ever had
before.
This is prophecy that Miss
Didrikson Is facing with abnormal
cheerfulness. She is quite willing to
prove her place in the Western sun
against the pick of the nations and no
one else in camp seems to be in better
shape. For her three events are barely
good warmup. Here is an addition
to the most interesting athlete in camp
that will get more than a few votes
She qualities around the top in this

The real battle, centering around
this rules proposal, was looked for
in the congress, with Finland's dele
gates supported, at least on techni-
grounds, by the United States. Both
sides claimed they would win the

Finland claims the suspension Of
Nurmi was highly irregular and the
evidence against him is second

European athletic jealousies have
been bitterly stirred by the fight
within the federation, with the
Swedes, Germans, British and
French leading the attack on the

The Finnish leaders have the au-
thority to withdraw their entire
team If Nurmi is not reinstated, but
they are not expected to exercise
this no matter what the decision.

vinen, however. had the distinction Of
erasing Yrjola's best marks of the
books. The brilliant and versatile Fin
nish athlete went through the decath-
lon In grand style to total S,255.47s
points.
Jarvinens versatility is seen in the
fact that he Is extremely proficient in

his world mark has since been surpassed

by an American athlete, Jarvinen's early
training, coupled with his inherent
competitive aggressiveneSs and athletic

All Finland is looking to Jarvinen to
come through. His whole life has been
spent in a series of preparations for
this great event, and the elder Jarvinen
it appears, is about to witness the real

staff. to charge them with the job oi
locating their banks and .getting theiI
staffs, and to discuss with them the
bookkeeping and accounting system
which We have devised as q general
guide for all banks.
while not so important as getting
the banks open ON October is, we want
the officers here SO they can absorb
