FOUR MINUTE MILE
IS SEEN BY FINN
Paavo Nurmi Predicts That
Some Runner Will Set
Record By 1850

NEW ORLEANS, April 1S-LPe
Paavo Nurmi. the old flying Finn
looked into the future today anc
predicted that ten years hence some
body is going to run a four-minute
mile.
The retired distance runner, whose
IOlympic record is an athletic legend
old today, comes along about 1850
with that accomplishment it Will
not be a great surprise because be-
fore then there will be 4.03, 4.02 and
4.01 miles.
Nurmi is here with his Finnish
protege, Taisto MAXI, who will run
against Don Lash Sunday for the
Finnish relief fund.
It's foolish to consider the four
minute mile beyond the limit of hui
man possibilities" he said in precise,
deliberate English.
1.-The remarkable feats of Jack
Lovelock, Glenn Cunningham, Sid
Wooderson and now Chuck fenske
have proved that the figure will be
driven down consistently. Competi-
ton has done decomposition and
the great gift you Americans have
for concentration. l think we Firms
have some of it, too.
81 specialized in the mile,
but j honestly believe that if l had
concentrated on the mile, as have
Cunningham, Fenske, Wooderson
and these others. l could have driven
the time down to 4.06 or 4.07 fifteen
years ago. If that had happened,
perhaps the four-minute mile would
have been here by now"
Asked how such a mile would be
run, the great Finnish runner quick
ly replied:
1T will be run even speed. Four
6~0-second quarters. That is less
exertion and that is the way it will
be done"
