GAEVLE. Sweden. Feb. 13.-Every

Haegg's world running records, right
down to the split second, except
Gunder Haegg himself. This clean
cut, lanky Swedish fireman with
steel-spring leg muscles admits he
seldom can recall exactly what mark
he set in this or that race. To be
certain he has to dive into the record
book
1t isn't because Haegg has set so
many new marks-1l in little more

he's shy, retiring and not inclined
to talk about it. Besides, establish

MIN much.
Il just run my heart out to win,
not to break records" he explained.
IF I do set new mark it's just
luck"
The 24-year-old Haegg has such
a smooth, effortless stride that he
seems to glide over the ground. He
likes to run in front of his field
and set his own pace.
