 New York, Feb. 19 - (U.P) -- If Gunder Hagg the wandering Swedish wonder arrives in New York this week (possibly today), he will try to establish new indoor world record for the three-mile run in the American Indoor track and field championships at Madison Square Garden Saturday night.
 The present mark of 13 minutes 45.7 second was made by Greg Rice in the championships of 1942.
 Could an athlete step off boat after long voyage and, with prac- tically no preparation. threaten the record? Particularly a cinder spe- cialist like Hagg, who has no prev ious experience on the indoor boards?
 Dan Ferris, white-haired, apple checked executive secretary of the A. A. U., said today, it would pc quite possible. An ordinary athlete could not do it. But Hagg is no or dinary athlete. He might break the record if he's anywhere near form. Remember that Gunder made an outdoor world record of 13:324 for three miles in AZ. The difference of 133 second between his mark and that of Rice gives him considerable leeway."
 Would Hagg have stimulating competition in the event?
 Farris said that about 30 of the f1.xf,c dict fttSN entered. The best apparently in Forrest Flaw of the Navy, formerly of Oklahoma A. and M, who won easily the tWo-mile event In the New York A. c. games at the Gar den Saturday night.
 Other stalwarts are Clayton Far rar of the New London Coast Guard, National 20-kilometer champion; Henry Walsh of New York's Pioneer Club, Metropolitan three-mile king; Fred Feiler of Drake 8 mid-WeStern standout; John F. Kanl of Cornell, National Junior Cross Country champ; and Henry R. Wisner of Baltimore, National Junior Steeple- chase boss. Also Arthur TruXes of West Point, and Curran Dempsey of the Naval Academy.
 If Hagg arrives, he will compete in four meets on consecutive Saturdays after this weeks championship These meets are: the intercollegiate championships at the Garden, March 3; the New York Knights of Columbus games at the Garden. March 10; the Chicago Relays, March IT; and the Cleveland K. of c. games, March 9.
 Ferris and the meet promoters hope that Gunder arrives Pronto. His presence is needed to pep up attendance. Three major meets al- ready staged two in New York and one in Boston suffered from a decrease in customers. Ferris said the decrease was due largely to the abesnce of so many red-hot track fans who are in service. He was confident that Hagg's name and fame would bring the casual" fans swavming to the competitions.
