was not too surprising that the
lanky Swede still was pretty much
at sea so hours after he landed.
He must have got in his practice

mile he turned in on the boards
was just stroll compared to what
he really can do.
We would have been willing to
bet a little that he would not agree
to run so soon after arriving, as he
is proud fellow and it takes a
lot of gulping of such pride to &C

and the probability he would do
well to finish before curfew.

break a record under the latter

Not only the fans, but the other
athletes went out of their way to
make the Swedes feel at ease, pat.

hands and doing their best to ease
the strain of a strange environ

a tall, longlegged young man in

the sticks with sort of a jerky
motion, taking off a little quick

and Shaping his front foot down
sooner to get in stride for the next
jump.
AS for Haegg, he warmed up
briefly about an hour before his
race, taking his last lap at quar-
ter-miler's clip. He showed the
same feathery tread he showed
outdoors, using the boards simply
as a take-off point rather than
driving down into them as SO many
pounding runners do.
AS to the race itself, he was
in jam at the first turn, then tried
to get out in front, undoubtedly
both to protect himself from fly
ing spikes and to set a pace he
thought he could hold. When the
rest Of the field finally did pass
him it went by him like he was
picking daisies and he settled
down to a dog trot, intent only on
finishing.
We have an idea he'll do much
much better next Saturday. About
a Ais mile would be our guess
if he can unite those sea knots in
his legs.
