Sweden
Spotlight On Sports

Swedish sports had a top year
in 1948. In the Olympic Games
Sweden showed herself one of the
worlds leading nations in sports.
She was second only to the U. S.
in the London summer games; and
won the winter games at st. Mo-
ritz. At London, Sweden won II
gold, II silver, and II bronze med
ais. Swedish skiers won nearly all
top places in the cross-country
races at st. Moritz.
In the summer games, Sweden
was tops in soccer, wrestling Gre
co-Roman style) in walking, shoot
ing, and canoe padding.
The greatest track and field VIC
tory came in the 1,5OO-meter race.
Fireman Henry Ericsson nosed out
the favorite, and fellow country
man, Lennart Strand.
Most acclaimed in Sweden
among other Swedish victories
were the win in the soccer final
and Captain William Grut's gold
medal in pentathlon.
Prince Bertil, president of the
National Sports Association, de-
voted motorist and former athlete
and skater, witnessed the London
and St. Moritz Olympics. Present
also was another Swede, interna-
tional sportsleader ]. Sigfrid Ed
strom, president of the Interna
tional Olympic Committee.
Early in 1949 the National
Sports Association had a member
ship of more than $4,000 in near
ly $500 clubs. The greatest num-
bers were in soccer, skiing, and
track and field.
Not included in the NSA figures
are 100000 marksmen in 2,400
clubs.
Swedes as a whole are more
sport participants than sports
spectators. Six out of every ten
men between Is and so years are
estimated to take part in some
sport; in women, the rate is l to
10, between Is and 40 years.
Physical Fitness
The Swedish system of gymnast-
les and physical culture enjoys
world esteem. Although employ
ing some new methods and quite
modernized, the system is based on
the principles set forth by Per
Henrik Ling in the early 1S00's.
Sponsoring Ling gymnastics is
the Swedish Gymnastic Associa-
ton, an organization embracing "a
districts with $500 clubs. The to-
tai membership is 100000 of whom
10000 are active gymnasts.
This voluntary movement is aid
ed financially by the Gymnas-
tic Assistance Society; the aims
are also promoted by a Peoples
Gymnastic high school at Lillsved
near Stockholm.
Like other peoples high schools.
the Lillsved school gives general
citizenship training; but gymnast-
les takes an important place on
the curriculum. Its object is to
train leaders for the gymnastic
movement.
Recently gymnastics for house
wives has been a remarkable fea
ture of popular gymnastics. Start
ing in 1912 as small group who
wanted relaxation from household
work, this movement has now over
80, 900 followers. All groups of So
ciety are represented and all ages
to 70.
A rhythmic system for the fe-
male sex, based upon Ling's prin-
ciples. has been worked out by
Maja Carlquist. Under her lead
ership are the Sofia Girls.

Will SET Record
Meet Is Biggest and
Best Since Nurmi Ran
Here rs Years Ago
By Lewis F. Atchison

The smartest collection of milers
in the country will be shooting for
a new meet record in the third
annual Evening Star Games at
the Armory tomorrow night and
Dorsey Griffith, director of the
affair, thinks the winner will get it..
The mile gets top billing by a
slender margin in what shapes up
as the biggest and best indoor
track meet held in Washington
since Paavo Nurmi carried his
alarm clock to victory in the 1900
yards test at old Convention Hall
some Is years ago. A 600-yard
race among the best men at that
distance and a 1.000-yard invita-
ton involving the best of the COL
legiate crop will crowd the mile
for attention. but the longer race
shapes up as the games center
piece.
Griffith has only one worry and
it seems to be a trifle far fetched
He merely hopes the mile develops
into the sort of footrace it should
be and not a duel of masterminds
Remember the famous 4:4O
mile at New York some years ago
when Gene Venzke, Glenn Cum

Although he is headed for a
full season on the indoor board
tracks, TWomey prefers to train
on grass, and golf courses are
his favorite sites. However, as
a golfer, he's never hit a stroke.
Twomey won the AAU title
in Fresno, Calf, last year in
1926. He is a former two-mile
champion of the Big Ten, and
admits he prefers to run the
two-mile except. when it comes
down to actual practice. Then
at the end of a mile, the next
mile looks awfully tough.
In the first edition of The
Star Games two years ago,
Twomey ran anchor on the VIC
torious University of Illinois
tWo-mile relay team. He missed
the meet last year as he wasn't
quite ready for competition.
Twomey, two pounds over his
favorite weight of 100, works on
a farm in Western Illinois. This
is the slack season and he is
taking advantage of it.
Towmey was making a bold
bid for the Sugar Bowl mile
title two weeks ago, leading the
five-man field by a step when
somebody caught his heel at the
three-quarter mark. He lay on
the track while the others STEP
ped over him, and then slowly
and groggily stood up. His head
cleared in a few seconds and he
took off after the others, but
had too much ground to make
up. ALT Holmberg of the Ten
nessee Frosh, also entered here,
won.
Twomey has the utmost re-
spect for Don Gehrmann, the
Nations top miller from Wis
consin. and the other seven
milers in the field of the $40
event tomorrow night. But he
has beaten most of them be-
fore, and with slight edge in
condition, he might beat them
all tomorrow night.

he asked. That's what we don't
want. If these boys run their best
races. I'm sure we'll see one of the
best miles to be run anywhere in
the country this winter"
Palmer May Be Prominent.
Griffith doesn't expect any lag
ging tomorrow night. Bob Palmer
of Maryland, for one, is expected
to make the field hustle. He
made the mistake of letting his
rivals get a 20-yard lead last year
and wound up third behind the
winner. George Wade of Yale,
who hit the tape in 4:18.1. This
time Coach Jimmy Kehoe has in
structed Palmer to go out with the
leaders and try to run away from
them at the finish.
Palmer and Joshua Tobey of
Brown are a couple of dark horses
in the mile. Tobey came down
with an attack of mumps last
winter and had to withdraw from
The Star Games, but Coach Ivan
Fuqua reports he's ready to make
up for lost time.
