son&l ides.s and he does not believe they would apply to general cases. When asked what he would suggest to young American boys as the proper way to learn how to run, he replied he couldn’t offer any lessons or he couldn't teach any one how to run. He was willing, however, to point out why so many American yuongsters can’t run faster than they do. “Your boys,’’“'he Said, “go about it with too much haste. They burn themselves out too quickly. The most Important thing Is to have a body to carry you over any distance that you want to run. American boys seem to have th© idea of getting speed before they build up their body to endure the strain of running. I ran for four yeare principally for the amusement and exercise I gained by it, before I got any idea I could run. I trained for three years for the 1920 Olympic games and I ran for four years before I tried for fast time. In that long period of preliminary training, I built up my body and acquired a natural form. When the time came for me to try for speed I had both the mechanical and physical essentials.’’ Nurmi was asked to explain why he selected a style of almost flat-

SHORTRIDGE WINS TWELVE STRAIGHT * 4 Tries for Thirteenth Tonight at Noblesvllle, * Shortridge High School's fast flying net squad made It twelve straight Friday night at the north side gym, when they took Thorntown into camp to the tune of 63 to 19. The half-time count was 23 to 6. The S. H. S. five showed much improved teamwork over its last game, and seems to haye warded off a threat of st&leness. Shortly after the start of the second period, with the score 38 to 11, an entire new five was sent in, composed of McDowell, Elrod, Brafford, Hoit and Callender. The relief men outscored the visitors in the remainder of the contest, but showed a tendency to commit fouls, perhaps due to their efforts to keep up the pace set by their predecessors. Another capacity crowd packed the Shortridge gym. A large delegation of students will accompany the Blue and White netters to Noblesvllle tonight, where Shortridge will strive for Its thirteenth consecutive victory.

"I don’t know what my style is,” he replied. "I only know it is the form that came to me naturally when I was trying to get a stride and a style that enabled me to get the most distance with the least exertion. I didn’t study any one’s style and I didn’t do any copying, as Kohlemainen was the only great runner I evor saw before I went to Antwerp.

ANDERSON SHOWS CLASS IN DEFEAT OF ‘ALICES’ .. V Staggmen Down Old Rivals in Thrilling Struggle Winners Finish Strong—Starr Tosses Thirteen Fouls. Bu Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., Jan. 24.—Eclipsing every effort of the team which last week out-brillianted the famous Frankfort flashes, the Anderson Indians, true to traditions of their fighting instincts, put Vincennes High School into the shadow of the Hoosier basketball realm with a 39 to 28 victory here Friday flight. Before a howling crowd of 5,000 fans, which had squeezed its way into the new Anderson gym, the Staggmen fought a fight which was wholly unlike all Stagg performances of the past.

The Indiana had been given new tactics, they had been taught new methods of warfare, and the manner In which they hit the trail was disheartening to the forty faithful Vincennes fans who sat In agony and mute dismay. Snyder Shine* Anderson showed a disregard for the touted Adams five-man defense. An offense timed for speed in push and drive swept aside all semblance of the setting up tactics of the stone wall entanglements. Snyder proved deadly at the basket, while Starr garnered the foul points made possible by the Alices’ rain attempt to stop this boy without penalty. Thirteen times did this Starr phenoin stand at the foul line and thirteen times did he drop the ball through the net. There was no back passing—the feature of St .gg-like offense hereto-

to run and then run some more. Some of the most successful rowing coaches have followed the same theory in forcing some of their crews to peddle at least twenty-flve miles. Nurmi has the same theory about mileage. “If a boy wants to learn how to run he can only acquire that knowledge by running,” he says. “I would suggest to young American boys who have a fondness for track sports that they decide upon the distance beei fitted to them. They tell me that Joie Ray, one of the finest runners I ever have seen, wanted to be a sprinter and when he didn’t succeed, he turned to the quarter-mile and failing there he became one of the greatest middle distance runners. “If you decide that you want to run a mile, go out and nn a mile,” he continued. “Run another mile and then another mile. Don’t try for speed. At first regulate your pace so that you will be fresh when you finish. You can’t develop natural speed when you are tired. Even if you have to trot for a mile, keep so that you feel like doing another mile. You should run miles and miles in that easy fashion until you feel that you could Increase your pace, but don’t get the idea too soon that you are ready to go out after speed. “Every mile that you run with-

O’Hara, who accompanied the Notre Dame team to California for the New Year’s Day classic and remained to care for Jimmy, saved the boy’s life by breathing into Crowley’s mouth during a spell of “air hunger.” Oxygen. administered later, restored Jimmy to consciousness.
