NURMI-RAY RACE ROW STARTS—WABASH-FRANKUN ‘DOPE’ SCRAMBLED
Yank Runner Challenges Finn for > Mile Event and Criticises Paavo for Running ‘Trick Distances.’ Bu United Press NEW YORK, Feb. s.—Paavo Nurmi is not afraid to meet Joie Ray in a mile race. He is willing to meet anyone at a fair distance. Hugo Quist, his manager, made this announcement today. In withdrawing from the two-mile race here Saturday in which he was to have run against Nurmi, Ray criticised the “trciick distances” that the Finn is running and challenged him to meet him in a mile race.
Ray said he always has been willing- to race at any standard distance and that he never had asked for special opponents, special conditions or special distances. In answering Ray, Quist said that when -Nurmi was allowed to name his own distance he naturally picked the ones that would not be too much of a burden on him. He has assumed a terrific program and does pot wish to run himself out every night. Nurmi competed in a special twomile race at the Newark A. C. games Wednesday and won by a lap from Gunner Nielson and Umar Prim, and by almost two laps over Gus Fager.

Fans here are guessing just what line-up Griz Wagner will starH against the Scarlet. Lyons, who gota chance at the pivot job in the,’ Earlham game and went good, Is a possibility. He may not start the important contest, however, because of his inexperience. Burl Friddle may be used. It is figured Chadwick of Wabash is sure to get the tip, anyway. Fuzzy Vandivier is booked to start at a forward job, but he has been out of the game now for some time with an injured side and It Is unlikely he will be in very good shape. ; Ballard and King are doing well enough at guard. They will have a task ahead of them Friday In stopping the lightning-like thrusts •of Robinson, DeVol and Burdette. The game appears one big “If.” If Vandivier and Friddle can stand the pace Franklin may continue on its victory march. If not the game may be a different story. If Coffel Is really In bad shaped Wabash will be handicapped badly as Coach Vaughn has no one as good to put in. Meanwhile, every one is waiting anxiously for Friday night to roll around.
