To the and file Yorkers he is merely one of seven million neighbors a quiet, hardworking chap who goes about the daily routine without attracting particular notice. When, however, there is a get-together of local Swedish Americans, such as that at the recent Ernie Hjertberg birthday narty, John Eke takes on stature. It seems he is quite a fellow with those who knew him then. Robust oreetings are accorded him. There is evident pleasure when he Tresponds. Glasses are lifted and “skoals” exchanged, and they begin talking of his athletic exploits of a quarter century ago. The incident they best like to dwell upon occurred in 1912 when he was a member of Sweden's Olympic team. That was the year Hannes Kolehmainen of Finland stole the big headlines with victories in three distance events—the 5000-meter, 10,000-meter and runs. Yet, while no American seeks to deny

A Story of Heroism

John and his Swedish supporters | believed he was set to win that con- |

test. For the first 2000 meters of

the 10,000-meter course there was nothing to alter that view. At the 2000-meter mark, however, lacing snapped in one of John's spiked shoes, and after a few more strides in which the thong grew looser the shoe flew from his foot. With his goal 8000 meters away, aver rough ground and stubble and then a final turn on the cinder oval of the Olympic Stadium, John’s retirement was a natural expectation. But John didn’t retire. With one shoe off and one shoe on, forward drove Mrs. Eke’s son John. His bare and unprotected foot picked up bruises and blisters at almost every stride. It was red with blood from many cuts when he arrived at the stadium for the whirl around the cinders, But John still ran. His bare foot could not grip the track for a final drive to match that of Kolehmainen. But John Eke did race home in third place and into a lasting place in the hearts of his countrymen.

Svanberg at that time, it appears, | had his own ideas on diet and training. When, as the moment of the race approached, he was not on the track for a preliminary warmup, those who knew his ideas began a tour of the nearby bars. Just as they expected, they found him standing against one of them— standing only because he was using the bar for support. In the words of the poet, “he didn’t have a leg under him.’ He had to be carried to the arena, set in place, and supported while his relay mates covered the early laps. Then, after dinning into his ears the seriousness of the situation, they shoved Svanberg out on the track. And John, seizing the baton, broke out with a burst of speed and went on to win Sweden’s most unexpected victory. Now, having opened with Jacks, we get Ernest. His last name is Viberg, and it and its owner are known to local sports followers because he is associated with the Giants and the Polo Grounds.

Coach Would Drop Three-Second Rule

By NEA Service NEW YORK, Jan. 30. — Paul Mooney, Columbia basketball coach, has come up with a suggestion to eliminate the much-argued-about three-second rule, , “I say throw out the three-second rule in its present form and substitute for it a rule providing that any man who takes a stationary position in the foul zone with his back to the basket may use the position only to pass,” he explains, “In other words, he would be ineligible to put up a shot until he received a return pass from one of his mates. This would eliminate the pulling, tugging and pushing we used to see at the pivot post.” KID CHOCOLATE REJECTS By NIA Service NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—Kid Chocolate rejected a featherweight championship match with Henry Armstrong in Los Angeles in February.

United Press Staff Correspondent. | NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—As a fight, | it wasn't much. The only thing | that suffered was Joe Louis’ prestige. He won the decision, but Bob Pastor grabbed the glory for staying the distance. Joe missed a thousand punches and Bob was too busy ducking to throw any.

Louis looked worse after the bout than Pastor. His nose was swollen and trickled blood. His eyes were bloodshot. He claimed both resulted from Bob butting him and gouging his thumb into his eyes when they clinched. “Naw, he nevuh hurt me,” he said. “And I nevuh hit a good un neither. I knows I can whip him anytime I fights him, but I don’ know whethah I can knock him out ‘cause I don't know whether I can ketch him. He ain't much of a fighter; jes’ a runner.” Pastor was winded slightly by 10 rounds of bicycling, but he said he was not tired a bit, “I was trained for 15 rounds, and I believe I could have beaten him if it had gone that long,” he said, “I wasn't hurt at all at anytime, He didn't hit me enough to do any damage. He had one annoying punch—an uppercut in close—but it didn't do any harm. 1 guess the fight was close, but I'd like to get in there with him again.” Asked why he didn't try to ‘mix it, Bob replied: “I wanted to, plenty of times, but

The new lamp is looked upon as one of the most important and suc cessful aids to safe driving evolved recently by illuminating engineers, Mr, Hayes said. “Automotive engineering skill, which provides aids such as correct lighting, has made it a rather com=monplace performance for the modern motor car to be driven safely on fast schedule in all kinds of weather,” he explained, “Today the average driver has a feeling of security as he travels the highways, night and day, in dust storms, blinding rain and blankets of fog. “The new Ford road lamp is fixed [to the front bumper arms. Tt sends [out a long, low beam to supplement | the headlamps. The beam penetrates under headlamp glare to illuminate the edge of the road clearly. “The Tord lamp is equipped with |an amber lens which reduces the reflection of light from suspended | | moisture particles in the air and | provides a soft non-glare light for a | [safe distance ahead of the moving car.” |

Retrning to the Don uHerr Co. the air pressure was checked and showed only a slight loss of air.
