Further information regard ing the occasion will be issued later by the committee. 4Fimi’ Lindgren (Continued from fiat/e three) will come this year. What he de sires more than anything else is his third stripe which will make him eligible for his varsity blanket and the five-^ear pass for all athletics events of the University. Lindgren ran his first meet in Uniontown, a district of "Finn ville-by-the-sea” when he was 11 years old. The Rotary club was holding its Olympics for boys 12 years or over. Arne being too young, fibbed his age and placed fourth in the 200 yard dash and in the standing broad,jump. In high school he participated in football, basketball, and track. He was on John Warren’s state championship basketball squad in 1930. When he was a freshman at the University he made his num eral in basketball and track. He played forward and center on the maple court. In high school track wasn't popular to any extent. Conse quently he used to go down to the river sandlots by old “Suomi” hall, where the Finns trained all day long. It wasn’t at all surpirsing to see several 40-year old men in their leisure moments running the mile or the half mile with the kids, throwing the shot, discus, and jav elin. or jumping. A national Finnish fraternal or ganization, the Kaleva brothers and sisters are forever holding picnics here and there throughout the Northwest, and in these picnics the athletics events are one of the Bonuses Babes !

There are 125 employes, over 100 of these married. main attractions. While trying out for the Astoria chapter team, "Finn” Lindgren jumped 20 feet, one-half inch the first time he ever tried the running broadjump. He won first place in the track meet held in connection with the grand convention of the lodge in Aber deen, Washington. He was some big potato then. "At these meets,” Arne ex plained, "the kids and the old men would go forth to throw the shot, discus, javelin, hammer, run the hundred, and possibly some of the longer races, high jump, broad jump, and then after the events go eat hot dogs and pop and go swimming. Then that night they’d dance.” "Finn” is an institution in the ASUO training rooms. He helps Bob Officer tape ankles, and as a rub-down expert, the boys says he has such a soothing touch. He was trainer for the freshman foot ball team last year. His ambition is to secure a good position coach ing track, basketball, or football. As basketball coach at Univer sity high, he placed his green team at the half way mark of the league. mirks Are Hosts (Continual from (ni/e three) State; (Daneri, Kidder, Eckmen, Buckley); Oregon (Sinnette, Lacy, Lindgl'cn Goodfellow).
