Tops Meet Record
By BILL BOM
NEW YQRK, Feb. 3-P)-Chuck
Fenske, tacking a biasing last
quarter on to the sizzling early
pace set by Blaine Rideout. won
the 15th running of the Wana
maker mile tonight before a sell
out crowd of 16.000 at Madison
Square Garden in 4 minutes 7.4
seconds, beating Glenn Cunning
ham by three yards. The time was
the fastest ever recorded in the
garden.
Not only was it the fastest in
dividual mile the garden ever has
seen, but it probably also was the
fastest collective effort seen any
where, on board track or cinders.
Cunningham, running in this
event for the last time In his
career, turned in a second-place
4:07.7 that would have been good
DeGroot said by telephone that enough to win all previous Wana-
he wil Ido everything possible to
keep "Pop" Warner on the staff
of San Jose State. His ability and
rame mean much to the school."
Warner, in a discussion of pos
sible successors to De Groot, said
ha would be glad to assist Ben
Winkleman of San Jose, now line
coach at Stanford, should Winkle-
man be named to the post
maker miles with over three sec
onds to spare. Gene Venzke, in
third place, and Lou Zamperint of
California, in fourth, were caught
in exactly the same time, 4:08.2.

that Taisto Maki and Paavo
Nurmi were welcomed to New
York today.
As they came up the bay short
ly after sunrise in the Norwegian-American
liner Bergensf jord,
the questions had very little to
do with track. They dealt almost
exclusively with FInland'a great
stand against Russia's numeric
ally snperior forces.
Maki, who looks like Bob Meu
sel and has taken over Nurml's
title of "phantom Finn" as well
as most of his records, said the
Russian soldiers were "very bad"
but their arms and equipment
"excellent." The blue-eyed, curly
haired, ruddy-faced 29-year-old
runner denied be had been
wounded in his six weeks at
the front, but said he had suf

Nurmi. who is 43 and balder
and considerably stouter than on

Cunningham thus took his third
indoor beating of the winter and
lost a chance for his seventh vic
tory In eight Wanamaker mile
starts.
Rideout was timed in 56.8 sec
onds for the first quarter and
2:01 for the half. Fenske. timed
in 3:04 "at three-quarters, ran the
li-st 400 in 63.4.
While Cunningham failed to get
