It is understood that if Williams or any other oi the Canadian track men attend any of these meets which they have been invited thW will not participate in solo events.

Whether Nurml actually tried and was unequal to the final spuri- or whether it was prearranged for llltola to win a share of lsumls, as appeared from the stands. remained a mystery. If ti! latter was the case, the old feud between the pair must be ended for Paavo took special delight in whipping Willie l few years ago.

There were only two final events today and of these the 400 metres by reason of the terrific finish held the premier place on the pro- gram.
