Some believe that the Torm and style by American coaches Is obsolete and that the Nurmi style of almost flat-footed running is the best This talk that the United States never will have good distance run- UK ners again uuea um uuiu ewu mm me," Ernie HJertsberg, former American coach, said. "There are runners In this country now that Could become just abotu as good as Nurmi If they really wanted to." HJertsberg Is a Swede who lived in this country for years.

He coached the Swedish Olympic team in 1920, and was in charge of Hol land's team last year. Nurmi ought to have 6ome good ideas on the subject and his opinions should carry considerable weight. Nurmi is generally regarded as the greatest runner that ever lived. He won four events for Finland in the Olympic games at Paris last summer and broke three records. He came to this country with a great reputation recently and lived up to it by making two new records officially and one unofficially, the first time he had ever competed on a board track.

He has established records at will and many authorities believe that be has never really extended himself. He said when he arrived in this country that his big ambition was to run a mile in 4:06, and there is llttlo doubt that he will be able to do it some time. "That fellow is good enough to run a mile In four minutes," a prominent coach said the night the Finn star made his American debut Nurmi believes that Americans! are to be considered as distance runners in the future. He does not feel that Americans are not strong enough or that they lack the endurance to run long races. "There are a number of fine runners in the United States," Nurmi said.

"Ray, Connolly and Hahn are three of the finest milers you can find in any country. I however, that there would be more bet ter distance runners in this country if training methods were changed. The ideas followed by American boys when they start running is wrong. When-you start wrong you waste time that never can be recovered and more harm than good is accomplished, tl is almost impossible to get a matured runner out of a bad form that he cultivated when he started to learn the game." Some of Nurml's Ideas about training and llTlnir will be continued tomorrow In a second chapter. MEET Ernest E.

Bearf, first assistant football coach at tho Unlyerslty of Illinois, at Urbana, will be head football coach at the UMyerilty of Nebraska. The committee appointed to select a new coach to take the place of Fred T. Dawson, who resigned to put in his full time as athletic director, made the announcement Friday morning. The committee's report, after a thoro InTestlgation of Coach Bearg's record was unanimous. The selection of the board was also glren unanimous endorsement tj the Athletio Board of Control of the University of Nebraska, to be effective March 1, 1925.

The investigation of the committee was entended and included a visit to Urbana and interviews with the players and others concerned man was exceptionally strong in his statement of the ability of Bearg, of his character and of his resourcefulness. Each and every man stated that they would be glad to work under him as head coach and that they knew any team would fight for him to the last While the above possibly doej pot Indicate so much in a positive way, the committee stated, still the fact that a half day was spent In gathering information and that no negative comment could be found anj place among the players, indicates his popularity and respect with the men that he has coached for periods ranging from three to four years and with whom he has had the most intimate contact and the same contact that he would have at Nebraska. Director of Athletics Huff recommends Bearg very highly as an efficient football coach and an able tactician. He would not willingly part with his services, but appreciates he can not have the future there that he could in head position in other schools. In addition to Bearg's ability in coaching football, he gives him great credit for his rounded out knowledge of athletics generally in connection with work in Illinois coaching school and work in courses of athletic directorship, which Bearg has taught at Illinois university.

Helped Investigators. Director Huff gave member of athletic board access to all inde pendent information in regard to Bearg. Head Coach Zuppke rates Bearg as one of the best pob ted football men in the country, keen student of the game and one of the best football scouts he knows. He has used Bearg as first assistant and backfleld coach, and states that Bearg can punt, drop kick, pass, and can possibly out run any man on the team with the exception of Grange, and what is more that he uues. Bearg's recommendations every place were very high, not only as regards his ability in coaching, but as to his character, integrity and the thought that he would natur ally and inherently instill clean sportsmanship in the minds of the students that he came in contact with.

Bearg is thirty-one, married, has three children, stands six feet one Inch, weighs two-hundred-six pounds, and is an ideal tpye of American manhood. Here are the records of the teams at Washburn while Coach Bearg was in charge of the coaching staff at that place: Taam of till. first year.) Midland Washburn Washburn Washburn Waahburn Waahburn (u.

He followed directly Coach Kennedy who had ended a disastrous season for Washburn Just preceding the war, during which Bearg was coaching Topeka high. Topeka State Journal said: "Coach Bearg is rated as the best coach Washburn has ever had" (This was written as he was leaving, and he really only put out one team, which was a winner, and then left before testing bis ability on succeeding teams.)

Early in June when we were playing a series in Newark and had an off day, Wiltse sent us both to the Polo grounds. "I want Mac to look you two birds over," he said. "You both look about ready for the big show to me.

Don't get lost or try to buy the Brooklyn bridge." He gave us minute directions how to reach the Polo grounds. I don't know how Bengough felt, but treading on air. I was going to get a chance to show John McGraw the great how good I was. He shook hands with me when I reported at the clubhouse, told me where to fet a uniform and watched me in fielding practice. He didn't rush for bis check book.

When the Buffalo club left Newark I was along. The next time I talked to McGraw was when we shook hands before the first game of the' world's series in Washington. "Hope tha best team wins, Bucky," the Giant leader said. "You deserve credit for landing your on top." "Thanks, Mr. McGraw," I an swered.

Mother put up a brave front when I entrained for military camp, I left on the morning of November 1L While waiting in Wllkesbarre to make an Allentown connection, news of the signing of tae armis tice arrived. The Pittston con tingent was ordered to return home. I telephoned mother. She answered tearfully. She had broken down, of course, arter I left, as so' many mothers did in -those dava.

I returned to Baltimore early in December and "worked In the shipyard until March. Then I received a contract from the Buffalo club. It called for $200 a month. I wrote President Lannla, asking for an increase. JIe raised the figures to $300 and I signed.

Mr. Lannin also owned an interest in the New ark club. It was sent from the Easton training camp to play with Newark in an exhibition game against the New York Yankees. I filled in at shortstop. Ernie Shore and Pete Schneider pitched for the Yanks.

Muddy Ruel, who was later to reach the top of his game as Washington's catcher, did the receiving. Ed Rommel was one of the Newark pitchers. He had been south with the Giants. He was beaten, but he pitched a good game. That season be won twenty-two games In the international league and the following year went up to the majors with the Athletics.

I didn't cover myself with glory at bat altho I did manage to get hold of one of Shore's When ball and bat met I was sure I had hit for extra bases. I weighed about 140 pounds at the time. This added weight and the careful coaching of Schulte the previous fall had added considerable power to my swing. As I rounded first I saw Duffy Lewis stretch out his hands and catch my line drive. The International league was a good school for youngsters that season.

The clubs had many ex perienced players who had outlived their days In the big leagues. They were a great help In polishing the ones on the upgrade and making them ready for the majors. Players, who, like me, were soon graduated from the international league, included George Kelly, Frank Brower, Frank Ellerbe, Fank O'Rourke, Al Schacht, Ed pommel, "Socks" Selbold, Charles See and Bennie Bengough. BUI Ryan was with Buffalo that season. He won fifteen games and the next year was recalled by the Giants.

Jack Bentley was with Baltimore. Wilbur Hubbell was pitching for Toronto. Inside of Matthews' Trip. Schacht, who was to be with me later in Washington, had a good season on the mound. He wasn't a comedian then, but a mighty good pitcher.

He won nineteen games and lost seventeen for Jersey City, He never seemed to have much ex cept headwork. He was one of the Iron men of the league. He was a pitcher who never had a real chance in the majors until he was pretty well burned out by hard work in the minors. Then he couldn't stand the big league pace. There are such cases and they are among the tragedies of the diamond.

Rube Barnham, Buffalo's leading pitcher and about the most effective in the league, won twenty-eight games. "Spark Plug" Matthews, who later made a notable record with the Athletics, was shunted back to the minors and came up again with Washington to help greatly in a successful pennant fight, was in the International with the rest of us ambitious youngsters. The Buffalo club was playing In Roches ter the day he reported. He was in a navy uniform, just having been discharged. He changed it for a baseball suit and made an Instant Impression.

He was a fiery little chap, a hard fighter and a hustler all the time. There was much speculation when Washington let him go at a crucial stage in the pennant race. He helped inspire the eam and his hitting was a factor 'In starting us on a winning streak when he had either to go ahead or drop out of the race. The truth of the matter is that in order to get McNeely, whose hit won the world's series, we bad to send Matthews to the coast. The terms of the deal called for 150,000 cash and an outfielder, Llebold was a ten year man and under baseball law we couldn't send him.

So Matthews, who had fallen into a slump, went and was recalled in the fall. My experience In Baltimore proved valuable before the 1919 season was far under way. I seemed to fit in well at second, base and was soon a fixture in that position. My batting improved. So did by fielding.

(CHAPTER NEW YORK, Jan.23 (United Press.) American athletic officials, with the nation's future in Olympic competition at heart, have been greatly concerned about the decline in the class of middle dis tance runners.

The American team failed to win a single distance event in the Olympic games at Antwerp in 920, and the showing made in Paris last summer was Just as bad. The United States, it would seem from Olympic records, has turned Into a nation of sprinters. The failure of American athletes to win any races at distances more than 200 meters not only is consid ered as a grave menace to the future success of American Olympic teams, but it is regarded as an equally serious indication that the virility of the American youth is not up to the standard of young' sters in foreign countries. It does not follow that American schoolboys are falling into the class of weaklings because their older brothers can't survive the test of a fast mile or the punish ment of a marathon, but it does in dicate that something is respon sible for the lack of runners like Sheppard, Jones and other stars of yesterday in the current class of athletes. Considering the natural advant ages that the United States has over a little country like Finland, in an elaborate and perfect educa tional' system.

In better economic conditions which enable boys to play more than boys In other coun tries and to learn how to play from the Instruction of skilled coaches, It Is strange that distance running has become such a lost art In this country. American coaches have been searching fo rthe cause of it and trying to flndthe solution for problem that they consider to be annoying if not more serious. It Is not flattering to lack a come back when an Englishman or mn says "You fellows can sprint, but when it comes to real running, you're not there." Walter Christie, track coach at the University of California, and one of the most competent men In his profession, is one of several authorities who blame the decline of distance running in the United States upon the automobile. Christie points out that a young ster will not walk two blocks If he cangrab a ride and that an automobile In the family garage has consigned running shoes to the ash-can. He has found In his experience that practically all of the young college students who report for the track sauad are more eater 1o do a hundred yards In "nine four" than they are in making a new record for amile.

BEARG. Assistant coach at the University of Illinois who was selected by the athletic board of the university as head football coach to succeed Fred T. Dawson, resigned. An nouncement of the selection was made Friday morning. preme) "I remember Bearg well.

He was a real man. It Is too bad Washburn let him get away so soon. Washburn hasn't had a football team since be left, except for Ream's 1920 team, inherited nearly all the players that Bearg had trained, Including the famous Wykoff." (Wykoff is the man who went to Georgia Tech.) R. K. Keller: I remember when Bearg first came out in a suit.

He was about the greenest man on the squad, couldn't remember the signals, but when given the ball could hit the line harder than any back I have ever seen. He was, however, a methodical and con scientious student, and never gave up a problem until he had mastered It. He soon became a star player and held it for three years. T. Dwight Ream: "I will tell you how Bearg happened to land a job at Illini as freshman coach During the summer school Zuppke required his -pupils to prepare papers which were read and graded much the same as regular examination papers.

The studied thoroness with which Bearg an swered these examination ques tlons gained the interest and at tention of Zuppke. In other wafdg, Bearg's extreme earnestness to master the coaching game was so very evident that Zuppke offered him a job immediately following the success of the 1919 Washburn team at a salary that Washburn couldn't at that time pay." His Coaching Work. Coach Bearg comes to Nebraska after four years as assistant to Coach Zuppke of Illinois university. In addition to helping to develop the football team during the coach ing season, Bearg had complete charge of the freshmen basketball squad. He also has supervision of football and basketball teaching In the coaches' school with-six instructors under him, and of the teaching of the organization and administration of physical education, a course for coaches.

He has also been Coach Zuppke's main scout and has traveled over a large amount of territory in scouting games, getting a line on other teams. He has given his time mainly to backfleld work at the Illinois school and had. the famous "Red" Grange under his tutorship. It is reported that Bearg is still considerable of an athlete himself and the only man on the Illinois varsity-squad who could outrun him was "Red" Grange. His coaching experience before going to Illinois was the Topeka high school in 1916 and 1917, and director of athletics at Washburn college until 1920.

He made a rec ord at Topeka high school and was highly recommended at Washburn. At Illinois he is connected with the coaching school where hundreds of coaches have had training under the Zuppke method. Zuppke is known as one of the shrewdest coaches in the big ten conference. A Good Combination. With Bearg as a backfleld coach and Coach Shulte as the Una coach at Nebraska the Huskers should have a coaching machine that will turn out real football men.

It has been the desire of members of the athletic board to get a backfleld man especially as they feel that in Coach Shulte they have a coach who cannot be beat for line work. Coach Bearg played football at Washburn college st Topeka and was In the game against Nebraska in 1915. The Washburn team had little show with Nebraska In those days when Chamberlln, Rutherford and Corey were playing, but Nebraska beat the University of Iowa worse that year than it did Washburn. Bearg won his letter in the pole vault and in other track events SH Washburn. He ran in the hurdles and was a relay manv He also played basketball In his college days.

He was born in Kansas. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. J.
