He en- tered his first race 10 years ago. at that time being in tho Finnish army. From U)2t!-;n ho had to retire from the running game due to a weak stomach. Dave is 37 years of age and before taking up running in a serious way he, played soccer and won a ski championship. Mr. Komonen is tho hol.ler of many titles. He' has humlreds of medals and trinkets awarded him for his many spectacular victories. He won the London marathnn in lO;"! and the Boston marathon in III;M, the Boston marathon being a distance of 'JO „iilcs, US.") yards, which he covered in '2 hours, 33 minutes and oS and 4-5 seconds. He is 'the United States National A. A. A. n-mi\e champion. This title he ' won in Washington against a field of 1J8 of the best long distance run- ners on the North American con- tinent.
