Reports to the effect that Jaakko Mikkola, cross-country mentor, and assistant track coach, is to coach the Finnish Olympic track and field athletes when they arrive in this country in June to compete in the Olympic games at Los Angeles were absolutely denied by the Crimson coach yesterday. Mikkola said that he will do no coaching whatsoever, but will merely arranged the trip to the West for the Finnish group and accompany the athletes to Los Angeles.
Among the members of the team are Paavo Nurmi; Matti Jarvinen, holder of the world record for the javelin throw; and Achilles Jarvinen, Matti's brother, winner of the decathlon in the last Olympics.
