Paavo Nurmi runs a popular haberdashery attracting visiting athletes who buy expensive shirts and neckties, though he rarely smiles and often turns customers away. South African basketball grows with 19 teams in two leagues in Durban after a Mormon missionary introduced the game two years ago. Dr Forrest (Phog) Allen notes parallels to early US growth.
