Bulldog Determination Made Nurmi
Country’s Greatest Distant Runner
New York, Jan. 9.—Paave Nurmi,
mercuryfoi ted son of Pin land, has
a personality all his own, as dis
tinctive as the matchless running
style that has carried him to such
heights.
Nurmi's track performances, which
this year reached unprecedented
peaks at the Olympics and again a
few days ago In Madison Square
Garden, grow from no mysterious abil
ity, no unfathomable source. To
ihose who know him Intimately thro
factors stand out as the roots of his
success, perfect condition and run
ning motion, unswerving determina
tion and unflagging concentration on
his chief goal. The speed and stamina
which put him in a class by himself
as a distant e runner are the result.
\iirml is reticent to the point of
shyness when it comes to bring in
tervieweil. \ny coinnient drawn
from him through an Interpreter Is
laconic and concise. He prefers to
let his performances stand for them
selves. He has no secrets to reveal
in explaining his remarkable form.
To him It all seems the result of
Ilia long preparation and devotion
lo the goal lie srt for hlmaelf when
lie began running—an ambition to
make the greatest mark of any
dislanre runner in history.
Nurmi does not diet on dried fish,
as lie lias been pictured as doing,
but be dors live simply and Spartan
like, denying hftnsrlf all indulgences
and siicli ordinary luxuries of liv
ing as would in the slightest de
gree affect his general physical
condition.

in their opening cage game of th^
1925 season, losing to the Doane col
lege quintet by a 19 to 11 acore

Hanson, StQcher
Challenge Munn,
New Mat Champ
Former University of Nebras
ka Athlete Flops Lewis
for Wrestling C.ham
pionship.
1 AltLRY HANSO.V.
Omaha heavy
weight wrestler
and Joe Stehcer
of Dodge, Neh.,
former world's
champion, lost
little time in
hurling c h a 1 -
lpnges r I g h t
smack Into the
face of Wayne
(Hlgl Munn. new
worlds mat title
holder.
Munn, let It he
known far and wide, won the world's
wrestling championship In a Kansas
City, Mo., ting last night when he
won two of three falls from "Stran
gler" Lewis.
The new champion played on the
football team at Nebraska in 1917
and was initiated into the art of.
eateh-as-eatrh can while a member
of the lluskor wrestling teams sev .
eral years ago. Minin's record in.
collegiate circles was never marred
by a defeat.
In addition to Ills participation
in wrestling, Munn also threw the
shot on the track squad, and, with
his brother, Monte, formed the
lindens of a Nebraska football line
in 1917 tiiat averages around 200
pounds.
Shortly after graduating from
Nebraska, Munn signed up with
(iene Melady and started on a
career as a fighter. IIp was a
"bust" as a fighter. His entry into
the mat game was more successful
and his record shows a continuous,
rise to the championship bout with
Lewis.
Munn won the first fall from Lewis
in 21 minutes with a body and crotch
hold. The '‘Strangler" lay stunned
on the floor of the ring and it was
five minutes before he could be as
sisted to his feet.
The climax came after two minutes
of wrestling for the aeeond fall when
Munn, twisting free from a headlock,
lifted Lewis high in the air with a
body and crotch hold. ,H happened
near the ropes and Lewis broke loose
and fell to the cement floor.
Leu is was borne to iifa dressing
room and it was lu minutes before he
returned. The referee of the match
declared Munn had fouled Lewis and
ga\e the second fall to the "Stran
gler."
I s' w is. bandaged, came hack for
the third ami deciding fall. The
men clinched, but Lewis offeced lit
tle opposition. .Munn clamped a
body and crotch hold and hurled
his mail to the mat. Lewis, accord
ing to the reports, lay prone and a
new champion had been crowned.
In a telegram to the writer this
morning Munn aaid: "1 had jast got
a crotch hold and half-Nelson on
lewis, which I had been working
for all evening. I had lifted Lewis
over my head to throw him to the
mat when he broke the hold in us
ing Itis left arm, pushed- himself
out of my arms and out of the ring.
I don't think that anyone who
knows me would believe I would at
tempt a deliberate foul or try to
throw an opponent on a cement
lloor."
Lewis Is In a Kansas City hos
pital vs it li probably a fractured ver
tebrae at tile base of the spine, ac
cording to reports.
The "Strangler" held the title for
Ihree years. He won the champion
ship from Stanislaus /.byuko.
Munn is a likeable chap of 27 sum
ntrrs. He stands six feet, six Inches
in his stocking feet and weighs
pounds. He spent last summer In ,
Omaha working out each day at the

and two free throws, while Othmer
garnered three goals during the quar
ter w hir h he played.

squad a < nance to show their stuff,
sending in a nentirely new lineup
'luring ihe last quarter.

was fight, which could not compete
with the weight, height and experi
ence of Dr-jnimond's proteges, shift

White attack or penetrate its leiei •

featured the losers' play. The for
mer gathered in his team's only field
goal while the latter was in every
play and missed several baskets by a
narrow margin.

of fart. North offered littl- or ar
opposition and missed several sa-«y
chances to score, while the Alar m
