IS and Los Angeles April 25. The
telegram also stated that if possible
the great Finnish athlete would stop

Rubien and Wendell are great
friends and the latter Is of the opin
i ' ion that the former can swing the
if deal for Omaha.
It is Pete Wendell's plan to have
Nurmi run at Hie I'reighton uni
versity gymnasium. It would In*
an indoor meet, weather rendition*
during the month of April being un
favorable for an outdoor run. .lust
who would compete against the
I "Hying Finn" Is not known at this

corresponding with the University
of Nebraska and Iowa athletic offi
cials In hopes of enlisting the aid of
these Ereat universities in securing

Creighton will send “Stew” Slew
art, Hluc,jay crack milor, against
the Finn.
Whether Kitoln, also a Finnish
athlete, will accompany Nurmi to

I5Y PACIFIC! COAST A. A. 1 .
KEITH LLOYD, former Univer
sity of Nebraska track star,
who left the Husker* and en
tered the University of Southern Cali
fornia. has been ruled a. professional
and declared Ineligible for rompetl
Uon, According to word received from
the "ieFt coast.
I.loyd is considered the fastest In
tercollegiate runner in the I idled
States and Is rated next to Charley
Paddock, the fastest man on the
Pacific coast.
The rilling on the part of Hie
coast athletic officials that spoiled
Lloyd's intercollegiate track compe
tition, came just five days after the
former Nebraska star had demon
strated his ability by running 100
yards in 9 9-10 second* in five A.
A. U. relay carnival at Idis Angeles.
The specific charge against. Lloyd
is that he received money for officiat

violation of the amateur rule was suf
ficient to lose him his amateur stand
ing.

$45,000 Loaned
for Education
Scottish Rile Fund lias
Helped ,‘?6R Students
Since 1921.
A total amounting to more than
*45,000 has been loaned t«» 36S stu
dents at Xebrba^ka colleges* and uni
versities by ihc Scottish Rite Kduca
tional Welfare association. That sum
was outstanding January 1 of the
current year. More than $2,000 was
added to th* loans during the months
of February and January. The limit
of the association's fund for loans has
been reached at present.
Tn 1924 the income of the associa
tion was a. little more than *6.0(»0
from donations, about $4,000 from re
payments on loans, and $1,000 on in
terest. payments. Since the associa
tion began business in 1921 more than
$11,000 in loans have been repaid by
students who have been helped, and
a little more than $2,000 paid in in
terest. In that time nearly 500 stu
dents have been assisted by the fund.
Almost all of these hav* been third
and fourth year students.
These facts were brought out In re
ports of officers made to the annual
meeting of the hoard of trustees of
the association at the Scottish Rite
*athedral in Omaha. After the re
ports had been read, th# board acted
on the recommendstions of Chairman
Frank C. Patton, covering points of
administration.
Members of standing committees
| were reappointed. and officers re
elected for the year. C. D. Traphagen
of IJncoln is chairman of the loan
committee. Tinley R. Combs and
Georg# W. Plainer are the Omaha
member* of the committee.
