MURCHIS0N AND NURMI
RENEW OLD FRIENDSHIP

NEW YORK. December Is R.-A
strange friendship between two ath-
letes who do not even know one an
others language and who have little
more i'm common than exceptional
running ability has been renewed
with the arrival of PaavO Nurmi in
this country.
One of the first to ferret out the
secretive Finn, and probably the
only American to bring anything like
a smile of pleasure to PaavO's fiat
and stOical features, was Loren
Murchison, the Illinois Athletic Club
sprinter, who was stricken with cere-
bral spinal meningitis year ago
and recovered after being uncOn-
sciOus for FL days.
MurchisOn and Nurmi first met on
the field of friendly contest in Paris
i'm 1924. Their friendship was re-
newed when Nurmi made his fa-
nous tour of American tracks in
1925, often running on the same bill
with MurchisOn.
"I remember ever in Newark in
1926" said Hugo Quist, Finnish
American friend of both, "when some
girl wanted to have her picture taken
with PaavO and he would not do it
until Loren would get into the pic
ture, too"
