Nurmi Barred From Competition in Forthcoming Olympic Marathon AMATEUR STATUS LOST BY EXHIBIT TOUR IN GERMANY Finland May Withdraw All Athletes From Competi tion Is Rumor Following Ouster Ruling by I.A.A.F. By Alan Gould, (Associated Press Sport Editor.) LOS ANOELES, July 39. P) Use Hamlet without tha celebrated Dane in the cast, the Olympic gamea will launch their moat spectacular ath letic show this week-end without Faavo Nurmi, the most gifted runner and most colorXul personality that footracing has ever known. Swiftly and without the remotest loophole for repeal, the great Finnish athlete stood barred today from all Olymplo competition by a curt de clslon rejecting his entry, based upon the charges that In effect he profes sionalised himself by accepting mon ey beyond hla expense requirements for a 1931 barnstorming trip through Germany. Finland Team Upset. As a result, the Olympics have sud denly been bereft of their greatest track and field drawing card, Nurmi's ambltloai to crown a fourth Olympic appearance with a marathon tri umph, has been shattered and Fir. land's rugged little athletic band has been turned into a state of semi-revolt. No sooner had the ban of Nurmi been formally announced by J. S. Edstiom of Sweden, president of the International Amateur Athletic fed eration, than reports spread quickly today that (1) Finland would con sider withdrawing Its entire team from the games: and (3) that Nurmi would immediately turn profenalonal for a'serles of match races. Finnish leaders, who fought bitter ly to the last ditch against heavy odds, left the final hearing on the Nurmi case in shaken spirits, con vinced their greatest athletlo figure had been unjustly convicted. They told the Associated Press, neverthe less, that they expected to go through with the games, with their athletes redoubling efforts to make up for the loss of Nurmi. No Repeal Possible. Tinder the decision repsotlng Nur mi's entry, there wss no recourse to day for either the runner or Finland In the full congress of the Interna tional A. E. P., beyond the possi bility of vocal aftermath. Any re consideration of the matter was blocked completely by one of the allckest political maneuvers In Inter national athletic history. Instead of prolonging the laaue. haggling over rules and projecting the Nurmi controversy Into the open meeting of the I. A. A. F. today, the executive council of the federation, sitting as a commission with full powers, abruptly ended the whole de bate by rejecting Nurmi's entry. This avoided altogether the Issue of whether Nurmi Is an amateur or pro fessional and definitely closed the door to further discussion. HwecllHli Incomes Hhrlnk STOCKHOLM.
