KU's4-MileRelayTeam Among Best In Nation
It's always great to be on top, especially for this year's Kansas four-mile relay team. Last season Oklahoma A&M's outstanding Scandinavian distance crew easily pushed KU and all others aside, but the Jayhawkers again occupy the top spot in this area and probably in the nation, and figure to keep it that way for some time.
for some un- This is Wes's team, reminiscent of the Wes Wes Santee-led teams several years ago, swept championships in the Texas, Kansas and Drake Relays. In the Kansas and Drake meets Jan Howell, Hal Long, Jerry McNeal and Al Frame were the four-mile team. Bernie Gay ran in place of Howell in the season-opening Texas Relays.
Although the present crew has not seriously threatened the school record of 17:14, set by Santee, Art Dalzell, Lloyd Koby and Dick Wilson in 1953, another year of seasoning for juniors Howell, Long, McNeal and Gay may well put the sizzling record time within reach. KU's durable anchor man, Al Frame, will graduate this spring.
KU's best time this year was 17:31 at Texas. The times in the Kansas and Drake Relays were 17:44.5 and 17:36.5, respectively.
However, three members of the team have run better miles than in the four-mile event. Howell ran a 418.4 mile, but his best time in the race was 422.5. Long has a low of

Prep Meet Features Stars
WICHITA—The Kansas state high school track meet, to be held Friday and Saturday, will feature the return of five individual champions from 1955. They are Mose Richardson, Manhattan, broad jump; Ken Barber, McPherson, javelin; Ted Lewis, Haskell, mile; Jim Franz, Hillsboro, 800-yard run, and Jerry Harder, Hillsboro, broad jump.
4:14.6, but a 4:18.7 in the four-mile frame. Legs's best time in the relay is 4:23.8, but 4:14.7 is his fastest mile of the season. Only McNeal ran his best mile in one of the three big relays. 4:18.1 at Texas.
Denver Keeps Lead By Beating St. Paul
It's interesting to note that if each had run his best mile in the same four-mile relay, their total time would have been 17·07·8, well below the school record. Although this seldom would ever happen, it serves notice of the outstanding potentiality of Coach Bill Easton's distance forces.
Willie Mays of the New York Giants took the batting crown with .345 in his first full season of major league play.
