Trackmen Meet MU Saturday
Two sophomore-ladened track teams will meet Saturday night in Allen Field House, when the Kansas Jayhawkers meet their arch rivals, the Missouri Tigers.
This is the first time Kansas will meet Missouri in an indoor meet in Lawrence in the two teams' 43 contests, and KU will be after its 13th victory.
The dual is expected to be close as both teams are strong contenders for the Big Seven indoor track crown. The Tigers are strong in the races, but lack depth in the field events, with only three veterans returning from last season. The lettermen are Karl Englund, pole vault; Bob Lang, high jump, and shot-putter Chuck Mehrer.
Several meet records probably will Saturday night, Bill Nieder, Kansas' great shot-putter, owns the record in that event with a toss' of 53 feet $6 \frac{1}{2} $ inches set last year. Nieder has beat that mark in every meet this year.
Records May Fall
Dave Tams of Kansas and Englund will be fighting it out in the pole vault, and the meet record of 13 feet $5\frac{1}{4}$ inches set by Don Bird of Kansas in 1939 could be surpassed. The meet's high jump record of 6 feet $5\frac{1}{4}$ inches, set by Leon Wells of Kansas last year, will be the target of Kansas' Bob Cannon and Missouri's Bob Lang.
Jayhawker sophomore Kent Floorke will be aiming at the meet's 17-year-old mark of 23 feet 8 inches in the broad jump. Floerke jumped 24 feet $3\%$ inches to win first in the Michigan State Relays and 23 feet $9\%$ inches against Michigan last week, also good for first.
60-Yard Dash A Natural
60-Yard Dash A Natural
Other events that promise to be close will feature Kansas' Lowl Kanz, Tiger Pete Band in the 80-KanZ Buck Clair Blair and Missouri's Jack Davis in the 60-yard dash, and IFrame of Kansas and Keith Bacon of MU in the mile and two-mile runs.
The 880-yard run and the 60-yard dash appear to be toss-ups Saturday. Beard and Janzen both own times of 1.56.5 in the 880 and sprinters Blair and Davis each have been clocked in :66.2 in the 60-yard dash.
This, is the final dual for Kansas before it defends the Big Seven indoor track championship March 2 and 3 in Kansas City.
Santee Ban Starts Other AAU Probes
SAN FRANCISCO — (U.P.)-The AAU is investigating track and field meet directors at major events throughout the country as a result of the Wes Santee ban, Carl Hansen. AAU president, said today.
Hansen said that as a result of the "big pay" to Santee revealed by several meet directors in California last spring, the so-called secret seven" committee of the AAU, is locking into the expenses athletes have received from other meets.
Hansen also revealed that Avery Brundage, president of the International Olympic Committee, had warned him last December that "Santee never would represent the U.S. in the Olympic games."

Swimmers To Meet Grinnell Today, Nebraska Saturday
The Kansas swimming team meets Grinnell College in the Pioneers' home pool this afternoon and Saturday the Jayhawkers will swim in a dual meet against Nebraska at Lincoln.
Grinnell defeated Kansas last year by a score of 48-35, but Grinnell Coach Irwin, Simons realizes Kansas definitely is an improved team over last year.
The leading scorer for Grinnell is Joel Stubbs. He is unbeaten in the 60 and 100-yard free style events in nearly three full seasons and was the 1954 and 1955 Midwest Conference champion in both races.
Comparative scores favor KU over Grinnell. Earlier in the season Kansas downed the University of Nebraska 50-34, and the Cornhuskers defeated Grinnell 53-31.
3-2 Record
Kansas swimmers will take a record of three victories and two losses with them and will be after the final victory against Nebraska, Saturday.
Last week he broke the Wisconsin State Teachers Conference 100-yard free style record, and also anchored the 300-yard
medley relay team and the 400-yard free style relay team, both of which bettered old marks.
Less than a week earlier, Stubbs had set a new Midwest Conference record of :29.5 in the 60-yard free style race. He holds the conference record in the 100-yard event with a time of :53.8.
NU's Houchen Tough
Tom Houchen of Nebraska probably will give Kansas plenty of trouble Saturday at Lincoln. In the previous meet at Robinson Pool, Houchen placed second behind KU's competitor-coach, Chuck Edwards, in the individual medley and raced to a first place in the 200-vard breaststroke.
PHILADELPHIA — (U.P.) — Bob Stringer and Willie Irvin, both recently released from the armed services, will play again with the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League next fall.
After the Nebraska meet, Kansas has one remaining dual meet with Iowa State March 3 in Robinson pool before the Big Seven Conference meet March 9-10 at Boulder.
