University Daily Kansan Tuesday, Feb. 21, 1956
By BOB LYLE (Assistant Sports Editor of The Daily Kansan)
With the announcement that Wes Santer, former Kansas miller, has been barred for life as an amateur, comes a wrath of criticism from many corners.
Everybody's getting into the act. From the Hon. Frank Carlson, who lodged a formal complaint on the floor of the U.S. Senate, to the chairman of the Missouri Valley AAU who condemned the action as "illegal," and self-styled sports and editorial writers who are voicing their own "expert" opinions on the matter.
General hue and cry of Santee supporters seems to be “everybody else did it. Why pick on Wes?” and statements of “hypocrisy” and “double jeopardy,” are not uncommon.
Phog Allen, erstwhile opponent of the AAU who has long been a thorn in the side of that body promised a solution to AAU ills after more careful study.
An argument, which has much logical support, was offered by Julius Koenigsdorf, chairman of the Missouri Valley AAU Registration Committee. He pointed out under the groups by-laws, that the committee has no right to mete out any penalty. He called the action of the national body as "a slap in the face of the Missouri Valley AAU's Board of Managers."
His point of argument lies in the fact that the case was not referred back to the Missouri Valley group for action.
Koenigsdorf asked for an investigation of performers in other sports who participate as semi-professionals. "Td like for someone to tell me just what a semi-pro is," he asked. He expressed a question also voiced by KU Athletic Director A. C. "Dutch" Lonborg, that of penalizing the promoters instead of the performers.
Fred G. Mancuso, a Kansas City attorney, and a member of the Missouri Valley AAU, has called for a meeting of his group to consider the action of the National AAU. He said Santee would be right in taking action through the courts in an effort to nullify the ban imposed on him.
"Unless they can justify this action," he added, "this could be the beginning of the end for the AAU."
Probably more than a few athletic skeletons will be loosed before the whole affair blows over.
At any rate it should prove interesting.
Riley Ranked 6th In Area
Bob Riley, Kansas City, Mo., junior and KU's defending Big Seven Conference tennis champion, has been ranked sixth in men's singles for this area by the Missouri Valley Tennis Association.
He and KU tennis coach Dick Mechem were ranked fourth in men's doubles by the association. Riley and Sue Ruddell of Kansas City, Mo., were placed seventh in mixed doubles.
Riley was the only Kansan singled out in the area of Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kansas.
He won the Big Seven singles championship last year as a sophomore and was unbeaten in 10 matches during the season.
Hawks Defeat Pistons 84-82
Hawks Deteat Pistons 84-82
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(U.P.) The St. Louis Hawks, playing their second game of the season in Kansas City, put on a spectacular comefrom-behind show last night to defeat Fort Wayne 84-82. Bob Harrison was the hero of the night, hitting a 30-foot one-hander just as the horn blew, to clinch the victory.
K-State Takes Big 7 Lead
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(U.P.)—Kansas State with a full-game lead and only three more to go, today was the team to beat in the Big Seven.
The sophomore-powered Wildcats mowed down Nebraska, 73-50, at Manhattan Monday night. The victory, plus Iowa State's 73-66 loss to Missouri, easily moved K-State into the favorite role. Colorado kept its hopes alive with a 61-53 win over Oklahoma.
Kansas State plays two of its three remaining games at home.
Crucial Tilt Saturday
The most crucial one will be Saturday with Iowa State, which dropped to second with a 6-3 record. Then there's Missouri at Manhattan March 3. The Cats end the season at Kansas March 6.
Missouri took over fourth spot alone with its triumph, pushing Kansas into fifth.
Sophomore Fritz Schneider powered Kansas State with 20 points and 20 rebounds, tops in both departments. Don Smidd had 14 for Nebraska.
Bacher Hits 30
Colorado took command late in the first half to down Oklahoma even though Sooner center Leroy Bacher scored 30 points. Buff forward Mel Coffman, of Ponca City, Okla., was wigh for Colorado with 20.
Guard Norm Stewart hit 33 points to lead Missouri to its victory including 10 straight to give Missouri a 33-23 halftime lead.
Freshmen Win 2nd Postal Meet
Iowa State came within one point of tying the game up late in the second half, but the rally dropped short. The Cyclones slipped by Missouri 88-85 in overtime at Columbia 10 days ago.
Arlen Schroeder won the 880, mile and two-mile runs to lead the Kansas freshman indoor track team to its second straight postal victory last week over Oklahoma freshmen, 691—$33\frac{1}{2}$. The fresh also raced by mail with Missouri, but Missouri's results have not yet been received.
Charles Tidwell was the next high KU scorer with first places in the 60-yard dash and 60-yard low hurdles, and a tie for third in the 60-yard high hurdles.
