Michigan Distance Slam Defeats Kansas 58-56
The University of Michigan Wolverines handed the Kansas Jayhawkers their first defeat on the Allen Field House track, 58-56 Saturday night.
The Wolverines mainly won the dual meet by defeating Kansas in the 880, mile, and two-mile runs. Michigan took a first and third in the mile, first in the two-mile, and first and second in the 880.
Ron Wallingford, a senior from Ottawa, Canada, led the assault for Michigan by winning the mile and two-mile races. He beat KU's Al Frame by 25 yards in the mile record and won both meet and field house record. He also broke his own two-mile record which he set last year.
8 Records Set
In all, eight new records were set, four by each team. The biggest surprise of the record-breaking performances was the leap of 6 feet 1 8 inches by Bob Cannon of Kansas in the high jump. This broke the old record of 6 feet 4 inches set by Mark Booth of Michigan last season and once high jump champion placed second behind Cannon. It was the best jump Cannon had ever made and set a new indoor school record.
Eles Landstrom, Michigan's top pole vaulter from Helsinki, Finland. cleared the bar at 14 feet 34 inches in another top performance. The old record was 12 feet 6 inches. Landstrom is the European pole vault champion.
Kent Floerke led Kansas to a sweep in the broad jump. His jump of 23 feet 9 1/4 inches broke the old record of 22 feet 7 inches. Finishing second and third in this event were Kansas' Blaine Hollinger and Frank Mastin.
Bill Nieder broke his own shot put record with a throw of 58 feet 4 inch.
Blair In Top Shape
CHARl Tiffin Snappe
KU's Dick Blair is in top shape after missing the first indoor meet with Oklahoma, won the 60-yard dash in .02:2 which clipped two-tenths of a second off the old meet mark.
Dave Freeman, Kansas' numbe one hurdle, pulled a mild upset by winning the 60-yard highs. He placed second in the 60-yard low hurdles. The winning times in both of the hurdle events set new meet records as the hurdle distances were 75 yards last year at Michigan.
After winning the mile, the Wolverines' Wallingford came back just 40 minutes later to win the two-mile run. He followed Jerry McNeal of Kansas for 15 laps before passing him 110 yards from the finish line to win going away. His record-breaking time was 9:21.7.
Kansas, usually strong in the 880, managed to muster only a third place as Pete Gray and Robin Varian led Michigan to the first two places. Gray's time of 1:55.6 established another new meet record.

OU Breaks 8 Pool Records To Beat Jayhawkers 59-25
A powerful Oklahoma swimming team showed Saturday that it intends to repeat as Big Seven champion by breaking eight Robinson Pool records in an easy 59-25 victory over Kansas.
All pool records in the nine racing events were bettered, as KU's competing coach Chuck Edwards won the 160-yard individual medley in 1:48.8, breaking his own record of 1:51.4. His was Kansas' only first place.
The loss was KU's second against three victories for the season. Oklahoma's victory was the third in as many starts.
The OU margin probably would have been greater if the Sooners had used two performers instead of one in five different events. Five points were given for first place, three for second and one for third, except for the 400-yard free-style.

No. 1 Miler
Santee, America's No. 1 miler and its best hope for a gold medal in the 1,500-meter run at Melbourne, Australia next December, was suspended for life by the AAU Sunday for allegedly accepting about $1,500 in excessive expense money for competing in various meets.
NEW YORK —(U.P.)—Miler Wes Santee today charged the National AAU with "star chamber proceedings" in suspending him for life and demanded to meet his accusers "face to face in a real fair American trial."

Also suspended were Al Franken, described as Santee's agent in California, and Fred Van Dyk, vice president of the Pacific AAU. Tom Moore, promoter of the Modesto Relays, also was charged with paying Santee excessive expense money for competing in the meet.

AAU Suspends Santee For Life
Santee announced through Grimes immediately following the announcement of the AAU's action, that he "will sue in a New York civil court enjoining the AAU from carrying out the suspension."
One Dissenting Vote
Dan Ferris, secretary-treasurer of the AAU, revealed that the executive committee voted, 14-1, to suspend Santee. The dissenting vote was cast by Lew Wilkie, last year's mayor, who said he believed matter should be referred to the Missouri Valley Association of the AAU.
The Missouri Valley Association originally suspended Santee for alleged violations of the amateur code last Oct. 11 but reversed the decision by a 21-7 vote on Nov. 20. The case was reopened in December and a special committee—dubbed the "secret seven"—appointed to study the charges and investigate "new evidence." The final decision was not revealed until 8:30 p.m.
Santee was charged specifically with accepting excessive expense money from three California meets—the Modesto Relays, the Stockton Pacific AAU championships and the Los Angeles Coliseum Relays.
