A&M Sweeps Relays As Santee, Nieder Win
Oklahoma A&M continued its dominance of the major college relays last Saturday when they led the field in the annual Drake Relays at Des Moines. The Aggies, led by their great quarter-miler J. W. Mashburn, swept to four baton titles.
For Kansas Bill Nieder turned in the top performance with a record-breaking put of 56 feet 31 inches in the shot put. Nieder's heave out-distanced University of Miami ace Tom Jones; the defending Drake Relays and NCAA champion.
The 18,000 fans who thronged to the meet in hopes of seeing Wes Santee crack the magic four minute barrier were disappointed as Santee traversed the distance in 4:08.4, a mark that was good for a new Relay record. Santee's old nemis, Fred Dwyer, again got himself mixed up in a wrestling match, this time with pace-setter Art Dalzell.
The outstanding feat of the meet was the fabulous anchor half mile that Billy Tidwell of Emporia State ran in the college sprint medley,
Jayhawkker Dick Blair continued his fine efforts in the sprints as he placed second in the 100-yard dash behind Jim Golliday of Northwestern. Golliday was timed in 9.9.
Bill Biberstein of Kansas pulled a muscle in the high hurdles but still managed to finish third behind Willard Thomson of Illinois and Bob Derrick of Oklahoma.
Kansas was expected to take a first and possibly a first and second in the javelin but had to settle for a third and fourth. Les Bitner and Don Sneegas of Kansas finished in the third and fourth slots respectively behind Ben Garcia of Arizona State and Joe May of Louisiana State. Garcia's winning distance was 221 feet 117 inches.
Kansas had planned to send the third member of its trio of javelin throwers, John Parker, to the Colorado Relays in an attempt to take two javelin crowns in one day but Parker injured his back and was unable to compete.
The Aggies J. W. Mashburn received the award that many felt he had deserved at the Kansas Relays when he was picked by a poll of sportswriters as the outstanding athlete of the meet.
The Drake Relays continued their superiority over the Penn Relays, which are run on the same day. Better times were posted in 12 events at Drake as compared with six better marks in the Penn Relays
14 Teams Win In IM Softball
For three innings he was well night perfect, striking out nine batters. By the fifth he had fanned 12 and the fans were talking about his chances of breaking the all-time Major League strikeout mark of 18 held by-Bobby Feller.
The weekend was filled with eight "A" team intramural softball games and six in the 'B' league. There were three scheduled games which were forfeited.
But in the sixth he failed to strike out a batter and the odds lengthened. He wound up with a four-hitter and a total of 16 strikeouts.
But the 26,595 fans at the ball park didn't even have time to settle back and catalogue this game into their memories of wonderful things when young Score took over.

Pearson 2. Sigma Gam 0
Cleveland (U.P.)—Even Bobby Felter had reason to ask today—"Is Herb Score going to be the greatest pitcher of modern times?"
Feller was the greatest and he still bears the accolade well. Especially yesterday when, in the sunset of his career, he turned in one of the most memorable of all his pitching performances. It was his 12th one-hit game, a 2-0 triumph over the Boston Red Sox, accomplished on a combination of guile, a little bit of speed, a fair curve and a sharper nerve that the dentist strikes when he drills into your molars.
Feller, Score Which Is Best?
John Garland, the first batter up for Pearson, scored to put his team in an early lead; Jim Shrauner made the only other score in the fourth to clinch the win.
The KHK-Triturators and the YMCA-Newman games were both double forfeits.
