Santee, Nielsen Meet Again This Saturday
New York —(U.P.)— Gunnar Nielsen, the new king of the milers, said today he feels he can break the four-minute mile "but not indoors."
"Outdoors, I think I can do it," the wiry, red-haired Dane who lowered the world indoor record to 4:03.6 at Madison Square Garden Saturday said, "but indoors, I don't believe so."
Roger Bannister and John Landy,
the only two men in history to run
the mile in less than four minutes,
did so outdoors last year and
retired shortly thereafter.
Nielsen gets another crack at his new indoor record and at his most dangerous current rival, Wes Santee of Kansas, in the New York Athletic club track meet at the Garden Saturday.
"I will not be trying to break my own indoor record," the unassuming Nielsen, a typesetter in his native Copenhagen, said, "although I feel I can do better than I did Saturday."
Santee, who saw his week-old world record of 4:03.8 go by the boards, merely said "next week's another week."
The past one wasn't a particularly good one for the skinny 22-year-old Kansan, who has run the three fastest miles in American history.
Santee was booed roundly by the capacity crowd of 14,736 following his "wrestling match" with Fred Dwerver in the final turn.
Dwyer, who finished two steps ahead of Santee, was disqualified for trying to pass on the inside, so Santee's 4.06.5 showing was good for second place.
"If they disqualified me," Dwyer said, "they should have also disqualified Santee. He reached out and pushed me when we were coming around the turn."
Buffs, Tigers Play Saturday
By UNITED PRESS
They lit the Big Seven conference basketball fuse Saturday when both Colorado and Missouri scored victories, and unless a fizzle develops tonight, the big explosion has been timed for Saturday night at Boulder.
It will be Tiger against the Buffalo, with first place at stake. First, however, Colorado must face four place Nebraska tonight at Lincoln.
Coach Bebe Lee's Coloradoaos boast the only perfect slate in the conference-five straight victories. Missouri holds second with a 5-1 mark. Kansas State is next at 6-2.
Nebraska, 3-2, could prove a danger spot for Colorado, particularly if the Buffs enter the game with their minds occupied on Saturday's affair against Missouri. The odds favor Colorado to make it six in a row and thus set the stage for the title effort this weekend.

Two KU Players Express Desire to Play Pro Ball
By BOB BRUCE Kansan Sports Writer
It now seems likely that a pair of Kansas football players from last year's team will carry the name of the Canyon College Football League circle in the fall.
Anderson said he preferred Canadian ball because "it is somewhat faster than that played in the United and I believe I'd like it much better."
End-fullback John Anderson of Grand Island, Neb., who recently was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL, said he probably will go north this fall, possibly to play with the Montreal Alouettes. The other pro possibility, fullback Bud Laughlin of Kansas City, Mo., indicated he will report in July to the San Francisco 49ers, the team which drafted him three years ago.
He also said he preferred Canadian competition because many games are played at night, thus en
Laughlin, who tied with Oklahoma's Buddy Leake in 1951 for Big Seven scoring honors, said he plans to report to the San Francisco training camp, although he has not yet signed a contract with the club.
He said he does not think Canadian ball stacks up with the American pro brand, and also expressed a hope that he will continue to play at his accustomed fullback position.
abling players to hold a job as well as play. He said if he does not accept a Canadian bid the Eagles will be his first choice.
KU Track Team Gets Mauling From Michigan
The KU track team, with distance ace Al Frame out of action, bowed to the mighty Michigan Wolverines $ 88^{1/3} $ to $ 33^{2/3} $ in its opening meet of the indoor season at Ann Arbor Saturday.
The Jayhawks were able to win but two first places and tie for another as the Wolverines put on a great display of power.
The two winners for Kansas were Bill Nieder, who won the shot with a toss of 53, 98 inches, and Lowell Janzen, who won the 880 in 1:57.5. Pole vaulter Bob Lewis cleared 12 feet, 6 inches, well above his previous best, to earn a first place tie with Michigan's Bob Appleton.
Bob Smith placed third in his specialty, the broad jump, with a leap of 22 feet $3\frac{1}{8}$ inches, and then went on to tie with teammate Leon Wells for third in the high jump, at 6 feet.
Sophomore Bernie Gay, filling in for Frame, placed third in the mile, which was won by John Moule of Michigan in 4:16.2.
New York — (U,P)— World champion shot putter Parry O'Brien won the Millrose games shot put title with a tosse of 56 feet, 7 inches. He holds the world's record of 60 feet 10 inches.
O'Brien Puts Shot 56-7
Revealing the two phone calls from phantom sources, Allen said, "On the morning of our game with Colorado, our front office got a station to station call from Philadelphia wanting to know whether or not Dallas Dobbs would play. The secretary didn't even know Dobbs was hurt. She couldn't tell them anything so they hung up.
"The dagger of gambling once again is poised over the heart of collegiate basketball," he said. "The threat is pandemic. The gamblers are getting brave again and we are in danger of slipping back into the same stinking condition that prevailed in the pre-expose days.
"Soon after this the basketball office got a call from Kansas City. I answered the phone. The voice, 'This is Sam Molen. Is Dobbs going'
"At our last Big Seven tournament in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium a group of characters which occupies the same box each year openly made wagers upon games to the chagrin of one of our top executive officers of the University. This is nothing new. I have mentioned similar incidents before."
Indoor Baseball Workouts Start for Pitchers, Catchers
"When I was in Philadelphia last week Paul Horowitz, a sportswriter for the Newark Evening News, told me Nat Holman declared that another gambling scandal in basketball is imminent. Holman must know something, or he wouldn't make a statement like that. Other people heard Horowitz tell me this, too, so it's no secret.
No outstanding help can be expected from last year's freshman quad as far as can be told to date.
Widespread gambling again is threatening basketball, less than four years after the first expose, Phog Allen, basketball coach, said here Saturday.
Expected to report for today's session will be three pitchers from last year's squad, but the outlook as far as the catcher situation is concerned appears to be hopelessly dark.
The three pitchers back are Wayne Tiemier, Loren Martin, and Bob Shirley. Of the three Coach Temple is expecting Shirley to be the top moundsman if his arm is in good shape. Tiemier, however, had the best record of the three on last year's nine which ended the season in fourth place in the conference with an overall record of 10 and six.

"John Trombold has graduated and currently is signed with the Chicago White Sox of the American league for placement in their organization. Another player from last year's team, Bob Allison, an outfielder, has signed a contract with Washington.
Another Basketball Scandal Appears Coming, Allen Says
Hopefuls for Coach Floyd Temple's Jayhawk baseball team will get an early start today when workouts for pitchers and catchers begin in Robinson gym. Practice for the rest of the squad will commence later when the weather improves.
"The biggest problem is finding a catcher and filling the shoes of Trombold at first base." Temple said.
Eight lettermen in all will return this spring with only three of them being considered as regulars on last year's team. Basketballer Bill Heitholt can be used at either an outfield position or as an utility infielder. Forrest "Punky" Hoglund and Bill Pulliam bothRegulars from the third and second base spots, respectively. Two footballers, John Handley and Bob Conn, can be expected for part time duty in the outfield.
914 Massachusetts Street LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Speculating on the chances for this year Coach Temple refused to go out on a limb: "I can't see with the limited material available for baseball how we can expect to improve on our record of last year."
The team plays its first game during the spring holidays, making a swing through the sunny south. Kansas meets the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville Apr. 4 and 5, plays a doubleheader with Arkansas State at Jonesboro Apr. 7 and meets the Memphis, Tenn., Naval Air station for a doubleheader Apr. 9 before returning to Lawrence for a return engagement with Arkansas Apr. 15 and 16.
However this year's freshman team seems to have some definite possibilities. It will be coached by John Brose, former southpaw pitcher who was graduated from the University.

The names of the 'Black' Wildcats from Kentucky, who won the NCAA tournament in 1949, and the 'Black' Beavers of CCNY, who won in 1950, still are on the championship lists. They are there for every boy to see despite the fact that some members of both teams confessed dumping and shaving. The NCAA has yet not seen fit to remove the championship toga from these teams.
"That is one reason we're in this gambling danger once again. There is no protector nor enforcer, neither in the NCAA nor the conferences. The only thing a school can do is play games only on college campuses. Then they can exercise some control. I have proof of fixes in Madison Square garden as early as 1935.
"Gambling in college basketball is once again raising its serpentine read. And what's going to be done about it?"
