University Daily Kansan Thursday, February 3. 1955

If ever psychology apparently worked in reverse it happened last week to a Dane known as Gunnar Nielsen, a miler of some repute.
After first losing a comparatively slow indoor mile race a week
After first losing a comparatively slow indoor mile race a week ago to KU's Wes Santee and then turning the tables the next night, to whip the cocky Kansan, Nielsen made the now famous mistake of loading Santee's ego a bit.
Nielsen was quoted in the newspapers as saying, in effect, hat he could whip Santee on any given day and on any given track. Iad Nielsen been better acquainted with Santee's makeup that statement never would have been uttered.
As Kansas track Coach M. E. "Bill" Easton remarked yesterday, He (Nielsen) talked too much last week and needled Wes into eating the pants off him."
And that is precisely what Santee did, turning in a new world indoor record of 4.03.8 Saturday night on the Boston garden track. loudmouth Nielsen was some 30 yards in arrears and much the quieter about the entire matter.
Santee, as Coach Easton pointed out, is possessed of a true athletic killer instinct. He just can't stand to lose and literally will run himself into the ground to prove that he is better than the competition.
The Nielsen incident may serve as a warning to others who may be inclined to criticize Santee. Remember, Santee holds the American outdoor record, too, a sizzling 4:00.6, set last summer at Compon, Calif.
Husky John Anderson, the 6-foot 2-inch, 215-pound KU football and basketball star, was drafted by the professional football Philadelphia Eagles during examination week, but he indicates he probably will bypass competition in the National Football league for a hot at the Canadian game this fall.
Another Jayhawk multi-sport performer, Harold Patterson, who is playing with the Montreal Alouettes in Canada, was a good friend of Anderson when the two were teammates here last year.
It is reported that Patterson has encouraged Anderson to travel orth and play in the more wide open game.

Two Prep All-Americans Anchor Frosh Track Team
By LOUIS STROUP
Two interscholastic all-Americans will be on Coach M. E. "Bill" Easton's freshman track team in its first indoor telegraphic meet Feb. 12 against Colorado, Nebraska, and possibly Kansas State.
They are Al Oorter of New Hyde Park, N.Y., who gained the select team by setting a prep mark in the discus and also being a stand out in the shot put, and Kent Floerke of Kansas City (Rosedale), a broad jumper.
Coach Easton has a squad of 17, with the total expected to grow to 19 when two freshmen now participating in basketball join the team. But the coach is concerned about a lack of depth in several events, notably the broad jump and pole vault.
Dave Freeman of Caney is the only fresh footballer out for track. He will team up with Ken Peters of Winnieppe, Canada, and Ray Wyatt of Highland Park in the 60-yard dash. Freeman also will run the 60-yard low and high hurdles. Wyatt also is a quarter-miler. Others in the 440 will be Larry Tharp of Wyandotte, Clark Mock
of Hutchinson, Bob Lida of Mission and Larry Hurlan of Kansas City.
Jerry McNeal, a standout runner from Minneapolis, Minn., will head a strong freshman distance crew of Bob Nicholson of Maize, Verlyn Schmidt of Hays, Paul Baker of Dedham, Mass., Bob Cormack of Abilene, Myron Greene of Overland Park, Dick Easton of Lawrence, Earle Eden of Lenexa, and Harold Long of Van Nuys, Calif.
Field events are thin with the exception of Oerter and Floorke. However, Jere Potts, KU Relays record breaker in the pole vault, will add strength to the young Hawks in the outdoor season. Bob Cannon of Pawhuska, Okla., is the lone freshman in the high jump. He is a Haskell graduate.
The freshmen will run nine foes and possibly 10 in their 1955 indoor telegraphic campaign. Meets are run during the week and results are mailed to the opponents, who in turn mail their results back to KU.
