Santee to Race Brothers
By STAN HAMILTON
How does it feel to run second to somebody the caliber of Wes Santee, America's No. 1 distance runner?
In just 32 days 27 of Santee's Acacia fraternity brothers probably will get the chance to learn the answer, but they solemnly swear that they will beat their famed brother.
For, on Nov. 13 the 27 not-so-athletic runners (?) will pit their 54 legs against the two of Santee's in a 13.7-mile cross-country race on U.S. 24 from Perry to the south end of the Kaw river bridge at Sixth and Massachusetts street.
The entire contest was dreamed up by the track all-American, who last night challenged the brothers to a repeat of a 14-mile similar jaunt Dec. 13, 1952 from Tonganoxie to the same finish line.
In that race, with the fraternity brothers covering half a mile each as they will do in the upcoming battle. Santee, who ran all the dis-

stance, finished - some 200 yards ahead of the Acacia anchor man, winning in 1 hour, 14 minutes, and 9 seconds. Acacia finished 50 seconds in arrears.
The fraternity men, who will be out to regain possession of a trophy they were forced to award Santee in the 1952 race, accepted the challenge unanimously at a chapter meeting last night. Vic Weber, president, taunted Santee by saying he firmly believed the finish would be different this year. He said team members will be selected on a basis of competition in several weeks.
Highway patrolmen probably will escort both Santee and the man running for the team, as in the former race. In that affair traffic was backed up for as much as half a mile on U.S. 24-40.
Fate of Athletics Expected from AL
Chicago — (U.P.)—American league owners were expected to finally decide today what to do with the tottering franchise of the Philadelphia Athletics.
Although his collegiate eligibility has expired Santee is completing work toward his education degree. He next plans to race in the mile in the Sugar Bowl track meet Jan. 1 at New Orleans.
Though late bids for the club were expected from California interests and a Washington two-some who would keep the team in Philadelphia, it was likely they would accept the offer of Arnold Johnson, a Chicago financier, and approve transfer of the team to Kansas City. A league spokesman indicated there was no other choice.
QB's Meet Tonight
The KU Quarterback club will meet today at 8 p.m. in the ballroom in the Student Union. Coach Chuck Mather will discuss the Iowa State-Kansas football game played Saturday, and show films of the game.

Higgins Confident of Lifting Bosox to Top
Boston —(U.P.)— Michael Francis (Pinky) Higgins comes to Boston tomorrow with the confidence that the wizardry which helped him to pilot the Louisville Colonels to the top of the Little World Series will do the same for the Red Sox in the major leagues.
Higgins won a two-year contract yesterday to supplant Manager Lou Boudreau who was unable this season to lift the Bosox above fourth place in the American league standings.
