Kansas Wins Big Seven Track Title
3rd Straight Championship For Easton's Outdoor Team
By DANA LEIBENGOOD
Kansan Sports Editor
The Kansas Jayhawks swept to their third straight Big Seven conference outdoor track championship Saturday at Boulder. Frank Cindrish setting the only new record in the track events, and with 24 point slams in the iavelin and two-mile run.
Kansas scored 134 points, Oklahoma was second with 97, and Missouri third with 83. The other point totals were Colorado 46%, Kansas State 36, Iowa State 34%, and Nebraska 34.
Kansas scored its 134 points even though KU scratched from the mile relay and the low hurdles, pulled Wes Santee out of the 880-yard run, and were shut out in the pole crash.
This was the ninth consecutive championship for the Kansas track teams, for it has now won the cross country, indoor championship, and outdoor championship for the last three years.
The only field event record that was broken was the pole vault record of 14 feet 1 inch set by Bill Carroll of Oklahoma in 1948. The new record set by Frank Dickey of Missouri is 14 feet one and 3/8 inches.
Cindrich broke one of the oldest records in the books when he broke Bill Lyda's 440 record. Lyda set the record in 1942 for Oklahoma at 48. Cindrich ran the race in 47.9 Saturday. It was the first victory in a conference meet for Cindrich.
The sweep of the first three places in the two-mile and the javelin was good for more than one-third of the Jayhawk point total. In the two-mile Dick Wilson won his first individual conference meet victory as he won the race with the time
0 of 93,156 in Frame, indoor (twoc
champion, gymnasium), and Tom Eupm finished third.
Don Sneegas won first place in the javelin with a throw of 192 feet 2% inches. Don Bracelin took second place and Bill Brown finished third.
Santee was scratched in the half-mile, after he set the track record of 1:51.8 on Friday, so that teammate Lloyd Koby could win his first conference track meet victory. Koby won the 880 with a time of 1:53.8.
Santee appeared only in the mile run, winning by a 100-yard margin with a time of 4:13. This bettered the Colorado track record at 4:25.2 set in 1939 by John Doyle cf. East Denver High school. Santee's quarter times were 62.6, 64.7, 64.7, and 61.
Dick Blair and Bill Nieder took the other two first places which Kansas won in the meet. Blair tied the track record of 21.0 in the 220-yard dash and Nieder won the shot put with a throw of 51 feet $4 \frac{3}{4}$ inches.

The Big Seven track meet at Boulder Saturday was the final conference meet for six seniors on the Kansas track squad. And all but two of these men won a first place in one of the running events.
Wes Santee won his specialty, the mile run, in a comparatively slow time, for him, in 4:13.0, but this was good enough to beat teammate, and another senior Art Dalzell. Santee's time was also the fastest mile that had ever been run in Colorado.
Senior Frank Cindrich ran the fastest 440-yard dash (two turns) that had ever been run in the conference meet. Cindrich's time for the event was 47.9, bettering the old record by one-tenth second. Another senior, Dick Wilson, won the two-mile run in 9:39.1. Wilson beat two KU runners, Al Frame and Tom Rupp, both sophomores, in the race.
The fourth senior to win a first place was Lloyd Koby. Koby won the 880-vard run in 1:53.8.
Although Dalzell didn't win a first place he finished second in the mile, and fifth in the half mile.
The sixth senior on the track squad is discus thrower Morris Kay, but he failed to place in that event.
We hate to jump the gun on any predictions, but it looks as though Kansas will win its fourth straight cross-country, indoor, and outdoor meets next season.
The Kansas golf team finished a disappointing fifth in the conference meet, but the tennis team did as well, or better than expected, by finishing second.
The track outlook for next season is not too bad, even though the school loses athletes like Santee, Cindrich, Wilson, Koby, and Dalzell. Returning for more outdoor, indoor, and cross-country meets will be distance runners Rupp, Frame, and Norm Bitner, hurdler Bill Biberstein, dash man Dick Blair, and field men Leon Wells, Bill Nieder, Don Sneegas, Bill Brown, Gene Blasi, Don Bracelin, and Dick Knowles.
KU Tennis Team Gets 3rd Place
It looks like Colorado's track coach, Frank Potts, and Oklahoma's track coach. John Jacobs, were right when they said that Wes Santee wouldn't run better than a 4:10 mile at Boulder because of the high altitude. But they were both right when they said no school in the Big Seven would be able to stop KU's drive for their third straight outdoor track title. The Jayhawks could have conceivably scored more than the 134 points which they did, by entering the mile relay, and by entering Santee in the half-mile. But KU won the meet, and the few points they lost by not entering these events didn't make any difference in the final point tabulations.

The Kansas tennis team finished third in the Big Seven conference tennis meet held Saturday at Boulder. The University of Oklahoma won the tennis title by scoring 13 points, and they retained their tenis crown from last year. Colorado finished second with $1\frac{1}{2}$ points.
Kansas scored nine and one-half points followed by Iowa Stats with eight, Kansas State with four, Missouri with two and Nebraska with one.
220-yard low hurdles—1. Leven Gray, Missouri; 2. Ray Russell, Kansas State; 3. Bill Constantine, Missouri; 4. Ray Hoffman, Iowa State; 5. Dave Lewis, Colorado; 6. Pat Hindman, Colorado. 23.4.
In the singles finals Dick Haddley of Kansas defeated Jerry Starika, Colorado, 6-4, 9-7, and Roger Youmans, Kansas defeated Larry Penner, Kansas State, 6-2, 6-1.
In the doubles finals the match between Al Hedstrom and Dick Hadley of Kansas, and Ken Taylor and Jim Metzer of Oklahoma was called a draw because of rain that caused postponement of the match.
KU Golf Team Finishes 5th
The University of Colorado won the Big Seven golf championship at Boulder Saturday with a 54-hole team score of 890. Kansas finished fifth in the conference with a team score of 906.
The University of Oklahoma finished second in the conference with a score of 895, followed by Nebraska with 903, Iowa state with 904, Kansas, Missouri with 923, and Kansas State with 936.
Keith Alexander of Colorado, was medalist for the meet with a three over par 216 for the 54-holes. Colorado, who was runner-up in last year's meet, replaces Iowa State as the golf champion.

Australian Newsman's Job Described by Class Visitor
"The Australian newspaperman is in no case a graduate of a journalism school," Bryce Nkinear told a group of journalism students this morning. He said that there are only two schools of journalism in Australia and there is practically no opportunity for practical experience.
Mr. Kinnear is an Australian reporter for the Melbourne Herald. He is in America working for the Topeka Daily Capital on the State Department Newspaper Exchange program. He has been here 6 weeks of the total three months of the program.
Kinnear told of the cadet system which is used for training journalists in his country. The newspapers themselves conduct the training program which includes all aspects of journalism. The trainee serves as a cadet for four years during which an academically advances in position. After the four year training period he is classified as a Class "D" reporter and from there on he is on his own as to rate of advance.
Accuracy is one of the most important points of training. In Australia there are no re-write men or re-write desks. A reporter is expected to write his story ready for print.
When asked about American publications in his country, Mr. Kinnear said that there are hardly any American newspapers but that the top five periodicals in circulation are American. The magazine field is rapidly growing, he said, and the newspaper publishers are leading the advance in this field.
One important difficulty to be overcome he said, is to keep the reporters in their own country after they are trained. The lure of better opportunities and higher wage brings many to America and England. "It is more profitable for an Australian reporter to sell a short story on the worst American market than on the best Australian market," said Mr. Kinnear.
Two world track and field records were broken at the Coliseum Relays Saturday at Los Angeles when Fordham's two-mile relay team was clocked at 7:27.3, and Parry O'Brien heaved the shot 60 feet 51 inches.
