Kansas Wins Third Straight Big Seven Indoor Crown
Santee Sets New Mile Mark; Biberstein Wins Hurdles
By DANA LEIBENGOOD
Kansan Assistant Sports Editor
Kansas City, Mo—The power-laden University of Kansas track team, with Wes Santee and Bill Biberstein scoring double victories, rolled to its third successive Big Seven indoor track championship here Saturday night.
Kansas scored 58 points in the meet while Missouri had 32, Oklahoma, $ 27_{1/2} $ ; Colorado, 21; Kansas State, 20; Nebraska, $ 11_{1/2} $ , and Iowa State, 11.
A capacity crowd of 9,000 showed up for the Municipal auditorium showing, evidently to watch Santee's attempt at the four-minute mile. They didn't see the Ashland senior accomplish that feat or even the world indoor board track record but they did see him break his own Big Seven indoor mark of 4:08.3 when he toured the 12-lap course in 4:05.6.
Santee, by winning the mile feature thus joined the elite of Big Seven track performers. It was his third straight triumph in that race. And when he won the half mile with a clocking of 1:55.2, it gave him two successive victories in that event.
Sentee started off slowly in the mile, teammate Art Dalzell leading the way through the first lap. Ken Hirshey of Missouri took the lead for the second lap and then Santee went to the front to stay. He opened up with a load of 25 yards and then increased it from that point on. He finally lapped two other competitors before crossing the finish line.
Kansas scored a near-sweep in the event, Dalzell finishing second; Al Frame, third, and Lloyd Koby, fifth. That order was good enough for 13 points out of a possible 15.
In the half mile, Santee again started slowly, taking over the lead at the sixth lap of the eight-lap event. He finished well in front of Dalzell and the Jayhawkers chalked up another eight points.
After finishing third in the mile, Frame game back an hour later to win the two-mile in 9:39.5. He ran last for the first nine laps but finally took over the lead from Dick Wilson at the start of the 20th lap and went on from there to w easy. The Jayhawkers picked up three more points in the event when Norm Bittner finished third. Wilson, the favorite in the event, tired badly in the last half of the race and failed to finish.
The Jayhawkers drew first blood of the evening when Biberstein cleared the high hurdles in 7.6 seconds. Biberstein, who finished second in the event last year, took over the lead at the third hurdle and sprinted across the line in front.
He then became the night's first double winner when he marked up another victory in the low hurdles. Rated no better than a so-contender in either event, Biberstein beat out the highly-regarded Missouri twosome of Leven Gray and Bill Constantine. His time for the event was seven seconds flat.
Cliff Dale of Nebraska defended his shot-put crown with a heave of 49-8 $ ^{3 / 4}$, good enough for his second successive first-place. Gene Blasi of Kansas came through with one of the meets surprises when he threw the shot 49-12$, good enough for second place. It was also a new Kansas school record.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the meet was in the high jump where Kansas' Leon Wells tied Oklahoma's Bob Whidbill for first place with a leap of 6-4. Kermit Hollingsworth, the Jayhawkers' Big Seven outdoor title-holder last year, had to settle for a third-track tie.
Kansas picked up an additional two points in the 60-yard dash when Dick Blair finished fourth behind three Big Seven football standouts—Juel Sweatte, Oklahoma; Corky Taylor, Kansas State, and Carroll Hardy of Colorado.
The only events in which Kansas didn't place was the 440-yard dash and the pole vault.

Jayhawks Meet Buffs Tonight
Continued From Page 3
Haldorson poses the greatest problem for the Jayhawkers. Coming into the game as the league's top scorer, the 6-7, 20- pounder dropped in 33 points against Oklahoma in Norman Saturday night to bring his season's total to 317 points for an average of 17.1 per game.
Besides Haldorson's play, a major part of the Colorado success this year also has been attributed to the Buffs' tenacious man-to-man defense. Sparkplugs in this tightlyknit defensive crew are Harrold and Mock, the two little guards.
Coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen will present a new face in his starting lineup tonight when John Anderson, brawny 6-3 footballer, takes over a starting guard position, replacing Bill Heitholt, who has started the last five games.
The rest of the Kansas starters will remain the same. Al Kelley and Harold Patterson will go to the forward posts, B. H. Born will open at center, and Dallas Dobbs will be at the other guard slot.
