Santee, Price May Break Old Records
Their performances to date indicate two Big Seven track and field men-KU's Wes Santee and Oklahoma's Neville Price—are very likely to batter their own records this weekend in the conference indoor track meet at Kansas City.
Preliminaries will be run in the Municipal auditorium Friday night and the finals will be Saturday. The final night already is sold out.
The main mark in danger is Santee's 4:08.3 mile time he set last year on the 1/12-mile board track. He also has a good chance to eclipse his 1:52.5 half mile standard, set last winter in the prelims. Price's record in the broad jump is 24 feet, 9 inches.
Santee, the toast of the track world, already has cracked his mile mark this year. He set a new dirt track mark of 4:04.9 last week in a triangular at Michigan State against State and Illinois, and three nights before that raced an unofficial 4:02.6 mile on the Jayhawk relay team.
So he will be out to erase Gil Dodds' 4.05.3 indoor board track mark, plus his own Big Seven mark.
Price leaped 24 feet. $5/1/2 inches Saturday in a New York meet, indicating he is about ready to go for his mark also.
However, Price probably will get stiff competition from K-State's Veryl Switzer and Carrol Hardy of Colorado. Hardy set a new Kansas State fieldhouse record Saturday with a lean of 24 feet, 2 inches.
Frank Dickey, Missouri captain and No. 1 pole vaulter, went just a shade over the Kansas City record in that event in an early meet this season. He cleared 14 feet, ¼ inch against Notre Dame—the record is 13 feet, 11½ inches. Dennis Ploester of Colorado did 13 feet, 7 3/8 against K-State last week-end.
The mile relay, too, might have a new record time recorded. Set at 3:21 by Oklahoma last year, it is in danger from K-State, whose four-some has turned in a best time of 3:24.2 in a dual meet.

Kansan Ballet Will Be Given Tonight
A capacity crowd attended the first showing of the Kansan Ballet last night in Robinson pool.
The Quack club production was enthusiastically received as the members enacted news stories in their "Four Star Final" edition.
Dry ice in the water effectively set the scene for a scientific story. The work of professors Margey Null, education junior, Sue Wright, education junior, Nancy Campbell, college sophomore, and Mary Taggert, college junior, was the discovery of a chemical for drying bones.
Many difficult dives were executed by Ann Laptad, education sophomore, Jerry Jester, college senior, Dallas Chestnut, college sophomore, and Norman Gates, education junior.
Communist repatriation was reported as a boat formed by members of Quack club carried prisoners to their homes.
Red helium-filled balloons were used in the finale by the girls to spell "K.U."
The Kansas Ballet is to be given again tonight and tomorrow at 8 p.m. Tickets are 60 cents.

Stengel Thinks Bosox Top Threat
St. Petersburg, Fla. —(U.P.)— If the Yankees should fail in their quest for a sixth straight American league pennant, Casey Stengel thinks the Red Sox will win it.
Not that he figures his Yankees won't do it, but he said he was impressed with "those youngsters Lou Boudreau has."
"And you can't discount the fact that he'll have Ted Williams all season. If he hits this year like he did when he came back out of service last year, that could be the difference." Stengel reasoned.
He also feels that the Red Sox pulled a good deal when they obtained Jackie Jensen from the Senators "even though they had to give up a good pitcher in Mickey McDermott and a fine fielding outfielder in Tom Umphell."
Russell Whelchel with a score of 87 out of a possible 100, was high score man in the University's playoff in the Intercollegiate Billiards tournament, held Tuesday and Wednesday in the Student Union. Duane Smith came in second with a score of 67, and Carl Cole, third_scoreing 46.
Whelchel Wins First In Billiard Plav-off
Puerto Rico, meaning "rich port," has 2,500,000 inhabitants squeezed into 3,435 square miles. Among American states and territories, only Rhode Island has more persons per square mile.
There the scores will be assembled and the top three schools announced. The three will meet at a central point to play off the national championship.
Thirty-two schools are entered in the tournament. The results will be sent to Purdue university, chairman of the billiard championship.

Frame Will Take Santee's Place Next Season
Kansas City — (U.P.)— When it comes to track competition, Kansas university has had the same motto for years: "Win by the mile."
"You don't find sophomores with that kind of speed every season," Easton said. "He may never be as great as Santee, but he's got plenty of promise.
Bv BILL ROSENTRETER
Easton has great hopes that he will carry on the Kansas tradition in the mile, particularly since Frame won the open mile in the Michigan State relays in 4:19.1.
Glance through the years and recall the great milers the Jay-hawkers have produced — Glenn Cunningham, Bob Karnes, Herb Semper and today's Wes Santee, the fastest miler in the nation.
And now comes a new name—Allen Frame. He's just a sophomore, but he's Coach Bill Easton's crown prince, ready to take the throne when Santee is graduated this spring.
The speedy son of an efficiency expert at the Beech Aircraft company in Wichita, Kan., Frame already has hit the headlines, proving he's only about one season away from stardom.
"Whenever we can get Al to lift his knees, he moves out," the Kansas coach explained. "He must eliminate that of a low knee shuffle. When this is accomplished, he will improve even more rapidly. I might add he is working at it faithfully."
Scholastically, Frame is as accomplished as he is athletically. He never had less than an "A" in Wichita East high school, save for one "C" in tying.
If he could have used his talented feet instead of his hands in that class, there is a suspicion he might have emerged with an unsullied upper arm. He has three semesters at Kansas, he has logged a 2.4 (B-plus) grade average.
How did Frame become interested in track?
"I was in the fourth grade at Seattle, Wash," he recalls. "One day three high school boys and I ran a half-mile race in a neighborhood meet over a measured course. It was on concrete sidewalks. I won and that's when I got to thinking."
His running ambition in college is to get below 4:10 in the mile and under nine minutes in the two mile.

B'Team Wins2ndGame Beats Rockhurst 76-50
By STAN HAMILTON Kansan Sports Writer
Over-all rebounding and floor work last night gave the Kansas junior varsity a comparatively easy 76-50 victory over the Rockhurst "B" team in Hoch auditorium.
The victory, paced by fourteen points by Chris Divich and 12 by Gary Padgett, gave the KU Jayvees their second decision over Rockhurst this season. The first was by a 71-66 count at Kansas City Feb. 15.
KU ran off to a 10-point first quarter bulge of 19-9. The visitors got only two field goals in that 10 minutes and were out rebounded by the rugged Kansans. Eight of the nine men used by Coach "Phog" Allen scored in the initial quarter.
Eight field goals in the second quarter pushed KU to its highest scoring period of the night—21—while the losers again were out-scored by 10. Two fielders and a free toss by Len Martin and 4-point performances by Jerry Alberts, Divich, and Hal McElroy helped the cause.
Before Hawk forward Jim Sittington fouled out with 1:20 remaining in the third quarter, he netted nine points to help his team to its best quarter, trailing Kansas by two, 16-18. Martin again was high for the locals with five and Jack Wolfe got four.
Padgett and Divich provided the whole Kansas show in the closing quarter, getting eight and six, respectively, to lead the team to 18 points. Rockhurst got 14, the last nine coming from substitute Larry Scanlon.
Starter John Anderson also was banished on fouls in the third period, going to the bench with six points and 2:50 left on the clock.
