Kansas Runners Clash With Missouri Today
Wes Santee is pulling close to another one of Glenn Cunningham's feats as he sears the indoor clay and cinders of midlands tracks in edging toward the magic four-minute mile.
It isn't a specific Cunningham record Santee has in his sights. It's a performance of glittering consistency which helped embed the old Elkhart Express' name in gold letters on the world mile scene. Between 1932 and 1940, Cunningham, now a farmer at Elmdalde, Kan., ran 16 open miles in 41:10 or faster. Santee now has 13 to his credit.
In fact, counting relay carriers, Santee has bettered 4:10, the dividing level which separates the good ones from the great ones, no less than 17 times. Necessarily four of these performances must remain unofficial since they were relay clockings.
He runs today against Missouri at Columbia. This will be followed by the Big Seven championships next Friday and Saturday in Kansas City and the Chicago Daily News Games March 27.
The fabulous Cowpoke's latest effort went for a new world indoor mark on a dirt track when he blazed 4:04.9 against Michigan State and Illinois in a tight triangular at East Lansing Monday night.
Aside from the four-minute mile, the mincing Kansas has only these goals left: 1. Gil Dodds indoor board-track world record of 4:05.3; 2. Cunningham's 4:04.4, swiftest time ever recorded on an indoor layout of any type; and 3. Gundar Hagg's 4:01.4 World Outdoor mark.
In his immediate sights is the KU- meet standard of 4:12.9 which he erected last year at Brewer fieldhouse. It is likely Satan will be running only to win in this race today since he'll be doubling in the 880, and standing by for duty on the mile relay foursome.
Kansas will be aiming at its 15th consecutive dual or triangular triumph against a Big Seven opponent in the match at Brewer fieldhouse. This victory string of indoor and outdoor meets stretches back to the 1951 indoor season. Including cross-country, duals, triangulars, and conference meets in cross-country, indoor and outdoor track, Bill Easton's gang now has not been humbled by a league foe in 47 starts.

Yankees, Reynolds Reach No Agreement
New York—(U.P.)—Holdout pitcher Allie Reynolds conferred with New York Yankee officials and headed home for Oklahoma City today with the cryptic remark that "the Yankees and I have an understanding." The 37-year-old fast ball star left to his listeners to decide whether he meant: 1. He and the Yankees have reached partial agreement on salary terms or 2. He and the Yankees now understand each other's position clearly—they each know what the other wants, and they still don't agree. Most listeners subscribed to translation No. 2.

A CAMPUS-TO-CAREER CASE HISTORY
BOB WILSON works on a "breadboard" circuit, studying the electrical properties of a carrier system.
Fresh out of school, Bob Wilson,'53 was put to work on a Transistor project at Bell Laboratories. He explains why he never had time to be awed. (Reading Time: 39 seconds)
"My group was working on the experimental application of transistors to carrier systems. My assignment was the electrical design of a variolosser for the compressor and for the expander to be located in the terminals.
"But I didn't have time to be awed because they put me right to work. They gave me responsibility fast."
"The supervision I received and the equipment I had were tops. I quickly discovered that I had to rely on my enguity as much as on the college courses I had taken. Perhaps that's one reason for the
"In some ways it was hard to believe. I had received my B.E.E. at the University of Delaware in June, 1953, and a week later I was working in the worldfamous Bell Laboratories.
great new discoveries continually turned out by the Labs.
"Now, I'm in the Communication Development Training Program, continuing my technical education and learning what all the Laboratories sections do and how their work is integrated.
"In a year I'll be back working with the group with which I started."
Assuming responsibility fast is a common experience among the engineering, physical science, arts and social science, and business administration graduates who join the Bell System. Bob Wilson went with Bell Laboratories. There also are job opportunities with the operating telephone companies, Western Electric and Sandia Corporation.
