Santee Leads Kansas to New Marks Jayhawkers Break American Records in Relay Events Santee to Try Swimmers Win One, Lose Two Tank Duals
Led by brilliant Wes Santee, the University of Kansas swept the distance medley relay and the spring medley relay titles at the Michigan State relays Saturday night, setting new marks in each event.
Santee, who ran a 4:02.6 mile in the distance medley team and then came back after a 40-minute rest to run the half mile in 1:51.8, was the main force behind both victories.
He started the anchor leg on the distance medley 15 yards behind John Cook of Michigan. He passed Cook on the fifth lap, and sprinted on the last turn to finish about half a lap ahead.
The time for the distance medley was 9:51.4, better than nine seconds under the previous American record of 10:04.5, set by Michigan in 1952. It of course, also broke the meet and fieldhouse records.
The Kansas time for the sprint medley was 3:28.7, bettering the old meet and fieldhouse mark of 3:29.8, set by Kansas State last year. There is no recognized American record in that event, which is seldom run.
Santee's time in the mile was almost three seconds under the American record of 4:05.3, held by Gil Dodds. Santee's time, however, go in the record books because he was off to a running start.
But the Ashland Antelope will have a chance to break that mark when he returns to the maples this afternoon to run in the open mile on the same floor as Kansas meets, Illinois and Michigan State in a triangular indoor meet.
Santee's lap times for the mile were 58.8, 64.0, 60.4, and 59.4. He took the baton from Art Dallzell who ran the three-quarters in 3:03.0. Frank Cindrich ran the lead-off quarter in 50 seconds flat and Lloyd Koby followed with a 1:55.8
Lloyd Koby followed with a 1.558
flash in the 880-yard leg.
Santee was joined by Dick Blair Bill Hawkey, and Paul Hunt in the sprint medley.
Kansas captured another first in the meet when Al Frame, sterling sophomore from Wichita, ran the mile in 4:19.1.
Three other records were broken or tied in the meet. Gene Maynard of Illinois ran the 1,000-yard run in 2:13.9 to better the old meet mark of 2:14.8 held by Bill Jacobs of Oklahoma.
Illinois picked up six first places in the meet to stamp it the solid favorite when it meets Kansas and Michigan State in the triangular this afternoon.
Don Mitchell of Illinois jumped 6-6 5-8 to tie the high jump record and Dick Thompson of Illinois ran the 75-yard high hurdles in 9.1 to tie that mark.

—Will He Do It Today?
Battenfeld Cops Division IV Title
Riding the crest of a fourth quarter flood of points, Battenfell hall sank Jolliffe, 51-34, to claim the Independent "A." Division IV crown in Friday's windup of regular season intramural play.
Both teams, who possessed like 3-0 records before Friday's title tilt, now move into the Independent play-offs. In the only other scheduled game, Stephenson hall outlasted Sterlinv-Oliver. 37-31.
Battenfeld 51. Jolliffe 34
Battenfield turned loose rapid-scoring fast-break in the fourth stanza after three quarters of tight basketball to upend Jolliffe, 51-34. Trailing 17-16 at halftime, the winners improved their lost in the third period and pulled out to a four-point advantage at the three-quarter mark.
Then with the fourth quarter tip-off Battenfeld began pulling away. It had a 12-point spread within three minutes. The victors maintained the pace for the rest of the contest for their final margin of victory.
Late in the fourth quarter the losers pulled to within two points of the Stephenson quintet, but could not overtake them. Thor Bogren meshed 13 tallies to pace the victors, but Sterling-Oliver's Glenn Kirk took game honors with a 21-point performance.
Stephenson 11, Sterling-Oliver 31
Stephenson withstood a second half rally by Sterling-Oliver to escape with a 37-31 triumph. Rushing to an early 14-3 lead at one point early in the second quarter, Stephenson saw that margin slip to 20-15 at halftime.
Scoring laurels for the contest were taken by Battenfeld's Larry Davis with 15 counters followed closely by teammate Dick Schroff with 14. Ivo Feurborne topped the Jolliffe net, setting 12 tallies. . . . .

Santee to Try For 'Miracle' Mile Tonight

11:00 News
East Lansing, Mich. — (U.P.)—For the first time in history, an American runner makes a serious bid for the 4-minute "dream" mile tonight as Wes Santee of Kansas shoots for that target in a triangular meet against Illinois and Michigan State.

Bulletin
Bill Easton, Kansas U. track coach, disclosed his star's goal and said he thinks Santee will make it because he's "ready."
The lanky Kansan, who on June 5 last year reeled off a 4:02.4 clocking for the fastest mile in history by an American, proved that he is in "top form," said Eason, by his amazing performance in the Michigan State Relays Saturday night.
In that meet, Santee ran an anchor mile on a distance medley relay and was unofficially clocked in 4:026. Only 40 minutes later, he returned to the track to run an anchor half-mile on a sprint medley relay and clocked a brilliant 1:518.
The 4.02.6 clocking will remain strictly unofficial because, being done in a relay race, it was done from a running start. Easton estimated that Santee would have clocked "about 4:03" from the regular standing start.
KU Junior Varsity To Play Rockhurst
Assistant coach Dick Harp will take 10 men to Rockhurst tonight for a junior varsity clash in the Mason-Halbin fieldhouse.
Making the trip for the Jayhawkers will be Jerry Alberts, John Anderson, Harold McElroy, Jim Toft, Jack Wolfe, Bob Crisler, LaVern Fiss, Len Martin, Gary Padgett, and Wes Whitney.
Rockhurst will add a pair of crack sophomores—Jack McCloskey and Jack Hrdlicha—to its crack freshman team, which has won 13 victories in 15 starts in its effort to ruin the Jayhawkers' first start this year.
Alberts and Anderson are expected to start for Kansas along with McElroy or Toft at center and Wolfe and Martin or Padgett at the guards.

Kansas University's swimming team won one dual and lost two in action at Lincoln, Neb. over the weekend.
The Jayhawkers defeated Nebraska, 43-41 Friday but fell to Colorado, 44-40 at the same time. Saturday, Nebraska turned the tables on the Jayhawks, escaping with a 48-36 victory.
The Friday affair was actually only one meet with the swimmers from the three schools competing together. The meets were then scored as a series of duals rather than one triangular. And to add to the confusion, Nebraska defeated Colorado, 53-31, at the same time the Buffs were defeating Kansas and the Jayhawkers were downing the Huskers.
Dick Eflin was the individual star for Kansas, going unbeaten through the three meets. He won the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events Friday in both duals and then came back Saturday to again capture these two races.
Efin also ran an anchor leg on the Kansas 400-yard freestyle relay which captured three first places also. Others on the team were Don Burton, Leigh Stratton, and Pete Pombold.
Jerry Jester was the only other Kansan able to capture more than one win through the three matches. He won the diving events in both Nebraska events but lost to Colorado. Norman Gates finished second in one Nebraska dual and third in the other to give Kansas a near-sweep in these events.
Burton and Gene Buchanan were the only other winners for Kansas, Burton annexing the 200-yard freestyle title in the Colorado meet and Buchanan winning the 200-yard breast stroke in the first Nebraska dual.
Three new meet records were set during the 2-day meet. Calvin Bentz, Nebraska's ace freestyle swam to new records in the 220-yard freestyle and the 150-yard individual medley.
Kansas got the other one when its crack freestyle relay team lowered the old relay mark of 3:59.0 down to 3:53.2. That time was also under the Kansas school record of 3:55.0.
