Thursday, Feb. 4, 1954] Here We Go Again -
By KEN BRONSON
Kansan Sports Editor
Welcome aboard! It's back to the books again and the long grind that always comes in a semester's work. But we hope you'll find time to stop and talk every now and then through this column.
It might not be such a bad semester if you're a sports fan because we think the Jayhawker athletic teams are going to spin another web of supremacy over Big Seven foes.
The Kansas eagers should keep right on winning although some people can't figure out how they're doing it. The KU indoor and outdoor track teams again should bring home two more titles.
Charles "Chuck" Mather will begin the stiff job of molding a football team together when spring practice begins. And then, of course there is the baseball season to watch for, both on the local scene and in the major leagues.
The Kansas Relays will take over most of the athletic spotlight in the middle of April, and Wes Santee may provide even more talk than has been connected with him running the 4-minute mile. He may even run it.
But regardless of what happens during the spring semester, we extend to all of you a cordial invitation to ride "Along the Jayhawker Trail" with us during the next eight weeks. Then we'll turn the reins over to Dana Leibengood and bow out to the more serene corners of the newsroom.

Incidentally, Santee has received another citation to add to his bulging trophy collection. This time, its the Sports magazine award for the top performer in track and field during 1953.
You'll remember that Clyde Lovellette won that honor in basket-ball a couple of years back when Kansas won the national title and a trip to the Olympics. It's another title that doesn't come easily.
Here is what the magazine had to say about Santee's performance during 1953:
"Wes Santee, University of Kansas miler, who has his eyes and his heart set on the four-minute mile that has eluded so many great runners for so long, came closer than anybody has in a long time when he turned in a sizzling 4:02.4 mile at the Compton Relays at Compton, Calif., on June 6, 1953.
"It was his peak performance of the year but only one in a long string of victories. That, he is the top miller active in the country today, no one doubts.
"He beat out such stars as pole-vaulter Bob Richards, shot-putter Parry O'Brien and half-miler Mal Whitfield to take the top performer award and follow in the footsteps of Gil Dodds, Harrison Dillard, McPatton, Jim Fuchs, Richards, and Bob Mathias, all previous award winners."
Another great tribute to a great runner!

Oklahoma may have had a much better football team than Kansas in the fall of 1953 but the Jayhawkers will place just as many men in the pro ranks next fall (that is, if everyone decides to play)
Both schools placed four men on the list of 360 college players drafted last week by the 12 pro football teams in this country.
Bob Hantla, Harold Patterson, Morris Kay, and Joe Lundy were the Kansans drafted. Hantla and Kay will go to San Francisco, Patterson to Philadelphia, and Lundy to Cleveland.
But both Oklahoma and Kansas had to take a back seat in the draft when Veryl Switzer, Kansas State's flashy halfback, was the only Big Seven performer picked in the first round selection. He was grabbed by Green Bay.
But the real surprise came when J. D. Roberts, Oklahoma's all- American guard, wasn't nabbed until the 17th round.
The Pros offered three reasons why Roberts wasn't picked sooner. They were: 1. He is smaller than the average pro lineman (5-10, 202); 2. Oklahoma players have had the bad habit of straying to Canada; 3. Most of the teams doubted if he could make the grade.
Oh well, he didn't have a very good college record anyway. Too bad he doesn't have another year of competition or a twin brother. Kansas might grab him then and the Jayhawkers wouldn't care whether he went to Canada or not.

Santee Breaks Two Records As KU Wins Indoor Opener
Tuning up for next week's date at the Michigan State Relays, the Kansas Jayhawkers dumped Kansas State and Oklahoma in an indoor triangular meet last Friday in the Kansas State fieldhouse.
Coach Bill Easton's trackmen racked up 58½ points to Kansas State's 41½ and Oklahoma's 29.
Wes Santee continued his record-breaking spree when he set new fieldhouse records in the mile and 880-yard runs to pace the Kansas victory. The Ashland antelope ran the mile in 4:09 to bust the old mark of 4:12.5, set by him last year, and then repeated in the 880 with a time of 1:53.4 to eclipse his old mark of 1:54.3, also set last year.
Bill Biberstein captured another Jayhawker first when he ran the 60- yard high hurdles in 7.6 and Kermit Hollingsworth added another when he tied with Oklahoma's Erwin Cook in the high jump, each going 6-1.
Kansas ran one-two-three in the 880. mile, and 2-mile to continue its sweep of the distance events. Art Dakell ran second to Santee in the 880 and mile; Allen Frame took third in the mile and second in the 2-mile; Lloyd Koby ran third in the 880. and Dick Wilson and Tom Rupp ran first and third, respectively, in the 2-mile run.
But the biggest surprise came in the shot-put when Dick Knowles handed the Jayhawkers another first with a heave of 49-1/2. Then Gene Blasi came in third and Gene Vignatelli, fourth.
Oklahoma and Kansas State each captured three firsts. The Sooners picked up titles in the 60-yard dash, the 440-vard dash, and the broad jump while Kansas State's mile relay team captured that title to go along with Corky Taylor's win in the low hurdles and Fred Wingert's first place in the pole vault.
