Santee Fuels Jayhawkers To 4 Wins at Texas Relays
Bv DON TICE
Kansan Assistant Sports Editor
Led by the brilliant running of Wes Santee, Kansas broke two records and tied a third as it swept all four distance relays at the Texas Relays Friday and Saturday in Austin, Texas.
The sprint medley team of Don
The sprint medley team of Don Smith, Frank Cindrich, Dick McGlinn, and Wes Santee, running 440-220-220-880, ran the distance in 3:21.8, bettering by .9 the world record set in that event by New York university in 1950. Santee's time in anchoring that event, one of the best of his career in the 880, was 1:49.4.
A 16-year-old American record in the four-mile relay fell as Santee anchored the Kansas quartet with a 4.06.7 mile, the fastest mile run this year in collegiate ranks. The team, consisting of Art Dalzell, Lloyd Koby, Dick Wilson, and Santee, turned in a time of 17:14.0, two seconds under the previous record of 17:16.1 set by Indiana in 1937.
Running with that choppy stride, that can be very deceiving to those who aren't familiar with the Ashland Antelope's abilities, Santee anchored all four winning distance relays, and was overwhelmingly voted the outstanding performer at the two-day cinder carnival.
Completing its four-way sweep, the same Kansas foursome won the distance medley relay, consisting of three-quarter, and mile, in 10:15.7
In the two-mile relay, the same team of Dalzell, Koby, Wilson, and Santee won in 7:41.8 to tie the record set by Oklahoma in 1952.
Friday the wilLOWy young Olympic runner did the half in 1,49.4, and came back to run the mile in 1,419.2. That was better than in 1,406.7, and ran the half in 1,519.
By winning the outstanding athlete award, Santee became the first man in Midwestern relay history to win that award at the three big relays, Kansas, Drake, and Texas. He was chosen outstanding athlete at the other two meets last year.
SPEEDY—Wes Santee, the great Jayhawker distance runner, anchored all four of the winning distance relay events at the Texas Relays this weekend. Kansas set a new world record in the sprint medley, set a new American mark in the four-mile relay, and tied the old mark set in the two-mile relay by Oklahoma in '52.
Bill Biberstein, Attica sophomore, was the only individual winner for the Jayhawkers as he broke the
In point totals, Texas A&M were tops with 115%4. The Aggies were led by Olympic weightman Darrow Hooper, high point man in the meet with 20 points, who set a new relays record in the shot with a 56 feet 2%4 inches heave.
tape in the 120-yard high hurdles in :14.9. He narrowly defeated Ronnie Dobson of Oklahoma.
Kansas placed third in team totals with 81 points, following Texas A&M and the host team, Texas, who had $ 82_{1 \frac{1}{2}} $ points.
Two Jayhawker Grid Stars Sign Pro Football Contracts
Two of seven KU football stars drafted by the National Professional Football League in February have signed contracts with the clubs that picked them.
Three rookies who still belong technically to farm teams have pitched 48 innings without allowing an earned run this spring and rate an excellent chance of winning a job on the Brooklyn Dodgers' staff.

Dodger Rookies Looking Great
For Johnny Podres, a 20-year-old left-hander, and Bob Mulliken, a 21-year-old right-hander, the prospects of promotion are soon. Glenn Mickens, another young right-hander, must wait until his discharge from the Army in mid-May to resume his baseball career. He's currently spending his furlough time in the Brooklyn camp.
Podres extended his string of consecutive scoreless innings to 19 yesterday when he pitched the first six of the Dodgers' 1-0 victory over the New York Yankees. He gave up only four hits and walked two.
Milliken, recently discharged from the Army, and Mickens each has pitched 12 exhibition innings without allowing a run.
The Dodgers, whose pitching last year was so unstable that they had to rely on reliever Joe Black for 56 appearances, might easily find a spot in their starting rotation for one or more of these rookies, particularly Podres. Manager Charley Dressen expects to promote Podres and Milliken to the Dodgers before the opening of the new season.
The St. Louis Cardinals jumped on four Cincinnati Reds pitcher for 16 hits and won, 9-5, with the help of homers by Stan Musial and Enos Slaughter.
Oliver Spencer, hulking tackle and co-captain last season, has signed a one-year pact with the champion Detroit Lions. Spencer said, however, that he probably will be in the Air Force by next season.
Both Galen Fiss and Merlin Gish, linebackers drafted by the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Colts, have another semester of school and have not signed. Fiss said he was interested in playing for the Browns, but could not sign while playing varsity baseball.
Quarterback Jerry Robertson said he has discussed signing with Pittsburgh Steeler officials but has not yet come to any decision. Co-captain Charlie Hoag, who set a school mark for yards gained in spite of a leg injury that kept him out of three grid games and the basketball season, was unavailable for comment.
"I have not signed because I plan to go into the service when I graduate," Gil Reich, all-American defensive back and the Green Bay Packers number two draft choice.
George Mrkonic, tackle and chief Jayhawk punter, hopes to get in a year of play before going into the service. He has signed for one year with the Philadelphia Eagles.
