Santee and Mates Take on Missouri
Wes Santee, Kansas' 1-man record-demolisher, places the third set of indoor track marks in his sights Friday when the Jayhawkers run Missouri at Columbia.
In pacing Bill Easton's crew to wins over Kansas State and Nebraska, the Ashland Antelope has established new mile and 880 clockings in each meet. He opened against State with a 4.125 mile and 1.543 half. He followed against the Huskers with figures of 4.153 and 1.562.
Significantly three of these four times are under Big Seven Indoor records. The mile currently is held by KU's Bob Karnes and Bib McQuire, of Missouri at 4:17.2. Sante missed this time by only 6-tenths of a second last year while flogging the indoor field as a sophomore.
Oklahoma's Don Crabtree rambled 1:54.6 last year to erect the current 890 record. Santee's mark at Manhattan, of course, was three-tenths under this clocking. And he had opened with that blistering 4:12.5 mile less than an hour previously, which leaves no doubt of his ability to come back for a second shiny performance.
The MU-KU dual records, logged in 39 years of warring, will be the toughest set Santee has tackled. McCure set a mile mark of 4.15.4 in 1949. Pat Bowers, second only to Glenn Cunningham in Jayhawker half-mile annals, ran 1.55.2 in 1950.
But don't bet Santee won't crumble both of these. For one thing, he always must step to beat his tiny stablemate, Art Dalzell, the defending outdoor champion, in the half. The Spring Hill junior has run second to Wes in both meets to date thus insuring an 8-1, wallop in that event.
Missouri will mount a capable threat in Bert McVay, who finished ahead of Santee in the conference indoor 880 last year in fourth place. McVay doubled last Friday against Indiana, running third in both the mile and 880. Ken Hershey will be another challenger in the shorter hail. McVay, of course, also may try to break through the Santee-Lloyd Koby tandem in the mile.
Two other Jayhawkers, spinter Don Hess, and quartermiler Don Smith, will jeopardize two meet records. Hessen speed .62 in winning day, and Smith speed .53 in day to establish a new meet mark. Smith rallied .053 in his specialty
The latter figure is 6-tenths of a second below the current Jayhawk-Tiger record which MU's Bob Schuster has held since '49. Three Mississippi players, Harry Culbitt and Byron Clark share the 60 standard at *n63.*
Easton's two-mile duo of Dick Wilson and Keith Palmquist, which have had things to themselves in the first two meets, will run into their stiffest challenge to date in Tiger Jerry Piper.
The latter has come along swiftly to maintain a niffy Tiger distance line which has featured McGuire and Bob Fox in post-war competition. Piper opened with a 9:38.5 against Iowa State and followed with a
College Loses 12 Cheating Players
The biggest cribbing scandal since the expulsion of 90 West Point cadets in 1951 has stripped William and Mary college of an estimated 30 to 35 students, including at least a dozen athletes.
The college is faced with a major athletic rebuilding job this week since first-string football and basketball players were among those dismissed from the old Virginia school for violations of the William and Marv honor code.
College officials admitted that infractions of the honor system had occurred, but maintained a tight-lipped policy and refused comment. They would not release the names of those involved in the dismissal.
This is the second scandal to hit the college in a year and a half. In August 1951 an athletic and administrative shakeup resulted from disclosure that some athletes had been given undeserved grades and that transcripts of promising high school stars had been altered to make them eligible for college sports.
sparkling 0:26.7 against Indiana.
Wilson ran 9:37.8 against K-State.
KU will be shooting at its 11th consecutive dual meet triumph in this one.
Road Teams Have It Good
Road teams have never had it so good in the Big Seven conference basketball race.
A check reveals that the visiting club has won 13 times and the home club only 14 times in Big Seven play to date. That’s nearly 500 per cent.
Coach Harry Good's Nebraska Cornhuskers are the league's best road team to date. They've got a 2-1 record on foreign courts, blasted Colorado by 15 at Boulder and Oklahoma by 6 at Norman while fading by 18 before Kansas at Lawrence.
Kansas is not far behind the Huskers, having won three and losing two on the road. The latest win being a 80-78 defeat of Kansas State at Manhattan.
Colorado, Kansas State, and Iowa State each have posted 2-2 records in road play to date. Missouri has a 2-3 record, Oklahoma is 0-2, falling with a crash at Lawrence and Manhattan. But who hasn't?
Moreover, some of the touring teams have won by whopping scores. Nebraska shellacked Colorado by 15 at Boulder, 80-65. Kansas drubbed Iowa State by 19 at Ames, 76-57. Iowa State came back and clobbered Nebraska by 18 at Lincoln, 78-60.
Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen's Kansas Jayhawkers are the best home court team to date with a 4-0 rating at Lawrence. The Kansans have murdered all opposition in their home state there 80-66, Missouri 86-62, Oklahoma 87-59, and Nebraska 77-58.
Jack Gardner's Kansas State Wildcats, previously unbeatable on their home floor, have a 2-1 rating now.
However, three Big Seven teams are playing below 500 per cent on their home floors. Colorado is 1-2, Nebraska 2-3, and Iowa State so far has lost all four of its starts on his home pinery at Ames.
Oklahoma has a 3-2 mark at Norman and Missouri a 2-1 record at Columbia.
Road teams have never had it so good in the 25-year-old Big Seven.
Frosh Thinclads Bop Colorado In First Meet
The Jayhawkers' freshman track squad gave evidence of continued Kansas strength on the cinders as they trounced the Colorado freshmen 81-2 to 22 1-3 in the year's first telegraph meet.
The Jayhawkter yearlings took nine firsts, swept six events, and broke three records as they ran up their margin of victory.
The new records were set by Bill Nieder, who heaved the shot 46 feet 2 inches; Leon Wells, who won the high jump at 6 feet 3 inches, and the mile relay team of Tom Pott, Jim Elliott, Ed Talbott, and Dick Blair, which went the distance in 3:31.0
As is usual with a team coached by M. E. "Bill" Easton, the freshmen were strong in the distances, sweeping both the mile and two-mile, and taking two places in the half.
The Kansans showed excellent strength and depth in the field events, sweeping the pole vault, shot put, and broad jump, and taking first and second in the high jump.

Kid Cagers Use Kid Gloves
Buffalo, N.Y.—(U.P.) It was a dark day for boys of the Cleveland Hill High school varsity basketball squad. They took an 8-6 drubbing from a team of female cheerleaders in the school gymnasium.
The basketball contest was staged to raise $100 for releaf of flood-striken Hollanders.
The boys said they really should have won the game even though they were playing at a disadvantage. They were required to wear boxing gloves.

'Spoiler Joe' Clamors For Tournament Spot
Phone 3162
Miami — (L)P— Spoiler Joe Miceli clamored for admission to the middleweight championship tournament on the strength of his upset, split decision over Bobby Dykes of Miami, last night.
Micei, a 3-1 underdog with one of the weirdest left hooks in the business, was the aggressor all the way and battetred the skinny Dykes with his pet punch often enough to get the votes of one judge and the referee.
"I want a shot at the title," he said.
"I'm a middleweight now, and I've beaten middleweights. I deserve to be in the tournament."
Miceli, with a record of winning when an underdog, currently is ranked as the world's sixth-ranking welterweight, but he tipped the beam at 151½ for last night's nationally-
televised 10-round battle in Coral Gables coliseum. Dykes weighed in at 157 as he made his middleweight debut.
