Santee Beats 28-Man Relay Team By 200 Yards in 14-Mile Marathon
By DON TICE Kansan Sports Writer
Wes Santee, Kansas University distance ace, surprised everyone including himself Saturday as he paced off the 14 mile jaunt from Tonganoxie to Lawrence in one hour, 14 minutes, and nine seconds.
Santee defeated his 28 Acacia fraternity brothers by about 200 yards. John Quarrier, quarter miler on the freshman track squad, finished the last lap 50 seconds behind the Ashland antelope.
"I was very surprised and pleased with the times in the race," Santee said. "Not only did I run faster than I expected to, but I was surprised to see that the guys averaged two minutes and 42 seconds apiece on their half-miles."
Santee ran the first mile, his fastest, in four minutes and 41 seconds to take a 100 yard lead over Ralph Moody and Bob Keefer, first two runners for the fraternity. He maintained this distance for several miles, and then increased it to as much as 500 yards at about the $ \frac{3}{4} $-mark in the race. With most of its better runners stationed towards the end of the course the Acacia team was able to narrow this lead considerably by the end of the race.
When asked if he was in trouble anytime during the race, Santee said "there was one place about three miles from home, when I was running into the north-west wind that my face got pretty cold and my neck muscles began to tighten up, but as soon as I turned south again I warmed up."
All the runners were warmly clad because of the near-freezing weather, accompanied by snow-flurries early in the race. Santee wore blue sweat clothes and pulled heavy wool socks over his hands for mittens. Most of the Acacia runners were clad in

Kansas Track Coach M. E. (Bill) Easton was pleased with his star's performance. He followed Santee in a station wagon and gave him his
times on each mile.
Kansas Highway patrol cars followed Santee and the fraternity runners over the course, causing traffic on highway 24-40 to pile up behind them as much as a half mile at times.
About 50 spectators were at the south end of the Kaw river bridge to see the finish of the race, and a number of others followed all or part of the contest in cars.
