The race is the result of a bet made last spring. Santee bet his brothers that he could whip them in a relay race. In the race, Santee will run the full distance while the other boys, as a relay team, each will run a half mile. The race will be held on U.S. highway 24-40 from Tonganoxie to Lawrence. One reason Santee agreed to run is that he is determined to redeem himself in the 1956 Olympics. He is convinced that he must work on longer and longer distances to compete against such incredible Europeans as Emil Zatopek of Czechoslovakia. Farrel Schell, Acacia president, is certain they can beat Santee. Christmas Books of Special Interest To All Kansans Morning in Kansas Kenneth S. Davis Leave It To Miss Annie Georgia Tucker.
