KU Teams, DeVinney Set New Drake Marks
Kansas' record-smashing long distances relay teams set a new U.S. mark in the four-mile race and established two new Drake Relays records in the distance medley and mile relays at the 43rd annual running of the Drake games Friday and Saturday. Bob DeVinney broke the U.S. 440-yard hurdles record.
Friday the Jayhawker four milers
Friday, the Jayhawker tour milters—Lloyd Koby, Art Dalzell, Herb Semper and Wes Santee—were timed in 17:15.9. This is two-tenths of a second shy of the mark set by Indiana in 1937. Sweden holds the world record with a 17:02.8 time, set in 1941.
The Kansans came back Saturday with John Reiderer, Dave Fischer, Semper and Santee setting a new Drake distance-medley mark of 10.01.8. The old record, set last year by Michigan, was 10.05.6.
Kansas' mile relay team—Don Smith, Frank Cindrich, Reiderer and Bob DeVinney—copped another Drake record with a 3:13.1 time. The old Drake mark was 3:14.1 set by Ohio State in 1939.
DeVinney established a new hurdles intercollegiate mark with a 52.4 showing. The old Drake mark was set in 1848 by Lee Foracre of Minnesota at 52.7. This also was the intercollegiate mark.
Onga. They four-mile record was one the Jayhawks had been shooting at since the Texas Relays. They won the event there with a 17:21.2 effort. At the Kansas Relals last weekend, the Jayhawkers clipped off the distance in 17:13.8 on a wet track.
But the Jayhawks weren't the only ones to set records in the Drake games. Illinois shattered the intercollegiate standard in the two-mile relay with a 7.31.6 time. The old American record was set at 7.31.8 by Michigan in 1950.
Santee again was the top man in the Kansas efforts as he was in the Kansas Relays. Friday, the limber-legged sophomore posted a 4:08.9 mile in his final-carry of the four-mile race. Saturday, he romped to the tape in 4:08.3 in the mile leg of the distance-medley race.
The Big Seven conference trackmen had two great days at the Drake games. Besides Kansas' three winning relay teams and DeVinney's 440-yard hurdles mark. Missouri's Bob Fox captured the two-mile run victory in 9:18:2. Neville Price, Oklahoma, won the broad jump with a leap of 23 feet, $7\frac{1}{8}$ inches and took the hop-step-jump event with a 45 foot, 1 inch effort, and Bob Gordon of Missouri took the high jump with a 6 foot, 6 inch leap.

Confusion Reigns in Muddled Majors But Reds Win Twice; Indians Lose
New York —(U,P)— The major leagues were full of wonderful confusion today.
Nothing made much sense anywhere.
The Cincinnati Reds, instead of the Cleveland Indians, were stirring things up in Ohio. The St Louis Browns and Chicago White Sox won't know how they stand with each other until July 3 because of two suspended games, and fans in the East were beginning to wonder if the team started five continuous days of riot have produced 11 postponed games in the National and 10 in the American, most of them in the east.
There was plenty of excitement, though, wherever baseball was played yesterday. At Cincinnati, the astonishing Reds trimmed the Pirates, 8 to 2 and 1 to 0, to take over second place again, just half a game behind the Dodgers. But Cleveland, which started out by winning its first seven games, encountered further trouble in Detroit where Lefty Ted Gray handed them a 1 to 0 shutout.
In other games yesterday, the Cubs topped the Cardinals, 6 to 3, to stay half a game behind Cincinnati in third place in the National league, while at Chicago the White Sox outlasted the Browns, 7 to 6 in 14 innings, then had the second game suspended after five innings because of darkness while they were in front, 3 to 1.
Nearly 26,000 farm workers came to Canada in 1951, almost all from Europe.

By JOHN HERRINGTON Kansan Sports Editor
A week ago Saturday, a sophomore from Ashland was named the outstanding performer at the Kansas Relays on the strength of steller performance in the four-mile relay and distance-medley relay.
This past Saturday, Wes Santee doubled as the outstanding performer in the Drake Relays at Des Moines by an overwhelming 32-1 vote of sportswriters.
And while the votes were heavy for Santee, praise of the lanky miler was just as heavy.
"Santee is the greatest prospect for the four-minute mile America has yet produced," said Drake coach Tommy Deckard, "He not only has the physical qualifications but the mental and spiritual as well."
"We'll have to see him in some more races," veteran track follower Charles Hoyt, former Michigan track coach, said, "but from what I've seen of him he definitely has an excellent chance to become the world's best miler."
After completion of the last leg of the four-mile relay, with Santee 40 yards behind Georgetown's Joe LaPierre at the start of the final mile and 10 yards ahead at the end, Georgetown Coach Frank Sevigne said:
"I had thought maybe Santee, being a sophomore, might run himself out, trying to overhaul LaPiierre, but he played it just right. It was a great race and a great victory."
Amidst all the eloquent praise, Jayhawker Coach Bill Easton's comment could seem like the under statement of the year.
The Kansas coach said that Santee is "the greatest sophomore prospect I've ever seen."
Long-time sports editor of the Des Moines Register, Sec Taylor, summed the whole poll of public opinion up nicely when he wrote: "Santee stuck out above every other athlete like the Aleutian Islands into the Bering Sea."
