Kansas Two-Mile Team Could Set Big Seven Record By Winning Meet
Heavily favored, Kansas can establish a modern Big Seven record by bagging its fifth consecutive fall two-mile championship here Saturday.
Every conference club except Nebraska, will go to the post at 11 a.m. on the Memorial stadiuminders.
Bill Easton's Jayhawkers already have equalled Kansas State's modern league record of four consecutive team titles which the Wildcats rolled up from 1936 through 1939.
Kansas has won on its home lot the last two years, once at Manhattan and once at Ames, Iowa. No school since the formation of the old Big Six in 1928 has been able to put together as many as five successive triumphs.
Iowa State once ran a string of ten straight from 1913 through 1923 in the old Missouri Valley days.
There doesn't appear to be a club capable of short-circuiting KU's surge. The Jayhawk runners have bowled over Oklahoma A&M, M Kansas State, Missouri and Oklahoma. Highest score was a 11-25 win at Norman in a race which saw five runners break 9:30.0.
Most of Kansas' strength is wrapped up in its veteran captain, Herb Semper, and a new sophomore sensation, Wes Santee. This pair has been pushing the stopwatch down to national championship levels in
mere dual meets.
Santee, a tall ranch-hand from Ashland, has unfurled winning times of 9:14.7, 9:18, 9:13.7, and 9:07.2, in sweeping four meets.
Semper, defending NCAA cross-country king, has hit 9:15, 9:30, 9:21 and 9:08.4. Any of these figures would have been good enough to win any league dual this autumn had he not been running against Santee.
This pair of speedsters will seriously jeopardize the 9:17.5 record which Missouri's John Munski hung up in 1938. Between them they now have run below this mark five times to date.
Semper will be defending the title he won a year ago in 9:19.8. If either he or Santee cops it it will give Kansas a five-year skein on the individual championship too.
Impressive as they have been, Easton's twin terrors are expected to feel pressure from Jim Wilkinson and Bruce "Bulldog" Drummond, of Oklahoma and Missouri's Bob Fox. Wilkinson took his first beating of the year against Kansas after romping home first in three duals. Drummond ran 9:28 in finishing fourth against the Jayhawkers.
Los Angeles—(U.P.)—Dusky Jimmy Carter, impressive victor over California's Art Aragon, tossed off that label "the champion nobody knows" today and set his gleaming world lightweight crown at a jaunty angle.
Carter Gains More Renown
For Carter, the man who surprised everyone by taking the title from Ike Williams six months ago, became "the champion everybody knows" as he punched his way to a 15-round unanimous decision over Aragon last night while an estimated 60,000,000 fans watched him on television.
Hunters Discover Pheasants More Plentiful Than Rooms
It was the first championship fight telecast from coast to coast, and was an artistic success for both science and Carter.
The 27-year-old champion looked every inch a boxing king as he unveiled a bag of ring tricks, fast footwork and a strategy made to wear down the challenger, who, until the bout, was hailed as the number one contender for the throne.
Aragon won a split 10-round decision from Carter in a non-title bout here last Aug. 28 to win his shot at the championship.

The combination pheasant and hotel-room hunting season opened Kansas Wednesday with a plentiful supply of birds and a definite lodgings.
I this time California's "golden boy" started fast, attempting to unleash his deadly left-hooking body attack in the early rounds. But, as Carter said later in his dressing room, "I knew Aragon had never gone 15 rounds before, so I let him come to me."
The 24-year-old Aragon, called the "golden boy" because of his box-office drawing power, did just that.
The 1952 season permits shooting in 51 Kansas counties. The shooting started at 9 a.m. Wednesday and was permitted until sundown. No shooting is permitted today, but they can hunt throughout Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The daily bag limit is three cock pheasants and the possession limit is double the daily bag. The fish and game commission has warned that if a hen pheasant is shot accidentally, the hunter's best bet is to leave it where it hit the ground.
Pre-season reports to the commission indicated a heavy pheasant population, especially in northern and central counties. But the wet summer provided plenty of cover.
The going will be tough, and this year the birds are widely scattered. Ordinarily, the dry summers kept the flocks close to streams and low spots to get water. But this year the long-tails have been able to wander the uplands at will and still find water.
Russell county advertised itself as the "Pheasant Capital of Kansas," claiming a vast supply of birds chiefly because the county was passed up by the bulk of the hunters last year.

Chicago—(U.R.)—The nation's colleges overwhelmingly favor drastic limitations on athletic practices to cut down emphasis on intercollegiate spectacles.
Council Favors De-Emphasis
A United Press survey of district reports to the National Collegiate Athletic association's policy-making council showed wide agreement on all but two points of a 12-point program proposed last August to eliminate "intensifying emphasis upon athletics."
The two points on which there was disagreement called for abolition or limitation of off-season practices (football spring practice), and reconsideration of football's free substitution rule, which makes possible the platoon system.
On the free substitution rule more schools favored reconsideration, which could result only in modification of the platoon system, than opposed it.
Even on spring football there was agreement that something must be done either to eliminate or restrict the practices.
The council, it was announced today, will meet here Monday and Tuesday to discuss the district reports and agree upon a program to be presented to the NCAA convention in Cincinnati Jan. 9-12.
A total of only 15 yards was stepped off in penalties in the 1950 Kansas-Oklahoma game. Kansas was penalized 10 yards.
