Kansans Question Bonthron's Right To Share Record
Students Protest Against Proposed Plan to Let Tiger Ace Share World Mark
University of Kansas students were protesting vehemently last night in response to an Associated Press dispatch from New York issued yesterday. The dispatch announced that Bill Bonton, Princeton middle-distance runner, and the University's co-holder of the new 1500 metre indoor world's record, set by Cunningham in the N.A.A.U. meet in Madison Square Garden on Feb. 24.
According to Daniel J. Ferris, secretary-treasurer of the Amatute Athletic Union, the timers clocked both runners in 3:52.2 which broke the old record held by Gene Venze by more than a second. Cunningham breasted the tape ahead of the Tiger flash, however, winning the race.
Farris was quoted as saying that Bonthron would probably share the record with Cunningham, and that little protest would probably be made if such were the case. He said that although Eddie Tolan won over Ralph Metcalf in the 100-meter run of the 1932 Olympic games in Los Angeles that both were credited with the new record set, so close was the race.
Pronounced Margin Shown
Local fans were inclined to believe that Cunningham's victory margin over the Prinetton flash was too pronounced to justify Bonthron's sharing of the record. Three news reels which were featured in Lawrence after the famed race showed the Jayhawkner winning by a good stride.
Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics, said last night that the A.A.U. officials decided to follow such a course that little could be done.
"Cunningham is a good sportsman."
Dr. Allen continued, "and he probably would not register a protest if Bionron were allowed to share the record. Cunningham is not interested in arguing his merits; he is out to prove himself."
"However," he said, "pictures clearly indicated that Cunningham breasted the tape and that his foot was over the line. He was still a full stride behind on the boards."
"If he feels that he has been treated unfairly, he can always go out and win another race. He has not reached his aim, but his ability even yet," said Dr. Allen.

Cunningham recently set a new indoor world's record in the mile run at the Knoxville marathon, culminating away from a picked field in 4.084. Venkze finished second more than 30 yards behind. The indoor time was better than the best outdoor time Bonthon has made.
Dr. Allen pointed out that Princeton officials did not seem eager for Bonton to meet Cunningham again as was evidenced by their refusal to allow the Tiger to compete in the Kansas Relays here on April 21. A special mile event would have been added at that time, and Bonton would have been guaranteed $1000 by the Kansas athletic department.
