SANTEE'S RECORD FALLS
Ryun turns 3:55.8 mile-fastest this year
By Jack Harrington
Nineteen sixty-six — the year for the young and the old at the 41st Annual Kansas Relays.
Jim Ryun, unbelievable KU freshman miler, won the annual Glenn Cunningham mile event with a time of 3.55.8, the fastest mile run in the world this year.
Ryun broke the 12-year record held by former Kansas miler Wes Santee (1954), and was heartily congratulated by both Santee and Cunningham.
MEANWHILE, BACK at the track, who has won the high school mile event but someone named Glenn Cunningham! Oh, it's G. Cunningham Jr., and his mile
time is 4:22.1, faster than the ol' man ever traveled in high school.

surface was still a little damp, but solid as ever, and B & G continued to steamroll throughout the afternoon, skillfully avoiding runners.
"THE GROUNDS crew did a great job," Ryun said. "I couldn't have asked for a better track or better weather."

Nothing can take the press out of Lee-Prrest slacks
Not that it's on his mind right now. And it needn't be. Those Lee- Prest Leesures can't help but stay crisp and neat. No matter what you put them through. They have a new permanent press. So the crease stays in. The wrinkles stay out. Permanently. And that's without ironing. No touch-ups, either. They're made from Lee's special blend of 50% polyester and 50% combed cotton. For wash and wear...with conviction.
Incidentally, that permanent press is the only change we've made in Leesures. They still have that lean, honest look...smart, tailored fit. New Lee-Prest Leesures. Test their permanent press yourself. It isn't necessary, but it's a great way to spend an evening.From $5.98 to $7.98.
