One Worlds Record
And ; Others Quickly
Fall in Texas Relays
BY The Assoeiussd Press

AUSTIN. Tex, Mar 2S.-Four
records, one Of them bettering a
worlds mark. were in the books
and a half dozen more were due
today as the Texas Relays great
est field moved into its final ses-
sion.
Tall. 1.-the Yves Santee, mighty
miller and half f-miler Of the Kan
sas Jayhawks. was the big star
and the man depended on to
give his team its third relay
championship.
Santee yesterday whipped up
a 1:49.4 half mile in anchoring
Kansas to victory in the fastest
sprint medley ever run. The
time. 3:21.8. nipped nine-tenths
of a second from the recognized
worlds record Of 3:22.7 that New
York University hung up at the
Penn Relays in 1850. It battered
the Texas Relays record of 1924
set by Texas in 1941.
Anchor Man Today.
In less than an hour Santee
was running the mile lap of the
distance medley to hsing the
Jayhawks victory in 10:15.7. He
ran a 4:19.2. Today he does the
anchor on the 4-mile relay and
Kansas is expected to set a new
Texas relays record in that.
The mark is 17:20.O and three
members Of the 1852 team that
did 17:04.9 in the Drake relays
Art Dalzell, Lloyd Koby and
Santee-are running today.
The brilhance of Santee and
the Kansas relay runners put in
the shade what would have
ordinarily been a sensational
performance for Darrow Hooper,
Texas ASSM shop putter.
Betters Sc Feet Twice.
The big Aggie, runner-up in
the Olympic games last sum-
mer, twice tipped the l6-pound
ball Sc feet or better yesterday.
His Sc feet 2A inches set a new
Texas relays record. wiping out
Hooper's own mark of 81 feet
7A inches. And he did it in
the preliminaries, meaning he
has another chance today to
swipe at the worlds record of
So feet 101a inches held by Jim
Fuchs.
Another brilliant performance
was the 1851 turned in by
Fredrik Eckhoff of Oklahoma
A61M in the 5000 meters. It
bettered the record of 1910 set
by Don Lash of Indiana in 1897.
The other record set was
3:32.5 sprint medley by the Ok
lahoma AIM freshmen in the
junior college-college freshman
division. This beat by IL seconds
the 1886 set by Oklahoma
A85M last year.

Hopes reaction. He had just fin

that a London columnist had

II wonder who is going to
cash in on this publicity next

some other guy got on the band
wagon. Isn't this the third time
they've taken a crack at Crosby
and me?"
Hope is currently playing to a
7-handicap at Lakeside. Other
interests have interfered with
his golf, but he has played to
a 3 and a 4 handicap.
II played with Crosby at Palm

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Mar. 28.-
Mike Peppe. Ohio States dapper
swimming coach, is living proof
that a fellow can be detected
and elated at the same time.
He was detected because Yale,
with 81 points in the first half
of the 14-event program, has
just about wrapped up the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Asso-
citation swimming crown the
Bucks won a year ago. Ohio. in
second place, has 35 points.
On the championship angle,
Peppe said:
"Just say that Peppe has con-
ceded. The meet is only half
over, but Yale is the new cham
pion." .
The elation came as a result
of record-crashing 2:05.1 per-
>formance in the 200-yard back
stroke last night. by Ohio's
Hawaiian-born Yoshi Oyakawa,
Olympic and defending NCAA
champion.
The islanders feat shipped
more than two seconds off the
intercollegiate (2:07.2) and the
NCAA (2:07.3) records set in
1851 and 1852 by Ohio's Jack
Taylor.
"Yoshi's race was just out Of
this world" Peppe grinned. ''You
see something like that once In
a lifetime. Generally, when
swimming records are broken,
it's by tenths of seconds. but
Yoshi went two seconds faster
than any one in the world has
ever done 1t"
There are no world or Ameri-
can recognized records at the
distance in the backstroke, but
Peppe predicted Sophomore
Oyakawa's feat would find its
way into the record books.

LONDON, Mar. 28.-A sports
writer for one of Britain's big
gest newspapers says Crooner
Bing Crosby and Comedian Bob
Hope should be barred from
taking part in the British Anna
teur golf championship at Hoy
lake in May.
The same applies, Daily Ex-
press Columnist Desmond Hack
EFT said, to various elderly
American business men who
somehow turn up on the entry
list year after year.
Hackett is one of Britain's
most outspoken critics of Amer
lea.
(Crosby is enroute to Eng
land for the tournament, but
Hope said in Hollywood, Calf.
that he is committed to ap-
pear in the annual Celebri-
ties charity tournament in
Washington. Otherwise, he
said, he would have liked to
play in the British Amateur.)
Hackett accused Crosby of
turning the 1850 Amateur at
St. Andrews into a cheap circus
and said Hope made an ass
of himself and a bigger ass of
British golf when he clowned
around in the Amateur at Porth-
cawl two years ago.
"Bing Crosby" Hatchett said,
"is like any other golf-minded
citizen to enter for THE ANA
teur so long as he complies with
the rules which set down plainly
but firmly I am eligible under
conditions of the championship
and have a handicap not ex-
ceeding three strokes
IF Bing Crosby can play to 3
then I am entitled to top billing
at the Palladium.
The Palladium is London's top
variety theater. Turning to Bing's
film sidekick, Hackett added,

Eisenhower Quieted
Ammunition Probe,
Some Senators Feel
BY the Assoeloted Press

Some Senators indicated be-
lief today that President Eisen.
hover has put damper on a
special Senate investigation into
ammunition shortages in Korea.
The President told his news
conference Thursday that the
ammunition supply in Korea now
is perfectly sound. considering
the type of operations going on
there now.
That appeared to line up the
President on the side of the
Pentagon and the Army Chief
Of Staff, Gen. j. Lawton Collins.
in the heated dispute about Ko-
rean ammunition supplies.
Van Fleet Quoted.
The special Senate investiga-
ton resulted from repeated state
ments and testimony by Gen.
James A. Van Fleet, retiring Ko-
rean field commander, that
serious and critical ammunition
shortages existed during his en-
tire % months of service there.
Secretary of the Army Robert
T. Stevens left this morning for
the Far East for a f1rst-hand
study of the Korean ammuni-
ton situation. He expects to
return to the Capital in less
than a week. Accompanying
Mr.. Stevens were about half a
dozen Army officials, including
1t. Gen. w. B. Palmer, assistant
chief of staff for supplies.
In ordering a subcommittee
to continue it's investigation, the
Senate Armed Services Commit
tee said it unanimously agreed
with Gen. Van Fleets claims OF
ammunition shortages.
Senator Margaret Chase Smith,
Republican, of Maine, who will
head this inquiry, declined COM
ment on Gen. Eisenhower's state
ment. But she said she is going
ahead with plans to begin pub
lie hearings Wednesday.
Point to Collins Testimony.
Other Senators called atten-
ton to the testimony of Gen.
Collins, when he said:
1T appears to me that Gen.
Van Fleet feels that he did not
have enough ammunition to do
what he would like to have done.
1T is the point of view of the
people in Washington, who have
the responsibility. that they gave
him all the ammunition that
could be given to him to accom-
plish the job then under way"
The long Senate testimony Of
Gen. Van Fleet made it clear he
is dissatisfied with what he calls
"a sit-doWn war"
Some wondered if Gen. Eisen-
hower's comment-about sup
plies being adequate for opera
tions now under way-might in
dicate that no extensive push
against the Communists or any
major change in strategy is
planned Immediately.
