shots from the floor in four
games to lead team scoring with
108 points.
Carnevale also believes Clune's
defensive play has improved.
The coach pointed out that he
grabbed IL rebounds in the CO.

He rates Clune zone of the
best all-around scorers in COL

good ball handler, playmaker and
feeder and is valuable on the

Sontee's New Goal Is Running
Faster Than 4-Minute Mile

was a new and strange distance
for his star.
Yves did we'll in two-months
tour of Europe last summer. He
set a new American record for
$500 meters, 3:44.2 at Gothen-
burg, Sweden, and won II of %
races. exclusive of relays. He
was timed in 1:48.9 for $50 and
1892 for 800 meters, although
Nal Whitfield broke the tape
each time.
Santee says European runners
are tough at distances because
of more rugged training condi-
tions. Their up hill and down
work over longer stretches makes
the difference, he explains.
II knew / could run when ]
was in grade school," says San
tee. Coach Allen Murry saw
me loping in a physical ed class
and told me could be a distance
runner. I've tried my best ever
since to prove him right"
Gives Coach Credit.
Santee gives plenty of credit
to Easton, coach at Kansas, for
his rapid development.
Coach really believes in hard
work." he says. when I'm get
ting ready for the mile he puts
me through five-eighth of mile
on Monday followed by a hard
quarter. Tuesday it's two or
three miles and three to eight
continuous quarters. On Wednes-
day and Thursday I do two or
three croSs-country miles and a
bunch of zoos.
Its nice to see the week end
when I can run just couple of
races"
Desire and hard work are nee
essary to be a good distance
man, Santee says.
Desire alone won't do it," he
adds. "A fellow has to work hard
at it, too."
Santee plans to return to the
family ranch after a tour of
service-which may start next
Spring-in the Marines. He's
going to keep on running for q
good many years, he says.

LAWRENCE, Kans., Dec. 25.--
Yves Santee, the Nations greatest
miller. now has his sights on
something faster than the 4
minute mile.
The 21-year-old University of
Kansas senior is looking toward
the day he will run the mile in
1888.
"And I believe I'll hit 1888
one of these days" says Santee.
"Of course, everything will have
to be just right, That means me,
the track and the weather"
Santee thinks he's capable of
running the half mile in 1:48.
He also says he will come close
to world records in the 1000 and
5000 meter runs before he fin
ishes running.
Records Back Up COckiness.
Many consider the slim run
ner from a ranch near Ashland,
Kans.. on the cocky side. But
none doubts his ability. His rec
ords, many of which he pre-
dicted, back up his cockiness.
He set a national collegiate
(NCCA) mile record of 4:06.3 at
the Big Seven meet at Ames.
Iowa, last spring and lowered it
to 4:03.7 at the NCAA meet in
Lincoln, Nebr.. few weeks later.
He was timed in 4:02.4 in the
Compton (CalifD Relays, fastest
ever run by an American any
where.
The world record of 4:01.4 is
held by Sweden's Gunder Haegg.
The 150-pound. 6-foot-1 star
holds the mile and half-mile
Big Seven Conference records.
He has erased just about every
mark set by the great Glenn
Cunningham, also of Kansas, in
the early 1930S.
Santee failed to qualify for the
Olympics in the 5000 meters last
summer after having set an
American mark of 1888 for the

trials at Randall's Island.

Gil suggests adoption on an eX-
perimental basis of a continual
open season on trout and closing
the streams for one year after
stocking of new fish. 1t believes
that a continual season would
tend to relieve the pressure on
trout streams during the first
few days of the season and would
give the fish more time to adjust
and grow so that better fishing
would result.
We can see how this might
work if weather conditions were
propitious throughout the year.

Virginia could support on nat

numbers now planted. And if a
dought hit in as it did last sum-
mer just about the whole stock
ing effort would be lost.
The Council also advocated
closing the wild turkey season
during the deer hunting period
west of the Blue Ridge. In this
We concur, especially if it is de-
sired to maintain and naturally
