Sontee's Bid Fails
For Record Mile
With 1865 Effort

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 27.-Wes
Santee missed his shot at q
world mark but still came up
with the fastest indoor board
mile run of the season, 4:06.5, in
leading the Kansas JayhawkS
to their third straight Big Seven
indoor track title tonight.
Santee, who set an indoor
mile dirt track record of 4:04.9
at East lansing, Mich, two
weeks ago, was after the indoor
board mark of 4:05.3 by Gill
Dodds in 1888.
The KanSan'S time tonight
bettered his own meet record of
4:O8.3 last year. 1t also pro-
vided the only new record Of the
meet. He won the half mile in
1852, well over his record Of
1:52.5 set last year. He was
without serious competition in
both races.
At that, Santee's mile was one
Of the fasteSt-perhaps the fast
est-anywhere on 12-lap track.
It compared favOrably with his
4:04.2 set in the Sugar Bowl at
New Orleans last New Years
Day, his 4:04.9 at Michigan State
two weeks ago. and even the
4:02.6 unofficial time he set in
the anchor lap Of the Michigan
State relays. The latter was
from a running start.
Santee came back 40 minutes
after the mile to run a compar-
atively slow half-mile-on the
Eantee standard-in 1852.

The reported ultimatum to
Ford was the second time in less

irritation because Ford was not
participating in the drills. AS a

The Ellis, with 19 points. thus
broke Manhattan's four-year
stranglehold on the title, but it
wasn't until the last event-the
one-mile relay - that they
clinched it.
Boston University was second
with 1872 points and Manhat-
tan, which could pick up only
one point in the 2-mile relay,
was third with II.
The Manhattan mile-relay
quartet was one of the Defend
ing champions who found the
going too tough. Princeton
upset the dope by winning in
3:21.5.
Georgetown Man Fifth.
The other 1853 winners who
went down were Paul Ruaden-
bush in the 1000, Bob Keegan

Lerch of Penn State in the pole
vault. AL Thompson of Colum-
bia was the only defending
champion to repeat. He tossed

Georgetown was fifth.
Raudenbush's defeat in the
1000 stunned the crowd of $500
who watched the day-night
Jamboree that attracted hum
dreds of athletes from Al COL
leges. His defeat also led to the
one meet record that was set.
Tom Courtney, a Fordham
senior and anchor man on the
Rams great 2-mile relay team,
ran the distance in 2:l0.9 to
erase the standard of 2:11.7 set

senior from Northeastern, out
sprinted Lew Olive of Army in
the mile to win in 4:2O.l in
another upset. Olive couldn't get
past young Ollen at the end and
in the homestretch gave up the
ghost.
Joe Skutka of Georgetown was
sixth in the mile after winning
the fastest afternoon heat in

Two other Georgetown dis
tance runners failed to score, all
though Frank Pflaging won the
slow section of the 2-mile by
80 yards in 9:439 Bob Lippe-
meier of Georgetown was eighth
