Mud at Kansas ReIoys
Holds Sontee to ALA

LAWRENCE, Kans., April %
P.-April showers, followed by
a downpour mixed with nail,
washed out another bid by Yves
Santee for a 4-minute mile today.
But skies cleared in time for
four meet records in the 30th
Kansas Relays.
Santee, hol1er Of the American
mile record at 4:00.5, won the
Glenn Cunningham Mile feature
of the meet in 4:11.4 on a sloppy
track while running with and
against a guSty wind that hit
UP to IA miles per~hour. 1t was
his slowest job in months.
The slim runner from Ashland,
Kans.. who completed work for
a degree at Kansas in February,
broke the tape a good so yards
ahead of Ted Wheeler, a Fort
Leonard Wood. Mo-, soldier and
former University of Iowa star.
Santee had a crowd of some
$4,000, and the fans cheered his
every stride. But it wasn't in the
books for him to join John
Landy of Australia and Roger
Bannister of England as con-
querors of the magic 4-minute
mile today.
