Yves Santee. Americas foremost

day angrily drew plans for Q
court suit against the Amateur
Athletic Union which has barred
him from track for life.
The AAU took the drastic
action at its Executive Commit
tee meeting yesterday after
hearing a report by an investi-
eating committee on Santee's
expenses. The committee found
about $500 which. it said. was
average" meaning above the
allotted expenses permitted.
Unless he is backed in the
courts, Santee is through as a
runner. He can be reinstated as
an amateur in other sports but
never again in track.
I'VE plan to ask the courts to
enjoin the AAU from carrying
out Yves suspension" said his
attorney. Charles P. Grimes Of

THE AMATEUR ATHLETIC UNION has put the 4-mnute
mile forever beyond the reach of Yves Santee, who claims
that body action in suspendng him for life is mis-
carriage of justice.

faster than other American has been found guilty Of
accepting expense money far in of the standard

There other questions that Santee poses
his behalf For example is he, he claims, being
singled out for punishment for wrongdong that gen.

I'm all for big housekeeping" he says. But do you
know what that means? real houseceaning? 1t means

EXPENSES VARY, too, according to Santee, depending

$25 to $40 day-$10 to $25 than the AAU allows.
Now if the No 3 miller Smal-colege team goes TO
