CLEVELAND. Mar. 16 R.-
His court battle to remain an
amateur continued until Mon

tonight at Cleveland's Arena
against token opposition. He set
q meet record here a year ago.
It will be the third race for
the 23-year-old Marine lieuten-
ant since the Amateur Athletic
Unions Executive Committee
suspended him for life last Feb
ruary 10.
After opening statements in
Supreme Court in New York
yesterday, a recess was declared
until Monday in Santee's effort
to get a permanent injunction
preventing the AAU from en-
forcing its ban. Meanwhile, a
temporary injunction remains in
force. The AAU action accused
Santee of accepting excessive
expenses.
The 4:04.6 time the Kansan
set last year was the best in
the 15-year history of the
Knights of Columbus meet here.
There will be two sections of
the mile here. as there were in
New York and Milwaukee. Other
runners are wary of risking
Olympic-year eligibility by COM
peting against Santee.
Santee probably will run
against Ed Kirk of Lockbourne
Air Base near Columbus and Bill
Taylor, a fellow Marine from
Quantico, Va.
The first section has these
entries: Ted Wheeler, Big Ten
champion from Iowa; Phil Cole
man of the University of Chica-
