Santee went the distance In 14:36.3 to clip 18.2 seconds off the old NCAA record set by the great Don Lash of Indiana way back in 1936. Santee was not even pressed and finished nine seconds In front of Charles Cappozzoli of Georgetown. George Rhorien of Morgan State and Jamaica, who will be representing the British Empire In the Olympics, won the 400 meter dash but got a good strong argument from OUle Matson, University of San Francisco.

The popular, 34-year-old Holm es, a Brooklyn native who was released as manager of the Braves, May 31, will sign with the Dodgers as soon aa they make room for him on the roster by letting go one of their play ers. Holmes will be used chiefly as a left-handed plnchhltter and outfield reserve. "I feel in good shape," Holmes said at Ebbetts field prior to the Dodgers' doublehcader with the Cincinnati Reds. "I played quite a bit last season and I feel that I can help Brooklyn." It is understood that Holmes had been offered a Job in the Braves' Minor League system, but turned It down In prefer ence to a playing role with the Dodgers. Holmes, who was replaced as Braves manager by Charles Grimm, May 31, Is the second deposed pilot to sign with anoth- Shaw of Columbia in the hop step and Jump, and George Ros ente of California in the Javelin, all stood up Saturday.

L09 Angeles (U.R) The Los Angeles Angels took their straight Pacific Coast league win over Oagland Saturday as they edged the Acorns 7 to 6 In the 10th inning. The Oaks opened strong by piling up a 6 to 4 lead at the end of the fifth frame, but lost an apparent win In the bottom of the ninth when Outfielder John ny Ostrowskl errored to allow two Angels to reach home and knot the-score. The winning runs came in the extra Inning when Max West led off with a triple and was fol lowed by Les Peden and Leon Brinkopf who loaded the sacks on intentional passes, Cal Mc Llsh took over as a runner for West and scored on a single by Jack Hollis. Starting pitcher Bill Ayers went the first five Innings for the Acorns, and led the Oakland plate parade by driving in four runs.

Junus tforos Passes Hogan to Win US Open Tournament Dallas, Tex. (U.R) Burley Julius Boros, a hungry Hungar ian with only one minor victory in three years as a professional, did the impossible Saturday "for Buttons and the b o y" as he caught and passed the great Ben Hogan to win the U. S. Open golf championship. Four strokes behind the famed Hogan as the two final rounds began over Northwood Country club's sun-baked acres, the stolid, unshakeable Boros fulfilled the fairway faith of the cute little wife who died giving him a son less than a year ago by blasting out a 68-71 281 to win Ameri ca's greatest golfing prize. Boros' winning margin was four strokes as Ed (Porky) Oli ver of Lemont, 111., closed fast with a two over par 38-34 72 for 285. That nosed out Hogan by one shot as Bantam Bean had a 38-3674 for 286. Fourth was Johnny Bulla of Verona, Pa., with a 73 for 287 while they were followed by George Fazio of Pine Valley, N. J., with a 75 290; Dick Metz of Maple City, Kans., 291; Tommy Bolt, Durham, N. C, and Lew Worsham, Oakmont, Pa., both 292. Farther back came Sam Snead, playing with a slight touch of pleurisy, at 293 along YMCA Wins Op ening Tiff In Softball Inaugural of the Medford Soft ball association season at the senior high field Friday night was spoiled by rain. The first scheduled contest was halted by rain after five innings and the second game planned was post poned. In the abbreviated contest YMCA topped Eagle Point 7 to 2. Mobilgas and Andy's Jewelers were to have tussled in the other contest. The shortened fracas ended In a bit of a rhubarb and Eagle Pointers indicated that they might formally protest the en counter. Eagle Point had the bases loaded with two men out in the last half of the fifth. The third out came on an Interfer ence charge against the third base coach. YMCA had its biggest inning In the second when four runs crossed on three hits, a walk, a ground out and two errors. One of the raps was a triple by Wil lard Barnum. Eagle Point came back for two runs In the same canto on Wayne Gillaspey's hit, a wild pitch, a walk and two er rors. The Y got three more runs in the fourth Inning on a triple by Don Byeras, double by Ralph Brock, two walks and a flyout. One run scored on an attempted cut-off throw to second base. Next association action at the stadium is on Tuesday. The Cra ter Babes and Eagle Point will vie in a girls' league game and Mobilgas will play Camp White in the men's circuit.

Pacific Highway Easy Parking with Lloyd Mangrum Big Jules, 32-year-old Fair field, Conn., clouter playing out of Mid Pines, N. C, turned pro fessional In 1950 and took a Job at Mid Pines. It was there he met and married little "Buttons" Cosgrove. She was his biggest rooter, a constant and ever-cheering companion, but the only tournament she ever saw Boros win was the 1951 Massachusetts open. . Because through the first two years that was his only tdlumph and "Buttons" died last Septem ber bearing their son. But Big Jules got it for her Saturday in spades. American Women Get Sweep To Take Wightman Trophy Wimbledon, Eng. (U.R) Sweeping through four straight set victories with relentless determination, America's tennis queens completed a 7 to 0 victory Saturday to win the Wightman cup from Britain for the 20th time. The U. S. lost only one set In the seven matches. This was the fifth shutout of the seven postwar meetings. The British have won only four times most recently In 1930, before the present Yank team was out of pigtails. The British have won only four times since the series was inaugurated In 1923. Doris Hart, the slender Wim bledon champion, clinched the cup in Saturday's first match with a 7-5, 6-2, conquest of Jean Walker-Smith since the U. S. had piled up a 3-0 lead Friday in the best-of-seven series. The remainder of Saturday's matches were mere exhibitions, but the Americana did not let that deter their ferocious attack. Maureen Connolly, the 17-year- old San Diego, Calif., American Beros Release Two Pitchers Portland ' (U.R) The Port land Beavers Saturday released two pitchers, one the veteran Vince DeBiasi of Berkeley, Cal., who labored for the Bevos sev en years. The other player lopped from the roster was Larry Cummins, 20-year-old righthander recently released from military service. Cummins made the last road trip with the Portlanders but failed to see action. DeBiasi flashed some of his old-time form during spring training but leaves the Beavers with a 0-4 season record and a lifetime hurling mark of 109 wins and 109 losses. He joined Portland in 1946 after service with Oakland and Wenatchee of the We stern International league. JOINS ASSOCIATION Portland (U.R) The addi tion of the Oregon State league to the roster of the Oregon State Baseball association was an nounced Saturday by Nick Sckavone, O S B A president. Sckavone said the OSL is the eighth league to join the associa tion and gives it a total of 53 teams. He termed the new affil iation a "big step toward unifi cation of all Oregon semi-pro leagues." State league teams are in Salem, Eugene, Albany, Mount Angel and Silverton. at vnur A Stud Nine Plays At Bandon Today The Medford Cheney Studs, seeking to advance up the lad der In the Southwestern Oregon Baseball league take on the Ban don Millers at Bandon this after noon. After last week's play the Studs were in fifth place in the league and Bandon in fourth. Two losses over the week end had dropped the Millers from second spot. The Bandon crew, which was suffering from a dearth of pitching talent, may have remedied the situation by now. This afternoon's mix Is to be broadcast by radio station KYJC starting at 2 p.m. champion who next week goes after the prized Wimbledon crown, smashed Jean Quertier Rlnkel, 9-7, 6-2; Shirley Fry of Akron, O., downed Susan Part ridge, 6-0, 8-6; and Louise Brough of Beverly Hills, Calif., and Miss Connolly finished the sweep with a 6-0, 8-3, doubles victory over Joy Mottram and Patricia Ward. A melancholy crowd of 6,000 including the Duchess of Kent and her daughter Princess Alex andria saw the match. The duchess, a tennis fan, bl-annu-ally presents the big, burnished silver vase to the Americans and she is thus the only Briton who has laid hands on it for 22 years. Yanks Gain Undisputed First Spot New York U.R) Vic Raschi pitched a four-hitter and Yogi Berra and Gene Woodling drove in eight runs between them as theNew York Yankees crushed Cleveland, 11 to 0, and seized undisputed possession of the American League lead Saturday. The lop-sided triumph gave the Yankees a half-game edge over the second-place Red Sox and the same margin over the third place Indians, who now trail Boston by three percentage point. Hopping on starter Early Wynn immediately, the Yankees collected three runs in the first inning when Mickey Mantle and Hank Bauer singled and Berra clouted his eighth homer of the year into the right field stands. Before the game was over, Berra drove in two more runs. Woodling, who drove in three runs, made the score 5 to 0 in the third with his fourth homer of the year that scored Gil Mc Dougald ahead ef him. Raschi struck out eight men in rolling to his sixth victory as the Yank ees clubbed four pitchers for 13 hits. Dead line Sunday Claaaifleda la at noon Saturdaya.
