MedforiTribune 1 SIPCDMTS Boxing Court Fight Looms . New York .(U.R) Rival at torneys for the Justice Depart ment and the International Box ing Club went into training to day for the "big anti-trust fight of the year, which was arranged by the U. S. Supreme Court's "green light" decision. The historic clash is expected to start "some time before July 1,". according to Richard B. O'Donnell, chief of the New York office, Anti-trust Division of the Department of Justice. ' O'Donnell said, "We will try to get into court as soon as pos sible" with the government's anti-trust suit against the Inter national Boxing Club and its as sociates. In Washington Monday, the" Supreme Court opened the road for O'Donnell and his assistants to press their anti-trust suit against the IBC . clubs of New York and Chicago by declaring that professional boxing is sub ject to the anti-trust laws.

Glenn Cunningham never did although in a specially paced mile he was clocked in 4:04.4. And it wasn't until last year that two men finally were able to shatter the four-minute , bar rier. But now they are saying that if "anybody" ever runs a 3:55 mile it will "have ' to , be" a young man from Kansas named Wes Santee. ... . Wes Santee , thinks that this time the prophets will be right. Already the cocky, -young cow boy from Kansas has eclipsed the feats of Cunningham, his boyhood idol. At 22, he figures it is simply a matter of time, whether you look at it in years or seconds. ; '' , ; "According to the experts you hit ' your peak ' at 26," says the lean, stringy young man who al ready has run 4.00.6. : "Well, I won't be 23 until March 25, so I figure to improve, don't I? On thisV basis i I should have- four more, good years." . .. To some that may sound con ceited. To Wes, a headstrong fellow who developed his short, choppy ; stride on his father's 4,000-acre . ranch ; near Ashland, Kan., it's simply facing facts. t "Sure, ; I'm . great," . he grins. "If r don't think so, how can I expect to win?" , j . Wes, who has been smashing records since he ran a 4:02.4 mile in 1953, put the track world in a tizzy last Saturday night at Boston when he set a world indoor mark of 4:03,8. That clipped a second and a half off the 4:05.3 mark posted by Gil Dodds seven years ago. , - Santee wasn't to impressed. He hopes to do 3:57 this year and whether it comes indoors or out doesn't ' make too much difference. Always ahead as a lure is John Landy's world rec ord for the distance. The 6-foot, 1-inch whippet from the West got there a bit late for, a world record. Last May 29 he ran a 4:01.3 mile but 23 days earlier Britain's Roger Bannister had stepped it in 3:59.4 to smash the 4:01.4 standard set nine years earlier by Gunder Hagg of Sweden. Then along came " Australia's John.Landy to lower the mark to 3:58. Santee, who rarely wears any thing but cowboy boots, stepped into a pair of Marine boots short ly . afterwards . and that - tempo rarily checked his designs on. the world standard. He indicated at Boston Sat urday night that he was on the way back for a real shot at Landy's mark as he ripped home in his : indoor record - time af 4:03.8. Now they're saying that he may do four minutes or even better this Saturday nigbi in the Millrose Games. s . But the one to which hes really looking forward is that 3:57 an eventually, that 3:55. A second chance, - this time the soothsayers may be-right, albeit 20 years late.- '''.

But then Danny French and Norm Hubert . took over for the host team and Pac ific moved out in front. French had 26 points and Hubert 25. However, big Don Porter of Linfield walked off with scor ing honors by hitting 32. Bill Machamer, all-stater at Madras high last year, chipped in 15 for Linfield, - ' -- " Boy Adds Baby Boa Constrictor To' Menagerie Elvria, O. (U.R) Mrs. Steve Jarzemba is certainly an un derstanding mother. Her son, Richard Bates, 12, has acquired a4Vi foot baby boa constrictor to add to his me nagerie of a blue racer, 11 tur tles, two guinea pigs and a dog. He has been working on the reptile collection since last sum mer.. All are non-poisonous, but the boa constrictor presents a problem. Or, rather, it . will when it fully matures, since it will then measure at least 12 feet in length. Mrs. Jarzemba accepts her s o n's collecting propensities, feeling a parent should not "in terfere with her children's hobbies."

Until recently, "the members of the new Riverdale Horseshoe Quoits club spent their Sunday afternoons playing golf, garden ing or just in the old Australian pastime of -'. "spine- bashing." Then a few of them went to a children's picnic, and, because adult entertainment is tradition ally non-existent on such occa sions, they started tossing around the hub caps off their cars, i "The Yanks do this," some one commented, but another said horseshoes and not hub caps were used in America. And so it started. One man got "" some worn four- pound horseshoes from a blacksmith and another spent days searching through the city's second tand bookshops for a rule book. When he found it, he also found that the shoes should only be two and a half pounds. Now the club has 19 regulation size shoes. , In their clubhouse, the only one in Australia, they drink their weekly, keg of beer, eat frankfurters, and discuss their plans for expanding the organ ization. The Australians aren't threat ening any American records yet, but they like the sport. Besides it's been' lucky in one instance. Walter- Stevens - and T i m Brown challenged Ray Warman and Alf West to a doubles match. Walter and Tim lost and bought a lottery ticket for the four, of them. A week later, the four some had won $13,500. "Horseshoe quoits is a wonder ful game," said - Walter waving the check. Glider Pilots Find Highways in Sky ; Cambridge, Mass. (U.R) Glider pilots .have discovered their own private highways in the sky. r Scientists say these "high ways" make it possible for the gliders to whip along at 100 miles an hour for distances that range from" 20 to 100 -miles.- . There's only one trouble, ac cording to the Air Force's Cam bridge Research Center. These extra-high highways last only about an hour before deteriorat ing or disappearing. ' The highways are formed by cumulus clouds cauliflower like formajtions caused by rising warm air. The clouds form parallel lines with their axis in the general wind direction. Thus, they make excellent avenues for non-powered air craft. Soaring along on these highways, the glider pilot will find updrafts aplenty . to keep him , aloft and moving - fast. But if a highway does lose its glider- enticing , qualities, there's usually another not too far away, if the pilot will fly cross-wind. The cumulus cloud lines are. spaced about five miles apart, and the highways like- 1 954 Good Year for "r) Illinois Oil Drilling " ' Urbaha, 111. (U.R) John C. Frye, chief of Illinois' geological survey, said reports indicate oil drilling in the state in 1954 was exceeded only by the"peak years of .193941.
