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.

four-minute mile it would "have
to be" a young man from Kan
sas named Glenn Cunningham.
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.- '''. " "

Australians take To Horseshoe Game
Sydney (U.R) Every Sun
day afternoon a small group of
Australians can be found on the
banks of the Lane Cove river,
near Sydney, pitching horse
shoes. .
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.

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-
