With a stiff 14-mile per hour wind, which has been following him around all spring and thwarting every record effort, Santee finished a good 30-yards ahead of Len Simpson of the San Francisco Olympic club- but found no solace in that.. This race was especially de signed to give Santee a chance at the four-minute mile. He asked for and was given lane number three. Art Dalzell, a former Kansas teammate, ran most of the first three laps in front to break the wind; and a lad named Gene Jones of the Santa Clara Youth Center, ran along Santee's side shouting en couragement. Fernando Ledesma, of USC, finished third and Jim Hunt of San Diego state, fourth. Dalzell and Jones failed to finish. Santee had anticipated perfect weather here and earlier in the week the forecaster had pro mised just that.
