Ozzie Cowles, now in his sixth season as basketball coach at Min nesota, formerly coached at Michi gan, Dartmouth,' Elver Falls (Wis.) and Carleton College (Minn.). - His time will stand as the world indoor record for a dirt track. Only Oienn Cunningham's sensational 4:04.4 of 1938 on a board track- exceeds Santee's performance in indoor competition. So now there are three separate indoor mile records: 1. Cunningham, 4:04.4 6i-lap board track. 2. Santee. 4:04.9, eight-lap dirt track. 3. Gil Dodds, 4:05.3, 11-lap board track. Dodds set his record at Madison Souare Garden in 1948. Cunning ham set his at Dartmouth College In a handicap race. Both were on board tracks, but the number of laos varied. Differences in tne conditions oi all three are relevant. We have to list aiem separately because some places don't have board tracks and others don't nave dirt tracks," explained Dan Ferris. secretary-treasurer of the Natlonni Amateur Athletic Union, in New York. ' "We couldn't have one standard wllh the two kinds of tracks." Santee's brilliant performance stole the show from Illinois, the meet winner with seven of the dozen first places and Ai'.'2 points.

This means that, year by year, more and more water must be reserved for irrigation, and less will be available for power and other purposes. Accordingly, Idaho Power's plans for its Hells Canyon area development provide for use of only as much water as will be available after the needs of irrigation have been met. The proposed federal dam, with its contcm plated storage capacity of 3,800,000 acre feet, would either stand partially empty in low water yean, or water to fill it would have to be taken away from the needs of irrigation. . In southern Idaho and eastern Oregon, the nse of water for irrigating farms has always come ahead of the use of water for electric power for. agriculture is the Snake River Valley's most im portant resource. . v Here is the provision protecting irrigation, rights written into water permit applications made by Idaho Power Company to the State of Idaho for the Hells Canyon area projects: t : - - ' ' "The rights herein granted for the use of the teaters . . . are subject to the conditions that the project shall be operated in such manner as tcill not conflict with the future depletion and flow of the teaters of Snake River and its tributaries, or pre vent or interfere with the future upstream diver sion and use of such water for the irrigation of. lands and other beneficial consumptive uses in the Snake River watershed."
