They are: Will Santee be per mitted to run, after all? And, if he is, what will happen to any one who runs against him? Wands injunction Set Aside Jay-Ehret Mahoney, attorney for the Amateur Athletic Union, today filed a show cause orde?' in the Appellate Division asking'. to have the injunction against the AAL, granted yesterday, set aside. The injunction, signed by State Supreme Court Justice James McNally, stopped the AAU from enforcing its lifetime sus pension of Santee. Today's legal action was put on the calendar for tomorrow morn ing and if the AAU position is upheld, Santee will not be eligi ble to run in tomorrow night's meet. The Kansan, now a Marine lieu tenant at Quantico, Va., wa s barred from all amateur competi tion on Feb. 19 after a hearing on charges that he had accepted ex cessive expense money. Judge McNally's injunction rendered that suspension ineffective, pend ing a hearing next Friday. Although Judge McNally as sured Santee's prospective rivals that they also were "under the protection of that order" some of them experienced qualms today, in view of earlier warnings from the AAU. It was uncertain tonight how many of them might run if San tee does. Paxton Was a Wrestler Bill Paxton, Penn State tumb ler, launched his career as a gym nast four years ago.
