the rebound strength of the Jun

Santee Ban
NEW YORK, March 2 ME
The court-ordered returnol Wes
Santee to the Columbian Mile
takes precedence over all other
events in the 37th New York
Knights of Columbus track meet
tomorrow night but today's de
velopments left two big ques
tions unanswered.
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.
