To Name U. S. . y.’f' • \ Track Squad In Pan - American NEW YORK (INS) —Artft-rivals Wes Santee of Kansas and Gunnar Nielsen of Denmark take on spoiler Fred Rwyer in the national A. k. U. mile Saturday while the U. S. gets its final line on a team of 30 trackmen to be selected for the Pan-American games. The Pan-American track and field committee is to meet in New York Sunday to name the squad that will represent the U. S. in the quadrennial games in Mexico City March 12-26. The team will bs picked on two considerations: 1 The results of the A. A. U. (Amateur Athletic Union), N. C. A. A. (National Collegiate Athletic Asocial ion) and I. C. A. A. (Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America) outdoor championships last June, and 2 proof of current fitness as demonstrated chiefly in Saturday’s A. A. U. meet at Madison Square Garden. The committee drew up a tentative list of the 30 men with top priority based on the title results last June. Os those. 22 will compete in the 67th annual A. A. U. .extravaganza. Many already have proved their fitness. Santee and armed forces star Dwyer are to be named in the 1.500 meters so it doesn’t much , matter which if either beats or loses to Nielsen. With the top-heavy mile field cut from 14 to five, the winner is sure to smash Gil Dodds’ 11-year-oM meet record of 4:084 and may in fact go for Nielsen's two-week-old world record of 4:03.6. * Should Dwyer win, he'll be the first to put together two major miie triumphs this season. The former Villanova ace let Santee and Nielsen run each other into (Jie ground in last week’s N. Y. A. C. •Baxter miie and then gave them the bum's rush for a 65-yard victory jn 4:06.2. The rest of the field includes Olympic runnerup Bob McMillen and former U. of Chicago star Lawton Lamb., • Others who have virtually clinched their trip’to Mexico City are Mai Whitfield and Arnold Sowell in the 890 meters, Bob Richards in 'fhe pole vault. Jack Davis and i jftrrison Dillard in the hurdles, Jbsh Culbreath in the 400-meter hurdles, Horace Ashenfelter in the 5,000 meters, Herm Wyatt in the high jump and Pary O’Brien in Hua sho'.put.
