I can thoroughly recommend the following site from the Cowles Library at Drake University containing archives from the Drake Relays. For the moment I'll pull off any of their pictures that I may have already posted until they give me permission.

\There are some great pictures of all the the luminaries of the past and present including Santee, O'Hara, and even Wilt Chamberlain high jumping. George
Beginning our 14th year and 1,200+ postings. A blog for athletes and fans of 20th century Track and Field culled from articles in sports journals of the day, original articles, book reviews, and commentaries from readers who lived and ran and coached in that era. We're equivalent to an Amer. Legion post of Track and Field but without cheap beer. You may contact us directly at irathermediate@gmail.com or write a comment below. George Brose, Courtenay, BC ed.
