As the illness has an Incubation period of IS to 30 days. Dodds, who never had a head cold even while practicing in freezing temperatures on Boston college's outdoor track, has been "coming down with the sickness" some time. Many other competitors, sports writers and officials of last Satur day's 59th Boston AA games who were In close contact with the paddling parson that night have their fingers crossed.

Basin League Playoff Spots Up This Week Tulelake Flyers Of County Loop Already Cinched The games that will decide what four Klamath Basin Basketball league teams are matched In the league's championship playoff tour. nament come along in both city ana county divisions this week. The tourney Is to be played here In town late this month or early in March, and two teams from each division will try for the cham pionship of the ertire circuit. In the city division the titans are Rlckys Jewelers, chumps last season, and Oregon Woolen. Neither have been beaten in conference play although both have stumbled against the Glenger's Store quintet of Chlloquin in non-league games. The Jewels and Wools will tangle for undisputed first place in the division Wednesday night at Alta mont gymnasium. One or the other should come out with a tourna ment place. OVS IN. Rl'NNIXG Not to be counted out of the city division Is the Oregon Voca tional school outfit which has lost only one game. But the Owls, to get Into the tournament, must beat Link River Motors Wednesday and Oregon Woolen Thursday, a man sized chore. In the county circuit three teams are setting the pace with the un defeated Tulelake Associated Fly ers virtually a cinch to win a playoff bid. The other place will be under dispute Wednesday night at Keno gym when the Dorrls town team has a rendezvous with Glenger's store. Each has lost two contests this season Dorrls to Keno and the Flyers. Glenger's to Merrill VFW and the Flyers so the win ner of tomorrow's tilt should waltz Into the plavoff. GREATLY IMPROVED Dorris fans are pointing to the fact' that the Townles have vastly improved since the season began to indicate that Dorrls should take the Chiloquln outfit, but Chlloquin railbirds are equally as insistent that Glenger's five is the choice because of wins over the top teams in the city division. Dorrls virtually eliminated Mer rill VFW and Bonanza from the running last week with 51-46 and 42-32 victories. The Townles have scheduled an exhibition with the Harlem Tots, traveling negro team, for next Friday. WIL Revives Playoff Set SEATTLE.

I'm locking for something more permanent. I d like to be as sociated in the operation of a major league club."

The mild mentor Is Gordon Hid ings who left Clackamas county to become a star eager at the Uni versity of Oregon and who now worries about the basketball fortunes of Columbia university, one of the largest educational Institutions In the world.

Yes, Ridings is true to the coaches' traditions and frets from buzzer to buzzer. UK'S A WOKKIKK It's this worrying about detail which has helped boost the 30-yeur-old pilot to top rank among the nation's collegiate coaches in lets than two seasons. The tall tutor is a stickler for detail. He scouts every opponent personally If possible and If ho can't make It he hns an assistant look over the opposition. Ills ulavers say the reports they receive have aided considerably In keeping them on tne winning road. Ridings took over the Columbia helm last season and with a big lift from hefty Walt Budko the Lions' slx-foot-flve-lnch center brought the light blue Its first Ivy title since 1S36. The Lions captured the flag with an 11-1 record and wound up the campaign with an overall 15-5 slate. The victory that shot Columbia among the first flight was the 60-53 triumph over Holy Cross' NCAA champions here last Decomber. It not only snapped a 36-game victory run tor Moiy cross but gave the players the feeling that they could go witn tne best of them. TEN MORE LEFT Ten more contests are left on the Columbia schedule, five of them away from home. Nine of them are league tilts, the other being with improving Navy at Annapolis, Feb ruary 28. ine Lions are leading the Iv group with a 3-0 record.
