Gil Dodds, ho hasn't been caught
by rival runners since August, 1943,

Dodds will be in the hospital 4t
least a week, possibly longer, '.f
there are no complications, physi
cians told him shortly after his af

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

were In close contact with the
paddling parson that night have
their fingers crossed.
Milt Olsen
Has Opener
Milt Olsen and Bob Cummings,
a pair of good but infrequent per
formers on the local padded canvas,
will be around this coming Friday
night for the opening bout on the
weekly wrestling card. Promoter
Mack Lillard said today.
Olsen, one of the smaller men in
the business, hails from Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, and is a favorite here al
though his size Is always against
him in the ring. Cummings. whose
home is Fort Smith, Ark., but who
better known as a Florida
wrestler, has been on cards several
times here In the past few months
and Is also a good boy.
They will scrap the four-round
opener.
Another four round bout is slated
for the middle of the card, match

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.

P roved the 1948 playing dates yes
terday during their annual winter

ed that the directors had given final
approval to the four-team playoff
after the close of play Labor Day.
The season will open April 16. Each
team will play 154 games.
Trojans Slate
Benefit Scrap
Next Friday night the Sacred
Heart Trojans play a basketball
game at the lair of the Gilchrist
Grizzlies, a game with a double
purpose. Not only is it the finale
of the scheduled league season but
it will be a "March of Dimes"
benefit.
All proceeds will go to the Klam
ath county Infantile paralysis fund.
Last Saturday night the Trojans
accomplished a very satisfactory
non-league victory over the Henley
Hornets, 27-25, at Henley.

CLEVELAND. Feb. 10 (Tv-Hank
Greenberg probably will sign a
player-coach contract with the
Cleveland Indians if the agreement
includes a share In operation of the
club.
The former American league home
run king indicated as much last
night, when he came here as Tribe
Pesident Bill Veeck's guest at "
baseball writers' dinner honoring
Manager Lou Boudreau.
"I haven't signed yet." Hank told
an Interviewer, "and before I take
such a step I want to make sure
that my association won't be Just a
one-year proposition as player
coach. I'm locking for something
more permanent. I d like to be as
sociated in the operation of a major
league club."
Salary apparently hasn't been a
factor in the Veeck-Greenberg
talks because Hank said "the mat
ter of money hasn't even been men
tioned." Another conference is scheduled
today before Greenberg returns to
New York.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 (At-A quiet,
earnest young conch from Mar
quam, Ore. (Pop. 200) Is making this
baskelball-comctous city of 7.000,
000 or so sit up and lake notice.
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.
Since Columbia Is one of the two
major college fives still unbeaten
this season New York U. Is the
other one wouldn't think Ridings
would have much to worry about.
But with each Lion vlstury Co
lumbia has 12 this season and four
straight from the tall end of the
last for a current streak of 16 a
new pleat appears In the ex-Orc-
gonlan's forehead. 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. They meet
Pennsylvania (2-3) here Thursday
and then Journey to Ithaca, N. Y., to
lace Cornell (3-1) for what looms ai
the toughest game left on their pro-
gram.
