front along the Albano-Anzio Axis
with a corps of five divisions, one

other divisions en- the flanks. The

In addition to upsetting the Ger

RACE IN GARDEN
BY HAROLD CLAASEN


NEW YORK, Feb. 26-tRAGi]
Dodds, Boston's student pastor,
whirled II times around the plank
saucer in Madison Square Garden
tonight in 4:08.3 as he once more
failed to break the world indoor
mile mark of 4:07.4 in winning
the National A. A. U. indoor cham
pionship.
Hugging the shoulder of the oval
al the way, Dodds pounded
through the first half mile in 1888
and sprinted right along to hit the
three-quarter mark in 1901.
He had absolutely no competi-
ton after the quarter mile mark
and finished with rs yard edge
over Don Durham of Dartmouth.
Bill Hulse, of New York, led at
the end of the first quarter in
1903 but then dropped behind.
Bob Hume, of the University of
Michigan, finished third with Hulse
fourth.
Dodds' effort, however, did wipe
out the event record of 4:O8
which he set two years ago in
winning the same race.
Again it was a siege of lone
someness that cost Dodds his
world record chances. He needed
61.3 seconds for the final quarter.
The meet got off with an upset
when Les Eisenhart of Columbus,
Ohio, former national collegiate
half mile champion, and John Rox-
borough of Michigan, present Big
len king at the distance. finished
IN that order in the 1000 yard
run ahead of Joseph Nowicki and
John Fulton.
