HACG'S RECORD ALSO COULD BE
 RULED OUT
By JOSEPH NOLAN United Press stan COrrespOndent)

Boston, March i4.--(UP)-Dis. tance runner oil Dodds, who gave up his track career for the ministry, said today that if the Amateur Athletic Union wants to get tech- nical about his world indoor mile record, they vii have to change Q lot of other marks on the books.
 Disappointed because Secretary Dan Ferris of the A. A. U. said that his 4:06.4 mark set in Chicago last year would not be allowed, Dodds said that he would have to leave the final decision up to the organi- zatlon's rules committee. Ferris said that the mark, once approved, would be ruled out because the track on which 1t was set lacked @ curbing,
 T don't believe that the lack of a curbing gave me any advantage in setting the record" Dodds said And l think If they take that mark away from me, they will have to go back through the books and rule out Q lot of others on similar grounds"
 DoddS said that he recalled rule that no record would be allowed unless all of the contestants were numbered.
 Well, when Gunder Hagg set a record here two years ago, only two of us In a six or seven man field wore numbers" he said What will they do about things like that2"
 Although the Flying Parson" ap- peared a little wistful over the fact that his decision to conduct a na- tional gospel preaching tour pre- vented him from competing again against his old rival, Hagg, he said he had no intention of re-entering competition.
 II have retired to take up my life work and that Is that" he said, But still like to think l could run a good race against my good Swedish friend. Nevertheless I have no intention of competing against either HGsg or Jimmy Rafferty in the indoor or outdoor season."
 Rafferty, New York Athletic club star, who is unbeaten in the mile competition this season, has Suc- ceeded DoddS as the nations pre- mier miller with six straight vic- tories.
 Dodds, stopping oH at his home here before rejoining his preach ing group at Elizabeth, N. J., worked out yesterday on the Boston college track
 The AA.U. rules committee headed by Paul R. Jordan of In- dianapolis. has indicated that it will settle on Dodd'S mile record at the annual meeting in Decem- Der.
