oOOI lille ICCOl u.
| 1t probably is no mere coinci-
dence that Dodds, now finishing
his theological course at Boston,
has almost definitely decided not
to compete in defense of his mile
record during the impending in
door season, now that Transports
ton arrangements make the visit
Of Haegg uncertain.
Dodds informed Dan Ferris, ma
tional secretary Of h Amateur
Athletic Union, that he had about
decided to concentrate on his final
term studies and that he was
afraid that track appearances
would detract from his school
work.
Previously. when it appeared
that Haegg would be on hand for
the indoor meets. Dodds had been
enthusiastic over the renewal of
competition with the great SWed-
ish runner.
Il certainly am glad that I will
have another chance to run
against Haegg," Dodds said after
the announc ement that they both
had been billed for the major in
door meets.
American fans had been hopeful
that Dodds, now approaching the
top form of his career. would turn
the tables on haegg, who defeated
him consistently when they met in
outdoor competition in Haegg's 1913
tour Of the states.
The mild-mannered Kansas-born
Dodds, who came from the state
which gave America another pre-
mier miller, Glenn Cunningham,
still is in cross-country training,
however, and will be in top shape,
provided he is persuaded to COM
pete at the last minute. matter
which may be simplified if Haegg
can get here.
Dodds, who credits a we'll aim
ed kick in the pants with starting
him on the road to success as a
runner, still gets occasional run
ming instructions by correspon-
dence from his old Nebraska farm
friend, Lloyd Hahn. American L.
800 meter entrent in the 1923 Olym-
pic games.
Dodds, as youngster living on
Nebraska farm, prided himself
on his running ability, until one
day when he made the mistake
of tossing a clod at a passing
farmer motorist. Hahn. the motor
list, enraged because Dodds' aim
was perfect, stopped the car, chas-
ed the youngster half a mile cross
country and gave him the swift
kick when he caught him.
Il guess then 1 was a better
pitcher than runner" Dodds
said. However, he liked my run.
ming and decided to give me some
coaching on it."
Thus after the retired veteran
and Dodds became 'fast friends -
the youngster picked up practical.
~ all he knows about the distance
running business. Hahn gave him
private coaching through his high
school days and Dodds picked up
the Nebraska state two mile prep
school title. Later, when he went
to Boston, Hahn continued to cor.
respond with him, giving him
pointers on his opponents, condi-
tioning himself, and training for a
meet.
Dodds still is proudly criticized
by track form experts because he
saves nothing for final "kick''
in mile events, preferring instead
to run his opponents into the
ground. That technique was per.
feet in last winters campaign
when he won five straight mile
events, but whether it would work
against the canny Haegg was
something that the track fans were
anxious to determine. Now it ap-
pears that they may never find
Iout-at least not this year.

MAG 35 took a thrilling game Of
softball away from the Marine Sta
tlon Thursday night at Ell Centro
Stadium. 1t was am-bang game
and a large crowd saw it. Twice the
bids were backed by a spree of hit
ting seldom if ever seen at the
Stadium tits. The score was 6 to 5.
MAG scored thrice in the first
inning and repeated that number in
the third, but not before the Sta
ton had made it a one score lead in
their half Of the third.
In the wild third the Marines
pounded out two singles, a double
and a homer. In the final spasm
the Station again threatened a hit
spree, but it ended with one single
and one run. MAG was unable to
do a thing in the way Of scoring
after the third.
In the first frame MAG made the
three runs on two walks and an err
ror. The trio of runs in the third
came with walk, an error and one
hlt-the only hit for MAG in the
game.
