Gil Dodds Runs Again In Workout at Briggs

Gil Dodds, still the country's top miler, worked out at Briggs Cage yesterday either for exercise, recreation, or perhaps to show Crimson trackmen how it's done. Dodds wasn't just on a sight-seeing tour. He precedes his Wheaton College (Illinois) track team, which he is entering in the annual B.A.A. Games Saturday. Coach Jaakko Mikkola was not particularly awed by Dodds's performance. He noted that the "flying parson" was "out of condition and quite a bit below his usual time."

Mikkola expects to have 18 men sufficiently recovered from the stress and strain of exams to participate in the B.A.A. Games at Boston Garden.

Since injuries and exam pressure caused the Crimson's withdrawal from the Millrose Games in New York last weekend, Saturday's action will be its first since the Knights of Columbus meet January 22.

Pat McCormick, who, like all other Harvard entries, finished second in his event at the K of C meet, will run the high hurdles along with Gil Coville.

When Andy Lockett and Bill Lawrence go down the runway in the pole vault, they will have to hoist themselves higher than Pete Harwood, among other people. Harwood, at present a student at the Business School, won the IC4A pole vault championship in 1946 with a 13 foot, 10 inch jump.

Hamblett May Run

Mikkola has four men, Harvey Thayer, Jonathan Spivak, Roland Gibson, and Charles Harwood from which to pick two entries for the dash event.

Team captain Dave Hamblett and Al Ruby may return to action in the mile relay Saturday if they are sufficiently recovered from the injuries which have bothered them for a month. Other relay nominees are Burton Brown, David Gilbert, McCormick, and Thayer.

The same foursome that provided one of the biggest thrills of the K of C meet when it almost nailed Yale in the freshman mile relay, will probably perform in this event again. They are John Packard, Ronnie Berman, Tom McGrath, and Ed Grutzner.
