But sketch a heavy, emphatic underscore of "yet," and consider that professional basketball squads travel zillions of air miles a season.

So the odds are lessening. Then, scrutinize all the rosters of pro clubs, and all the personnel who travel with them. Then, from his track record, focus on the one guy who is most likely to become involved unwittingly in something extraordinarily weird. This of course, narrows the field to me.

Louis Blues announced yesterday that reserve goaltend-er Gary Edwards "has been loaned to San Diego of the Western Hockey League. Edwards, 22, appeared in one St. Louis game this season, a 4-2 loss to Toronto. Prior to that he played two games with the Blues' Kansas City affiliate of the Central Hockey League. Edwards shared the lead in the CHL last season for shutouts with four.

He appeared in 32 Kansas City games, yielding a total of 92 goals. Everything Goes-Goes-Goes! GENERAL GMC, Gophers drill MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -The Minnesota Gophers ran through kicking and punting drills yesterday in tapering off workouts for Saturday's Big Ten football game against Northwestern-in Minneapolis. Gopher Coach Murray War-math was operating with the same lineups which started in Minnesota's 35-8 victory over Iowa last week. Dowling eyes Joe's Jet job By FRANK ECK AP Newsfeatures Sports Editor Brian Dowling of Yale for Joe Namath of the champion Jets? Don't laugh. If any-thing happens to Namath's shaky knees the former Eli quarterback is free to accept the challenge.

Dowilng is playing football with the Bridgeport Jets of the Atlantic Coast League and they are connected with the New York Jets. Dowling wasn't good enough to make the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League. He was in their camp seven weeks. i "There were too many quarterbacks there," says Dowling. "There were four of them ahead of, me.

After a few weeks they moved me to halfback. "1 really didn't get a chance. I'm going to stay around and give myself at least another two years because this year I just didn't satisfy myself that I couldn't make it." When Dowling was cut by the Vikings he was told it would be a waste of time to sit around as a taxi squad member. Minnesota general manager Jim Finks told him about a chance to play for Bridgeport. Dowling accepted the challenge and he is not i obligated to the Vikings be-! cause Bridgeport owns his contract.

Dowling, the 277th (11th round) selection in last winter's pro draft, teaches algebra at Cheshire, in the mornings. In the afternoon he goes to New Haven to help coach the Yale freshmen. In the evening after dining with Yale coaches he reports to 7 o'clock practice at John F. Kennedy Stadium in Bridgeport where the baby Jets play their home games. In three years of football at Yale, Dowling was a legend.

The Eli record was 20-6 when he was the quarterback. Last year's team was unbeaten and tied only by Harvard. One of his 1968 teammates was Calvin Hill who is making it big with the Dallas Cowboys. Playing in the ACFL in places like Rich-, mond, Roanoke, Pottstown, Harrisburg and Hempstead isn't like playing in Dallas, Cleveland or Yankee Stadium, but Hill's success has given Dowling hope for the future. 1408 E.

See HANCOCK iiMnen FRANCISCO GRANDE -Some of baseball's biggest names, and best golfers, tee of today in the start of the Error cost Bears two big points CHICAGO (AP) It's small comfort to the snake -bitten Chicago Bears, but they were deprived of a two-point safety on a controversial play in last Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The Bears now are winless in seven starts, persistently victims of weird plays.

Mark Duncan, National Football League personnel director and former supervisor of officials, told the Chicago Tribune yesterday that officials erred on a Bear kickoff play with the score tied 7-7 in the second quarter of the Bear Viking game in Minnesota Sunday. On the play, Minnesota's Clint Jones muffed the kick-off and then, chasing the ball, kicked it into the Viking end zone where Minnesota recovered. Duncan told sports editor Cooper Rollow of the Tribune the game officials mistakenly enforced a "loose ball foul" rule applicable to a punt. They made the Bears kick off again from the Viking 45 and the ball went into the end zone, giving the Vikings the ball on their 20. Duncan said the officials overlooked a specific rule covering the same situation on a kickoff or a kick following a fair catch.
