Dumas has jumped seven feet or over twice.

Ive jumped against him five times, said Thomas yesterday, Three times last Winter, once in California in 1958 and the other time was at Dayton, Ohio, in 1956 when I was a junior in high school and didnt even know who he wras."

Jim Pollard can use Jim Krebs in a corner now, because he can really hit that push shot from there, and he'll have plenty of board strength with Larry Foust, Felix, Krebs and rookie Rudy LaRusso. Foust is getting along and i Felix gives him protection there for next year. There are things Felix cant do, of course, but if he gets the ball thats most important.
