ENCLAND'S WHITE
HOPE TO TAKE A
SWING At SKI

PARIS, Oct. 28-(Crusader Serv-
ice) In desperate effort to bolster
up white prestige which has been
almost totally knocked out by the vic
tories OF the Turks over the British
backed Greek Army and the Battling
Skis victory over Carpenter, the
British are pushing forward their lone
white hope" Joe Beckett, on the
chance that he may accidentally sue
cecd where Carpenter so ignobly
failed When II IS remembered that
Beckett, the English white hope has
been used on more than one occasion
as punching bag by Carpenter, the
chances OF his achieving a victory over
Carpenters conqueror would seem TO
be slim indeed But the British sport
ing world, backed by the scnti1.ent OF
impcrialistic circles, is forced to take
the chance on the theory that a knock
out for Beckett can do no further harm
to battered white prestige" while, in
the event OF the unexpected, victory
over sikh would at least bolster up
British prestige in the colonies.
1t will be seen, then, that not the
championship OF Europe alone is at
stake Empires also rest on the issue;
and in view of this Battling Sikh will
have to keep his eyes open and try to
knock out his British opponent in the
FIRST part OF the bout to escape a frame
