NEW YORK. December 4.-There is

Deputy Diagne, Senegalese member of
the French legislature, says he has
positive proof that Sikh was to have
laid down to Carpenter In the fourth
round of the fight that gave Sikh the
crown. The pitiful part Of it is, and

game great joy. that the game has

who win on fouls is step in the
right direction. The commission
hopes to put the rule over at Tues

tirely too much feufing recently. and
the sooner a fighter realizes that his

Like all other games, the most es-
sential factor is the mastery OF the
fundamentals. The most elaborate
system OF offense or defense IS m
validated when some one tumbles

much time on the Fundamentally. An
ill-timed pass. fumbled bail. the
inability to properly change dlrec-
ton, the failure to make an easy
shot. may, at critical moment, cost

The ultimate aim OF the ottense Is
to throw the ball into the oppo-
nent's basket: but before this can
be done the ball must be worked
down the court to position where.
when the shot is made. the PLAYER
has a good chance OF scoring. This
position is gained largely through
passing. Before a team can hope
for success it must be proficient IN

learning to pass most accurately.
