Arch your shot" is the first and
last admonition in basket shooting
accuracy.
Draw an imaginary arc from your
hands to about eighteen inches
above the center of the basket. Aim
at the basket with the ball following
this arc.
When playing the board" strive
to lay the ball against the blackboard
easily. Handle the ball as if it were
an egg. The diagrammed blackboard
aids materially in practice, as the
players soon learn to visualize
shooting lanes"
Basket shooting accuracy requires
the training of the accessory groups
of finger and wrist muscles rather
than the heavier groups. Finesse in
finger and wrist movements is as
essential to the successful basket
ball player as it is to the successful
pianist. The tiniest muscles of
every finger tip should have basket
ball sense"

YOUNG STRIBLING
WINS DECISION
OVER ROSENBERG

Newark, N. j., Jan. Nv. l..
(Young) Stribling. 19-year-oid Geor-
gian high school aspirant for pugilis-
tic honors. battered his way to de-
cisive victory over Dave Rosenberg.
rugged Brooklyn middleweight. this
afternoon in a bristling 12-round bout
tefore a New Years day crowd of
more than 1000 In the First Regiment
Armory.
Dominating the fight from start to
finish with an aggressive, vigorous at
tack, Stribling's triumph was convinc-
ing to the first metropolitan audience
that has seen him in action. No Off
cial decision was rendered under the
New Jersey boxing laws. but newspa-
per critics at the ringside were unan-
imous in giving Stribling their verdict.
A majority credited the southernor
with nine of the IL rounds. giving one
| to Rosenberg and CHASING two as even.
Stribling had Rosenberg in distress
| In at least three rounds. the third,
sixth and 18th, but though he pum-
| meled the former New York state mid
Clcweight champion with slashing
hooks and uppercuts. the Georgian was
| unable to land n finishing blow. Ere
quently the youths inexperience and
over-anxiety cost him opportunities,
while Rosenber an expert shock alb
opponent AT other times.
There was plenty OF rough and tun-
hle battling at close quarters, In which
Rosenberg offset many OF Strbling S
swinging attacks with effective in
lighting. Stribing's chief weapons
were Il left uppercut TO the jaw and
right cross. which often landed with
damaging results. The southerner's
speed. strength and agility were prom
inent factors in his favor. but they
were well matched In stamina and
courage.
Stribling backed up his aggressive
ress with shifty defence. but 1t was
not good enough to entirely check Ro-
scnbergs unceasing body attacks.
The bout. which was the concluding
feature of n holiday card. was some
thing of family affair. PA" Strib-
ling directed his sons campaign, with
Herbert Strihling. a younger brother,
as bucket handler. while MA" Strib-
ling viewed the battle from a seat Just
in back of her sons corner. Freddy
Welsh. former lightweight champion,
Mt whose farm Stribling finished his
training. also assisted in handling the
Georgian. and after the fight the group
was the center of an enthusiastic ring
side demonstration.
Striblihg entered the ring with
fivc-pound ADVANTAGE in weight seal
ing 1854 to 1908 for Rosenberg. Henry
Lewis was the referee.
Asked about her sons plans after
the fight, MA" Stribling seemed more
concerned about his return to school
than future ring engagements.
Were going right back to Macon"
she declared. You know. my boys
