Chicago, Jan. 12.-(AP)-Tommy

crown against Freddie Miller Of Gin
cinnati at the Chicago stadium FRI
day night isn't SO sure of the fruits
of hard work after all.
Paul wound up his drill for the
battle Wednesday by boxing six
rounds with southpaws while Miller
used up the day by loafing around.
Result: Betting odds shifted from
8 to in the champs favor to even
money. Many fans predicted that by
ring time, the Cincinnati left-hand-
er would be slight favorite.
The champions heavy drill two
days before the fight convinced
many that he wasn't in shape yet.
Miller, however, seemed ready al
though he had a pound to knock off

Basketball Problems
BY NAT HOLMAN
Star Player, Coach and Author Of
swimming Basketball'

Question-Would you correct or
change the improper shooting form
Of . player even though his scoring
average was good?
Answer-That would depend al
most entirely on the time remaining
to make the change. If we were five
or six weeks away from our first
game, would probably think it adj
visable, but I would never undertake
such Job once the season was un-
der way. Added to that, there is also
the matter Of his number of available
playing seasons: there is more rea-
son to make such corrections on a
sophomore than there would be on a
senior.
However, granting that the neces-
sary time and reasons for making the
change are present, I believe that
constant practice of proper shooting
form will bring better results.

VALLEY CITY IN TROUBLE
Demons Will Meet Braves For
First Time This Year Next
Wednesday

With two months Of pre.tourna-
ment play remaining, North Dakota's
high school basketball coaches are
putting forth concerted effort to
polish team-play for the annual state
basketball tournament here March II
and IL.
"Warm-up" Tits have comprised
most Of the competition for the big
eight teams in class A although
jamestown met Fargo in one game
which saw the Blue Jays shatter the
Midgets' record Of 81 consecutive
wins over period of three years.
Fargo, defending state champion,
started new string of victories last
week by defeating Casselton.
The states eight major prep school
quints this year are banded into q
separate class. Other schools COM
pete In class B. The b tournament
is set for Valley City March Is and
rs.
Although comparative strength can
not be judged until regular SEIZED.
ules bring the major teams together,
early season engagements indicate
Jamestown and Devils Lake have an
edge as contenders for the state
crown.
-Four class B outfits have exercised
their right to challenge A teams and
the possibility exists that the play
offs may be upsets, allowing the
smaller schools to enter the class A
tourney. They are Wahpeton and
Hankinson who challenged Fargo:
Enderlin in the Valley City. district
and Williston in the Minot district.
Fargo faces the biggest threat from
B teams and must defeat both Wah-
peton and Hankinson before entering
the tournament. Wahpeton probably
will give Fargo q battle, but the Far
goans are favored to win over Han
kinson easily.
Valley Citys right to play In the
major tourney also is in a precarious
position since the Hi-Liners, working
without letterman, have been chal-
lenged by Enderlin's aggregation
which already has defeated Valley
City this season.
Close lines are expected to be
drawn at tournament time. Grand
Forks promises to present an out
standing team. Bismarck, Minot and
Mandan all possess teams Of no mean
ability.
Some indication of comparative
strength is expected to be shown Sat-
urday when Mandan meets James,
town. Games between Minot and
Williston, Valley City and Crosby
1ronton, Fargo and Wahpeton, and
Devils Lake and Rugby are scheduled
Friday.
Bismarck will face Mandan in the
first Of their pre-tournament home
and-home game arrangement at the
state training school gymnasium IN
Mandan next Wednesday evening.

Ray Mangrum Cracks Par B.
Three Strokes Despite

R)-Ray Mangrum, q rangy golfer
from Texas, held q one-stroke lead rs
the field of 127 golfers turned into the
second round Of the Aqua Caliente
$500 open Thursday.
Mangrum shot q remarkable round
Of $500, three strokes under par,
over tough course under conditions
which veteran observers felt certain
would force high scores.
In second place breezed Archie

It was an eagle on the 550-yard

BY JAMES (BINGO) BROWN
(President, National Boxing Associ-

BY JAMES (BINGO) BROWN
president. National Boxing Associ-
ation)
Lansing, Mich, Jan. 12.-R-The
year 1888 may bring boxing back out
Of the doldrun1s II certain things hap
pen.
First Of all, people who are pro-
noting boxing matches, fighters as
we'll as managers, must realize that
the day Of the high priced gate has
gone and that prices must come down
II the sport Is going to prosper AMI
hold its own. A common working
man loves boxing contest as well as
the banker, the lawyer or the doctor,
but his earnings have been cut to
such an extent that he no longer can
pay the high prices demanded for
tickets. The result Is that attendance
has fallen to great degree.
I feel that q championship boxing
match should have the same price
scale as fine football contest or
worlds championship baseball con-
test. II match-makers are careful
with their attractions, there Is no rea-
son why boxing shouldn't have a good
year, but the public demands good at
fractions.
The public also still loves the hero
worship type Of fighter and perhaps
we will have the hero emerge out Of
the Schmeling- Baer contest that is
to be promoted by that great Amer
lean hero, Jack Dempsey. I feel that
Dempsey has fine attraction in the
Granddaughter contest and 1t will be
q fight worth travelling miles to see,
but Mr.. Dempsey must realize that
the day Of the million dollar gate has
disappeared and the public must
have the opportunity to buy a ticket
at fair price because, after all, we
cannot 60 very far without the pat
ronage of good old John Public.
I feel that champions should de-
fend their titles more often II we are
going to keep the game alive. Every
time man wins title he announces
within "a hours that he Is going to
be fighting champion, but he almost
always travels the path Of his pre-
decessors and goes into hiding with
the result that interest Lays becaMe
Of lack Of competitors. I feel that a
boxer Of the type Of Kid Chocolate
could box at least once week against
good stiff competition and never feel
the effects Of 1t. A fighter Of the
type Of Tony Canzoneri Is another
champion who could come out of hid
ing and defend his title more often.
Amateur boxing has made great
strides In America and If handled
correctly. it certainly has its place In
the boxing world.
I feel that II. these principles that
I have mentioned above are followed,
that boxing will come out of its dol
drums and be on the upper swing in
the year Of 1888.
