 New York, March 2-(U.P.) = Norman Thomas and Huey Long will meet tonight on the rostrum of Mecca Temple in what appears to be one of the most unfair matches since Dempsey and Car pentier.
 MT Thomas is the socialist heavy weight champion of America and said to be one of the soundes thinkers and most persuasive ora tors in the business. He holds de- cisions over many top-fiighters. MT Long Is the Louisiana state light weight titleholder. He has been fighting in and out of Washington for the past several years with varying success.
 In going out of his class, Mir Long Is taking the same gamble as Mickey Walker, Kid Chocolate, and several other of his contemporar- les. Mickey was whale of a mid- dleweight but had his ears pinned back with monotonous regularity by the heavies. The Chocolate drop was the Chocolate dropped when he deserted the featherweight ranks for the bigger class.
 It seems to me, that to make a fair match of the bout, MT Long should be granted hafldicap.
 To-night's bout with Thomas marks MT Longs first appearance in New York since last summer when he was outpointed in a main event at the Sands Point Bath Club. Details of that bout were rather meagre. but 1t is understood that MT Long violated the cardinal priciples of the ring by leading with his right and blocking with his chin. The only favorable criti- cism he received after that engage ment concerned his foot-work. Several of those at the ringside said MT Long moved away from the scene of action with a speed reminescent of Young Griffo at his best.
 Thanks to Mayor T. Semmes Walmsey of New Orleans, MT Long comes down to his debate with MT Thomas in superb physical condi- ton. MT Walmsey, 1t seems, arrived in Washington recently with 0 grievance against MT Long, and vowing to bust him one on sight. Tn running up. and down the cor riders of his hotel lodging the irate burgomatser. MT Long built up great stamina. In timing his de- partures with Mayor Wa1msey's arrlvalb, and his arrivals with the mayors exits, MT Long sharpened his timing to razor edge.

NO FOUL" ORDER
 WITH GAMER AND
 BROUILLARD BOUT

New Haven, March 3-With in- terest soaring sky high. Al Gainer, of New Haven, and Lou Brcuillard of Worcester, Mass, will clash in the 10-round star bout at the Arena here on Monday night, March 5. The bout was postponed from Thursday, March l, by Match maker Al Caroly in order to give state and New England fight fans a chance to attend with the open- of the roads after the blizzard.
 Of added interest in this big bout is the recent. announcement by State Athletic Commissioner Jo- seph H. Lawlor to the effect that the principals in the main event will sign an agreement which prac- tically precludes the possibility of the fight ending on a foul. Part of the agreement reads as follows:
 ''It is expressly understood that the contest Is not to be terminated by a foul as the protector selected by the boxers is in their opinion to be sufficient protection to with stand any so-called low blow or illegal blow which might tempo rarily incapacitate either or both parties"
 Eddie Moore, Bridgeport, south paw middleweight, will clash with Horatio Wilma, of Hartford, in the eight-round semi-final and three other good bouts complete the Arena card for Monday night. March 5.

Providence Reds
 vs Eagles Sunday

New Haven, March 3 = Provi- dence's very able troupe of puck chasers, up in the running for a shot at the Cahadian-American hockey league championship, will invade New Haven on Sunday night fo rthe second game in as many nights.

2 TIPSN ;A) TABLE EnMtTEk1LS
BY JIMMY DONAHUE NEA Service Sports Writer

Most table tennis novices develop a fair forehand game and let 1t go at that. Barkhand efforts to them are merely festures at de- fense, and they rarely ever resort to attacking from the left.
 A good backhand offense is just as essential as a forehand. once an opponent knows your weakness is on the left side of the table, that's where he'll shoot for.

Just as much power can be put behind a background drive as the forehand. To do this. however, the body must turn to the left to a degree where your right shoulder is directly in front of the head. This gives the right arm a full sweep ip. topspin re- turns, and allows 1t to swing freely througf, and under the bail In cut shots.
 The accompanying sketch H. illustrates the turn of the body and how far back the paddle goes be- fore q return cut shot is made.
 A big point in successful back hand shots is the shifting of the feet. Whereas the left foot is feeding in the forehand shot. ,backhand shots are made with the right foot ahead and the left side Of the ody free for a full swing.
