Urge Ruling
On Foul Hits

CHICAGO, April 6.-The Nation
al Basketball Coaches Association
has acted to remove the evils of in
territorial fouling in its only recon-
mendation for rule change in the
present playing code.
The coaches, in the final session
of their three-day convention, sug-
gested that the team fouled be al
lowed the option of free throw or
taking the ball out Of bounds near
est where the foul was committed.
Intentional fouling was used late
in a game by some teams the past
season as a means of gaining pos
session of the ball after free throw
w. S. Chandler of Marquette, re-
firing president, explained this pro-
posal if adopted by the rules-mak-
ing body, would in effect curb in
territorial fouling.

only near the end OF the first half
and late in the game when inten-
tional fouling has occurred most
frequently.
This was the only recommended
change, the general sentiment being
to leave the rules alone.

coach, led a small bloc Of coaches

ARMSTRONG GOT A RAW DEAL
By Lester Rodney (CNA)

Out of the welter of accusations of
"rix," denials and general bad taste
following the second Armstrong-Am-
bers fight, one thing is clear and has
to be said-Armstrong got a bad deal
When two little fighters like Arm
strong and Anlbers lock together for
fifteen bruising rounds of what was al
most toe to toe punching, it's impos-
sible to cleanly and accurately score
the rounds in favor of one or another
The completely contradictory score
cards around the press box and even of
the three judges proved that
Nevertheless, there were very few
who would have given Ambers the
fight without the aid of the five rounds
automatically awarded him by Referee
Donavan for supposed Armstrong
fouls. Donovan's scorecard itself, even
with the five round headstart for Am.
bers, was only and 7 in favor of Lou
! So if it weren't for the rounds taker

ENTIRE ITALIAN DETACH-
MENT CAPTURED IN BAGAUM-
DIR AS ETHIOPIANS FIGHT ON

Paris, September News of the
most serious disaster that has yet be-
fallen Italian armies in the still un-
finished struggle of Ethiopian for ma
tional independence has just leaked
through the strict censorship imposed
from Rome on all news coming from
the East African country.
An Ethiopian guerilla army operat-
ing in the district of Bagaumdir cut off
the entire local Italian force of oc-
cupation and, captured the whole Ital-
ian army staff of the district.
Among the prisoners were General
c. Tosi, Colonel Angelon, Major E.
Piccone and Lieutenants Fantuzzo,
Longlio and Barardinelli. ...-.
Numerius troops, both Italian, in
Guiding Carabineri and native Askaris,
together with additional officers whose
names are not known also fell into the
hands of the Ethiopians.
Fail in Ethiopia Drive
The disaster came as climax to the
campaign in which the fascist forces
not only failed to make any impression
on the Ethiopian troops holding out in
the mountains, but were forced at one
time to retreat as far back as the forti-
fled lines outside Adds Ababa itself.
The base of the Ethiopian warriors
was only 40 miles from the invader
held capital.
Over two-thirds of Ethiopia is to-
day practically free of Italian occupa-
ton. This includes the greatest part
of the provinces of Shoa and Gojam,
and districts of Bagaumdir, Semion
and Ambo, stretching from Adds Aba
ba south towards the mountain lakes.
The administration of justice and
other state functions is carried out in
the name of the exiled Emperor Halle
Selassie, and the only Italian garrisons
are in scattered forts provisioned
principally by aircraft. 1t was in at
tempting to relieve the occupants oi
one of these forts that the fascist de.
tatchment met disaster,
Even within the strongly-held areas
Ethiopian raids make economic life
impossible. Attempts to revive cot
ton and coffe-growing have failed. Tht
railways and roads are frequentl,
made impossible by destruction at tn
hands of armed bands.
The unconquerable spirit of the peo
pie is typified in the statement of Ii
Yohido Yasu, commander of the force
that won the victory in Bagaumdir, i
letter to Halle Selassie:
E 1--WE have taken guns, machine gun
) and rifles from the Italians" he write
f "and henceforth we shall fight thei

Since fighting is rough give and
take business where everything thrown
can't be aimed with a micrometer,
New York State has wisely made a
boxing law saying that fighter can't
win on a foul This put an end to the
type of ham like Painting Phir' Scott,
and ends bad acting such as Max
Schmeling put on against Jack Shark
ey when he "won" the heavyweight
title on the floor from beyond foul
roof protector that no punch can
possibly dent. To the referee is still
given the discretionary power of call
ing a foul and ordering the specific
round awarded to the man who was
lis low.
Donovan worked on the strictest let
ter of that law and used it solely
against Armstrong. Whether or not
Manager Mead's claim of "fix" can be
proved we do not know. We do know
from sitting two rows away from the
ring that Donovan chose to take
rounds away from Armstrong that he
rad clearly won just because the tip
of Henry's glove brushed against Am
bers' trunks in the furious milling
along the ropes Some of the veteran
boxing writers didn't even see any low
punches in two of the rounds he took
away from Henry. In any case, there
is no precedent for the amazing and
arbitrary taking of five rounds away
from fighter in a championship fight.
If this remains unchallenged, the ref
cree can push his over-officiating to
the point where he, and he alone, can
name the winner in any fight, simply
by walking over to the two judges and
saving take it away-foul"
Furthermore, we do know that Don
ovans sudden ruch or orthodoxy was
completely at the expense OF Arm
strong, and that never once did he
even caution Ambers for hitting with
/ the open glove and poking the thumb
in Henrys eyes, repeated ottenses
which left their mark on Henry's face.
Henry didn't say anything about be-
ing jabbed, but Manager Mead did
He was purple with anger-"Ihose
| Tammany gangsters were responsible
for this-I'll talk plenty-the people oi
Harlem will know who these phony
politician gamblers are, too"
Henry had Ambers in bad way in
several rounds, and if he wasn't be-
ginning to lose bit of the magnificent
constant socl>ing power that has made
him the greatest title fighter of al
time, he would have knocked Ambers
out. or at least down. His hands
bothered him some, and the weight
making ordeal has become tough fol-
him. But witha1, he was still goot
enough not to have lost the lightweight
title
The last thing he said from beneath
the -icepack on his lacerated eyes a:
we said so long, was little smile:
I'm still a champion, SO guess
can't take it too hard"
He's still plenty of champion.

AMERICA AND WAR

Europe for weeks has been tremb-
ling in the balance between peace
and war. Anxious hearts have been
asking. "Will the United States en-
ter the bloody whirlpool again."
Some say the democratic countries
will all have to stand together, or
else the dictators will rule the
world. Some say the United States
went over there in 1918 at a tre-
mendous cost of lives and money,
and the net result of our great sac
rifice is that Europe is worse off
than before.
One thing seems fairly clear, that
never again is the United States
likely to send a great army to Eu-
rope. If our country ever mixes in
such a conflict again, its participa-
tion is apt to be a very limited one.
1t might be limited to selling war
supplies to the democratic countries
on favorable terms.
