Jack bemps&’s BOXING SCHOOL: 1 Phil Cardy, right, slips Ray Landis' left jab. DEFENSE: Now you know the punches. The only trouble is that the cther fellow probably knows them too. So you'd better learn something about how to keep his punches from putting you out action. Let’s take the troublesome left jab first. Slapping it aside is the best defense against that jab. You do it with your right hand from the on-guard position, with a snap. You'll find this often sets your opponent up for a counter left. 3 To avoid a left jab by “slipping” you bend the body from the waist to one.side carrying your head over out of the way. The back step is also effective as is the back snap—merely leaning backward from the waist and carrying your head back so that it's out of reach. All {hese motions must be made with lightning like speed, of course, as soon as that jab starts toward you. To get under a left hook remember to bend at the knees, waist, and neck just enough to get under the hook Always be sure you keep your eyes on your opponent and don’t get so far over that you can't see him. It’s important to know how to punch. Its equally important to know how to avoid the other guy’s punches. So practice the tricks In the next, and last one, well take up blocking of in this lesson. punches and feinting. MILLER NORTH AGAIN ! MINER RETURNING H. I. Miller is a passenger aboard W. L.

Subscrie w0 the Daily Empire—the paper with the larges paid circulation Try a classified ad in The Empire Alask ) Few fish were taking the hook 'n Hasselborg yesterday, as reports came out with a group of fishermen who flew back from the Admiralty Island lake with Dean Goodwin. Ap- parently, like the kings in Auk Bay and the steelhead in Peterson Creek, they are too well fed. Some large ones were taken by R. E. Stevenson but they were not so many as there has been before. Tom Selby, who has a five-acre place on Auk Lake, gave warning today to the myriad of fishermen who have stomped through and lit- tered up his land. Selby threatens the planting of land mines or bear traps if fishermen do not use the trail on the property instead of taking off through the brush like a brownie dragging a hundred-pound log. More information about Sheep Creek and a leakage about Nugget Creek was gleaned late yesterday as Max Lewis talked unawares about the love of fly fishing and the art of “nymph” fishing. Lewis claimed he used a tiny Mary Ann almost the size of a gnat, but only after trying worms, eggs, spinners and every- thing in the book. Then came the fly and then came out the fish. Lewis mentioned some- thing about Nugget Creek, but then became close-mouthed. Perhaps worth looking into. In Ketchikan only the other day an unidentified fisherman got his fill of fishing . . . for a while at least. The man was fishing from a small boat just off Pennock Island when he hooked a giant halibut. After a tug of war between the man and the fish, the boat turned turtle, the man was thrown into the water and the fish won the battle. The defeated fisherman was al- THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, MAY 13, 1941, SUSSUSSSUESESUES ) most exhausted when the crew of the gasboat Intrepid picked him up | took him back to his boat to fnd | that the halibut and the boat were still connected, the line having been | tied fast to the skiff. Finally the man landed his catch after almost being drowned doing it. | Baranof Bar operator Art Beaudin claims that the time will be right on Sunday for an excursion to Point Bishop where he says he has a hole picked out'that never fails. "Twas in this same spot that Beaudin hooked his second largest fish in the Derby last year.
