You know Moike is nearly 40 and he seems to be growing tough in his old age, although he was Always rather timid as a youth. He had been beaten by Stribling, Berlenbach, Loughran and Mickey Walker and knocked out by De- laney. He was badly beaten by Tiger Flowers, although he re- ceived the decision—a verdict, by the way, that still stands as the worst ever handed out in a prize ring. Al in all, Moike was con- sidered “through,” and the fans were glad of it, for no fighter ever annoyed them more.

Many __ a star foulshooter averaged J50 for the season—that is, they caged three out of every four tries they had The rules changed. One man can't shoot all the fouls now. KEach man must be able to attend to such shots that come to his team from fouls committed by opponents. It is asking too much to expect that all five men of a basket ball team shoot ,750 each. It is possible, of course. If your team can shoot somewhere mear that mark it is in- deed a remarkable quintet in foul shooting. To find out how near you are to heing ‘perfect’ practice foul shooting five minutes each morning, five min- utes at noon and five minutes again after school. Then on Saturday well be in trim for a foulshooting tourna- ment extraordinary There are gix little sketches that may help you.
