RICKARD DENIED PERMIT TO STAGE MAT CONTEST One Assemblyman Threatens to Introduce Bill to Stop Glove Shows —Newspaper Men Slighted by Commission, By HENRY L. FARRELL Cnited Frees Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—Denied a license’to stage a wrestling bout in Madison Square Garden, Tex Rickard has called off arrangements he made for a wrestling card on Jan. 3 and will make no further efforts to mix in the grappling game.

Rickard would not comment today on the surprising action of the box ing commission. The commission based its action, it is understood, on the belief there is not enough good material to keep Jack Curley's licensed club going. They Are “After” Tex Reports in political circles that efforts were being launched to “get Rickard" were made significant by the refusal of the commission to allow the Madison Square Garden promoter to extend his field. Complaint was made last summer that Rickard had obtained a monopoly by securing control of Madison Square Garden, the New York Velodrome and the Polo Grounds and by blocking attempts to use the big armories here for boxing. Press Seat Troubles | More than half of the working newspaper men in New York are now barred out of the Garden press box by the ruling of the commission that seats near the Judges on two sides of the ring cannot be occupied. This action has been Interpreted in some political circles as being an attempt to get Rickard "In bajl" with ' ft-.e newspapers as well as to retaliate for the criticisms of the commission by most of the boxing writers. From reliable sources it is understood that at least one Assemblyman is preparing a bill to stop boxing and if such a bill is introduced it will take a hard fight to stop it.

constant practice helps to perfect the teamwork that is so essential. They don’t have to look where they pass the ball. Learn Both Passes Teams should know how to use both the short and the long pass, although the short pass is by far more effective in my estimation, but the long pass can be used to advantage occasionally. Long passes are more easily intercepted, while the short pass is more accurate and sure. Every man on the team should be a good basket shot and should be able to make an effective toss from any position. The ideal shot is to cage the ball from close up. but a shot anywhere within the twenty-five-foot radius ot the basket Is a reasonable one. The game should be played so that the close-up shot is possible. Power From Body A point many players do not realize Is that power comes from the action of the feet and body in perfect co-ordination. Only accurate direction is given the ball by the wrists and hands, but the force behind it should come from the body. Therefore a springy motion Is effective in generating power. The overhand shot is the most effective to my mind. Overhand shooting has proven most suoeosful on our team in turning attempts from the foul line into points, as well as from the floor. So much for offense. Defense Is a negligible factor in

my teams, at least according to spectators. We do not seem to have one. However, I always have contended that the strongest defense is a smashing offense. The team with the ball has the advantage. Our guards don’t wait to guard—they get the ball before the opponents reach their objective, thus leavipg the guarding up to them. The five-man defense is effective, but not good basketball. It weakens your offense and interferes with team growth. None of my teams ever has encountered a five-man defense with Its many variations, which could not be penetrated. The five-man defense slows up games and spoils the spectacle for the crowds. lam against it. Summing all methods of playing, the most effective is to play the ball and not the man. Many fouls are thus eliminated. , Keep your mind on the ball, and your hands off your opponent, and put your heart and soul in the game.

The Shelby boys’ defeat of Martini*, ville was not such a terrible but the decisive manner in which It was accomplished astonished even the home town fans. A score of 46 to 28 against the Artesian City lads is a score that can’t be overlooked. It stands out like a lighthouse In a storm. Hodges In There Shelbyville always has had a power* ful offensive team even with Hodges, the splendid rangy center out of the game. With the big fellow In there they are a distinct threat to any five in the State. Burnett is a sharpshooter from out on the floor and appears to be a heady player who passes well. The Hodges and Burnett duo will make many points this season. The encouraging feature of the contest from the Shelbyville standpoint was a better defense. It has been tha team’s weakness this season, but Friday night the squad with its man-to-man defensive tactics showed better form in this important phase of the pastime. Martinsville Misses At that, Martinsville missed many close-in shots which would have made the count closer if Lady Luck had been with them. The Artesian City team did not look in as good physical condition as Coach Campbell’s squad and one of their best bets was out of the fray. Brown, center, an important cog in Coach Curtis’ team, is on the sidelines \fcith an infected leg. Two of the strongest teams in the State met when Anderson and Bedford tangled in the Stone City. Bedford was returned the victor in a close, heavy-scoring game, 41 to 37. Self of Bedford made eight baskets from the field to lead the scoring, while Williams of Anderson showed the way for his team with five twopointers. Richmond showed Its strength In a decisive victory over Newcastle, 47 to 22. That means Technical High of this city had better be stepping fast tonight when the Richmond five plays here at the Y. M.
