Silver, entering the ring a decided favorite in the betting, was conceded a pre battle edge on Benjamin In box ing. Benjamin, however, disregarded the touted Silvers’ clever defense and waded right into him from tlie open ing gong, piling up points and forcing the local Hebrew to the open and attempting to slug with him. Once during the course of the fight Benjamin knocked Silver down with n heavy right to the chin. Silver took a three count before the gong ■ ime to his alii. Again In the fourth round Sliver was almost upset by an identical blow'. Both men fought furiously through out and both were bleeding from nose and mouth before the fight was half under* way. Benjamin took the first, third, fourth* fifth, sixth, eighth and last rounds. Silver had an advantage In the second and seventh, and the ninth was even. Benjamin knew he could not defeat Silver by standing off and boxing, and kept Silver so crowded tliat the latter not once during tlie contest could show liis touted boxing prowess. Benjamin carried the fight to his opponent throughout, staying in close and playing for the body, wearing down Silver, who had no chance to put tlie full force of his punches into his swings. Benjamin took plenty of hard punches in trying to eome in rinse, hut managed to shake them off, and several times appeared to have Silver on the "go.” ,fcBisf’ Munn Faces Busy Campaign VNSAS CITY.

HowlbFIati Basketball btf Ed. Mather *■ University ^ Michigan Basketball Coach SHOOTING. SHOOTING for the basket is the aim of basket ball of fenlve tactic. Without the ability to ehoot accurately when within tange of the basket, all offen Hive work is wasted. A team unable 10 shoot when within reasonable dis lanee rtf jhe basket is weakened in its choice of tactics, as It must con fine itself to a defensive style of play —taking the under hand instead ot ihe upper hand. It is likewise weak ened In defense, because the cardinal principle that the best defense is * strong offense holds as true In bas ket ball as In other contests. Good •hooting depend* upon accuracy of vision, correct form *nd unremitting practice. A player with » natural "•ye" for the basket, who ia able to hit continually about tha rim, haa an ad vantage alnra form in thia caa* ahouid not be hard to acquire. Many men have their own peculiar atyle of ahootlng and the coach ahouid not attempt to modify thia atyla unlcaa It la radically wrong. If a player makea the team as a Junior, 1 know t hare not time lo change hie atyle. but tf e freah men has a atyle capable of Improve ment, I have three yeara In which to perfect h(e atyle In moat rasea, it le e good rula to let well enough alone.
