In boxing, as in any other contact sport, close supervision is imperative to avoid unnecessary accidents.

In virtually every high school and college or university in the United States a boy intending to compete in basket­ball or football must have a certificate of physical fitness. The same precaution must be taken for a boy who wishes to box.

Make-shift facilities are to be carefully avoided. A well-padded ring enclosed properly by ropes is an absolute essential. Never permit boys to box where there is a chance of falling to a hard floor or against objects which might injure them. Follow closely the specifications set forth in the N.C.A.A. rule book, which you should obtain and read in detail.

Worn-out or broken-down boxing gloves should never be used, both for the protection of the hands and avoid­ance of unnecessary bruising.

Keep your offense simple. I certainly believe that it is best to do a few things well, than a lot of things poorly. It is also my belief that basketball is a game where the individuals’ skills and habits must be utilized to their fullest capacity. Therefore, I feel that you must not regiment the players too much, but should instill a type of play that will enable them to free lance a bit and not become mechanized slaves to pattern basketball.

My teams always try for the fast break basket. If we succeed in this, then I feel the psychological damage to our opponents in our picking up the cheap basket is much greater than the added two points on the Scoreboard might indicate. If we fail in our fast break attempt, we set up most generally in a single post offense.

I call our offense the continuity offense because the players are continually cutting for and away from the basket. With this type arrangement I have found that the players can utilize their individual talents and still keep good floor balance.

This shows how easily wines the flavor of world-famous liqueurs and other commercial products may be made with the minimum of utensils and labor; indeed, this is probably, if not decidedly, the simplest, the least troublesome and the most rewarding of all adventures into wine-making.

In what are known as T’Noirot Extracts we have a readily prepared ingredient and, as will be seen in the recipes, no preparation is needed, the stuff is ready to use.

You might get a decent imported wine or British wine at seven and six a bottle, but you will never be able to buy wines with the flavour of these world-famous liqueurs at any price, and certainly not for three shillings a bottle all they will cost you to make. Nor will you ever buy Vermouth at less than fifteen shillings a bottle; the Vermouth recipe alone, then, must be worth a fortune to anybody who likes Vermouth.

When making these wines do please use this:
