This Would
Stop 'Goons'
LOS ANGELES i.fl Sax El
liott, Los Angeles State basketball
coach who has come up with nu
merous suggestions on reforms In
the game, has tried out his private
recipe for minimizing the Import
ance of tall players.
His L.A. State team beat an
alumni group Tuesday, 123-109.
The reason for the high score is
found In the players being allowed
to shoot tor either basket. The
only restriction was that they cross
the ceater line 10 seconds after
getting the ball.
A 5 foot, 7 inch player, Emillo
Oonzales, scored 33 points. There
were only 14 fouls called.
Elliott says, this reform would
spell the doont of the "goons," the
towering giants who are fed the
ball for setup shots, and would
curtail the activities of the whistle
blowing officials.

Predicts
Victory
By MURRAY ROSE
1 GREENWOOD LAKE, N. Y. lift-
Paddy DeMarco, a confident chal
lenger, is just hoping that light
weight champion Jimmy Carter
will try to run up his knockout
record in title fights.
Carter has won his last three
championship contests by knock
outs and is a 3-1 favorlteito whip
DeMarco in Madison Square Gar
den Friday night In their 15-round
title fight.
SLOW
"He's slow moving and he aims
to knock you out with his right,"
said the 26-year-old Brooklyn bat
tler as he finished his hard drills
for the title scrap. "I like those
guys who are out to get you with
rights. I can get in there and bang
to the body.
"He'll get hit by right hands,
straight jabs, rights to the body,
left hooks every kind of a punch.
You know what this chance means
to me. You know I've been looking
forward to It a long time. -
"I can beat him. I've seen him."
It was pointed out that Paddy
had scored only seven knockouts
in 80 fights and never had gone
more than 10 rounds. Did he think
he could go the 15 and outpoint

SLIM
"I know the chances are slim
that I'll knock him out,'' be re
plied, "and that I'll have to go
16. Okay, I'll go 16. What's so hard
about that? Many a time I've gone
10 and felt real fresh. I knew I
could have gone 15 just as eas
ily."
Paddy realizes that this is prob-
aoiy nis last cnance ior a title
shot. A real demon for work, he's
trained harder than ever for the
title fight. He's been here more
than a month and can run the
hills around here blindfolded.
