They are: What has Lasky done in the ring to prove that he's really a promising fighter? Can Dick Daniels return to the physical peak that he knew when battling the best of them, in five weeks of serious training? As to the first question, Lasky's record is absolutely nil. He has hung up a few knockouts at the expense of fighters who never did amount to much, and he has beaten a few more of the same category. Daniels, up to five weeks ago, didn't take the best care of himself.

He let up in his training for a period of months. The sock In hi? right hand disappeared. His legs became wobbly. He didn't "The only man who evr held the Amer ican Amateur ana open nampinnni and British Amateur and Open Championship in one jrear." The announcement by the U.S.G.A. that Francis Ouimet had been appointed captain of this year's Walker Cup team brings up quite a little With the continued cold weather promising suitable ice conditions, play in the outdoor divisions of the park hockey league will continue as scheduled together with the usual one Indoor game at the Arena on Monday night.

The only indoor tilt brings together the Deephavens and McKinnons at 8 o'clock Monday. Tomorrow the Swedish Vikings and Flour City Fuels will clash in a postponed game at Nicollet field at 1:30 o'clock. Wednesday, tn Vikings oppose the Fuels in a regularly scheduled game. Three contests provide the feature of Sunday's play in the Senior 2 outdoor group. Citizens' Club and Marshall Terrace meet at Longfellow; Fruen Mills meet Shady Oaks at Nicollet and Logans oppose the Young Fuels at Pershing field.

The discussion. In the first place, let it be said that respond from a hard punch as he used to. He became easier to hit. All of this can be attributed to his failure to stay in tip top shape. But he's only 21, a youngster who has worked diligently now for the past i ve weeks to get into the "pink." Such an achievement is possible for a young man if he hasn't been pounded around too much in previous matches so that he's softened up to the point where he can't regain his old form.

All of which shows that despite his serious training qf late, Daniels must be classed as a fighter going down and Lasky as an improved prospect cnminir nn Trnp Art lmsn't achieved anv stunninff Chicago, Jan. 16.

Detroit May Climb amount of advantage can be gained in recent years to inspired heights against Lasky because it's one of those "grudge" bouts in which defeat means disgrace in his home town.

As for Lasky, his backers are figuring mainly on his promise he has shown in a few bouts. His courage hasn't been thoroughly tested. He hasn't engaged in a bout of 10 rounds where his opponent has been an experienced warrior who never-loses his aggressiveness until he's counted out on the floor. He will meet such an opponent in Daniels. In short, Daniels hasn't done anything in recent starts to indicate that he has one really good win-ninir fieht left in his system.

In St.

Paul for tonight's indoor exhibition at the St. Paul Auditorium, this court wizard named the first 10 performers now before the public in each class. Take a look at this choices: AMATEURS 1 Cochet, France; 2 Austin, England; 3 Vines, United States; 4 Perry, England; 5 Shields, United States; 6 Borotra, France; 7 Lott, United States; 8 Wood, United States; 9 Mauzel, Czecho Slovakia; 10 Van Ryn, United States. PROFESSIONELS 1 Tinden himself; 2 Nusslein, Germany; 3 Richards, United States; 4 Kozeluh, Czecho Slovakia; 5 Hunter, United States; 6 Burke, France; 7 Kinsey, United States; 8 Plaa, France; 9 Nu-jick, Germany; 10 Pare, United States. His choices clearly indicate that Big Bill doesn't give the United States much, hope to regain the Davis cup next summer.

However, his ratings are based on what they did last year and not on what they will do. Cochet is getting old. He may fold up on short notice. Even if he doesn't, the English threat looms stronger than ever before to make it anything but certain that Uncle Sam will take charge of ths treasured trophy when France steps down from its court throne. France's Olympic team has agreed to adhere to Uncle Sam's prohibition laws.
