IN a paper on colour preference,

Dr. Dreever told the Psychology Section of the British Association that after a long series of practical tests he had ascertained that BLUE is the favourite colour of both men and

women,

This is probably because blue which is possesses intensity,

at the same time reposeful.. Only a few varieties may be really termed cold" the intense rich. tones of DELPHINIUM and ROYAL BLUE give a warm and satisfying effect in furnishing.

If boxers and their managers are anxious to earn money then they must co-operate with, promoters The only way to prove. the financial worth of any fighter is in the pay box. I am continually preaching this gospel.

American promoters realised this years ago. They will not agree to exorbitant guarantees. Matches are made and, the fighters are paid a percentage of the receipts.

How Interest Wanes.

A lot of wise people solved the riddle of Tommy Milligan's senst- tional defeat at the hande of Frank Moody. Some blamed Mickey Walker for breaking Milligan's morale, others suggested that Moody han knocked out the Scot In the gymnasium when they were train- ing together in Americs..

These folk were altogether wrong in their deductions. The real reasons Milligan was so quickly licked was bécause his mind was disturbed by a lover's quarrel. Had his brain been concentrated on the actual fight a different story would have been told;

I am not taking any credit from Moody. He deserved his success over it. The and did not crow Welshman is one of the most modest champions I've met.

The Gloves Controversy. There has been a lot of contro- veray over the attitude of Al Fore- man in insisting upon using the American-made gloves which he has. brought to this country.

He probably has an arrangement with a New York firm to use these as an advertisement. They have been used by him in previous matches at Premierland, but he äld not get away with it at Ilford in
