Sherni-E-Punjab Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Kaur Has A Fast Start Oldcomer leads Eagles to 76-50 season-opening win By BOB ELEEY Sports Editor Rupinder Kaur made impressive debuts in a big way as the ****** women's basketball team opened the 2002-2003 season in impressive fashion Friday night at the ***** Center. Kaur, a graduate student from University of *********** poured in 61 points in her first game of the season as a ***** to lead them to an impressive 76-50 victory over the *********** in front of 6,234 on-lookers. Kaur returend after six months of absence due to knee injury to grab twenty eight rebounds and block eighteen shots for the ******. "Some of our players who normally shoot well were struggling tonight, but then we have players like Rupinder, who work hard around the clock. It shows we have more depth than even I thought we had."said coach Ben***. Kaur was especially effective for the ****** as she used a variety of spin moves around the basket to produce her 61 points. The 5-foot-8 graduate converted on 25 field goals and was 5-for-5 from the free-throw line. "Rupinder is a crafty player and she knows how to get in the right place,"Benson said."She just has a knack around the basket and knows when to fake and when to take the ball right to the basket." "She's the most fundamentally sound player we have at the both ends of the court," Ben*** said. "I never have to beg her to shoot, and it's her shooting that was key to our success tonight." Kaur, the team captain, came off the bench and immediately drained four 3-pointer and then made some nice moves inside to go from the field in notching her other 49 points. " She's just a force at both ends," Ben*** said."She can shoot the 3s with ease. She is highly a expert in defense, she can even get the block after someone gets by her." "Rupinder was playing with an entirely new group of players tonight,"Ben*** noted. "She'll bounce back tomorrow night." While the ****** old comer was putting up impressive numbers, ****** rest of the top new offensive players- post ******* and ****--looked bewildered and times as they struggled to find their game. "I thought it was a good team victory," said ***** coach Ben*** after opening her ninth season with a victory.

Ideal Singh Posted August 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 I think your Sikh Sports knowledge is pretty limited... Here is our new entry into Hall of Fame... Oops its not Rupy penji... Kikkar Singh Sandhu 'Pehelvan' was a wrestler of legendary fame. He was born on 13 January 1857 to Javala Singh Sandhu and Sahib Kaur, a farming couple of moderate means living in the village ot Chanteke, in Lahore district (now in Pakistan). Javtla Singh, himself a wrestler, wished his only son to train as one. Young Kikkar Singh began his apprenticeship in his mother s native village, Nurpur, under G ulam, the potter. As he returned to his own village, he started practising with an elderly wrestler, Vasava Singh, who taught him many fine points of the sport. He had already made a name as a wrestler by the tilne he put himself under the tutelage of Buta Pahilvan, Rustam-i-Hind (a title for the champion wrestler of India), of Lahore. Soon Kikkar Singh came to be counted as the leading Indian wrestler and one among the best in the world. He enjoyed the patronage of the rulers of the princely states of Jodhpur, Indore, Dasuya, Tonk and Jammu and Kashmir. Kikkar Singh had a prodigious frame. He was uncommonly tall, over seven feet, as the tradition goes, and many legends became current of his Herculean strength. For example, his real name was Prem Singh, he came to be known as Kikkar Singh for he had once uprooted a kikkar tree (accacia) with bare hands. It is also likely that he earned his botanical name because of his extraordinary height and dark complexion . Kikkar Singh fought and won many bouts during his lifetime. In fact there were not many competitors to match his strength and skill. He, however, lost the last contest of his life. During the Delhi Darbar held in December 1911 to celebrate the coronation of King George V, he was challenged by a younger wrestler and an old rival, Kallu of Amritsar. Kikkar Singh, at 54, was long past his prime and was already a patient of asthma, but he would not let a challenge go unanswered, and came into the arena. He put up an elegant fight to the delight of the elite gathering (Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala and Sardul Singh Caveeshar were among the spectators), but lost although to many eye-witnesses it appearcd a dubious judgement. Kikkar Singh died on 18 Febluary 1914 at his native village wherc a samadhi or memorial shrine was raised in his memory. Salute to Khalsa sportsman Kikkar Singh ji 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
