Ind.. shared fifth place The National Boxing association's thinking crew, meeting over the week-end In Philadelphia, have come up with a suggested 33-polut program designed to make the sport of boxing "universally safe" for the par ticipants. The recent wave of ring deaths and Injuries climaxed last week by the death of a 11-vcar-old boy in a Brooklyn school match has set boxing authorities, those of responsibility, to wondering whrre the manly art Is going. Of prime importance and one which should be rigidly adopted in all states and cities. Is the NBA's suggestion that any boxer who suffers six straight setbacks should be Investigated and examined. Too many men and boys who aren't physically fit are allowed to. get Into the ring. Another suggestion and a worthy one takes up the case of a boxer who has received a serious concussion. He should not be allowed to fight again until he has passed a searching examination by a board of physicians. In the event of repeated knockdowns and bad boatings, a boxer should be "retired" told to seek a livelihood elsewhere. Six Weeks Between Clean Kayoes The NBA planners go on to say that an Interval of six weeks should be required before a boxer who has been knocked unconscious would be allowed to fight again, and then onlv on the okav of a ring physician. Jimmy Doyle fought and was killed by the fists of Sugur Ray Robinson only a week after he had been hospitalised for con cussion received in another match. Another suggestion, which may hove some merit but which probably will not become anything other than talk. Is that when a boxer is decked cleanly he be required to take the count of eight, either on the canvas or on his feet. In other words, after a knockdown, activity would not be allowed to commence for a minimum of eight seconds Theory Is that such a rule would prevent a boxer from being assaulted before he has a few moments to shake the cobwebs off his brain. A Little Time For Head-Shaking That latter proposal would, in effect, cause the time-honored "pro tect yourself at all times" admonition to be Junked. A fighter knocked down could gel to his feet at the count of one or two and still hove several seconds to re-orlent himself. However, it would certainly slow up the sport and probably would draw the overwhelming disapproval of fans and fighters alike If a boxer has an advantage it s to his profit to follow It up. If his opponent needs a moment to calm the butterflies In his head he can do It on the canvas. The eight-count suggestion will not get far Frank Stojack. still holder of the Pacific Coast iuninr heawweieht wrestling belt will be back here Keith Vincent and Defending Cham for more action this coming Friday i Pion Joseph Vincent, both of night, but not In a championship Leavenworth.
