is
British boxing has slumped again with the recent defents of two of its brightest, stars — middleweight Randolph Turpin and featherweight Sammy McCarthy.
The future of Turpin is not yet, known, but many knowledgeable boxing men think he will retire from the ring. If, however, he continues boxing there appears little prospect of him regnining the world title unless he can overcome the many personal problems which affected his training for the Championship bout against Carl "Bobo" Olson in New York last month,

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS:
No Reserves At Future
Olympic Games, Fewer Officials
Paris, Nov. 10.
A four-man sub-committee of the International Olympic Committee, meeting here, proposed today, that in future Olympic Games reserves should not be allowed for individual compétitions.
The committee consisted of Erik Ven Frenckell (Finland), Do Eklund (Sweden), Albert Mayer (Switzerland) and Armand Massard (France).
They met to consider the results of a referendum taken among members of the International Olympic Committee with a view to reducing the number of com petitors and events at the Olympic Games.
