LAST NIGHT'S BOXING

Honest Endeavour

And Crude Cold Courage

By Our Boxing Reporter

Boxing came back with a bang to the Missions to Seamen last night when the Royal Navy put a team in the ring against the fighters of 74 LAA Regi Royal Artillery.

The reputation of the Missions as a place for thrills was further enhanced, for, although fistic science was almost completely absent, there was enough honest endeavour and crude colà courage to satisfy even the most demanding of boxing followers.
