Olympic Year Is With Us Once Again

London.

As the hells chimed in the new year, it is a safe guess there were many thousands of sportsmen and sportswomen the world over thinking on sport in 1956 and more particularly, the Olympic Games.

They will be wondering what the coming year has in store for them. The The Champions will be looking to fresh conquests, Gold medals and new records. coming men and women will have as their chief aim a trip to Melbourne, Cortina or Stockholm not only for the fun of the thing but for the honour and glory prized above all of having represented their country in the Olympies.

Don Cockell and Jack Gardner are due to meet early in 1956 for the Heavy. They are weight Championship of Great Britain and the British Empire. stablemates in that they are both managed by Mr John Simpson, but on this occasion he will remain noutral. Cockeli will train ut Eastbourne and Gardner Market Harborough.

"They have sparred hundreds of rounds together," said Mr Simpaon, "but with Cockell's Championship at stake this will be a real fight."

Promoter Jack Solomons is not BO sure. He has in mind the poor showing of a sadly over weight Gardner in his lust fight, and also the feeling that Cockell may be resigned to the fact that this is his last contest. He is going to see that both of them are fighting it by having them weighed beforehand,
