ARCHIE QUICK ON THE HOME BOXING FRONT

The Amateur Ranks

Lose Their Best

The Olympic Games have come and gone, leaving Army amateur boxing, in particular, and British amateur boxing, in general, denuded of its stars. Not unreasonably the top class amateurs have turned their newly won honours to financial profit and never before has there been such a big exodus Into professional ranks.

So far as the Army is concerned, CSMI Paddy Ryan has retired from the game altogether so far as the active side of it is concerned and I hear that this greatest-of-all amateur boxer of this generation contemplates taking a coaching job in his native Cardiff when he leaves the Army Physical Training Corps.

Ho has been « credit to the game and biggest regret is that he missed

SAVOLD WARNED

THE PUBLIC IS PAYING ENOUGH

London, Nov. 25.-Lec Savold started training at Eastbourne today for his 10-round bout with Bruce Woodcock under restric- tions designed to keep him at his cump between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. every day. The American heavy- weight agreed to the res trictions when promoter Jack Solomon-pointed out that Lee Oma's inept show against Woodcock had been attributed to careless ob- servance of training rales.

"The British public, which pays out 10 guinens ($42 for the ringside, has. protested against a repeti- tion of that fiasco," Solo- mon pointed out.

Accordingly Savold was given permission to attend the European middleweight climinator at the Albert Hall next Monday night only on condition ho leaves his camp after 5 p.m., spends the night

at n

regular hotel in London and return to Eastbourne on the 9.46 n.m: train.- United Press.

REACTION

Savold had already agreed not to drive a car, play cards at night or be out after dark.

His manager, Bill Daly, was astonished when the conditions were handed to him at Eastbourne. "We certainly are not going into a concentration comp", he said.

"Savold's personal in- terests and movements are his own concern and no- body else's. He is taking every care of himself. If Savoid wishes to come up to London on Monday, am' not going to stop him." -Reuter.

He will have to improve on his Olympic form, nithough I believe he has the makings of a good heavyweight.

Roderick is giving up all thoughts of a retirement and is after a return contest.
