BRITAIN'S NEWEST HOPE

IS A HEAVYWEIGHT

BY VERNON, MORGAN

London, Dec. 28,—One of Britain's greatest sporting needs is a Arst class heavyweight boxer capable of win- ning the world crown. Not for 50 years since the days. of Bob Fitzsimmons has a Briton held the world heavy- weight title.

There have been any number of challengers but one and, all have fallen by the wayside. It looks as if Britain's present champion, Bruce Woodcock, is no more than an- other of these and his chances of becoming world cham- pion must now be considered 'remote.
