IN THE BOXING RING
Darcy Hoffman and Doug. Rollinson (holder) meet shortly in Auckland and the light-heavyweighfc title will be at stake. When these boys first met, Rollinson knocked Hoffman in nine rounds, but this time the score should be evened. Hoffman is improving with every bout and will take a lot of beating. • Cri,ics in Engla'nd state that Randolph Turpin, a Negro middleweight, would beat Vince Hawkins if he was allowed to fight for the title, but he is sure to win a Briiish Empire title if and when he gets a match for the title. Bos Murphy is training with Ern Clingham and hopes to get away to England for matches with Vince Hawknis, English middleweight champion. Should Murphy be successful in England he intends to go to America for bouts. A wellknown New Zealand radio personality has given Murphy a page of publicity in the American boxing magazme Ring, so he won't be altogether unknown should he land i'n American rings. Marcel Cerdau, the French Moroccan middleweight, who is getting plenty of publicity in the CJ.S.A. and may even get a shot at the middleweight crown held by Tony Zale, defeated Bert Gilroy (Scotland) just prior to his depar.ture for the States. Gilroy was knocked out in four rounds and the French idol looked good in defeating Gilroy.
