SHOULD “K. 0.” BE BANNED?
INJURIES TO BRAIN By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. LONDON, January 20. A campaign in favour of prohibiting knock-outs in boxing lias followed Ui. Gaardlund’s disclosures in a Swedish medical monthly, which scientifically show that they are injurious to the brain, creating serious lesions within the skull, and causing blood vessels to be torn. The Stockholm correspondent of the “Observer” says that I>r. Gaardlund has been supported by other doctors, one pointing out that every knock-out means concussion of the brain, and may even lead to idiocy. Hexing experts declare that if matches were decided solely on a points basis it would reduce the number of spectators, who always expect a sensational blow.
