OR many years British and
European heavyweight box-
ers have been mainly a glass-
jawed tribe, with an occasional
punching bag like Tommy Farr
thrown in for good measure.

Now the picture seems to
have changed. Closely on the
heels of Swedish champion
Ingemar Johansson’s  sensa-
tional one-round knockout of
Eddie Machen (No. 2 in Ring
ratings) is the surprise deci-
sion gained by England’s Henry
Cooper over Zora Folley, who
had moved into the No. 2
rating after Machen’s defeat.

British promoter Harry (the
’*Oarse) Levene is all set to
arrange a title bout between
his “Enery” and world champ
Floyd Patterson. Perhaps he
should ’old his ’orses. Cooper
isn’t ready for Patterson yet.

New Zealand’s All-Black
team for the 1960 tour of
South Africa will consist of
“all-whites,"”” and Maori tribes
are protesting the selections as
“pandering to South African
government racism.”

ers in New Zealand are Maoris,

but they were deliberately
overlooked by the selection
committee on the ground that
South African Rugby Union
follows an “apartheid” policy.

All-Black teams should be
selected on merit only, said a
combined meeting of tribes of
the Western Bay of Plenty.
If the South African Rugby
Union objects, the tour should

were recently treated to some

crowds at the Hippodrome,
watching pacers and trotters
in action.

Flat racing is also popular in
the Soviet Union, and two Rus-
sian thoroughbreds will com-
pete in the Invitational $100,-

at Laurel Park on November
11. The horses are Garnyr and
Zaryad, one-two finishers in
the Russian Derby last June 27.

How will Russian horses,
ridden by Russian jockeys,
fare against the best from
Europe and the United States?
I couldn’t even guess.
