Ellis Boxing still sport Clevelandenny was 2 ars old when he was beaten to dea Denny. former Canadian lightweight champion, died in hospital in Montreal Monday morning without ever recovering front the coma he fell into during a non -title preliminary bout against Gaetan Hart June 20. His death has sparked an uproar in the boxing world, as well as in Ottawa, concerning the safety of the sport. Monday evening. Larry Holmes easily retained his World Boxing council heavy- weight championship by pounding chal- lenger Stott LeDoux. The fight was stopped in the seventh round by the referee when he decided that LeDoux, with his left eye osed arid bleeding, had had enough. Monday was also of Commons approved a motTb asking the government to establish a medical revies. board which would ins estigate the methods used to verify the fitness of bbxers before a fight. . This move was prompted by Denny's death. as were outcries suggesting boxing should be banned in this country. The suggestion of outlawing the sport in Canada_ has raised. a variety .of feelings. although it is not the first time that such an idea has been presented. The thought surfaces nearly every time a fighter dies in the ring. which has occurred more than 300 times in the last 35 years. Boxing is a dangerous. brutal sport. But it is a sport. It is not a mandatory exercise Boxers enter the ring because they want to. that the House • not because someone makes them do it. They fully realize the dangers involved. and must accept them. The chance of being killed is an occupational hazard. as it is with a police officer or a ffre fighter. It is the ugly side of an otherwise popular sport. It is true that the death of boxers is unnecessary. but banning the sport is not the reasonable route to avoiding this. The problem in nearly henry case is that the athletes arp not in proper shape to withstand the beating they receive in the course of a fight. Organizers. sanctioning bodies, trainers and even the boxers themselves are not monitoring the fighters' physical shape. the extent of brain damage incurred during practice and bouts where a knockout does not orcur in particular. A professional fightej is required to have at least one brain scan a year. but that is not enough. Such scans should be made mandatory for the day before a fight. Under present regulations. a fighter could sustain minimal. yet irrepa table, brain damage over the course of several fights. or even when sparring in preparation for a match. without it being detected. This cannot be allowed to continue. Some feel that head gear should be wotn during a fight. However this will only prove to prevent cuts. but will do little to stop injury, according to one professional boxer. Boxing is dangerous, but so are hockey. football. baseball and almost every other sport requiring physical excellence.

TRY A ROUND if you have a friend that golfs get hinito take you for a round to see if the gameis what you expect. I hope. he's a• very patient friend or things could get tense. To start off with r,ent some clubs, get some inexpensive balls and yeti have the equipment you need. ..don't forget some tees. Most golf courses rent equipment for a small fee and green fees during the week are not too expensive. Starting on a small 9 hole course is your best bet and if you go out during the week it.: won't be too busy. Some- times the first few rounds can be rather embarassing and it is worse if the course is crowded and you start hold- ing people up. ff you have never played. before, you really should golf with someone who knows the ropes. Golf like any sport has rules of play and ettiquette that should be observed: Someone with you - who is aware of these rules will help you understand and enjoy golf much better. , Some courses in Britain have a "buddy system" so that when a new golfer takes up the game a club member takes them under their wing for a few weeks. This is a great idea, because the new golfer learns the rules, the ettiquette and also meets other golfers in the process. — YOUR OWN CLUBS After a few rounds, you decide that golf could be a fun way to spend some of your summer time. Now you might consider getting your' crem clubs, and even getting a membership at the course you favor, , Some may wonder what kind of clubs to purchase, what other equipment is needed and where to go to get the best deal. To begin with you will need clubs. a K of C presents cheque • Seamus Doherty.

These places will, Garry various lines of clubs , with a largo price range.. However in most cogs .yok will find that Your golf pro's shop at the course is your best bet. Your professional is dealing with golfas his major' line and not just one of many sports. He is aware ,of what kind of clubs would be -best for you. by combining your ability, your future expect- ations and your budget. He's the best one to shrew you what you need to begin the game. _ - Prices range from very inexpensive clubs to prices that are only of interest to someone making his living at the game. Often your pro will have some good second hand dubs available that might be just what you need to get started. To begin the game most golfers won't need a full set of clubs. A half set will giye you the choices you'll need and if you buy an open stock set, you can always add the other clubs later. This is an advantage you cannot get at most sporting goods stores. In general the clubs sold through a pro shop are better quality and will have a greater resale value if you decide to trade them in on another set later on. -There is more to choosing a set of dubs than meets the eye. Such things as weight, shaft flexibility, length and the lie of the club should be con- sidered, et) it's best to have a knowledgeable. person help you choose. CARRY OR PULL? When purchasing a golf bag you will want to consider the option of carrying or pulling the clubs. Bags vary greatly in size and styles as well as materials. Most people forego leather since it is expensive and requries more care than the new man made materials. Be sure the bag is large enough to carry the clubs without having to 'jam them in. which is damaging to the trips. If you decide to carry them, a light weight bag is a must, but it Should be sturdy enough to take the wear and tear. easy to get Parts if sOmethhilt does go wnprigsPffen people will hue a, cheaper cart Wit by the end of theSOtutlie, wired togetherattd1OokSjike it s'hould be in a musetlin,.

Nothing will be the same again now that you've taken up the game. You have your new weapons so have your • golfing buddies take you out on the course for a crack at the game.

Most light weight carrying bags are not as stiffly structured as other bags and are therefore unsuited to carts, where they sag. ff you are using a cart be sure to get a good stiff hag that will stand up. With a cart you can .use a bigger bag,if you need it and can also invest in a bag with more pockets for other golf equipment. Whichever style of bag you choose. be sure you have ample pockets for balls. tees and possibly some rainwear er a sweater.
