NEEDHAM AND HOPE HEAD ALBERT HALL BILL
"A TRAINER," says Eddie Futch reflectively, "has just got to be a good
psychologist. If you don't have the key to your fighter's mental attitude, you can't
get through."

COLCHESTER lightweight, GRAHAM BURRELL, returned

BRITISH and European welterweight champion John H. Stracey is
making a good recovery in hospital after the appendicitis operation
which caused the postponement of his world title eliminator with
Hedgemon Lewis, scheduled for the Albert Hall on Tuesday last.
"John is doing fine now, but we had a few worries," his manager
Terry Lawless told Boxing News. "The operation was much more
difficult than it would have been normally. John is so fit that his
stomach muscles were like iron, and the incisions were more of a
problem than they would have been in a flabbier person.
"Complications developed after the operation, and for 36 hours
he was running a temperature of 104. It was something to do with
an allergy he developed to plaster.
"He won't be coming home for a few days yet, but he's over the
worst of it now. He was so disappointed about missing the fight
that he was in tears but it was a blessing in disguise. If he'd gone
through with it in his condition, it could have been very serious."
Albert Hall promoter Mike Barrett hopes to stage the fight on his
show on April 29, and he says that tickets purchased for the
cancelled show will be acceptable for his February 11 promotion.

JOHNNY CHESHIRE must be a heartbreak
to handle. When he turned pro
after the 1968 Olympics he had, arguably,
more natural talent than any other
member of the British team — and that's
a hefty claim when you consider that his
team-mates included the likes of Mickey
Carter, Chris Finnegan, Terry Waller,
and John H. Stracey.

THREE Army units in Colchester combined to stage a tournament
in the superb No. I Garrison Gymnasium, as a gesture of thanks to
Colchester A.B.C., for including their boxers on the club's big show
at the town's Youth House last month. A large crowd saw twelve
generally exciting bouts and the overall result was a draw five
bouts each to soldiers and civilians, plus two all-military contests.
