Club of the Week ST. GEORGE'S
ROWE CANT GET BREAKS, SAYS TRAINER
Lewisham Council's decision not to give Henry Cooper the
Freedom of the Borough has been bitterly criticised by local
residents and the boxing hierarchy this week.
' Mean and ridiculous,' are some of the words used to describe
the local authority's action and members of Bellingham
Community Association in Lewisham are raising a petition
protesting at the coucil's decision.
The Association's secretary Mrs. Lil Wayre said: " Henry
Cooper deserves the honour. We in the Association feel that it
is very mean of the council not to give him it."
Although Cooper was born in Camberwell, he moved to
Bellingham as a child and lived there for 20 years.

UNLIKE SCOTLAND and Ireland in that they seemed to specialise in little guys, Wales
turned out good fighters at every weight, from flyweight to heavy. It was a Welshman
who more than anyone else killed the myth of the horizontal British heavyweight. Tonypandy
Tommy Farr kept half of Britain out of bed that August night in 1937 when he
went against the great American world champion, Brown Bomber Joe Louis, in New
York's Yankee Stadium. All over the country, lights flickered in windows as people huddled
round wireless sets of every description, hanging on every word crackling across
3,000 miles of ocean, as the gallant Welshman made his never-to-be-forgotten stand
against Louis.

FORMER WORLD heavyweight champion Cassius Clay
has begun his last battle against a five-year prison sentence
for evading military service. In an hour-long session
before the U.S. Supreme Court, lawyers for the defence
and for the government argued whether or not the boxer's
Black Muslim beliefs would allow him to fight with
weapons under some circumstances.
