Fighting Gets Outside Ring At London Bout

By ALLAN NICKLESON

Canadian Press Staff Writer

LONDON, Jan. 28—(CP)-—-Flght- ing wasn't confined to the ring when promoters chose a suburban London theatre as a suitable spot for a boxing card.

Unparalleled s c e n c s occurred when crowds outside the theatre fought to get inside-hundreds of them without success-while the crowds inside fought and scramb- led to get upstairs or downstairs to reach their seats. No one anti- ci ated such a turnout of fight fo lowers at such an out-of-t-he- way place.

The house was sold out long be- fore the bouts began and many ticket-holders. including women. were caught in the surging mob which was not dispersed for near-

ly an hour.

Some who saw the feature at-

“ gured that those who didn't were lucky. it. ended in the fourth round when Al Phillips, powerful contende for the Britis featherweight title. was disquali- fied for a low blow and the fight awarded to Dave Crowley. a. vet- eran who to") years ago appeared all wasl..d up.

Crowley's comeback has been r.- mazing. Recently he won tho Southern Area lightweight cham- pionship and is a challenger for the British lightweight ‘tampion- ship which he held in lost to Liverpool's Eric Boon. The piecc-de-resistance of the evening. however. came in an in- terval between bouts when two turkeys were auctioned for c241 and $117.

Pace-Setting

BOSTON, Jam, 28 — (AP) — The pace-setting Montreal Can- adlens gained their cighth straight national hockeg league victory o- ver tha Boston ruins by a A-l ntar~ gin ton ht before a sell-out 13,500 crowd a the Boston Garden. Bill Durnan. the Montreal goalie. was cheated out of a well-deserved shutout by the veteran Bill Cowley with only 34 seconds to go.

The fl ing Frenchmen. who gave the Bru ns an 11-3 shellacking in Montreal last night. won going a- way a ain. They outplayed the home orces by a wide margin in every session and only superb net- minding by Paul Bibeault prevented them rorn running up another top-heavy total.

Ray Getliffe set up Ken Mosdeii for the third and. late ln the fin- ale. Fern Gauthier beat Bibeauit from close-range to end a furious

gang attack. . ‘Just when Durnan. who has yet to give a whitewashing perfor-

mance this season. ‘appeared to have one in his grasp. the canny Cowley after a fancy bit of stick- liandling, flipped a puck through him from six feet out.

The Bruins defense again was weakened by the absence of Dit Clapper, whose back injury lim- ed his services to coaching from the bench.
