"What do you regard as the great est improvement m the fight game as you make a comparison with the modern champion and the old timer"
 put that question to kilram in an effort to have him tell me his version as to the progress Of the ring sport,
 "The fight game has become much more scientific and the brutality has almost been wiped out,
 "The adoption of the Marquis Of QueonSbury rules, which called for padded gloves, Was the first move toward a bettotr sport, Bouts of a limited number of rounds also helped
 The use of boxing gloves made for more science, since decisions were based on points scored. In a limited bout it was not necessary to score a knockout 10 win.
 More science and less brutality have been the two greatest factors in putting the fight game on d bet ter basis and making it so popular"
 Framing methods have also ad- Nanced with the coming of the box ing gloves and limited bouts.
 Tn my day when fighter pre- pared for finish bout, lie was put through all kinds of what are now regarded as fool stunts. in order to tougher him for the long battle.
 Instead of having my meat cooked properly, it was believed that eating 1t raw made you all the stronger l wonder now. how I ever did it.
 "To drink water was regarded as crime. It was thought water added nothing hut fat to fighter, Training was to take off fat. so why drink water. The fighter was a1- lowed 10 Garglc his throat with water but must not swallow it.
 That was my hardest joh, 10 Keep from drinking water while training. Often I would sneak a mouthful or two whcn no one was looking
 We used to wear hood of rub- her and flannel over our face while doing or training stunts. It had holes cut in it for the eyes. mouth and nose.
 The idea of this mask was to re- move every ounce of fat from the tace' in order to lessen the bleeding as much as possible when the skin was cut as the result of a blow with the hare knuCklcs
 We even went further in trying to keep our face from being cut and disfigured. After a workout and rub down, We would wash our face in hardening solution for at least a half hour.
