tContinued From Preceding Page) "OvIla!"
 1 The new champion is an actor - one of the best the ring has known - and enjoys himself immensely when the throngs pay tribute. One Of his most appealing gestures is the lifting of the right hand at the end of each round to let his op- ponent know that the gong has struck.
 Another appreciated part of De- laneys acting is his habit of com ing to a dead stop after a lively exchange as if to say: Well, why don't you fall down? I hit you hard enough"
 At these times he appears 10 be wide open, yet those who have met him in the ring find it dangerous to attack, for he is only acting.
