Unit of Arc Measure

When the Greeks divided the cir
Gle into $50 degrees, in accordance
with the number of days in the year,
it was also decided that the unit of
arc measure would be called the
degree. The word degree" is from
the medieval Latin ode" plus grad
u.s." meaning "of the step. The
word minute" used In reference to
the division of degree comes from
the Latin "pars minuta prima" and
the term second" from the Latin
"pars minuta secunda."

Fighters learn tricks designed to
influence judges. One of the most
common is to start furry of
punching 30 seconds before the
round ends in hope that the judges
will forget what has happened in
the previous two minutes and a
half. Overlin did that Friday night.
Sitting on opposite sides of the
ring. the judges never can see
punches from the same angle. Nor
can the referee, although he is the
best qualified man to judge what's
going on because he is on top of
the action at all time. The Won
der of it is that the officials agree
as often as they do when fights
are as close as the one between
SOoSe and Overlin.
Your correspondent is not prepared
to offer any workable solution and

isn't any. Unless you can find some

United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, May II CUP) =
The argument RACES on today over
that Ken Overlin- Billy Soose thing,
and all three of your correspond
ent's readers have written in to say
they would like to have a crystal
clear explanation of why it is so
difficult to decide who won prize
fight. So would I.
The situation is so serious that
the New York boxing commiooion
may take action although it is
doubtful that the decision will be
reversed. Soose won the middle
weight championship from Overlin
Friday night because the referee
and judges agreed he had taken a
majority of the Is rounds. But no
two of the three officials agreed
on the precise rounds each fighter
won. Take the seventh round, for
instance. Referee Arthur Donovan
thought Overlin won it; Judge Bill
Healy thought it was even; Judge
Marty Monroe thought Soose won
it. The three officials are men of
experience and integrity, so you
can throw out any talk about a
fix being in.
An overwhelming majority of the
newspapermen at the ringside
thought Overlin won and so did
most of the crowd.
HOW TO JUDGE
To start with, boxing is probably
the most inexact of sports. Golf
Is the most exact-either the ball
drops into the cup or it doesn't.
Anybody can take a look and tell.
But when you start out to judge
between two fighters what stand
ard are you going to use?
How many light left jabS on the
nose does it take to cqualize a
stiff right to the jaw? How much
credit do you give a man for what
is known as forcing the fight
that it, being the aggressor? Does
Q nosebleed or blackeye constitute
the greater punishment? Should
you look at the fighters when the
bout is over and take into consid-
Grafton which is in better physical
condition? How much does a knock
down weigh in determining the
winner?
Those questeions are only part
of the trouble that man lets him
self in for when he sits down TO be
a judge. The judges sit on opposite
sides of the ring and at various
times find themselves staring
squarely at the back of one of the
fighters. If the boys are mixing it
in close it is almost impossible To
see what's going on. For instance
the night Joe Louis knocked out
Red Burman your correspondent
was staring straight into the broad
expanse of Joe's back when the
knockout punch was delivered. Both
