NEW YORK, June 25.-While Col. Heinie Miller, N.B.A. executive secretary, is advocating the estab- lishment of a 165-pound boxing class, he quotes figures which seem to show that fighters in this divis- ion would be few and far between
 A breakdown in weights of Army inductees, made by the Surgeon Generals office, show that only four percent of the men weigh he- tween 180 and 189 pounds; 2.4 per cent between 190 and l99 and three percent over 200 pounds.
 By contract, 20.9 percent weigh between 40 and l49 pounds, but Miller and the NB.A. are opposed to such things as Junior welter- weights and why pick 1S5 pounds, anyway?
