Don't Boo the Poor Ring Judge,
He's Trying to Pick a Winner

how an AAU judge scores a
fight. He begins by tallylng
points for the fighter who first
takes the offensive. The party
of the second part merely cuts
down the margin until they're
all even, then he starts accumu-
lating a margin OF his own.
Winner of the round automati-
csdly gets 20 points.
The losers score, now pay
attention, is determined this
way: Say the winner had an
edge of IL punches. or marks.
That's divided by three. The
result, 4 points, is subtracted
from 20, giving the loser a total
of l6 points. Total point scores
at the end Of three rounds de-
termines the winner of the
bout.
A clean knockdown auto
matically wins a round for the
man scoring it. The losers
tally depends on how well he
RECEIVERS, but even if he swarms
all over his opponent he can't
win the round unless he squares
that knockdown by getting one
for himself.
In college bouts, the officials
must score blows landed by
each fighter. A winning round
is worth 10 points and the
losers score is a matter Of SIM
pie computation. In dual
meets, when a boys eye is cut
the referee must stop the bout.
If this occurs In the first round,
the result is an automatic draw.
After that, the man ahead on
points wins-even if it was his
eye that was cut. In tourna-
ments, the man ahead when
the fight is halted gets the nod.

Calling for public observance OF
the occasion, Fish and Wlldll1e
Service Director Albert M. Day
states that the problem OF wildllfe
conservation are "as varied ana
changing as the resources we seek
to conserve" "Yet basically, ne
says, "the problem is ever the same;
how to keep the level OF wildlife
populations high enough to satisfy
the demands of modern civiliza-
ton, a civilization which demands
more and more benefits from this
resource, yet which by almost every
act impairs or destroys the con-
ditions that wildlife needs IN order
to survive
Americans look to these Wildllte
resources for many things. In a
broad sense, the wild animals and
birds and the fishes of the inland
waters are great recreatlonal
resource, although large economic
values are involved in the pursuit
of hunting and fishing. The marine
fishes, while affording much in the
way of recreation, primarily are
commercial resource to which we
look for several billion pounds OF
food and related products each
year. Day doubts if there ever has
been time when our country has
consciously demanded more OF
both groups Of wildlife than the
present.
There are many pressures on
widlife besides hunting and fish
ing, pressures exerted by unfa-
vorable environment. Marsh
drainage, admission OF salt water
into fresh water marshes, diver
sions of rivers. pollution of waters
and the general advance OF in
dustrial and urban settlements
into wilderness areas constantly
reduce the amount of land suit
able for wildlife occupancy.
"Our efforts to oppose these un-
favorable influences are contin-
uing without abatement" Day as
serts. "A wide sympathy toward
the conservation philosophy by
our citizens, who investigate for
themselves the relationship be-
tween the wise use of soil, water,
plant life and the national well
fare, will make our task easier"
