Monday, Jan. 16, 1956
Scoreboard
P: New York State Athletic Commissioner Julius Helfand won a clear-cut decision in his fight to disband the Boxing Managers Guild (TIME, Dec. 26). James Dougan Norris, president of the International Boxing Club, announced that he could no longer deal with guild managers, and the guild began to come apart at the seams. One after another, managers who wanted to go on making a living in the boxing racket resigned. By playing ball with Helfand, Norris had put himself back in an old and profitable position--once more he is boss of boxing.
P: After a few years of athletic obscurity in the Air Force, Georgetown's Joe Deady began his comeback by running a 3:01.2 three-quarter mile at the Metropolitan A.A.U. championships in Manhattan to beat the official record set in 1940 by the late John Borican.
P: Playing for pay officially for the first time in their college careers, a team of Southern seniors beat their Northern opponents 12-2 in the Senior Bowl football game at Mobile.
