A LESSON IN BOXING AS ACTISED BY GIBBONS. ‘We talked to Gibbons last night and found him an intelligent young man, ‘who doesn’t attempt to hide the fact that all he knows about boxing is due to a close study of the subject. + willing and ambitious schoolboy takes to his lessons Gibbons took « scientific . analyzation of the gloved sport. practised the delivery of this blow and He experimentéd with poise and and convinced himself that the movements of the fect are of as much ce to @ boxer as the offensive and defensive motions of the arms. His ideas are a lesson which should prove helpful to any student of the art. Here are some of his tips as he enthusiastically told us: “One of the first things a boxer Jearn regurding the proper to hit ts how to ‘balance him- the delivery Weight evenly balanced on both feet is essential.
