If you a r e in the first four pay grades, you can now make appli-cation for recrui t ing duty. OR. if you don't have these s t r ipes and want to get around a little before set t l ing down a t home, read on mates .

Buck se rgean ts and above may request recrui t ing duty If they have not been convicted on a court mar t ia l offense du r ing the i r pre-sent cruise . They mus t also have had two years of high school, its equivalent, or cler ical ery^riouce in the Corps with at least th ree years of service in the Corps be-hind them. P a r t of the t ime in the Corps m u s t have been spent out-side the Continental US. Besides being soldierly in bearing, neat in appearance , and a " representa t ive j type of Marine," anyone wishing | to apply mus t have two years to !

serve on thei r cu r ren t enl i s tment or the enl i s tment extended for this ; duty .

SCREAMING AND BUBBLING AT COMBAT POOL NO. TWO

If you awake some morn ing with the thought in mind that you've just had some sort of horr ib le , yet funny, n igh tmare , and said " incubus" looked something like the following word descr ipt ion, it was no night-mare you've been to Combat Tra in ing Pool No. 2

Are the boxers of today growing so f t e r? . . . Do they throw hart? punches? Or is it because everyone today th inks he can box ami th'.s increase in the number of fighters, the r ing casua l t ies a r e mo~. ing? . . . To date four g lad ia tors have died f rom in jur ies suffered in:* r ing, last year a total of 11 succumbed. . . . With the recent death* J immy Doyle in his bout with Sugar Robinson, boxing commissio:-and t r a ine r s a r e now giving th is ser ious thought . Many old time £x; m a n a g e r s and t r a i n e r s a re of the opinion too many of today 's glai^ tors t ra in on beer and toughen up in night-clubs. . . . Take the a* of a few of the o ld t imers who prepared for weeks on end for any bo: . . . Road work was for toughening up and wind condit ioning thet^. stead of being for p ic tures as it is now used. . . . Spa r r ing partner? day a re jus t ano ther punching bag while o ld t imers called them "sparr -j t c ache r s " with the idea to learn defense. . . . With the coming of ti "Manassa Mauler ." Jack Dempsey. fighters today consider the knotj out as the main objective. . . . This has lead to the accent on p o v hi t t ing with l i t t le emphas i s on guarding, par ry ing and blockinc. This na tu ra l ly leads to m a j o r damage when a boxer with a weak : fense meets a power-puncher who cau throw the ha rd one accura:-. and with resul t s . . . . The sudden rise in the number of ama teu r bo; and the Golden Gloves also figure in the mor ta l i ty rise. . . . It also gir. many of the " s imon-pures" a fa lse outlook caus ing a j u m p into j-fessional r a n k s too soon. . . . Amateur bouts call for th ree rounds o* and usual ly winds up into a wild swing al l -out affa i r . . . . All cautio: th rown to the wind. . . . The fa ta l i ty of Doyle could have been avoid* he had been badly hur t in a previous fight and should have been k? away f rom the r ing for 15 months . . . . His was a head in jury and • him wide open for the terr i f ic glove-swinger that Sugar Robinson . . . Such things happened 40 years ago too. t ake the case of 21 year H a r r y Tenny. . . . A f t e r a sensa t ional year in which young Tenny kno cd out 3S of 48 foes he fought a 25 rounder with the fo rmer banu champion F rank ie Neil. . . . Neil was given a close decision and it li Tenny up for seven months . . . . His next opponent was again Neil a th is t ime Tenny was car r ied f rom the r ing in the 14th can to an 2 conscious man . . . . He died the next day—another potent ial great wr i t ten " f in i sh" to his ca reer . . . . These c i r cums tances a lmos t pan the Doyle affa i r . . . . Another big n a m e to pass the same way was E: Schaaf . . . . He took a bad beat ing f rom Max Baer and yet less t! six months la ter was pitted aga ins t Pr imo C a m e r a . . . .

Another case of J proper handl ing, poor judgment , and mis-matching . . . . A s tep to ^ provement was noted recent ly in the Zale-Graziano fight when the "i ferce stopped the bout against Zale 's wishes. . . . Too many t imes in a past boxers have been allowed to go on not real iz ing how badly were hu r t unt i l a few days later . . . . This is being corrected. . . . *
