OFFICIAL RESIGNS
Match-maker For C.BA.
Mr T. Wildes, a member of the management committee of the Canterbury Boxing Association for five years, and the association’s amateur match-maker for the last three years, has resigned. His letter of resignation, after difference of opinion over the association’s promoting professional bouts and on other policy matters, was accepted at a meeting of the committee last week. Mr Wildes, after handing in his resignation, left the meeting. The president of the Canterbury Boxing Association (Mr E. G. Pocock) last evening confirmed that Mr Wildes had resigned. “I have no other comment to make: it is a matter for the committee,” he said. Questioned, Mr Pocock said that at the last meeting of the previous management committee it had been resolved, by vote, to exclude reporters from the committee meetings. That decision was still in force, he said. No reporters had been present at the meeting when it bad been decided to exclude them.
A special meeting of the management committee will be held this evening. Mr Wildes, who qualified as a New Zealand boxing judge two years ago, will still be available for judging if called on, and will remain an ordinary member of the C.B.A.
