10 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, November 30, 1965 IN NORTH .VANCOUVER British Professional Boxer Coaching Canadian Amateurs By DOUG MARTIN , VANCOUVER (CP) -- Dave €oveniry started this year as -@ well - regarded professional boxer in Britain. He intends to end it as a coach with an-ama- teur club in Canada. : \ The 25 - year - old lightweight has been working as a polisher with a Vancouver lock-manu- facturing firm and teaching nights at the Northwest: Eagles Boxing Club. "He's. going to be a great help to this club," says head coach Elio Ius, a 40-year-old longshoreman who fought briefly as a pro in New York. The club has about 25 juniors, a dozen senior amateurs and a handful of professionals. lus, % Coventry and other coaches do- Mate their time, working almost exclusively with amateurs train- 7 ing for golden gloves and junior | tournaments. -But although he's still close to boxing, Coventry shows no in- terest in fighting again as a pro. "No more training for me,' he says. 'You might say I'm tired of the heavy roadwork and heavy training. And you met say I'd have a. tougher with my wife than my op- | ponents if I started again." ' Coventry quit just as it seemed he was reaching his peak. In April he had his big- gest payday when he earned $4,000 in dropping a 15-round decision to Maurice Cullen for the British lightweight title. 20TH IN WORLD He still appears in the rank- fmgs. Ring Magazine has had him seventh best among Com- monwealth lightweights for the last four months, And the Octo- ber issue of another American boxing publication ranked him No. 1 in Britain and 20th in the world. Coventry has fought in Lon- don's Wembley Stadium and New York's Madison Square Garden and has scored victor- les over men who at the time were champions of France, Bel- gium, South Africa, Scotland, Treland and Wales. "My best fight was a one- round knockout over former world featherweight champion Harold Gomes," he says. Coventry, who left Liverpool for the United States to turn pro at 17, says he won 44, lost seven and drew one in eight years./Britain.

"I really fell in love with the} North American way of living} wher. I was in New York. I de- cided that's the way I want my boys to grow up." Three months ago he left quietly for Canada, bringing his wife and four-year-old son. "I didn't want to tell my man- jager. A manager is harder to | get rid of than a wife.' Coventry's value as a coach lis obvious, His reputation is jenough to make youngsters lis- |ten and he can step into the jring- with the big boys and |demonstrate if necessary. He proved this. when he sparred two rounds each with jamateur featherweight Roger Adolph and pro welter Jim Mc- Gowan one night recently. Adolph, who is seeking a Brit- ish Empire Games' berth, is a good boxer but sometimes just quits punching for no apparent!| jreason. When he quit punching against Coventry the coach j snapped his head back with stinging jabs for a good object lesson. Long before the drafts ended {t became evident that some} players were committed to cer-| tain teams before the draft and} were therefore being avoided by} others. Thé .most significant tactors| leading to that interpretation] were threefold: The length of | time some teams took 'before | making first-round 'selections, | the low number of duplicated first-round choices and_ the quick rash of signings--28 in the NFL and seven in the AFL. Only three-players were picked by both leagues on the first round, Nobis, Grabowski) and Purdue tackle Jerry Shay, who signed with the NFL's Min-| fesota Vikings after being) picked in the AFL draft by Den- yer Broncos.
