Loughran. who retired in 1829 as light heavyweight champion to pick . up the trail that leads him into the ! Madison Square Garden bowl ring I tonight opposed to Camera, will concede every physical advantage | to his opponent. Virtually everything is on the t ide of the champion—betting. | .eight, height, reach, and age. oughran, however, has the great-.e-experienee. and it is upon this actor that he hopes to capitalize jy skipping away from the Italian in emergencies or attacking with his rapier-like flicks and jabs. Whether Loughran will be able |to continue this sort of an attack I depends on his ability to avoid CarI nera's club-like blows. Consensus i among boxing men today over- ! whelmingly pointed to a knock-out ' victory by Camera inside of eight or ten rounds. o Jinxed Again Rochester, Ind..
