No Contracts Submitted { Husky: Eddie—former Olympic| light heavyweight champion and U. 8. amateur heavyweight champ ~-said it was his understanding that Louis merely wished for 10 rounds instead of 15 so that he would not be forced to go through the more rigorous training grind. And since Louis, now 33, already had made a record of 23 defenses at the scheduled 15-round distance, he believed Joe deserving of a “break.” That was why Eagan said the commission would approve 10 rounds, No contracts were submit-

Wheni the non-title announcement was made, Eagan immediately became the unwilling center of widespread debate. Everyone, including Louis, admitted that if the champion were knocked out by Walcott, he would lose his title, despite the non-title tag. But expert opinion was divided on what would happen if Louis lost on a decision. Eagan Disagrees Twentieth-Century representatives said Louis could not lose the title on a 10-round decision; for tui; section 1, of the New York BURLE™ COGS Plimaton = swwwrsy vwongeosy champ te engage in a non-title| bout of less than 15 rounds. “I do not agree with that rule,” Eagan stated. “It's a bad rule, and I don’t know how it got into our book. It violates the pugilistic fradition that any time a heavyweight champion steps into the ring for a fight, he is risking his title. Remember that Gene Tunney's two championship victories over Jack: Dempsey were 10-round triumphs.” Because of the debater and confusion that followed the non-title
