BOXING CHALLENGE TURNOUT ‘AMAZING’
uckskin Gloves proves
to be pounding success

THE TOTEM Athletic Boxing Club’s (TAC) revival
of the Buckskin Gloves competition March 14 was an
overwhelming success as an estimated 500 boxing fans
cheered on 18 bouts at the William Lucas Continuing
Education Centre.

TAC coach and Buckskin Gloves organizer Mel
Nahanee said the turnout was ‘‘amazing. | was afraid
we might lose money on this whole thing, but we
broke even. It was a fantastic night of boxing. It's
something that hasn’t been done for a quarter of a
century.”

Main event winners included Dean acid Stanley
Wolfchild from the Blackfoot reserve in Alberta, who
won the best footwork and most scientific boxer
awards res,-sctively and TAC’s Les Nahanee and Dale

Berring of the Squamish Boxing Club took the best
bout award in a battle that had Berring winning a
close decision over Nahanee.

Berring also won the Junior Buckskin Boy Award
for his overall skill and ability.

TAC's David Cranmer was voted the Buckskin Boy
of °87 over runner-up David Sabena of the North
Shore Boxing Club.

Both men won bronze medals at the recent B.C.
Winter Games.

The Squamish Indian Band officially revived the
TAC June 1 in an attempt to rekindle boxing glories
won during the ’50s and ’60s when club boxers com-
peted in national golden, emerald and diamond glove
competitions.
