The Chateau Moose L boxing class seeks more attendance from members and parents to run successfully. An exhibition bout last Monday drew few attendees due to a National Guard meeting. Ed McKferran and Vic Sargent supervise with proper equipment and safety, and past coaches note fewer injuries in boxing training. Matches could be planned with Chinook Browning and Great Falls if interest grows. McKferran is a former scout fleet middleweight champion. Sargent coached Fort Benton and Chinook, and was a Montana AAU flyweight champion in 1940. Parents are assured of quality instruction.
