2 | Former Prize Fighter Has His Own Objective MONT™ AL pag err «a Chartrand went s |-searching at 22, gave up the prize ring and p'unged into the world of the thinker. : 'Now at 30 he vorks as a waiter, reads the works of such philosophers as Jean - Jacques Rousseav and Blaise Pascal, and runs a deficit-ridden boxing school in a rundown white- building that once housed a Protestant church. He 's also a self-proclaimed separatist, a supporter of the movement seeking to shear Quebec from Confederation. Chartrand bought his building for $15,000 a year ago in a drab east-end area where tenements are crammed together and tough-looking kids scurry about the streets. Inside, in hir cubbyhole of an office, his desk bears a tele- phone, ~ copy of Nat Fleischer's Ring Record Book and an eco- nomic treatise by Raymond Barbeau, a top-ranking separ- atist figure. FORMER CONTENDER Once one of Canada's leading welterwe'ghts, Chartrand is a squat, muscular man of five- foot-seven with angry, deep-set eyes, dark curly hair and the typical features of the fighter-- flat face, broad nose and scar tissue around the eyes, At 165 pounds he's 20 or so heavier than the night he fought Tony Percy here for the Cana- dian title in 1954 and bowed in a 12-round decision. Chartrand is undeniably an extrovert, expressing himself candidly, with gestures, in booming tones like a man who wants to be sure he is under- stood. | His conversation is sprinkled with multi-syllable words, bely- ing a formal education that stopped after the sixth grade.|* Ultimately he wants to write books. He is especially outspoken on the subject of boxing. MAN 'WASTING' 'Boxing is dying,' he said,| "because man is dying. He's) dying 10 and 15 years before he should because he is phys- ically wasting.

He argues passionately against any ban on boxing. "It's one of the few areas left in society where a man can show his masculinity and his honor, Nobody pushes you.

He drifted to Montreal as a youth, took a $15-a-week job in a clothing factory and started campaigning in amateur box-|7 ing. EARNEST PROJECT Thinking of quitting the ring, Reggie started searching for the world he'd missed--liter- ature. Soon he was devouring volumes of the classics. "Tt was just as if I had spent all my earlier life on another planet." A year ago he started teach- - jing the manly art--'Ecole de ure as Boxe" says the electric sign outsid: ing the old church Jout easy around the eyes. 1|and outfitting the main hall--45 feet by 70 feet--with a ring, three light bags, two heavy HEAD-ON-CRASH PROVEN THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, October 31,1963 15 MAJOR FOOTBALL HAZARD CHICAGO (AP) -- A foot- bal] player's shock after a head - on collision may be equal to that suffered if he was hit on his helmeted head with a baseball bat swung by Mickey Mantle. That was the report Tues- day by a medical expert and former Northwestern Univer- sity football star after a two- year study of football head in- juries. o Dr. Stephen E. Reid, asso- ciate professor of surgery at Northwestern University med- ical school, told the National Safeiy Congress: "A football player crashing into an opponent subjects his helmet to blows of more than. _ times the force of grav- "That's the same impact a ball encounters when Mantle hits it into the upper deck." "However, perhaps it's more significant that the blows to a player's helmet are more than times as intense as the force of gravity experienced by an astronaut during the lift-off asd re-entry of a space capsule," However, Dr. Reid, whose experiment used two North- western gridders who helmets were '"'wired for sound," said that hard-shelled, plastic sus- pension-type helmets generally used greatly absorb contact shock. But, Dr. Reid said, since high school players seem most subject to head injuries, "de- velopment of the best helmet available for them is the ulti- mate goal of our study." Dr. Reid's next step will be to xecord the effects of im- pacts on_a player's brain dur- ing a agme. bags, weights, mirrors for shadow work and other para- phernalia for training. | So far about 200 youngsters have passed through.
