DIES OF INJURY Paret Loses Final Fight RING DEATH STAFF PHOTO GUY CHAMBERLIN sits at home after receiving the news of his selection to the Football Hall of Fame.

New York Benny (Kid) Paret, who was proud of his ability to take a punch and fire back, died Tuesday, 10 days after he was battered senseless in losing the world I welterweight boxing crown to Emile Griffith. The stocky, 25-year-old Cuban, star of one bruising battle after another since he started hrs U.S. campaign 4 years ago, never regained consciousness after being pounded against the ropes in the 12th round at Madison Square Garden on March 24. The kid from the sugar cane fields of Cuba had few easy fights in the United States. He fought some of the best in his own welterweight division (147 pounds) and in the middleweight class (160 pounds).

He punch too hard (9 knockouts in 49 fights) but he could absorb a wallop and wear down most opponents with his stamina and relentless attack. A two-time welterweight champion, he became the Youth Served On City Prep Colt Net Teamsi POINT BLANK first defender of a title ever to suffer fatal injuries in the ring. He was the 3rd fighter to die of boxing injuries this year and about the 450th since 1900, according to ring historian Nat Fleischer. There was criticism that he had fought too soon after taking a severe beating in a 10 round knockout loss to NB.A middleweight champion Gene Fullmer at Las Vegas last Dec. 9.

There was wortdwide criticism, too of the Paret- Griffith fight and cries for the abolishment of the sport. The autopsy, however, showed no evidence of an old brain injury. Dr. Alilton Helpern, the chief medical examiner, reported the findings after a 4-hour autopsy. was caused by com Husker Tribute Star Pays To Mates SHARES HALL OF FAME HONOR By DON BRYANT (after playing the 1913 season Star Sports Editor at Nebraska Wesleyan), Dick Guy Chamberlin Rutherford was the stand- always be to he said.
