 Hartford, Nov 21.-''If any 126- pound man in the world can beat Terry McGovern l can." The speaker Mas William RothweII of Denver. known in the twenty-four foot ring as ''A AouhS Corbett- He was finishing his alter noon's training work by a feroclons mauling of the punching bag, and the perspiration rolled in riyulets rom Ills face and shoulders
 .sOf course" said he, -''I fully under stand that McGOvern is wonderInl tighter. and he may be an altogether harder man than l think he Is; Dut l repeat that if I fail to beat him on Thanksgiying- day then the 126.pound- CTS may as well give him up for pad job.
 -..The reason for my confidence Is that believeI can hit just as hard as the champion. l can take the knockS just as well as he can. and l will not be beaten when l go into the ring. l can deliver q knockout blow with either hand; and another thing, l will not run away from him. There will be no tin-canning on my part. l VIII meet him more than half way, and believe I can hit just as quickly, just as often and just as hard as he.
 Rest assured if hit him so he goes to the floor he will stay there. With the exception of Harry Forbes. Me Govern has not met q man who would stand and fight him. They have all tried to iab him with q straight left and then get away. As for myself. will begin to fight him as soon as the bell sends us to the center for the first round, and I will stick to him until he stops me or I settle him.
 '1 think I am quite as strong as Ia Is. l am but 21 years of age and am in better condition now than ever be- fore in my life. You see have had q months good training and l am now at weight. I realize that this is my great opportunity. and I intend % make the effort of my life"
 There was much in the actions and looks of the Denver fighter to warrant the confidence he has i'll himself. Physically he strongly resembles Me Govern. although lacking the cham pion's symmetry of build. Corbett has the square jaw and short. thick neck of the typical fighter, and pos sesses a wide. deep chest
 His legs are short and appear rather small compared to the size of the trunk. He has a large, muscular arm, DuN AOl SU stS l4C0ONrEli- He is very quick on his feet and also with his hands. but it is questionable If he possesses the tigerlike agility of the Brooklyn boy
 In boxing with his sparring assist ants, Charley Sieger and William Clan cy- COrbetf exhibited much versatility He showed great nimbleneSs on the feet and side-stepped and danced about very cleverly.
 His -faFofite lnoCp- of procedure was at close quarters. where he worked straight right for the heart and q left hook for the jaw that were very eff fective. He also has q right hand up- percut that he uses with damaging ef- feet.
 In short-arm work he exerted him- self like carpet beater and seemed to know all the various combinations. He swings terrificalIy with either hand and has q trick of rushing out of his corner and letting fly with both hands: He is a very quiet fellow. seldom mak- ing any assertions unless questioned closely.
 Unless all signs fail this Denyerite should keep McGOvern very busy on the afternoon of November 2S.
 COrbett's work yesterday consisted of twelve miles on. the road several three-round bouts. half an hour at tll, punching bag and short session with the pulleys.
