Tue big fellow needs all of this box

been size. strength. ability to take a
punch and ability to hand one out. He
goes in inc takes a punch-or a lot OF

enough TO put one over himself. He
hasn't the smoothness OF the skilled
boxer yet. A clever big man would
make Carl look like a nov!ce-for a few
rounds a least. lie Is practically a
novice. for he hasn't been tried out
against q real fighter. Marvin Hart and
Atks Schreck were fat old has-beens
when he whipped them. The fact tina,
Hart took a questionable wcnty-round

Morris his nrst real trial. Flynn Is n
