AITELL USES HIS HEAD
MORE Than HIS FISTS

Abe Attell, champion featherweight
pugilist of the world. fights with his
head more so than with his firts. BY
this assertion II is not meant that Abe
is one of the boring, butting brand of
fighters like Battling Nelson and Ad
Wolgast.
Abe says he studies an opponent I'm
the first couple of rounds. seldom
landing a blow. being content TO follow
the other mans every move. This
knowledge stands him In good stead in
the subsequent rounds.
Abe's every movement has a mean
ing of its own" after the champion
has an opponent sized up. Abe is pre-
pared for anything and everything.
His fists start to work in conjunction
with the head and he generally lands
the decision. Attel says that a man
who has no head had best remain out
of the ring. Abe believes that a boxer
with a good head and only fair fists
can fight a better battle than one with
good fists and a poor head.
