whom Tom Jones, manager Of Ad Vol

who was loyal enough to stick to Char
ley Cutler. the Chicago fighter and
wrestler. who has been furnishing his
meal ticket for some time.
Willard is billed as the largest and
fastest man in the ring. He is also re-
.ferred to as the logical heavyweight
champion. This will. of course. worry
no one. not even the real champion.

day he could stand up before Johnson

team. standing six feet six inches In
his stocking feet. and weighs 225
pounds. His reach is eighty-three and
q half inches.
Willard has only been boxing a cou-
pie Of years. He fought Luther Nc
