If Harry Wills is easily

knees must shake when he
reads things which are being
written about Luis Firpo. A
year ago, before Luis fought
Dempsey, he was pictured as
primitive, ferocious person. He
looked the part, and everyone
took it for granted that he was
as wild as he looked. He did
look wild until Dempsey put
him down on the floor a few
times. Then he suddenly ap.

he is nearer 245 pounds. When
he is asked how much he weighs,
