Ruling Unset by IZZy.

Janazzo caused revision OF this
ruling by consenting to meet GustaVe
Eder, the European champion. who
boasted a knockout victory over jim
nv Leto. in a 15-round fight and sur
prised the fans by winning easily
over the hard-punching German.
Garcia was considered over the peak
of his fighting form until he met Ross
in an overweight match and proceeded
to score two knockdowns over the
champion. A second meeting resulted
In Barney winning the decision. This
did not detract from Garcia's reputa-
tion with New Workers and he was
brought on to fight Locatelli. A win
over the Italian engineered the
Janazzo match with the benedictlon
Of the local Boxing Commission.
Garcia boasts the harder punch
and greater experience over his rival
Friday evening. The Filipino will not
have an easy time of it, however.
Janazzo has only two knockout victims
to his credit. But the lack OF sleep
punch has not prevented him from
battering his opponents vigorously
enough to gain the award and start
them downhill.

lTANAZzO is more resourceful than
Garcia. Against puncher. 1zzy
knows how to keep a left in the face
of his adversary and wage his fight in
close, where a swinging blow cannot
reach him effectively. This tends to
give his fights something Of same
ness, which does not appeal to the
fans. No amount Of clapping and
stamping of feet causes him to change
his tactics. His sole idea is to win and
be darned to the fans, who do not
have to feel the effects Of a we'll
delivered wallop.
Garcia has been through the mill
and has yet to learn how to adapt
himself to the various styles employed
by his opponents. This accounts for
the in-and-out performances revealed
in his record. Depending on the force
Of his punch will not avail him much
against the willy Janazzo. Barring an
Unforeseen change of tactics, Janazzo

CENE AUGUSTERFER, former
~ Catholic University and Pitts
burgh Pirate quarterback, today was
named coach of the Washington Pros,
local Dixie Foot Ball League entrant,
succeeding Willis Benner, former Uni
versity of Maryland star.
Having served as assistant to Joe
Bachman while with the Pirates, Au-
gusterfer was well schooled in profess
sional play. Under Benner the club
adhered strictly to the Warner system,
relying almost wholly on a single
wing formation.
Augusterfer intends to employ this
style as a basic formation, but will
vary the attack somewhat with plays
learned under Dutch Bergman at
Catholic University. Although the
running game will not be neglected
because the Pros apparently have the
necessary punch to make power plays
effective, passing will be featured
throughout the remainder of the sea-
son.

Maryland and Central High star, who
fractured his wrist in the first game
Of the season, will return to the team
shortly. Cumberland is polished
