Armstrong's Fine Build
Ruinous to Foes
By GRANTLAND RICE,

Special Correspondent OF The star.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2 (N.ANA0.
Henry Armstrong, having beaten
off Petro Montanez, the latest chal-
lenger for the welterweight cham
pionship, looks on ahead to the mid
dleWeight division and crack at
Ceferino Garcia.
This, of course, would not be the
first meeting of Armstrong and
Garcia. They fought as welter-
weights and Garcia almost knocked
Henry out with couple Of his bolo
punches. But Henry managed to
shake them off and move back fight
ing, and he wound up with the deci-
sion.
That night the weight hurt Garcia.
Today he is heavier, stronger and,
If not better fighter than he was,
probably a more confident one as a
result of his knockout of Fred Apos-
toll and his winning of the middle
weight championship. And yet ex-
pert opinion will be on Armstrong;
side if the men climb through the
ropes.
Henry Is heavier, too, and stronger,
and a belief that he had slowed
down badly-prompted by his show
ing in his second fight with Lou
Ambers-was dissipated by his ef-
fectiveness against Montanez. He
has put on only three or four pounds,
but at his age-27-a natural growth
even as small as that toughens the
fiber.

Henry AIwoys Hos Edge
Due to STRENGTH

It would be an almost incredible
thing, of course, for man who was
featherweight and lightweight cham
pion and still is welterweight cham
pion-although only three or four
pounds over the lightweight limit
to win the middleweight title. But
1t could happen.
It is made possible by the fact that
Armstrong has a freakish build.
With his thick neck, wide shoulders,
deep chest and powerful arms, he
always has weight pull that isn't
indicated on the scales. That thick
torso above his spindly, but tireless,
legs gives him an edge on any man
he fights who doesn't outweigh him
by at least Is pounds.
In sheer strength and power, the
men he fought as featherWeight
were babies in his hands and he has
yet to meet man-and that goes
for Barney Ross, Lou Ambers, Mon
close and rough around with him
and not become exhausted.
Ambers, the only man to beat him,
won on a technicality, Armstrong
having the better of the fighting
but losing the decision on five low
punches that cost him a round
apiece. And Ambers Jared as we'll
as he did by bobbing around Henry
and making Henry chase him-not
by staying in close as Ross and
Garcia and Montanez did.
Distribution Of Weight

again that fighters weight isn't
as important as the structure Of his

self up to 100, he will not be big
enough, although as general rule
of the ring man who weighs 180
pounds is big enough to beat any

small-boned and lightly strung to-
gether. Jack Dempsey at 180 was
a man of iron, big enough, strong
enough and tough enough to lick
any man that ever lived.
