Dempsey's Psychology Has
Got Louis Crowd Worried

there's definite weakness in
his style" They wonder, as a re-
suit, if, by some chance, Jack
may have something up his sleeve
which will turn his 10 to shot
protege, Rurman, into the surprise
package to end all surprise pack
ages.
What Jack means by a weak.
ness, he explained today, is that
Louis Achilles heel is in his head
HE can't take punch arounc
the head" Jack insisted. "Schmel
ing knocked him out. Galento hac
him groggy and Braddock had him
on the floor.
"Any style of attack that is al
all unusual mixes Joe up. Well,
Burman has a crouching weaving
style and has learned couple o1
things about throwing hooks to the
body out of a crouch. He's also a
dead game fella. I won't say he's
cinch to win, but he's got more
than a chance.
Sure, we're trying to worry the
Louis crowd. We've got to try
every angle we can think of. When
you're up against a guy like the
champ, who is a great puncher,
you've got to fight fire with fire"

BY SID FEEDER

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-lR-Jack
Dempsey is better known around
and about for his "sock-ology"
than his psychology.
But, as "Dr. Jack" he has ap-
piled to Friday nights heavyweight
title tussle between Red Burman
and Joe Louis distinct master
minding touch which has the bomb
er's fistic family at least little
upset, if not downright worried.
Ev0;'on one has been telling Louis
handlers for weeks that Red
doesn't stand chance in there
against the champions big guns;
that Joe probably can name the
round and the punch. Yet, the
bomber's brain trust has asked,
on more than one occasion, What
will Dempsey pull?"
They know that the old Manassa
Mauler won't be in the ring Friday,
that the Baltimore red-head is
strictly on his own once that bel.
rings. They also know, however,
that for the last couple of years,
Jack has been roaming up ano
down the country telling one ano
all Louis is a good fighter but
