Joe Williams Picks Garcia To Win Bout

Armstrong to Lose Welter Title Tonight in New York, He Says.

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—Between quarters, between halves, what would you say about tonight’s fight for the welterweight championship of the world? " Perhaps in all the hysteria about football you never heard of it. But a fellow named Ceferino Garcia is battling a fellow named Henry Armstrong in a 15-round bout in Madison Square Garden. Garcia is the challenger, Armstrong is the defender. This happens to be a legitimate championship because the boxing commission has nothing to do with it. Armstrong holds the title and Garcia is an authentic challenger. There are no technicalities involved. This is unlike the championship of a week ago when the commission presumed to dictate matters and ruined everything. I refer naturally to the so-called middleweight championship between Fred Apostoli and Young Corbett, when the real champion Solly Krieger was not even in the joint.

Henry Can’t Hit Hard Enough

It is still my feeling if the commission hadn’t shoved its nose into the fight as it did, insisting that Apostoli was the champion, ignoring the fact that Krieger had beaten the recognized champion, and thereby encouraged the promoter to jack up the prices— Well, what I want to say is that it would have been better for all concerned. But let that pass. It is so much gravy on a white vest. How about Garcia and Armstrong? Who do you like and why? Personally I like Garcia. I think he has two ways to win. Either by a knockout or a decision. I don’t put in with the boys who say he must win in five or six rounds by a knockout. I think he can go the 1imit and still win. And that’s how I figure the fight will go, 15 rounds with Garcia winning. - And I'll tell you why. First, I'll tell you about Armstrong. He can't hit hard enough to knock you out. He is one of those busy-bee guys. He will tap-tap-tap you to death, but don’t let anybody tell you he can knock you out. Not unless you want to be knocked out. Armstrong in the last 12 months has won three titles—the featherweight, the lightweight and the welterweight championships. So far as the records go this makes him a great fighter. And maybe he is. But when you check back . . .

Champ Got His Titles Easily Well, whom did he whip? I know

By LEO DAUGHERTY

Frank Baird, who has been hitting wooden barrel hoops and elegant baskets since he was a kid on the East Side, sat down today to defend the basketball game as played by the boys who step up to the box office after the game is over and pocket a portion of the gilt the customers have shoved through from the opposite side. Frank, who was an All-Missouri Conference forward when he played at Butler a few years ago, classes the pro court game as tops by the length of the floor. The Broad Ripple High School coach burst into conversation after finishing a practice with the Indianapolis Katusky All-Americans of the National Profesional League, with whom he plays and who open their season at Butler Fieldhouse Monday night against the Akron Goodyears, defending champions. Frank played barnyard ball, high school ball, college ball and for five years has been a member of the South Side Sports Promoter’s Ciub. “Pro ball is rougher,” he said. “Then boys who play this payoff game are more experienced, ‘They know what they are doing.

weight championship. Who was Sarron? Had you ever heard of him before he came into the Garden that night? Not often anyway. And then he whipped, skipping a class, Barney Ross, for the welterweight championship. On that particular night the most anemic man in the first row could have whipped Ross —a man who let his friends down unconsciously; he must have known he couldn’t fight any longer but his estimate of Armstrong was sO low he felt sure he could win. And then followed Armstrong’s bid for the lightweight championship. If he beat Lou Ambers he would have three titles, the featherweight, ‘lightweight and the welterweight. As you will recall he won that fight. He beat Ambers. At least he got the decision. It was riotously disputed. * Which is neither here nor there. Armstrong now comes up to meet Garcia. Which will win? To repeat, I like Garcia because he will have a very heavy weight advantage. Don’t pay any attention to the scales. "The scales will show that Garcia has about 10 pounds. But the scales won't show that Garcia just did make the welterweight limit. Nor will they show that between the weighing in time and the time of the fight Garcia will have picked up several additional pounds, 2

Park Bows to Cadet

Eleven in Last Fray.

The Park School football team had closed its season today after receiving its first defeat in 14 starts yesterday at the hands of the Culver, Military squad, 26-0, at Culver. Culver received the opening kickoff and marched down the field. After four first downs, Van Kirk passed to Capt. Will Maxson over the goal for the tally. Park then |: made its only threat of the game - when Marion Carter and Bud Pack got together on two long passes to the Culver three-yard line, where they lost the ball on downs. In the final half hour Culver ran riot by scoripg three times.

College ball is faster than high school ball. So when we get to the pros I think we have the finest game there is.” Frank thinks that the Hoosiers like passing and ballhandling more than they do shooting, but shooting, he says, is the thing that wins ball games. He remarked that Johnny Sines, the All-Big Ten forward from Purdue and Jewell Young, an AllAmerica from Purdue, Kautsky teammates, are the best shooters that he has even seen on a hardwood from coast to coast. Frank cuddled up a bookkeeping portfiolio in his arms and remarked that it was a lot easier to teach the boys at Broad Ripple how to make two and two add to four than it is to make two through the nets. Frank’s ambition is to make the Kautskys the same kind of a team as are the New York Renaissance and the New York Celtics. They're the tops, the Rocket coach thinks.

Funny thing, but Baird’s first pro game was against the Rens and he smilingly admits that he never saw the ball. He knew somebody had it but he couldn’t get around to the gent who was handling and passing it. -PFrank is convinced that the pro game is superior because every man who plays it has had the benefit of both college and high school training and when he gets around to the salaried league he’s seasoned through and through. Mr. Baird's idea of the pro game is that the fans like to see the pivot style of play. They like to see a guy get the ball and know just who he is passing it to and what the passer is going to do with it when he gets it.

Rudicel’s Speed Pleases Customers

Mr. Kautsky, who likes basketball, baseball and golf—and who doesn’t give a rap for football—is merely a spectator when his team plays. But he’s one of the squarest. professional sports promoters that ever promoted. No guy ever went want-

ing for his check whether there were five paying customers in the stands or whether there were 5000. In addition to Young, Sines and Baird, Owner Kautsky has Glynn Downey, All-America guard from Purdue in 1936, now coaching at Greencastle; Bob Kessler, another All-America from Purdue, who is playing a forward position, and Jim Birr, Indiana University’s ace center last year. Playing with these are Rex Rudicel, former All-Indiana Conference star. This Ball State mite is the crowd favorite because of the speed with which he negotiates the floor. He’s coaching this year at Hagerstown. Central Normal makes its: contribution in the person of Dave Williams, a guard. He is now coach at Dayton, Ind., High School.
