Bruins vs. Bram:
\Vell. Tommy has brains. his big-
gest asset. But the greatest brain
in the world cannot overcome the
numbing effect that folows the
crash of a‘powerful blow on some
nerve center. And Tommy will have
to take more than one of these
crashing blow: it he expects to land
on Dempsey.
Tommy has confidence. too. But
it is the confidence borne of a belief
in his own powers. not that of expe-
rience. His boxing ability is above
question, ’but it is that of a. student
of fighting. not that o: the fighter.
He has speed. butgis flat-footed.
