Arnie Brower has picked up the nickname "Tuff Arnie Brower" and after two rounds with Chi- cagoan Eddie Dembry last Satur- day night, it was apparent why. In January alone, he stiffened two opponents—a comeback from his unsuccessful first fight in De- troit at the State Fair Grounds. Improving with each outing, the Jewish Center physical education instructor showed the careful tutor- ing of veteran trainer Al DeNapoli. Round one started out to be a debate. Dembry went out talking to Arnie but his remarks brought no replies—just powerful left hooks and right crosses to the head. In round two. Brower came out and took charge from the bell. His speed with both hands brought sighs from the more than 1,300 fans at the Commu- nity Arts Building of the fair- grounds. The end came when Brower man- euvered Dembry into the ropes and lashed at him with both hands. He hit Dembry with such a power- ful straight hand that Chicago's light-heavyweight was too stiff too fall even though he was out on his feet. The referee had to step in and stop the fight. Promoter Ernie Clark said he plans to use Brower again Feb. 25.
