LOCAL BOXING FANS
 WILL SEE THIS BOUT
DELEGATION FROM SPA TO cOU LON JACKSON MILL IN
 NORTH LITTLE ROCK

There is every likelihood that a good sized delegation of local boxing fans will visit the Army Athletic club, North Little Rock. next Wednes- day night, to witness the ten round main event between Eddie Coulon of New Orleans, now stationed at Camp Pike, and Nate Ja, kson, of Oklahoma City.
 The most interesting pages of local sport history was made by these two boys here last season. for they met twice and went the distance in fast ten round draw. Later Coulon jour neyed to Oklahoma City, where, he chagres, he got a fine trimming from the referee and not from Jack son He is anxious to meet Jackson in North Little Rock and the fans over there are all 'het up," as it were, over this battle, which has a big element of "grudge' in 1t.
 Eddie Coulon is very popular in this city and to friends from here he met there last week said:
 'I want to get a furlough and run over to the springs, but this soldier business is keeping me pretty busy How do I like it? Well, I'm here and its all right and is doing me lot of good, and I would like to see bunch of my friends over when I box Jack son, for I am certainly going to try and take that fellow this time" Coulon is the same dapper little gentleman he was here last season and no boxer over there has larger circle of friends.
