An in~vigorating crinkIy tang In

ise OF accelerated activity IN Pro-
moter Tex Becerril's third boxing
card.
All boxers, from the main event
boys on down, pronounced them
selves in good condition and champ
ing on the bit for the opening gong
tonight. Nearly all felt SUR OF vic
tory, but those that know they are
in for "A lively session gave the gem
eral impression of eff 7 lose. therell
be no regrets for I am going 10 do
my best"
Winners on previous cards have
been given the first call tonight.
They include Goodman. Littz, Guer-
rs, Marroquin, Lupe, Martinez and
H~inoJoss.
One Of the outstanding features
or the cards being put on here Is
the amateur spirit of the fighters.
They are all Valley boys and are due
for considerable raw-hiding. and loss
Of prestige If they lose or do not
put up a good fight. They are not
like the ultra-sophisticeted profess
sional who is here today and there
tomorrow and TO whom a defeat
means little more than q jump 70
now territory. This is their home
and they want TO win.
The main event has shown symp-
toms Of developing into a 'grudge
fight" Not the cooked up kind Oft
entimes used % bring out a fight
crowd. but one that has the fighters
huffed up themselves.
Red Turner has accused Homer
Goodman Of cvading bouts with him
in the past. Turner and Goodman
we're formerly soldiers together at
Fort Brown and consequently they
know each other pretty well. Turner
was fighting in tho Valley about
three years ago. About the time
Homer began to feel the gnawing
panEs Of pugilistic ambitions. Both
worked up a fair reputation as WELD
srs Of tho thinly padded gloves but
they we're never gotten together de-
spite the fact they were in the same
class-around 155 pounds.
Red was transferred a. Fort Clark
and continued his fighting. knocking
ove a number or good boys. Later
he has compiled a fair record in San
Antonio rings. Now he has been
transferred to Fort Brown again.
Homer in the meantime has made
larged strides forward in the art of
modified murder.
Red. with the memory Of an ele-
plant, brings up the old score
against Homer. Goodman SAYS there
is nothing to II and there never has
been, and proves his contention by
signing up for thc bout as fast a. he

They are programmed ~ 10 ten
r0unds-perhaps.
