We'll folks, you nave oeelA aSh-
-, for action and here 1t is, IN
~ 5ir way. The card that promo
- usttrlck of the Albemarie
,,n,etic Club has arranged for
.,n,rrr At TeXaco Beach is packed
S,r # good clean. fast action.
rom this corner the card as a
rb,Ie IS uneQualed in the anna
,srr ranks. On paper, 1t looks
hotter bv a long shot than any
scheduled. 1t has the earmarkS
Of a natural.
For instance. take one look az
,bs main go. Carol Neece, FAT
nornd fighter from Ocean View
isarherS with Elmo Tucker OF
pichmoud. Tucker. is one Of the
easiest middle weights in the
amateur ranks in the Old Dornn-
i'm His record is unqueStionable.
ga has the punch, the ability TO
take il. the experience and most
NJ all he has a fighting heart. In
his last appearance at TeXaco
Reach he beat Bill Spence in the
opening round with a Knockout
Neece. needs no introduction to
The local fans. In his last appear
ance al the TeXaCo Beach arena,
he fought the battle or his life to
take a close decision from Al
Forbes Last fall Tucker met and
defeated NeeCe when he first
Sar,ed boxing in three bouts.
Neece who is a very much improv-
ed fighter and has been headlin-
ing cards at Ocean View and is
yIsht now enjoying a long string
Of victories. He asked the promo
terS 10 match him with Tucker
and promoter Hettrick was fort
Unate 20 secure this bout for a
main go. Its a real grudge bat
lie. Neece is out to revenge three
earlier defeats. and Tucker is
gam enough TO believe he can't
do !, yet. Any way you look at it,
i is a natural. This bout will be
worth the price of admission
alone.
In The Semi-fnal you will find
.ha, hard swinging Woodrow
Midget, pltted against Earl Tuck
CT. brother Of Emo. In EarfS
last appearance on the Texaco
Beach card he spot. ed Earl Mid
gett. a younger brother of Wood
TON five pounds and won decisi
ion IN spite of the terrific slug
glng Of the younger Midget. In
C,denta.ly Earl Tucker is feather
weight champion Of Virginia and
participant in the National Gold
en- Gloves tourney a. Boston this
winter. Earl has lost only three
bouts in his last 81. Woodrow
Midget is on his way to a come
back in fStiC circles. Three years
ago he was one of the best high
ScaOO. pugS in the state. After a
tTO year layOff he is attempting
a comeback. In his last appear
aDce TWO weeks ago he won by a
< o.. over Frank YariS in the
t1iEc round. Both boys can punch
ana take it and have reputa-
ION Tor mixing freely. Gentle
men : ask you. what more could
you ask?
IN one preliminary James Sey-
mou Of Elizabeth City, weight
--5 pounds will tangle with Red
cooke Of Richmond. Cooke is a
Classy little featherWeight with
speed and punch. Seymour has
oeen working out for the last
three weeks and will make his
sAg debut tonight.
Earl Midget again steps on The

Lar. Tucker in spite Of the fact
