 In the feature amateur bout, Charley Baginski, New England lightweight champion, will meet Joe Polowitzer. of Windsor Locks, Connecticut title holder.
 Ray Barnes, state flyweight champion, is matched with Nick Sato. New England title holder from Springfield, and Flip Andreas, state niddleweight champion from New London, will take on Sammy Craig, hard hitting local Negro.
