With ever-popular "big men" in the role of main eventers, Saturday's programme of boxing at the Auditorium, it is freely predicted, is certain to draw a. large turn-out of followers of the manly art. In Nichi Wan, the game, rugged young Chinese light heavyweight, the card boasts a popular headliner, a youngster with a growing following thanks to his fine showing against Leo Kubiak, whom he beat in his debut appearance after being floored twice.
In Swede Gert Eng, however, Wan meets a proposition even tougher than Marine Kubiak, for Gert, still youthful and fast is much the more experienced of this Saturday's main eventers and it is expected that unless Wan produces considerably more than to date he has shown he will find himself in trouble, as the Swede can box and can fight, packing more than enough "kick" in his gloves to win via the knock-out route. Eng and Wan are to go ten rounds, weighing in at just under the 175-Ib. mark.
"Slug" Bollinger, the Marine who was one of the sensations of the last Navy Relief Smoker, tangles with hard-hitting Private Chezemission of the Russian Regiment in the special event, an exceptionally promising contest, while the main preliminary, also of six rounds, is another Russo-
American battle with Private Kusnetzoff, welter of the stalking "killer" type, taking on Nicky Neuklis of the Fourth Marines.
