The Golden Gloves state tournament is coming to a close at the Will Rogers Memorial Coliseum. Competing in the light-heavyweight division, left to right are Bill Shield and Tom Attra. Shield is a blonde boxer, representing the Abilene district. He was doing pretty well until he met Attra's potent right fist. Attra is representing Austin, Texas. He is said to have the most destructive right hand in the tournament. Attra is shown standing over a falling Shield, his obliterating wallop, wiping Shield out of the competition.
