Close Work In The Ring

From Hattiesburg American April 8, 1943
Two battlers and one of Camp Shelby's recent championship ring bouts were caught by the camera in this unique pose. The fighter with back to camera is Salvatore Spatare with the 474th Quartermasters who won the 135-pound open title from Sake Higa, 100th Infantry, whose grimace is visible over Spatare’s shoulder. Spatare is from Omaha and Higa is from Honolulu. (Photo by Pvt. Hal Yockey, Camp Shelby Reveille staff.)
