JIMMY POWERS' RATING Rated W L D KO's 3 46 11 5 14 10 52 12 2 36 JANUARY 8 Giardello has regained top contend- ership after his defeat earlier in the year. When he wants to, he can box and fight with the best in the middle¬ weight division. He showed this ability in bouts with Walter Cartier and Ernie Durando. Against the aggressive Pan- ter, who scored in the Garden over Pierre Langlois, Giardello will face op¬ position that is made to order for him. The lad from Salt Lake City is a bit on the Tuzo Portuguez type, and you might remember what kind of bout Giardello- Portuguez was. Garth is a willing box¬ er, can punch against fair opposition, but will look much like a novice against the Philadelphia entry. Giardello should look like Bobo Olson's star challenger. ©DANGEROUS ASSIGNMENT "The Caboose Story," starring Brian Donlevy, An old girl-friend of Steve Mitchell's is suspected of master-mind¬ ing a wave of sabotage in Japan. 0 CHANCE OF A LIFETIME Dennis James interviews guests. 9:30 0 PERSON TO PERSON Edward R.
