I ■ . , ; Rocky Marciano to Attend Charles, Watson Go Tonight MILWAUKEE Wis., May 26 UP .—Former heavyweight champion Ezzard Charles will meet up-and-coming Larry Watson at the Milwaukee Arena tomorrow night and an interested ringside spectator will be the current heavyweight champ, Rocky Marciano. Charles, one of the top two contenders for Marcianos crown, will be scouted personally by the champion. It will be the first time Marciano has seen Charles in action, although Charles was on hand for Mar-sianos bout with Jersey Joe Walcott in Chicago May 15. Watson, a light-heivyweight from Omaha, Neb., will be going for an upset victory to move up in the national ratings. Watson won over Danny Nardico at Milwaukee last month and also has registered wins over Wes Bascom, Bill Noble, John Holman and Curt Kennedy.
