(By Associated Press.)

KENOSHA, Wis.,, Jan. 14.-When
Charlie White and Sailor Friedman,
both lightweights of Chicago. step in
to the ring here tonight for a bout
that calls for 10 rounds of boxing,
many followers of the sport who have
interested themselves in the old
grudge said to exist between the fight
er's, expect a spectacular battle.
In boxing circles it is pointed out
that there can be more than settle
ment of an old grudge. After knock
ing out White at Benton Harbor,

Leonard who meets Richie Mitchell
in New York tonight, promised him a
return bout. A victory over Fried
man tonight would give White some
prestige in his campaign for another

CATS, DOGS,
REWRITING TO TYPE

BUDAPEST, Jan. 1i.-Even the cats
and dogs of Central Europe have de-
generated as a result of the war, says
Professor Balkanyi, Director of the
Veterinary School here, who is in
vestigating how the habits of domestic
animals have been Influenced by that
cause. Most of the town-bred cats in
this part of the world refuse to drink
milk because it is unknown by them,
due to the lack of milk during the
war, the professor asserts.
Both cats and dogs are relapsing TO
the savage ways of their untamed an
cestors," he says. The vagrancy of
dogs is startling. Pet dogs elope from
heart-broken mistresses, joining packs
of NANCY village dogs, where they
live in communist equality"
The same authority says that, "be-
sides hydrophobia, nervous diseases
are very frequent among animals.
am afraid domestic animals in Eastern
Europe are degenerating and that the
stock must be replenished from over
seas"

Several games running over the 1000
mark were pulled off on the Twigg
alleys Thursday night when the City

The Earlham basketball squad left
they will battle the DePauw five to-
night. Moves men expect to stage a
strong comeback at the expense of the
Tigers.
Whether tonight's contest will help
straighten out the sadly mixed up
state dope is hard to say. If the Quak-
ers lose, their chances for state hon
ors will be small, while if they win
they will still be among the leading
contenders.
UP to this game the locals have lost
only two contests, one to Wabash and
one to Butler The latter defeat is
offset by the fact that Earlham won
over Purdue while the Boilermakers
walked over the Butterflies. The Ma
room and White will have a chance to
redeem the defeat by the Scarlet when
they meet the Little Giants here on
Feb. 10.
Wabash Claims Honors.
At the present time Wabash is
claiming state honors, having defeated
Purdue by large margin. Earlhams'
claim lies in the fact that she de-
feated Purdue while Butler failed. AL
though Handicapped by injuries the
Quakers' chances of winning tonight's
game with the Bussmen are good and
if they do come out victors they will
still be among the state contenders.
Move will probably start with the
same lineup tonight as in the Butler
game last week, although Hall may
not be able to play the entire game.
Johnson did not make the trip as his
condition was not thought to be suf-
ficientlv improved to warrant it. Had
ley and Townsend have been showing
I'D we'll and will probably be given a
chance.
Move took the following men on the
trip: Lawler. Hall. Carey, Goar. Beck,
Beasley, Townsend, Hadley and Hin
