ROCKY KANSAS TO
MEET LEONARD in
FIGHT FOR TITLE
Fifteen Rounds With Decision To
Be Pulled OF Tonight In
New York

New York, Feb. 10,-Rocky Kansas,
the rugged Italian pugilist of Buffalo,
will tonight get his second change at
the worlds lightweight title in To-
round decision bout with Champion
Benny Leonard.
In an open air arena in Harrison,
N. ]. last summer, Kansas met the
Champion in combat for twelve
rounds, a new decision contest as re-
uuired by New Jersey laws and Leon
ard was acclaimed the victor on points
by a majority of fistic experts in at
tendance.
Tonight's encounter will be differ
ent from that in New Jersey as the
New York law permits decisions and
Leonard cannot take chances. Kansas
has shown great improvement during
the year.
Leonard can lose his title three
ways in tonigh-'s contest-by decision
on points, by being knocked out, or by
committing a foul with consequent
disqualification. He can retain his
crown by knocking out his opponent,
winning a decision on points, by be-
ing fouled or by a decision of drawn

COLLEGE RECRUITING
CAUSE PROFESSIONALISM

Columbus, O., Feb. 10. Recruiting
of high school ahletic stars by alumni
of various universities is the real
cause of professionalism in collegiate
sports. Prof. Thomas +. French OF
Ohio State University and president
of the Western Conference, said to-
day in a statement to the Associated
Press doing the recent athletic sean
dals in middle-western schools:
This PROSECUTING of coming ath-
letics through the recruiting of high

rious universities is a growing evil
that is causing more concern TO the
authorities of western conference
schools than the financial temptation
to college players to join the ranks
of the professionals" he said.
