naturally favored to defeat the man.
moth Indian. White Feather has a pet
hold, the bar chinook, which he expects
to use effectively on the little Greek
star and has expressed confidence in
his ability to wrest the title from Lon

Four other bouts round out the card.
The semi-wind-u between Billy Bar

Boris De Metro is expected to rival
the feature. doc" Wilson, M. D., of
the University of Indiana, will trade
holds with Rough House" Olsen:
Frank Brunowitz tangles with Mike

Leonard Wagner.
The first bout will begin at 8 o'clock,
with the Londos-White Feather affair

So much importance is attached to
the feature that the National Boxing
