which was dumped bodily into

of the friction. The fight over
the relief bill, the effort to force
the Administration to take a

and the suspicion that some con-

Columbus University's boxing
team, riding along undefeated thus
far, will run into some real op-
position tonight at Joe Turner's
Arena when the battling locals mix
it with the strong undefeated Uni
versity of Toledo.
Ten per cent Of the gate receipts,
it was announced by DR.. John R.
Fitzpatrick, dean of Columbus Uni
versity Law School, will be turned
over to the American Red Cross
to be used toward relief of flood
victims.
DR.. Clarence w. Spears, com
monty known as DOC" Spears,

recognition at the University OF
West Virginia, Minnesota and Wis
consin University, will make the
trip with the team.
Visitors Well Drilled
The Rockets" the name by
which the Ohio team is known
throughout the Middle West, are
well drilled and reported ready for
action. Reports have it that Coach
Pep Justo. Toledo boxing coach,
has been drilling his battlers twice
daily in an effort to make a good
showing.
Highlighting the card will be
the battle in the 118-pound class
which will bring together Kenny
Schuyler, hard-punching Toledo
battler, and the classy Ray
Morse. Schuyler, recent sensa-
ton Of the Detroit Golden Gloves
tournament during which event
he scored three knockouts, is
favored to win the champion
ship to be decided in that city
within the next few weeks. Morse,
a hard worker, always in the pink
of condition, will be ready for the
battle and should give the To
ledoan plenty of action.
In the 126-pound class another
great battle looms. Jimmie Willis,
newcomer and knockout sensation
battling for Columbus, will meet
George Abood, hard-punching To-
ledo battler.
Three Straight KnOckOuts
Willis, sensation of the recent
Golden Gloves during which he
scored three straight knockoutS
to win the championship, scored
a knockout in his first meeting
for Columbus last week against
Wake Forest. Abood. fast, hard
puncher, has several bouts al
ready to his credit thus far this
season, winning all impressiVely.
Buddy LaZear, Columbus Uni
versity's knockout sensation who
thus far has scored all knock
outs in his meets for Columbus,
will be out for his third straight
tonight when he meets hard
punching Van Ryzin, rough and
ready Wisconsin Dutchman. In
