Irish Eddie DOlan, local welter- weight star whose winning streak was halted last fall in New Haven by Cocoa Kid, will return to action Friday night when he climbs through the ropes to meet Rego Dell, rugged Scranton, Pa, scrapper, in one of two eight round feature bouts at Randolph Gloves Stadium.
 Dolan figures to have his hands full with Dell, who has been going great guns in the last few months, especially at Bridgeport. But the clever southpaw realizes he will have to be at his best to win over the Italian better and has been going through strenuous workouts since signing for the bout several days ago.
 Regarded by many as the un- crowned king of the welterweight division. Cocoa Kid will make his first appearance in a Waterbury ring in the other eight round bout.
 Cocoa's opponent wil be Milo Theadorescu. Rumanian puncher whose slambang style should make him good opponent for the clever boxing New Haven Negro, who for several years has been ranked as one of the worlds ten best welters. Currently he is ranked in the num- Der five spot.
 The Kid has on his record wins over such top-notch performers as Norman Rubio, Carl Dell, Holman Williams, Pete DeRuzza, Manuel Villa, Wicky Harkins, Tony Martin, Steve Mamakos and Joe Sutka. The latter three are full hedged 1oO- pounders, capable of top billing in any club in the country.
 Although he is known for his cleverness and lightning-like leRt jab, Cocoa also possesses a wallop in his right hand. He is one of the most pleasing fighters cam paigning in New England.
 First announcement of Coocoa's being signed to appear here has met with widespread acclaim and many reservations have already been received at Mulligan's.
 Waterbury fight fans will be see- ing 8 fighter who knows the mean ing of the word opportunity" in Theodorescu, the Rumanian welter- weight champion, who faces Cocoa Kid in the main event.
 Having lived in a country where opportunity seldom if ever comes to a boy of ordinary station, Milo has taught himself to take advantage of every situation that even suggests opportunity. The opportunity of lifetime comes to the colorful Ru- manian boxer in the chance to meet New England's outstanding welter- weight.
 Matchmaker George Sheppard has promised the winner of the Theo- dorescu-Cocoa Kid bout a lucrative match with the sensational Ray Robinson at future date in Wa terbury, and Milo realizing the im- portance of such a bout, is training hard to be at his best for the oc- casion.
 Milo's record is not unknown to New England boxing fans. Listed among his most recent victims are such outstanding names as Tony Martin. Carmen Notch, Baby Breese, Tommy Jones and Howell King. On his record also are split deci- sions with lazy Jannazzo and Fritzie zivic, former worlds title- holder. On both these occasions the referee voted in favor of Theo- dorescu.
 Remembering hectic setto with the Cocoa Kid in New York gym- nasium, in which the New England welterweight contender was hoored twice, Milo is so confident of SCOT. ing victory in a scheduled affair with smaller gloves. that he has been urging his new managers, Jimmy Tarantino and Bill Duffy to match him with the Kid ever since they signed him to a contract.
 The Cocoa Kids board of strategy also remembered the two knock downs their charge suffered at the hands of Theodorescu in the gym workout and were heSitant about signing for the match. Only after
