Logart Opposes Harris Tonight Chicago iltXI Cuba's Isaac Logart 'and Detroit's Duke Har ris, both ranked among the world's top ten welterweights, had ulterior motives for a vic tory in their television fight from the Chicago stadium to night. Logart, ranked fourth, wanted a win to prove that his loss to Caspar Ortega in his last bout was a mistake. Harris, who never had an amateur fight, wanted a vic tory to. "make some of that top money." It will be the 13th appearance of Logart on television, which pays each featured fighter S4,- 000, while it will be the first video show for Harris, who has I had only 26 fights, winning 22. ! 'Plow-Plant' Corn Field Tops Production Rochester. N. Y. (il.R) A new "plow-plant" field of corn has produced a better stand than a field planted in the conventional manner. I The "plow-plant" method plows, fertilizes, fits and plants in one operation. The conven tional method has five or six operations. L. B. Skeffington, agricultural editor of the Rochester Demo crat and Chronicle, said two fields, side by' side, exhibited yields of corn from each method, and the corn in the "plow-plant" field was judged the best. By UNITED PRESS DEFENSE RIPPED Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) The University of California Bears are faced with a problem of com ing up with a defense that will stop the potent attack of the multiple offense of Southern California. Coach Lynn Waldorf had the junior varsity Ramblers running L'SC plays Tuesday, and they ripped the Cal defense to shreds. On most plays it was the deep men who finally made the tackles. SEEXS TO AVENGE Stanford. Calif. (U.R! Coach Chuck Taylor worked his Stan ford Indians long and hard Tuesday in preparation for Satur day's all-important battle with the Oregon State Beavers. The first string worked on de fense against the running and passing of the second and third strings, which used Oregon State plays. Taylor said he thought his team could avenge last year's 10-0 defeat at the hands of the Beavers. QUICK SHIFT Seattle. Wash. (U.R) The University of Washington var sity team has taken on another new look with Coach Darell Royal proving once again that he is the master of the quick shift. Royal, looking forward to Saturday's game with UCLA, moved Talbot George, Mike Mc Cluskey and Jim Jones into the varsity backfield and Dae Le land and Ben Hammond into the line. STEIGER AT HALF Pullman, Wash. (U.R) Coach Jim Sutherland ignored the rain Tuesday and pushed his Wash ington State Cougars through a rough offensive scrimmage in preparation for Saturday's game against the University of Oregon Ducks. It appeared that Sutherland will use Bill Steiger, the nation's leading pass catcher before last week, in the halfback capacity again this Saturday. Steiger played halfback against USC last week and added consider able punch to the Cougar run ning game. DUCKS PRIME DEFENSE Eugene, Ore. (U.R) The University of Oregon Ducks, fresh from a 28-6 upset of Cali fornia, are concentrating on de fensive maneuvers designed to stop the Washington State pass ing attack. Coach Len Casanova said he would give his boys a good of fensive workout today to keep his speedy backfield in shape for the game, which could be held in the rain. Los Angeles (U.R) Coach Henry (Red) Sanders put his UCLA Bruins through a rugged two-hour drill Tuesday in pre paration for Saturday's game against the Washington Huskies at Seattle.

Catching Fleas Big Business In Italian Town Bologna (U.R) To catch a flea around these parts is quite a business; as much as $5 to $10 a day can be earned by a special ist in the art. The flea in question is not the kind that tries to find a home on man. It is a kind of water-flea that hops about and can be just as annoying as its animal-loving cousin. The main district where these flea-catching specialists operate in Italy is at San Giovanni in Persiceto about five miles north of Bologna in central Italy. And the scientific name of the flea is Daphnia Pulex which aquarium owners all over the world know as the most delicious morsel for any of their fish pets. Flea-catchers in San Giovanni are known as "Pulciaroli." Fifty years ago there were over 2,000 of them, but each year since they have dwindled. Today there are only about 100 in. the district, and the "profession" is tradition ally confined to several families. Part-time Work It is believed that flea-catching began at the time when Bologna goldfish were the craze In Vic torian homes of England. Many English tourists took a jar of goldfish back with them. Some kind of food had to be found for the fish as journeys were long in those days. Hence Daphnia Pulex and the flea-catching specialists. It is not a full-time job, usu ally beginning the first day of July and ending about mid-October. The catchers leave their vil lage and stay out in the country for the whole season. They catch the fleas, which are about the same size as a do mestic flea, with long gauze nets as they constantly hop out of the water. As soon as the fleas are caught they are spread out on canvas strips to dry in the sun. Normally brown in the water, they turn a pale gold color when dried. At the end of the season the whole catch is sold to a Bologna firm which packs them in plas tic bags for worldwide dispatch. A label on the packet reads: "Fishfood Natural Dried Daph nia Pulex."
