Harris Tonight

Logart 'and Detroit's Duke Har
ris, both ranked among the
world's top ten welterweights,

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

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

10-0 defeat at the hands of the
Beavers.

preparation for Saturday's game
against the University of Oregon
Ducks.

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

University of Oregon Ducks,
fresh from a 28-6 upset of Cali
fornia, are concentrating on de
fensive maneuvers designed to

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.
The Bruins spent most of the
practice stressing tackling and
passing. Kirk Wilson, who leads
the nation in punting with a
46.5 yard average, also prac
ticed kicking under pressure.
OSC EXPECTS PASSES

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."
