Two male crickets, placed head to head in a small en rtncnrp and nrodded by hu man hands, will do battle. The men who watch the contest bet on the outcome.

Cockfightlng, which origi nated in Asia a great many years ago, still is practiced in many localities. Gamecocks, a tough variety of chicken, were raised for the express purpose of cockfighting. Man equipped them with steel spurs. Even today, when we are so proud of our culture, there are men who sneak away to some isolated area with a trained gamecock, where he meets others of his kind. Bets are made on which bird can cripple and kill the other - a sad commentary on human Intelligence.
