ROCKY DRILLS HARD FOR COMEBACK TEST Kansas Preparing Diligently for Six-Round Bout With Joe Trippe Friday

_ Rocky Kansas, one-time lightweight champion of the world, is working hard in Oriole gymnasium these after noons in an attempt to be in good physical condition for his comeback test against Joe Trippe in Broadway auditorium Friday night. _ Kansas has been training for nearly three months and had high hopes of regaining a bit of the prestige, glory and fortune that once was his. _ If successful in his early test, Rocky aspires to take on Benny Leonard, his former arch rival, who also is treading the comeback trail. A Kan- sas-Leonard match in Buffalo, pro- viding that both maintain a winning gait, should be one of the best drawing cards of the season. _ The burly little Italian still retains much of his popularity among the Buffalo fistic colony and Kansas is sure of having hundreds of well- wishers at the ringside Friday night, rooting for him to clear his first hurdle. _ Friday's show includes 40 rounds of boxing, with a half dozen six round- ers and a four spot carded.
