TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE TERRANOVA GIVEN CHANCE 10 GRAB CROWN FROM PEP ' New York, Feb. 17 U.R Boxing's $84 question "Has Willie lost his pep?" will be answered at Madison Square Garden Monday night when Willie Pep of Hartford, Conn., defends his featherweight title (New York version) against Phil Terranova of the Bronx. , Nimble, black-haired WlUle indicated In recent performances that the Hartford "Hurricane" may have faded to a lephyr, al though he is only 22. His questionable showings against Charles "Cabey" Lewis and "Whistling" Willie Roach brought long faces to his hand lers and a short price of 8-5 for Monday's tilt. That's a close quotation on Pep, who boasts the most imposing record in modern ring history: 85 victories In 86 starts. Despite the record, the smart money boys of tin-ear terrace know that Lewis and Roach pro vided unexpected and dangerous trouble for the champion. Lewis floored him and had him close to a kayo. Roach, who swings like a rusty gate, staggered him couple of times but lacked the noodle to put him away. Pep rallied to win both decisions Had the Connecticut Comet met these lads back in 1943, before he went Into the navy, he would have Jabbed them dizzy and left PROTECT Your Car for ' the Duration Hare It DURATOIZED with a MARFAK LUBRICATION Tires Batteries Tire Recapping TEXACO SERVICE STATION H.

LOGGERS QUINT BUSY DAYS AHEAD! m OLMOun OPENS APRIL 28 .The 1943 angling seasons and bag limits for Rogue river and its tributaries have been set ny the Oregon state game commis sion. Open season on trout over six inches in Rogue river ana tributaries has been set from April 28 to October 31. Bag limit will be 13 fish but not more than 13 pounds and one fish In one day, and 30 fish cut not more than 30 pounds and two fish in seven days or In pos session. Kenneth Denman, local attor ney and member of the state game commission, explained why the commission decided to set the opening day for trout in Rogue river and Its tributaries back from April 14 to April 28. Denman said that during the early part ot April steelhead, classed as trout, are migrating back to the ocean after spawn ing and are not fit for food dur ing that period. Denman said the fish are good for no use ex cept to go back into the ocean where they will recover and re turn to the streams. Chinook Closure From September 1 to Decem ber 1 no chlnook salmon may be taken in Rogue river above tidewater. Denman said during this period chinook are close to spawning and are easier to catch during that time. They are more good as spawned fish than for food, he said. This does not apply to silverside and steel head. The game commissioner said the body decided to close the season January 13 because of spawning problems, the same reason Diamond Lake's season has been changed from May 20 to May 30. Denman said he be lieves it is a mistake for the game commission to bring the fish up the river to spawn and then allow them to be caught before they have an opportun ity to 'reach their spawning grounds. - Special Seasons Special seasons and bag lim its: Fish Lake, May 1 to Aug ust 13, inclusive.

Penn's triumph snapped a 27 game winning streak compiled by the Cadets who hadn't lost a game since a setback by Ford- ham early in 1943.

The Quakers appeared to have won the game early in the sec ond half when they held the cadets to one point in seven minutes meanwhile rolling up 15 of their own. The spree wiped out Army's 29-25 halftime edee and reinforced Penn for a late Cadet surge.
