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

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.

VICTORY STREAK
Philadelphia, Feb. 17 (U.R)
The University of Pennsylvania,
newly crowned eastern intercol
legiate champions, handed Army
its first basketball defeat in two
years tonight with a 61-52 vic
tory before 11,505 fans in the
opener of a Convention Hall
doubleheader.
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. Army cur
rently was riding the crest of
n straight which gave it top
notch ranking among the na
tion's teams.
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.
