day laid claim to the middle
weight crown as a result of
his draw with co-champion
Gone Fullmer and announced
plans for a series of European
- bouts.
The 30-year-old Robinson,
after considering possible re
tirement from the ring, in
stead announced new plans
that Included the European
tour, making a movie in Rome
and awaiting a possible third
return match with Fullmer.
Robinson based his claims
to National Boxing Associa

the fact that he never lost the
crown in the ring but was
stripped of it by the NBA.
"Since I didn't lose the title
boxing I feel that the draw
with Fullmer gives me the
right to claim the champion
ship," Robinson said while

"We play University of Mi

look," sayj Feerick, who at
one time coached and played
in the pro ranks for the old
Washington Capitols. "That
team scores 90 points a game
more than any club in the
country."
Feerick, who gels more
kicks out of athletics than do
most perennial sophomores, is
worried about stopping a guy
named " Dick Hickox, who
averaged 22.1 points a game
last year and is up to his old
tricks again this season.
"We are going to put our
best defensive man, Barry
Christina on him," says Feer
lck. "And if he can hold him
to 16 or 18 points I figure
it will be a job well done."
However, Feerick h a s n '
given up hopes of winning.
"I found out the other night
that there are ways to win a
ball game that I never heard
of before." he says. "We were
playing Cluco State and II was
