The WAC singled out for praise
by other passengers was Pvt. Dorothy
Delaney of Oak Park, H., who
stepped off the train with her arm
in a sling Her arm was injured, she
said, when the car she was in tipped
over and baggage and passengers
from across the aisle fell into her
berth.
Instead of getting treatment, she
tossed her CT overcoat over her
satin nightgown, climbed through a
window and helped bandage the vic
tins. She said the WAC with whom
she shared her berth was in a hos
pital with other survivors, suffering
from frost-bitten feet. Both girls
had taken no time to put on their

principals represent defense-indus-

recognized In New York state as

his record string Of SO straight pro-
fessional victories against a heavier
opponent, StOlz Of Newark, N. j.,

the New York version Of the feath-
erweight crown from ancient Chalky
Wright. More than 5000 Connecti-
cut fans were in the Garden that
night, despite transportation dif1
culties, and the advance ticket sale
indicated a similar representation
tonight.
This is the test-of- fire bout for
both principals. If featherweight
Pep can lick lightweight Stolz, his
admirers will have good reason for
calling Wee Willie a great fighter
not just another feather title
holder. And Pep then can force
