Busy ViI|emain Beats
LA Motta, Seeks Shot
Al MiddIeweight Title
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Rapid
Robert Villemain officially has
evened his score with Jake La
Motta. Now the scrappy little
Frenchman wants the middle
weight champion to put his title
on the line. He may get his wish.
Black-haired Robert. a 5-foot
6E2 Inch bundle Of perpetual mo-
tion. poured it on the slow-up
Bronx Bull last night to win
unanimous 10-round decision in
Madison Square Garden. It was
a big win for Villemain, 3-to-1
underdog in the betting.
That squared accounts for the
25-year-old Partisan who licked
Jake in the Garden last March
but lost the decision. The YER
dict, one Of the rankest in years,
resulted in the suspension Of the
two officials who voted for La
Motta.
II want La Motta to fight me
for the championship now" said
the smiling Villemain after his
victory. II won the last time. too.
but this time I get the decision. I
am very happy to win. I will
bring back the championship for
my country and Marcel Cerdan." !"
# Eddie Eagan, chairman of
the New York State Athletic Com
mission, has his way. Villemain
will get the next shot at La Motta.
Before the fight Eagan. fluent
speaker of French, told the
gladiators:
This isn't a championship
fight. Whether there will be re-
turn bout for the title depends on
the outcome of this fight"
And there's no doubt that Eagan
feels that a Frenchman should get
the first chance because of Ger
dan.
It was from Cerdan that La
Motta won the crown in Detroit
last June. Cerdan was to have
met the stocky New Yorker for
the title December 2. but went
to a tragic death in a plane crash
while en- route to this country in
October.
His June fight was the last one
La Motta had before yesterday.
Jake showed the lack of work.
He was rusty with his swings,
slow afoot and tired quickly.
He admitted as much.
TOO much of a layoff. I should
of had more work. I've no ex-
cuseS."

Baylor Coach Resigns

BY the Associotsd Press

| WACO, Tex, Dec. 10.-Youthfu
Bob Woodruff, who brought Bay
lor University football from tn,
doldrums, was out as coach to.
dayA-by his own choice. 1ndica'
tions were that he would wind ur
at Arkansas, working for the mar
who taught him his football-Johr

The Baylor mentor quit q
$12, ,00O-a-year job last night be-
cause of friction with Athletic Di-
rictor Ralph Wolf, man who has
been connected with Baylor ath-
letics for more than quarter OF
a century.
Woodruff said, in submitting his
resignation, that he could not &C
cept compromise settlement by
the university Athletic Committee
under which Wolf continued as
athletic director. pending his ac-
ceptance of the job of stadium
director.
Woodruff, who planned to 60 to
Dallas today to attend the winter
meeting of the Southwest Confer
ence, himself indicated last night
that he was thinking of a job at
Arkansas, where Barnhill. athletic
director and head coach. has
promised a reorganization of his
staff following a somewhat dis
astrous football season.

Caps Hoping 10 Check
3-Game Losing String
Against Fort Wayne

There is a rumor floating
around town that the Washington
Caps, like, "the old gray mare"
amt what they used to be and
tonight at Uline Arena they will
try to prove differently. Fort
Wayne, with a. respectable 1915
record in the National Basketball
Association, will provide the op-
position.
Player-Coach Bob Feerick, who
is on the spot in his first year as
mentor of the Caps. says there Is
absolutely nothing wrong with his
boys that victory or two
wouldn't cure.
But lately the Caps have been
on a diet Of defeats. They have
feasted on victory only once in
their last five engagements and
tonight will take a three-game
losing streak against the Pistons.
Whether or not this nose diving
by a reputedly strong club is
Feerick's fault or not is a question
for debate, but the fact remains
he will get the blame.
Already the man-on-the- street
is beginning to point the accusing
finger at the young man who
moved into the place vacated by
Red Auerbach.
Auerbach did produce winners.
Last year at this time the Caps
were enjoying l5-game winning
streak. Two years ago they went
on a 17-game binge and lost only
III out of 60. Feerick himself
played a great part in those i'm
pressive showings.
The Caps, however, have had
their share of hard luck early this
season, with Feerick, Bones Nc
Kinney and Fred Scolari all miss
ing action at. zone time or another
with injuries. Mckinney is be-
ginning to round in shape but
Feerick has not recovered from
knee injury suffered last season.
Perhaps they'll snap out of it.
A victory or two might lift their
spirits and they're hoping to start
off with one tonight.
Fort Wayne is importing po-
tent scoring trio in Rookie Fred
Schaus. former hot shot with the
University of West Virginia;
Charley Black and John Oldham.
They also have Bob Harris. Leo
Killer. Paul Armstrong, Richie
Niemiera. Bill Henry. Bob Carpen-
ter. Jack Kerris. Clint Wager and
Jerry Nagel.
The game will get under way
at $3.50 and will be preceded by
an unlimited attraction between
lCYO and Fort Belvoir at 7:15.

Citizens Told of Public Services
Performed by Radio Hams

Warren M. Andrew, radio ham, 4"
told the Summit Park Citizens
Association last night of the SER
vice rendered to others by his
hobby. as we'll as the interest he
derives from it.
Mr.. Andrew recalled the time
"a few years ago" when he estab-
HShed contact with man who
was snowbound in the Aleutian
Islands and his wife was about to
give birth to child. The couple
was in the Islands on a seal
counting expedition for the Gov
ernment. Ice-breakers could not
get through to them. and planes
could not rescue them because of
fog. Two doctors instructed the
father over the radio, and he de-
livered the baby and cared for it
until the three were rescued.
Mr.. Andrew told of many public
services which he and other radio
hams" have performed. He said
that he has been sending bulletins
to a servicman stationed on Guam
on the progress of his expectant
wife for three months. The wom-
an gave birth to a son two weeks
ago.
