don, England, was on the high
seas. At his home. hundreds of
miles away. was his Great Dane
dog, "Jeepers Creepers, pet
Fairey had raised since puppy
hood. Suddenly. on that day in
January, a torpedo tore into
Fairey's ship and he was cast
adrift in an open boat. Back in
London on that same January day,
the dog Jeepers stopped eating.
Five days later, the dog began
to eat again, at the same time
barking and wagging his tail with
evident Joy. A week or so after
wards. an American destroyer
came into port. Aboard was Fairey
and other members Of the crew Of
the torpedoed ship. A review OF
events showed that the destroyer
had sighted the small boat in the
bobbing waves at precisely the
time Jeepers started his joyful
demonstration.

Charley Herbert and Bob

Lowry. attackman, are the trio
elected. All were outstanding on
the Maryland team that won 6
of 10 contests this season.
Herbert, Maryland's candidate
for all-America honors. fairly
earned this high consideration.
He registered "a goals in the 10
collegiate tilts and got two or
more in most of them. He's a
6-footer who scales 1875 pounds.
Lowry was Maryland's leading
point getter on the close at
tack, totaling 20 to be runner-up
to Herbert. Moulden, while not
a high scorer. is an able. all
around performer. Herbert played
in the all-star game last year at
Troy. N. Y. and made one Of the
goals for the winning South ten.
It also was announced that
four stickmen rom the collegi-
ate champion .TohnS Honkins
squad would play In the contest.
They are Lloyd Bunting, defense;

took a nice mess of pan sized
fish. Capt. Bridges advises that
in another week or 10 days the
fishing will be even better, with
larger fish to be taken.
Reports of plenty of blueflsh
ranging up to five and six pounds
being taken all along the Jersey
coastline are most encouraging for
later bluefishing in Chesapeake
Bay. Many of these fish are be-
ing taken from the surf. mostly
on cut bait.
Also we have the news Of an
1l1a pound bluefish taken in Palm
Beach Inlet, Fla, during the fish,
ing tournament just closed in that
area. Unquestionably the blues
are coming back. both in numbers
and size. Let's hope there will be
plenty of bait fish in the Chesa-
peake this summer to bring the
blues IN With bluefish competing
with bumper crop OF rockflSh,
the angling should really be some
thing.
Latest reports from Herring
Bay indicate most of the rockfish
taken by trollers and chummers
are in the pan-rock class. The
larger fish which were there
earlier seem to have, moved off
somewhere. Down in the lower
Patuxent in the Point Patience
area. some fair-sized rock are be-

Villemain from France meet
Monday night in Philadelphia's
huge Municipal Stadium for the
Pennsylvania version Of the mid
dleweight boxing championship.
The 15-round bout under the
promotion of Phil Glassman has
been sanctioned by the Pennsyl-
vania State Athletic Commission
as a championship affair.
The commission ruled that
Jake La Motta had not defended
the 160-pound crown within the
time limit of six months and that,
in meeting Rocky Graziano later
this month in New York, he is
not taking on the logical con-
tender.
eff He Whips Rocky"
The National Boxing Associa-
ton, however, declined to go
along with the Pennsylvania
commission, but ordered. La Mot
ia to meet the winner of the Rob-
inson- -Villemain fight within 80
days If he whips Graziano.
Robinson. beaten only once in
more than 100 bouts, and Vile
main, whipped three times and
knocked out in 103 amateur and
pro battles, are expected to at
tract a crowd of around 10000
and gate Of $250,000.
There will be no telecast or
broadcast of the fight.
Beat Jake Four Times.
Robinson, considered by many
boxing experts as the greatest
fighter, pound for pound. in mod
ern ring history. was whipped by
LaMotta but later walloped the
middleweight titleholder four
times. Sugar Ray has been cham
pion of the welters since defeat
ing Tommy Bell December 20,
1946, but long before that was
considered the uncrowned king.
One of Villemain's three defeats
also was by LaMotta. 1t was a
questionable decision and later
the Frenchman squared matters.
Although Robinson at 80 is four
years older than the f1ashy
Frenchman, he is the strong fa-
vorite to win the nod of the two
