Pep Favorite To Regain Title In Bout Tonight

NEW YORK. Feb. 10 —(AP) -—- Willie Pep, knocked out by Sandy Saddler in four rounds last Octo- ber, is a gPOWLllg S-to-G favorite to regain the featherweight tilte from the spindle-legged Harlan slugger tomorrow night before e sellout crowd of more than 18,500 fans

This Madison Square Garden battle ls the biggest betting fight in years. A flood of Connecticut cash is swinging the odds in favor of Pep who comes from New Hav- En. Conn. It may go as high as 5 to 7 or 5 to a before ring time. The pick here is Saddler, probably by a knockout. long before the 15- round iimiit.

Charles said he always idolissd Louis and has often shuddered at the thought of taking a punch at the champ.

TING AFTER GAME

'l"ho Charlottetown Abegweit hockey squad certainly had a bad night here Wednesday when the Amherst Ramblers downed them by a. 4-2 count in the first game of a home and home series to de- cide the winner of the reiulll schedule in Central Eenlor Iiocke‘! League competition.

- . - - , Playing a bruntl of hot-key whicni was far below their usual standout! the locals just didn't seem to be" able to get roiling, while lhc Rainb- ierS. clicking wcil on almost cvcry play. easily hcid the Abbies in check. and cxcept for the smart goal tending of Abbic Weeks. the score might have been consider- ably higher than it was.

. - - .

The Amherst defence, botlylng the incoming A‘ le forwards right‘ from the ope‘ , “thistle, took a. lot of fire or of the local boys in‘ the early part ‘the game. and breaking fast themselves and con- tinually backchecking to break up the opposing attacks they pretty well disorganized the local squad‘:- passlng attacks. and very rarely let thorn in for an unhampercd shot on goal. . o a Although the locals battled hard to keep their play organized, their passing was very erratic as com- pared to the Amherst squad, and was the cause of many a datigerous breakaway for the ﬁsitors who were continually intercepting Abbies mis- directed passes. - . - It was definitely an off night for the Abbies, which was partly clue to the fact that they had n tough game the night before in gCity Hockey League encounter. a o o - Because of the fact that the game was only one of two to deride who wins the lop position in Cont- rai League competition. tho loss doesn't mean such a great rleai. as win or lose in the series the Ab- bies will still be in at least second place going into the playoffs. It ls probably just as well that they got their off night out of their system when it cdﬂld do them little harm. and now they can look forward to better nights to come in playoff competition. O O O O As this comment was written prior to the outcome of last night's final game at Amherst. in the home and home series, this column of course can't comment on the final result of that game. or how the Albbies fared out in the en- counter. But the writer feels that in any we they will have made s much better account of themsel- ves than they did here on Wednes- day night. O O O With the weather conditions be- ing as they have during the major Dart of this winter, it looks like local siding enthusiasts will have to turn to such other fields of sport as golf. badminton, hockey or basketball in order to keep up their athletic endeavour and guard Bgainst an infreasing waistline. O O O

With practically a snowicss sea- son to date. the winter has been a really disappointing one for those W110 like U16 thrilling art of gkllng and with the exception of about two days prior to Christmas when n few local enthusiasts did get out for a short run on Tea Hill, the "he" 1115-11’!

O I

Curling fans at Alberton should witness some keen competition. In all four clu-b tournaments to dot-id» the representatives to take part in the finals, the said competition has been very. very keen with the mal- orlty of the matches going right to the final end before the winners were declared and this should hold true today when the four finalists take to the ice in search of top honors in the event.
