By Jack 11111111 NEW YORK, Jan. ‘l —\AP) - Rugged Steve Belloise, veteran Bronx middleweight. slugged out u tiiiaiiirnous 10-110111141 decision to- nig-ht over Robert. Viiieniain, gaunt Frenchninii making his American dobut. in a1 blood-sputtered Madi-

sqn Square Garden rin-g. The fighters drew a tremendous ovation from the big crowd at the

finish. Belloise weighed 157 1-2, Viliemaln 159 3-4.

The stocky little fuenuhtman, bleeding freely tram cuts around

both eyes, made a smashing hi: with the turn-out of 11.863 who tiaid $15,968 for the first Garden show of the New Year.

Referee Eddie Joseph had it. close. 6-4 111 1111101‘ of Belloise. Judge Har- old Barnes had it Belloise 7-2 with one even and Judge Art Aideita had it Belloise 7-3. The AP score curd voted for Belloise 1 8-1 with one even.

There were no knockdovvns in the furious battle that was much more exciting than the unanimous vote would itidicate. Belloise threw the harder punches but Villemain caught the fancy of the custcitncrs with his gameness.

When the squat Parisian rallied in the eighth. it sounded as though

they meet the strong hand of S. l). L‘. pitckstcrs 111111111 they clash iitxl is hard to fort-tell, hut it isl t1 cinch that the Navy tire goingl tti have to tghtoii 11p their belts if they want to lioltl on to theirl leadership 11nd prcvciit 1.1 fourth‘ consecutive defeat.

The peculiar part of the whole situation is the fact that indivi- dually, the Navy have probably the best hockey mintcriiii in the league to work with. but lack the‘ tcnin play that their 0111101101115‘ have been exhibiting of lute, dC-t spite the fact that 1111111 for maul they 1111110111 11s finishe-‘i :1 crew 11s

The engine roared: the covered runway slipped by faster- and faster and before I knew it we were 111 the air. Going according

to a. pre-arranged plan t-he Pilot. “an,

followed the North River to its head. Flying at 500 fcct 1t was pas- slble to count single blocks swim- ming in the open creeks. There was a sizeablc flock feeding in itfolyneaurvs spring. The visibility was perfect. It was good to watch the snow bianketted countryside unrecilng beneath the plane and the farm dogs ltinnberiiig tluougii the snow in effort to chase this strange bird that made so much noise. I had my liitle black book S11 my 11p wusily engaged 111 jotting down figures and ivtis bcgiiiniir: to enjoy the trip . . . then we hit the Crooked Creek arca of lv-hettt- ley Rivcr and New Glasgow.

One moment thc tiiane would be {lying along as smooth as silk and the izcxt the Pilot would sud- dcnly shout: "Thercs a bunch" and tip the ivings so steeply on‘: had the impression of gazing straight. down. Before one had time to catch ones breath there would be a dizzy pivot. and we'd

be headed back the way we had come. Then: "There's another bunch" from the Pilot 11nd iigniti

I'd have thc impression of b01111! suddenly turned upside down in the nir.
