Caption: HFP031702-3/17/58-HARTFORD, CONN.: Former feather-weight champion Willie Pep of Hartford, chats with his son William Papaleo, Jr. before the boy steps into the ring for his first bout (3/15), which he lost in a decision. The younger Pep joined the Police Athletic League unknown to his father, but does not intend to follow in his footsteps. He would rather become a doctor and mend bodies than rip them apart.
