COLUMBIA CITY BEATS JACKETS FRIDAY NIGHT Eagles Score 43 To 2“ V ictory Over Decatur ‘ Last Night A wild nightmare of a first quarter In which a burly band of fastbreaking Columbia City Eagles ran up a 13-2 count before the locals could slow them down, was responsible for the Yellow Jackets loss last night on the northern i floor. 43-27. After that weird first quarter, when the Eagles, led by their oversized center. Sauer, bruised, battered and bounded their way over the much smaller opponents, the locals broke through the Eagle, defense time after time for short shots only to see many of them roll around the rim and drop outside. Despite the handicap of falling way liehind in the first quarter they went on to hold the Eagles to a 12-22 score at half-time, outI scoring them by one point in that i quarter. The third and fourth quarters were only repit it ions of the second, with the Jackets play--1 ing their bigger adversaries on 1 even terms, but unable to make up ' for the first quarter margin The. third quarter score was 18-32 for Columbia City.

Jan. 22. —<U.R> —Jim Braddock, Cinderella man of the ring, last night launched his heavyweight, comeback campaign with a stunning upset victory over young Tormuy Farr, of Wales, before nearly 20,000 elatedly screaming fans. Braddock, who lost the world title in his last fight with Joe Louis, came back and fought rugged Farr off his feet in the closing | rounds to redeem a cause that seemed lost in the earlier milling. His amazing rally in the ninth and tenth rounds captured the 10-round decision. Although Jim’s stomach and sides were battered purple by Farr’s continuous body barrage, he came out in the ninth like a youthful boxing master and started driving the carrot-thatched Welshman before him with blows that rained to Farr’s head and body. Tommy staggered backward again and again from the unexpected explosiveness in the fists of the 32-year-old Jersey ex-long-shoreman whom many had regarded as virtually washed up and who had entered the ring a 3-1 underdog in the betting. Farr furiously tried to fight back. ; but he was carried before Braddock's amazing attack in the ninth. Jim continued this hooking bar-1 rage in the tenth, and, although
