The Eagles, who suffered their third loss in as many starts on the young season, held the lead from early in the first quarter until late in the third period, when the Commodores took over the lead and seemed to have the game won, only to have the Eagles knot the score in the closing seconds.

YELLOW JACKETS The veteran Decatur Yellow Jackets looked ip their underclassmen Friday night to spark them to a 76-64 win over the Geneva Cardinals on the Geneva floor. Tony Kelly kept the Worthmanites in the game for the first half, dropping in 16 points in the first two quarters, but the rest of the Jackets had a rough time finding the range. Juniors Bob Banks, Larry Moses and sophomore Bob Shraluka started the locals running in the third quarter and the momentum was contaigous as the rest of the team started to hit. The Cardinals, paced by Dan Craig and Ivan Nevil, out-hustled the bigger Decatur team for the first half, but couldn’t keep up with the speed of the second-half fast-break. Decatur jumped off to an early lead, building up an 18-11 lead in the first six minutes as Kelly hit eight points, but Geneva refused to be counted put. The Cardinals hit three field, goals and held the Jackets scoreless to pull up to a one-point deficit, 18-17, at the end of the first period. Decatur, with the exception of Kelly and Moses, turned ice-cold in the second stanza. Nevil and Craig continued to hit for Geneva and the Cardinals controlled both backboards by out-scrapping the Jackets. Kelly got four field goals and Moses hit one and a free throw for Decatur’s total point output in the period. Craig’s two-pointer to open the second quarter gave Geneva a slim lead, and the Cardinals held on to it to lead at the intermission, 31-29. The lead changed hands seven times early in the third quarter. Both Nevil of Geneva and Jacket forward Stan Kirkpatrick sat out most of the period with four fouls. Banks hit two foul shots to open the third period and the see-saw started. Gene Baxter hit his first six points of the game as the fast break started to click, but Craig connected for a like amount to keep the Cardinals even. With the score tied at 46-46, the Jacket underclassmen showed their class. Shraluka, substituting for Kirkpatrick, controlled the backboards for Decatur, and started to hit. He fired three field goals and Banks hit another as the Jackets pulled away to a 54-48 three-quarter lead. In the first minute and 50 seconds of the last stanza, Kelly found the range again and out-scored Geneva, 6-3, to give the Jackets Mr nine point lead. On each occasion, Kelly got a beautiful pass from Moses to set up the shot. Decatur was hitting now, and continued to pull away to win, 76-64. Kelly led all scorers with 24 points. Moses hit 15 for the Jackets and Shraluka got ten plus a lot of rebounds. Craig was Geneva’s leading scorer with 21, followed by Nevil with 15, Bauman 12, and Yoder 11.

Redskins In Spot For Another Upset By UNITED PRESS The Washington Redskins will whip the New York Giants Sunday and turn the National Football League's Eastern Division into a three-team race if they keep up the pattern they have established in recent weeks.

The Lions are sev-en-point favorites to down the Baltimore Colts (3-3) and the Beats are 13-point picks to defeat the Los Angeles Rams (2-5). In Sunday’s other - contests, the Eagles (3-4) are five-point favorites to defeat the Browns (2-5) at Philadelphia and the Packers (2-5) are favored over the San Francisco Forty-Niners (2-5) at Green Bay. World Records Are Broken In Pre-Olymiiics By ALEX KAHN United Press Sports Writer BENDIGO. Australia (UP)Jack Davis of Glendale, Calif., broke the world’s record for the ; 120-yard high hurdles and Arnie Sowell of Pittsburgh shattered John Landy’s Australian mark for the half mile today in a pre-Olytu-ple track and field meet. Davis was clocked in 13.33 seconds in his specialty, cutting twotenths of a second off Dick Attlesey’s world record set in 1950 at the Fresno, Calif., Relays. But Davis had to go all out to win as he barely edged out his fellow countrymen, Lee Calhoun of Gary, Ind., and Milt Campbell of Plainfield. N.J., in a blanket finish. Sowell was timed in 1:49.3 in Winning the first heat of the 880yard event. Landy’s Australian mark stood at 1:50.4. Audin Boysen of Norway, one of Europe’s top middle-distahce stars, finished second, two yards behind Sowell. Spurrier Outruns Walters j* In the second beat of the 880, world record-holder Lon Spurrier of Delano, Calif., beat Jerome Walters of Los Angeles by a neck in 1:53.0. Leamon. King of Delano, Calif., led a U.S. sweep of all three heats in the 100-yard dash and then equalled the world record of 9.3 seconds in winning the final. Ira Murchison of Chicago finished second. Murchison and Campbell each were timed in 9.7 seconds in winning their preliminary heats. Last Big Tuneup This was the final major tuneup for the Olympics and, considering their performances in the early events, the Yanks looked as if they would at least equal their stellar efforts at Geelong earlier this week, when they won six of the nine events. Earlier in the meet at this agricultural community about 80 miles from the Olympic site at Melbourne, officials had disallowed several local records because of an assisting wind. Meanwhile, Olympic officials at .Melbourne rejoiced over two bursts of good news —a long range forecast promised improved weather conditions next week and a threatned strike of transportation .workers was delayed at least until after the opening ceremonies next Thursday.
