 ST HEDWICS IN
 EASY VICTORIES

Naugatuck, March 23-The tour ney favorites, the U. s. Rubber company, romped through its first tournament game in the second round of the YMCA basketball tourney played last night at the "" and won by 41-8 score. The Rubber company five easily looked the class of the tournament al- though their opponents, the Horn A. c. could not really test their, strength.
 The St Hedwig's five also showed plenty of fine teamwork in trim ming the Hoboes which last week upset the fire department five. Tho St Hedwigs team won by 45-18 score, although they only led at half time by 16-15.
 The Hop Brook Grill All Stars in trimming the Meteors by 43-19 score, also looked as if they could give the Rubber company five good run for it's money. A second half rally won this game for the All Stars with Stanley Poscavage scoring total of 15 points and Lo- man Gene 8.
 The Travellers with such stars as Joe Rozint and Louis Lockwood in its lineuptrimmed the Killers, 31- 23 but failed to impress, even in victory. Joe Rozint, made some pretty shots in leading his team in Suuires of the Killers also scored eight points but his team could not match the height and weight ad- vantage of their opponents. The score at half time was 15-10 in fa- vor of the Travellers and 21-17 at the end of the third quarter.

With Bill Jones, Al Cignotti and Al Rayt. ckwich tossing the ball into the hoop, the Rubber quintet took 12-2 lead at the end of the first quarter and increased it with smooth passwork to 20-4 at hali time. The second half went smooth ly.

Schmeling Only Braddock Barrier To Baer Battle
By JACK CUDDY United Press stan .COrrcspOMdeMt)

New York, March .523-(UP)- Veteran James J. Braddock stood today us "a glorified contender in the topsy- turvy heavyweight throneroom after his amazing com quest of highly touted Art Lasky last night-a smashing upset vic- tory that topped his nine-month march back from 'pugilism's bone yard. ~.z
 The. last of the great Irish heavyweig hts. who only a year ago was a Iongshoreman barely caring meat and potatoes for his wife and three kids after seven futile years of ring warfare, still heard the thunder of 11,O00 frenzied voices pounding in his ears as he went gunning for a tilt with Max Schmeling.
 Schmeling precipitated the cur rent renaissance in the fight game. He is the. lone barrier between Braddock and a crack at Maxie Baer's title; now that Primo Car nera has deserted Madison Square Gnrden and signed to fight Joe Louis for the Twentieth Century club. ee
 And Schmeling will meet plenty of trouble in the 28-year- old New Jersey scrapper whose pile driving fists gave Lasky the worst beating of his .five-year career and won the unanimous 15.-r und decision. Handicapped by age and weight, and a 3 to underdog in the bet tnig, Braddock bashed and batter ed the Jewish Californian until the 10;143 paying customers wondered what kept him on his feet. i@ #
 The fans contributed $22,426 to sec, the bout, and they got their moneys worth because 1t was a brawl of 'dockyard variety with plenty of slugging. Braddock, one of the hardest punchers in the ring, rocked and staggered Lasky so often that the westerner never attained the form shorn in pre- vious boutss '-
 Lasky outwelghed Jimmy 197 pounds to 182 IA, and is three years younger; but Art won only rounds against II for his rejuven- ated opponent. One of these, the fifth, was awarded Lasky by Ref cree Arthur Donovan because of Braddock's foul. There were no knockdowns; but both were bleed ing at end-Lasliy from his nose and gash in his left brow. and Braddock from ripped cheek.

Princetons Advance

The main attraction saw the Waterbmury Speedboys giving the crack Princeton A. A. of Water town a battle for the first half, but falter miserably in the last two < periods to allow the, Grim son Tide to advance to the semi finals with a AZ to 26 victory.
 Joe Boley, diminutive forward and Ed Dunn, elorgated center were the big point makers for the red clad quintet, each SCOT ing II points. Earl Garrity, highly toute5 SVillanova star, played a fine. floor game for the losers. He scored but one field goal on "Bub- bles" Balinsky, but did very little shooting despite. the fact that he looked exceptionally good when he did shoot, his shots bouncing abound the inside of the irons continually. The Princetons made II of 1S' four tries good.
