New York, Nov. 4. —W*—Red-
haired Bob Murphy, an explosive
southpaw light heavyweight from
8in Dtr~o Calff.. required but
hree r. nutcs o.' fighting last
.ught to tonvmce the experts he
could be a “shot in the arm’’ for
Eastern boxing.
Making his Eastern debut at
Little St. Nicholas Arcana, the
former sailor floored Dick Wag-
ner and gashed his upper lip so
deeply that Dr. Alexander Schiff
ordered the bout stopped before
the bell could ring for the second
round.
Murphy won on a technical
knockout in the first round, accord-
ing to New York State rules. It
was his 45th knockout in 54 pro-
fessional bouts. Although Wag
ner, of Toppenish, Wash., had been
stopped twice before in bis earner,
he nevertheless was a tough cus-
tomer who had given Nick Barone
two hard fights. Barone will fight
Eazard Charles for .the heavy
crown on Nov. 28.

Hardin-Simmons
Loses to Loyola ‘
* '
Los Angeles, Nov. 4. SB—Loyola
University was still among the na-
tion’s undefeated football elevens
today but only after staging off an
inspired Hardin-Simmons squad, 21
to 20.
Two brilliant T-formation quar-
terbacks provided the Areworks for
20,000 homecoming fans at toe
thriller last night.
Loyola’s Don Klisterman passed
for two touchdowns, both to end
Fred Snyder, and kicked three ex-
tra points for what proved the win-
ning margin. The Texans’ John
(Model T) Ford pin-pointed his’
receivers with long pitches which
set up all three Cowboy scores.
It took three desperate comeback
drives by the Lions to win the
savagely-contested duel, however.
Hardin-Simmons took a 7 to 0
lead after only 12 seconds by virtue
of halfback Bill Cagle’s 70-yard
runback of the opening kickoff.

iod, but the Yellow Jackets pow-
ered ahead to a 14 to 6 margin
at halftime.

Of the pa rat reop action after
hobbMig to the regimental com-
mand peat
By ROBERT VERMILLION
UelM Prw Staff
With the American 187th Para-
chute Regiment in Korea.—W—
I learned the hard way that you
can run into a traffic Jam falling
from an airplane.
I was with the American para-
troopers when they made the first
combat jump of the Korean war,
about 25 miles north of Pyong-
yang. It took the Communists
completely by surprise, and it took
me by surprise, too.
We jumped at about 1:45 p. m.,
landing in a stubble of a harvest-
ed rice paddy just below the town
of Suckchon. The paratroops has-
tily assembled and took the town
within minutes.
JeepA, Tracks ‘Chuted Down
For the first time in any war
theater, paratroopers went down
with jeeps, three-quarter-ton trucks
and big 106-millimeter howitzers.
Both troopers and heavy equipment
poured out of the C-119 Flying
Boxcars/
Enemy resistance was almost
nil. Sukchon was a garrisbn cen-
ter for the North Korean Army,
and its citizens reported at least
a regiment was in the town. How-
ever, When the troopers entered
Suckchon the .streets were lined
with young North Korean civilians
of draft age who certainly must
have been soldiers the day before.
The drop tone was in a wide
valley whose ground, as far as
I’m concerned, ia much harder than
a paddy has a right to be.
We expected a toft and easy
landing when we took off from
Kimpo Airdrome at noon for the
jump. But it was neither soft
nor easy.
I was the last man to jump
from the first plane in the para-
troop force and anticipated no
traffic jam in the air. But I ran
into one anyway.
Had Rider Last 20 Feet
About 20 feet above the ground,
a paratrooper falling faster than
I dropped into my parachute^ can-
opy and collapsed around it around
my shoulders.
As a result, I plunged the last
20 feet without any help from the
parachute?
I landed on my left leg, break-
ing or badly spraining my left
ankle.
I spent all of that afternoon
hobbling from the drop zone to the
command post of the 187 Air-
borne Regiment. I spent the next
day trying to get some place where
I could write this story and dis-
patch it.
The Communists still had not
shown up to fight. We took about
200 prisoners.
The next day—Sunday—was my
birthday, and here’s a thought:

Department Store
Sales Drop Some
Dallas, Nov. 4, Mi—Depart-
ment sales in Texas skidded down-
ward last week, the first time
since Oct. 1 they had dropped be-
low the average for a comparable
week in 1949.
The Federal Reserve Bank’s re-
port for the Texas district showed
sales off seven per cent for the
week, ending Oct. 28, as compar-
ed to the same week last year.
San Antonio sales dropped 38
per cent. Fort Worth was down
7 per cent, and Dallas and Hous-
ton were up 4 per cent and 2 per
cent, respectively.
The sales index for the week end-
ing Oct. 28 was 400.9, based on a
1935-39 average week of 100.

Corsicana, Nov. 4. —Mi— The
body of an unidentified man was
found today by firemen in the
smouldering wreckage of the three-
story Commercial Hotel, which
was destroyed by fire last night.
Earlier it was believed that
every one escaped from the 68-
ye^r-old brick building. City police
said they were attempting .identi-
fication and the room clerk at the
Commercial had advised them the
victim might be a “J. W. Daniels.”
But, police said, all hotel records
except a cash book were destroyed
and they didn’t know where Dan-
iels was registered from, or that
he had not escaped. Some 25
other guests got out safely when
the fire was discovered about 10:30
