The Chicago whip., 1922-12-16
COLORED ALL
STARS DEFEAT
WHITES, Go
Py AL Monroe.

Chicagoans who braved the weat, r
TO see the foot ball game last Satur-
day between picked team of white
and colorcd artists. were well paid.
They not only saw some OF the great
est stars OF all time in action but saw
some OF the best foot ball ever played
in these parts. The final score was:
Coiored boys, 6; Whites, 0.
Perhaps had Johnn; Shclburnc, for
mer Dartmouth player, made a few
more fumbles the score would have
been larger, for alter each of the few
fumbles credited to Johnnie he came
back with one OF the smashes that is
characteristic OF himself alone and hit
the line in a manner that was truly
too much for the opposing front wall.
Robson Also Stars
Another outstanding player OF the
dark side was Paul Leroy Robson.
former All-Ameriean end at Rutgers.
Robson was shifted to taclsle III this
contest and like Slater on the left side
played a great game. Time and again
it was Robson and Slater who COM
bined their efforts TO make holes for
Shelburn to penetrate the opposing
line for gains OF and ! yards. On
the defense Robson was immovablc.
On the offense he was simply Won
derful. On one occasion Paul pulled
4 pass out oil the air from the hands
OF Pollard and ran forty yards before
he was finally tackled. Another pass
resulted in the only touch
Williams Gets in Robeson's Path
Ink Williams, well known in pro
circles and reputed to be the best end
playing professional foot ball. played
Lett end for the team and was as usual
a corkin9 player. Although the work
of Ink" did not stand out so con-
spicuously as did that OF Shelburne
and Robson he was in there fighting,
on one occasion Williams blocked a
pass that was being destined to do
danger to the Colorcd boys. But on
the occasion OF Robesons run for
ior;y yards Williams in an attempt to
rive interference to Paul. was little
too speedy and completely blocked
the path OF the flying athlete.
Blueitt Plays Well
Virgil Blueitt, we'll known athlete
in local circles, was chosen to aid in
completing the lineup OF all-stars
Bueitt was good, yes, very good. His
l,cking was especially good, even
though he was suffering from a bad
knee. Time and again with tic ball
in dangerous territory Virgil was
called upon to kick out of danger. and
with uncanny ability he responded to
the call.
Stars on White Team
The colored boys won, but it took
considerable effort to turn the trick,
for most certainly some of the great
est players that ever donned the grid
iron togs were in evidence on the
white team and they represented their
cause in masterful manner, to be sure.
4 few OF the outstanding performers
were Knoppe, former Georgia star
and full back OF high rating. knopn
was a consistent gamer on the OF
fense and was always on hand when
it came to making flying tackles, at
critical moments. Then at center was
former Notrc Dame AL
American player. recognized as the
best center in professional circles. II
the big fellow was ever better even
when Walter Camp saw him, We have
our doubts. He might have been
good but hardly better. Summing the
contest all ard all we are forced to
say the wonderful piayng OF Shel-
burne. Robeson's ability to snare
passes and the strong defense offered
by both walls made the game well
worth while
Whites Held fer Downs on End Line
In the second period OF the first
half the colored boys showed to the
greater advantage, when the white
BOYS after recovering a. tumble was
awarded the ball on the colored boys
two yard line. First down, two yards
to 60 it looked like a einch that the
white bows world go over for a touch
down. But after four desperate at,
tcmpts instead ot gaining the reouired
two wards the offcndinr boys had been
thrown for a loss of five yards,
