East And West
Teams All Set

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. "a. W.p)-
With the West looking to its CO.
captains-Ted Beckett and "Bochey"
Koch-for inspiration and the East
reveling in such names as Macal,lso,
Bruder and Woodwork, plans for
the all-star game to be staged here
Saturday moved forward pace to-
day.
Despite the array OF names as
sembled by the East, it was gener-
ally agreed that the western boys
have more than a fighting chance.
According to Dick Hanley, North
western coach, who with Andy Kerr
is acting as mentor for the east,
the west has the best chance it has
had since 1927 and will have again
until 1882.
Injuries to Vanbibber, Purdue $
lengthy tackle, has considerably
handicapped the eastern team. Even
if he is able to play Saturday, as
he says he will be. his lack of prac-
tice and the stiff knee he will be
forced to carry with him, will prove
hampering.
