Sam" OF Texas Christian Uni
~ versity-is all the foot ball
player anybody ever said he was, as
the professional champion Green Bay
Packers will arise en- masse to at
test.
The Packers had heard about Baugh,
but they had to wait until last night
At Soldier Field, with a thrilled throng
Of $500 fans looking on, to get it
first hand. They became the first
professional team to take 4 bea ting
from an all-star college aggregation,
and 1t was Baugh who was the No. l
hero OF the collegians' 6-to-0 tri-
umph.
The former Texas Christian ace was
expected to give Green Bays Amir
Herber quite battle at passing, but
he wound up by outshining his pro-
fessionAl rival At throwing the foot
ball when the blue chips were down,
and did 4 lot of other things be-
sides.
Baugh Directs Battle.
EARLY in the first period Baugh,
director Of the battle plan laid
out by Coach Charles Z. (Gus) Do
rails Of the University OF Detroit, head
OF the All-StAr board of strategy,
started the one successful thrust OF the
night by quick kick over the Packer
goal line. The return boot by Clarke
Hinkle, the Packers great fullback.
went out Of bounds on the collegians'
48-yard line.
Baugh called two running plays,
then electrified the huge crowd by un-
corking the pay-on pass Of the game,
20-yard shot to Gaynell Tinsley.
Louisiana States all-America end.
Tinsley caught the ball 2S yards from
the Packer goal. executed neat
change OF pace to leave Hank Bruder
clawing the air and raced to the
touchdown.
Sam Francis. Nebraska's all-Amer-
lea fullback, failed on the try for the
extra point. but it never was missed.
Is the All-Stars. with Baueh one
OF the main characters, played an al
most alright defensive game the rest
Of the way.
ColIekians Far Outxa ined.
HE professional champions tried
everything in their bag OF tricks
TO night their way to victory With
Herber firing passes and George Sa der
and Joe Laws running with the ball,
they outgalned the collegians in first
downs, II to 8, and in total yard
age, 343 to ls5, but their best was a
rousing 73-yard drive that fell 3
yards short Of 4 touchdown in the
second period.
A 20-yard pass by Herber to his
famous battery mate, Don Hu.son.
who ran another 20 yards before he
was brought down, took the ball to
the All-Star 25-yard line. The one
big Packer opportunity WAS snuded
out, however. when John Drake of
Purdue, nailed Hutson. who had snag-
Ked Herber's fourth down pass on the
S-ydTO line.
Baugh intercepted one of Herber's S
long shots in the third period and
ran it back ~ yards and out Of dan
ger. He snatched another in the
flnal session and on and OF turned
in a brilliant exhibition OF punting
and tackling. Herber was forced out
OF action in the third quarter by a
badly wrenched right shoulder.
In spite Of his brilliance on the
gridlron. no team in the pro league
will have the use OF Baugh's remark
able talents. Instead Of playing the
game for dough, he has signed 4
contract with the St. Louis Cardinals
As an infielder and will confine his
foot ball to coaching.
