CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Unless all
signs fail, a new scoring record for
all-star football games will be estab-
lished here at Soldier Field tonight.
when the Washington Redskins meet
the 66 players voted the best college
senior gridmen Of 1887.
The game. which starts at $50
O'Clock Washington time, should de-
velop into a mad scramble for points
from the opening whistle, with Slingin'
Sam Baugh's arm and the All-Stars'
multiple hard-running backs provid-
ing the teams with the greatest scor-
ing punches in the classics l-year
history.
Previous games have ended in scores
of 90, SO, TT and 60, the 1886
clash, in which the Detroit Lions
represented the professionals. being the
only one in which each side scored
a touchdown. Victories stand at one
apiece, the Bears winning the second
and the All-Stars last year.
We look for the Redskins to become
the f1rst team ever to score more than
one touchdown in this annual in
augural Of the football season, ex-
pecting them to get at least two on
the strength of the arm Of the greatest
forward passer in the annals of foot
ball. The Skin line, experienced as it
is, may not hold the Stars scoreless,
but we can't see the collegians doing
something that the Packers, Giants
and Bears failed to do last season.
beating Washington's professional
eleven.
Skins Plan to Grab Lead.
That is stated in all due respect to
the fact that this is another season
and that the National League cham
pions cannot yet be expected to ex-
hibit the same form which carried
them to the title in their last three
games of 81. Nevertheless, We feel
that the Skins reputation is too in
delibly impressed on youngsters Just
out of college not to leave them just
bit overawed at the prospects of
meeting what will 60 down as one of
the greatest professional teams In
history.
The Skins, especially their line, may
weaken in the face Of fresh reserve
/ opposition in the waning stages, but
the possibilities of a touchdown pass
on any play stamps the pros as a
! threat from any position on the same
| field. That they are banking all on
an aerial attack was admitted by
Coach Ray Flaherty today when he
said that one out of every three plays
would be pass.
1t not only is probable but likely
that the Redskins will pass on their
| first offensive play of the game. for
Baugh is down to start at one Of the
halfback positions. 1t is Flaherty S
strategy to try and grab the lead early
in the game. for he figures that the
All-Stars would be more discouraged
by finding themselves on the short end
of the score than would the Redskins
For proof of the latter, he points to

first offensive play Of the game.
We don't know a thing about the
All-Stars' defensive formations and
thus will have to plan the details of
our offensive as We 60 along. How
ever. 1 don't expect them to use a
f1ve-man team like the Giants did last
year. and because Of the protection
they will require against Baugh's passes
I don't expect them to use seven-
man line. In other words. we've
planned our attack to combat 6-2-2-1

Stars will use.
It's hard to predict what the score
will be because I don't know thing
about the All-Stars except that they're
bound to be 66 darn good ball players.
