CHICAGO SCORES
in EVERY PERIOD
Baugh Passes For Both
Touchdowns By Stars; Crowd
Of 21,O0O Witnesses Game

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 29.-P-
The battering Chicago Bears proved
too good for the National league
All-Stars today, and before the larg-
est crowd to witness a professional
football game since Red Grange
made his pro debut here in 1925,
won the third annual Pro Bowl grid
encounter % to IA.
Clashing with a picked squad from
their rivals in the National loop, the
champion Bears scored once in each
quarter. The All-Stars, led by Sl1ng1n'
Sammy Baugh, hit the ~scoreboard
on a fluke play in the second quar-
ter, and in the fading moments Of
the half sailed to another tally be-
hind the Texans brilliant passing.
Gilmore stadium, only field avail
able to the pros in Los Angeles, was
packed and additional seats were
hurriedly thrown up. The crowd was
estimated at 21,000. The place nor
mally seats 1880.
The game was not two minutes
old, when the big Bears pounded
down to midfield after the kickoff.
Sid Luckman, famed as a pass ex-
pert, too, fired a low n to Dick
Glasman, his left end. He was tack
led across the midfield stripe n
lateraled to Hampton Pool VINO
streaked down field for the tally.
Phil Martinovich booted the point
after touchdown. The scoring play
was good for 4S yards.
Early in the second quarter the
All-Stars tied the count on a freak
play that brought the crowd to its
feet. Bill Snyder dropped back to
pass, was hit and flattened on the
soggy turf. He jumped to his feet
and, still trying to throw the ball,
let it go just as he was hit a second
time. The ball plopped into the arms
of Ted Livingston, 225 pound guard
from Indiana, and he took two
strides and was across the Bears
goal line. Clark Hinkle, of the Green
Bay team, place-kicked the extra
point.
The knotted count vas short-llved,
however. Chicago, aching to roll up
another huge score as they did IN
it's 1910 rout of the Washington Red
skins for the championship three
weeks ago., took the kickoff, Luck
man running it back % yards to his
own Al. On the first play the ex-
Columbia star fired a long pass to
Harry Clark, reserve end, and he
continued on 25 yards for the touch
down.
With time fading in the half,
Baugh came back into the lineup.
The ball was on his w 20, brought
out after Martinovich had missed a
field goal try from the 36. One pass
fell incomplete. Baugh passed the
next one to Vic Spadiccini. 1t was
good for SO yards. Don Hutson, the
demon Green Bay receiver, caught
the next one for 10. Sammy rlfled
another to Hutson, and a pass in
reference penalty was called on the
belligerent Bears, putting the ball
on their eight-yard line.
Don Looney got the next Baugh
pass on the two-yard mark, and took
the next one a direct hit in the pit
of his stomach, across the goal line
for the touchdown. Hutson convert
ed and the half ended with the score
deadlocked at ALA.
The All-Stars, who have yet to win
this game, were seldom a threat in
the last half. Plasman intercepted a
Baugh toss and ran it back rs yards
to the All-Star five. The big star
line held, pushed the Bears back on
n play by Guard Doug Oldershaw,
but soon the Bears were on the one
and Luckman pushed across. Sny-
der added the. extra point.
Late in the quarter the Bears took
to the march again, and drove SO
yards in five plays after the ALL
Stars had stopped them once on the
three. Joe Maniaci shouldered most
of the attack and hit tackle for the
touchdown. He also added the extra
point.
