College ALL Stars To Tackle
Packers At Chicago Thursday
BY EARL HILLIGAN

CHICAGO, Aug. 24-LR)-The Col
legiate All-Stars, aiming at dead
lock-breaking victory over their pro-
fessional rivals, will "go by air.
against the Green Bay Packers at
Soldier Field next Thursday night.
This weeks gridiron spectacle,
which will be witnessed by another
sell-out crowd of apprixamtely so,-
900 spectators, will be the seventh
in all stars professionals series. Each
side has won twice, with two games
tied. And as the collegians near the
end of their training period it is ap-
parent they will try for victory with
a passing game-one which may pro-
duce the most spectacular tilt in the
series history.
DR.. Eddie Anderson, head coach of
the All-stars, knows that Green Bay
has one of footballs all-time great
pass combinations Arnie Herber
and Cecil Isbell tossing to Don Hut
son. He knows that the Packers may
score quickly through the air and
that only working pass attack could
put his team back in the game.
Three players who may do most of
the All-Star flinging are Nile Kin
ncik, Iowa's No. 1 back of the 1899
season, Kenny Washington of U. c.
L. A. and Ken Heineman of Texas
Mines. All are great passers, with
Washington the type of speedster
able to break Up the game with run
should an opportunity bob up.
A nationwide poll of fans named
this starting lineup: Ends, Bill Fisk,
Southern California, and Esco Sark-
dinen, Ohio State; Tackles, Nick
Cutlich, Northwestern, and Joe Boyd
Texas A. and M; Guards, Harry
Smith, Southern California, and Jim
Logan, Inliana; Center, Clyde Turn
er, Hardin-Simmons; Quarterback,
Amby SCHNEIDER, Southern Califor-
MIA; Halfbacks, Nile Kinnick and
Lou Brock, Purdue, and fullback, Joe
Thesting Notre Dame. It's likely that
some of them won't be in there very
long.
Right now, DR.. Anderson likes"
this backfield; Frank Emmons of
Oregon at quarterback, Kinnick and
Washington at the halves and Harold
Van Every of Minnesota at full
back. Emmons is great blocker, a
boy who likes the trough going"
H;r,;ol> op, XHyo ebirrrto, oop do o.
erything well. Van Every is triple
threat back fully capable of meeting
any situation.
With that backfield, DIR. Anderson
is keeping these backs for instant
replacement duty: SCHNEIDER, Bob
Kellogg of Tulane and Banks Nc
Fadden of Clemson, fine open field
runner and the best all-around punt
er on the squad. In front of those
backs these linemen likely will see
heavy service: Left end, Ken Kav
Louisiana State, whose pass
catching ability has been well prov
ed; left tackle, Ed holman, Temple;
left guard, Mel Brewer, Illinois; GEN.
ter, Turner; right guard, Smith,
right tackle, Lee Artoe, California
and right end Frank Ivey, Oklahoma.
Still another backfield ready to
move in has Bob Hoffman, Southern
California's fine blocker, at quarter;
Halfbacks Ben Sheridan, Notre
Dame and Heineman; and Fullback
Dom Principe of Fordham, who can
back up the line.
On Tuesday night the All-Stars will |
work out at Soldier Field. They'll |
work out again Wednesday in |
Evanston before moving to the loop
morning. The Packers,
who'll enter the game about 8.5 IA
vorites, will work under the lights |
of Soldier Field Wednesday night.
Here is the record of the past six
contests, which have drawn approx
mately 100000 fans: 1934-scoreless
tie with the Chicago Bears; 1885,
