 New York, Sept. S.-(UP)-The All-Americans get another chance tonight to prove that they reall are Al-AnaeficaIls.
 Quite . gang of the scroll-and-en. graved.watch boys have been assem- bled from eastern college to do bat tie with 6 tough bunch of citizens known as the New York Giants pro- fessional football team at the Polo Grounds. It's the annual Eastern All-Star game, and what happens under the lights this evening should 90 a long way toward proving whether there Is any sense In try' Ing each November to pick the il best players in the country for the All-America.
 The star-studded team that takeI the field for the amateurs would cause any coach to forget all about Monday morning quarterbackS alumni who want to, run his team and the professor of chemistry who Hunks blocking back on the evt of the homecoming game.
 Watch 'em glitter: Charlie o'Rourke, Boston College; Frank Reagan, Pennsylvania; Len Esh. mont, Fordhain; Augie ,Llo, George. town: Chet 0ladchuk, Boston Col. lege; Walter Matusczak, Cornell George Kerr, Boston College; Lot dhecas, Georgetown; Nick Drahos Cornell; Ed KonetsiSy, Pittsburgh and Nick Basca, Villanova.

 All of them, and plenty others or the squad, have been placed or somebody's All-America squad. Int best tip-off on the supposed quality of the All-StarS Is that i4 member of the squad were on teams tha' played In the bowl games Jan. 1.
 But what happens when you pu so many stars together. stir 'er1 up add Q pinch of salt and try to cool up Q good football team? The an. gwer is that the boys usually sci their brains knocked out.
 Look what happened to the starry array that ran into the Chicago BeafS out at Chicago the other eve. ming. Or, fer that matter, look a, the record Of the Eastern All-stal game. There have been five gamel played against the Giants and thu All-Stars have lost all but one oi them.
 The lone game that the Easterr All-Stars won was played last year And that one was won because Stanley Woodward, sports editor oi the New oYrk Herald Tribune which sponsors the game for It's Fresh Ali Fund for Children, decided to try a bold experiment. He beat thu bush looking for kids who didnF have very many press clippings but who could really block, tackle anC carry the mall. Tn short, he stOle leaf from the book of the profes. sions, who don't care much about college regulations If a boy can d his stun.
 Knew Their Stuff He came up with such obscure l players as GuEsie of West Virginia Nash of Brown; Obeck of Spring, field; StroSser of St. Vincent anS Rogalla of Scranton. They werl kids who were looking for chanc, to make some regulations. They weren't fed up with praise, breast. of-chicken banquets, scrolls ans watches. And they went out anG beat the Giants, 16 to 2.
 This year Woodward has returnet to the technique of getting bil names. Jim Crowley, Fordham coacl who is in charge of the All-Stars has put together a good, hard-hit. ting team. But Woodweard,s chic worry Is whether the boys are really hungry for victory, hungry enougf to weld themselves into Q smooth. running machine and beat the pro at their own game.
 In short. are they all-Americani and If so does it mean anything ts be an All-American or do you neeg something more than 6 book o newspaper clippings to stop 8 harl driving backs
