NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Put to-
gether as teams. the All-Star foot
ballers are a well-wsI Hoped collec-
ton Of warriors today, but as they
nurse their bruises they have the
satisfaction of knowing they're the
classiest freshmen ballplayers to
move into the professional game in
years.
From last weeks shindig in Chi
cago, where the Bears T forma-
ton rolled to victory, and last
nights party in the Polo Grounds
in which the New York Giants
mauled the Eastern All-Stars. 23-3,
before a sellout crowd of 54,279, YOU
can pick two dozen Of as neat an
assortment of bone crushers as you'd
want to see on any mans gridiron,
Hoya Castiglia Among Best.
Headed by a string of blasting
ball-carriers, fellows like Mime
sofa George FTanck, Fordham Len
Eshmont, Villanova Nick BaSca.
Marion Pugh of Texas A. e. M, the
Stanford speedsters. Norm Standlee
and Hugh Gallarneau; Milt Piepul,
who's trading in his Notre Dame
suit for a Detroit Lions pay check,
and Jim Castiglia, Georgetowfl's
kicking ace, whose 32-yard field
goal saved the All-StaTs from
shutout, these youngsters threw
plenty of scares into the pros here
and in Chicago.
The Giants put the game on Ice
the first time they got the ball, when
old Ed Danowski pitched two passes
to the Stars 1-yard line and Tuffy
Leemans smashed over.
The stars followed with their lone
8 points. Castiglia booted one from
36 yards out, after Eshmont had run
q yards on three tries.
Then. in the third period. Howard
Yeager, late of Santa Barbara, who'll
be a sophomore pro back this fall
carried a kick back IS yards, and a
few minutes later Ward Cuff booted
a 32-yard field goal.
Falaschi Intercepts, Scores.
Nello Falaschi, ex-Santa Clara
star, intercepted a pass 27 yards
out and busted through for the
Giants second touchdown. Danov-
skis pitch to Andy Marefos wound
up the scoring.
OF the standout freshmen, the
Giants appeared to have big edge.
They picked Franck, the most val
liable of the Chicago All-Stars, and
he played a grade-A brand of ball
in his first start for the pros last
night. So did Pugh. who also cams
from the Chicago game, and Vos-
berg, who recovered tumble to
set up the last Giant touchdown.
And from the Eastern All-Stars
they get Eshmont and Lou De Flip
po. Fordham's rugged center.

Topeka. Kans., Oct. 21.-(UF)- Across the plains of Central Kansas six rivers joined their rampaging torrents today to form lakes that flowed through cities, towns, trans continental highways, railroads and communication lines.
 NO lives were reported lost but thousands were homeless, business districts in three major cities and at least Il towns were inundated, thousands of acres of farm lands were under water and hundredsd of head of livestock were destroyed.
 State guardsmen, highway patrol men. highway maintenance workers and federal troops from nearby Fort Riley manned motorboatS, high wheeled army trucks, and road building tractors to navigate throughout the flood area and res- cue stranded motorists and farm CTS.
 Rains which reached il inches in some areas in 6 few hours fed the Neosho, Cottonwood, Smoky Hill Saline, Solomon and Marais De- Cygnes rivers and scores of creeks

Germany Admits Drive On Moscow Slowed-Up
Russian Resistance Has Been Terrific; But Crashing Naz Forces Have Heart of Soviet
 Industrial Centers
BY JOSEPH W. GREGG

United Press stan COrreSpOnoentl
 Berlin, oct. 2l = (U.P) = Ger man quarters indicated today that Russian resistance had slowed down the tempo of offensives against Mos- COW and Leningrao, but teh high command reported capture of the heart of the Donets industrial basin, including Stalino on the Ukraine front.
 The fall of the industrial city of Stalino (population 100000 was described by Germans as meaning that the greater part of the Rus- sian war workshop was in Naz hands and that the rest would soon be taken as result of drives on Kharkov and Rostov.
 But on the central front, the com munique said only that Moscow again was attacked by the luftwaffe bombing squadrons and that Gen. eral Ivan Petrov, commander of the 50th army, member of the supreme Soviet and one of the most skillful Russian commanders, had been kllls ed. His body and the bodies uf hls stan were found 6h the battietaeld lh the Etyknsk area, It WA1 sAie. unofnclal information wAs thAt fighting continued severe on . great arc before Moscow but reliable re- ports indicated that the German advance had been slowed down despite efforts of panzer units to drive more wedges into the defenses lines from the Kalinin sector on the northwest and Tia on the south. !

ABSENTEE VOTE
 MIGHT BE HEAVY
Early Signs Predict SOl- dier Boys in All Camps
 Will Be Heard From

Signs of 6 heavy absentee ballot vote in the city election by soldiers now at camp or on maneuvers gre seen in the first response of the lo- cal troops to letters reminding them that state law now allows them to vote by mail. Town Clerk Mary 0. Kilmartin said today that more than i26 applications for absentee bal- lots have been received, most Q! them yesterday and today.
 Many of the. applicants have de- signated political party leaders aS their agents. These agents are given the actual ballots to mail to the sol- diers, who then fill in the ballots and mail them back to the town clerk, who has the absentee voters choice registered on the machine in their home districts on election day.
 Democrat As Agent
 The bulk of the applications, sig nificantly enough, have named a Democrat as agent. Other soldiers have designated no agent, in which case the town clerk mails the appn- cation herself.
 The applications have come from every part of the country, though most of them are from Camp Ed wards, Mass, and Camp Blanding, Fla, where most of the local guards men and selectees are stationed. There have been applications from Louisiana Texas, North Carolina. Kentucky, and other states.

SECRETARY OF STATE ISSUES GRAVE THREAT Urges Senate Committee to Approve Now Arming
 of Merchant Ships SERIOUS MISTAKE TO
 THINK WE ARE SAFE Leaving Ourselves Cone pletely Open to Invasion By U. s. OvercOnfdence
BY JOHN R. ZEAL


 United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Washington, October 21.- (UP) - Secretary of State Cordell Hull urged the Sen ate Foreign Relations Com mittee today to approve speedily a House resolution, to arm American merchant ships, lest American "efforts at Self-defense come too late. " Hull was the first witness at hearings on the l1ouse-approved resolution. His testimony followed d White House conference with congressional leaders, who re- ported that they would press at this time only for the ship-arming bill rather than repeal of the entire neu- tYality act.
 The hearings were closed, but Hull Issued copies of e prepared state- ment which he read to the Senate committee.
 Hull said 1t was 'both urgent and important" to repeal section 6 of the neutrality act, which prohibits the arming of merchant ships. He repeated but did not emphasize, his previous contention that Congress should repeal section 2 which bans . ports.
 May Come Too Late
 He testified that the condition ot world affairs is such that "unless4 4 Is promptly dealt with, efforts at self-defense may come too late."
