BY WILLIAM +. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

The world amateur, in connec-
ton with bridge, is really mis-
homer. All bridge players are
amateurs. However, the AM
erican Contract Bridge League
has a rating system by which
Master Points are awarded to
the winners and runncrs-up Of
various tournaments. A player
having ten Master Points or more
is called a Master and is not eli
gible to participate in the anna
teur events.

High octane fuels may give us SO

The motor car industry, since
production stopped, already has

Bears Rate Edqe

In Chicago Tilt
Huge Varsity Squad
Will Use Wide-open
Come Against Pros
BY CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Associated Press Sports Wrltef.
CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-The College
All-Stars and the Chicago Bears
are cooked, primed and ready to fire
their touchdown salvos in Soldier
Field Friday night before an ex-
pected throng OF 101 900 fans.
The capacity crowd. greatest In
the nine-year history of the college
professional classics, and undoubted-
ly the largest for sports event this
year, will pour an estimated $500 900
into the till. At least s160,000 will
be given to Army and Navy relief
funds, biggest single day sports con-
tribution thus far.
Opens Wartime Grid Season.
The spectacle heralds the opening
Of the country's wartime football
season with many of the players,
particularly the All-Stars, scheduled
soon to do their fighting on
broader front.
The National League pro cham
pions have won four times, the ALL
Stars twice, and two games have
ended In ties. The pros have
triumphed the last three years and
most observers believe the Bears will
make 1t four in row Friday night. :
George Halas. owner-coach Of the
Bears and former pupil of All-Star
Coach Bob zuppke, still is regarded
as having the greatest grid unit ever
assembled. Although he has lost
keymen to the armed forces such as
backs Norm Standlee and George
McAfee, he has veterans like Sid
Luckman and Bill Osmanski to carry
on, and several rockies like Boston
Colleges Charley O'Rourke, Adolph
Kissell and Frank Maznicki and
Colgates Bill Geyer to fin in without
interrupting the magic r machine
too much.
The 60-man squad of All-Stars,
outstanding this year for their fight
ing vim and alertness, have reached
that pitch Of determination that
only the old master, Zuppke, can
create. The game win be Zuppke's
bow-out from football after more
than three decades in the business
20 years Of which were spent at the
University of Illinois before he left
last fall. The boys are eager to make
the little Dutchman,s official exit a
sweet one and send him back to his
placid downstate farm, happy.
Stars Plot Wide Open Game.
Zuppke and his staff-Homer
Norton of the Texas Aggies, Lon
Stiner Of Oregon State, Frank Leahy
OF Notre Dame, Lynn Waldorf OF
Northwestern and Burt Ingwer-
sen, Northwestern line coach-have
dreamed up lot Of wide-open stuff
the fans should enjoy. Basically, the
attack will be patterned around a
version Of the T formation and q
single wing with passes being
sprayed all over the gridiron.
Not all the boys will be used. but
probably at least three teams viii
work up quite a lather. The starting
lineup was chosen by fan votes, but
zuppke can substitute at will after
the kickoff.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Ted Will

ing the way to all the other major
league hitters, but the security of
the two batting champions is being
threatened seriously as the season
dwindles.
Williams, the willowy siugger of
the Boston Red Sox, let his average
drop six points to .346 in the last
week and now has anything but a
commanding lead in the American
League over the persistent Joe Cor
don OF the New York Yankees, who
has .337.
Reiser, with a 1875 percentage
one point less than last week, was
endangered by the surge of Enos

from .314 to 1923 and took over
second place in the National League
