Based on their seasons average

route at 16 yards.
More than $2,500 in prizes will be
awarded the winners, to be split

class. In most of the events the
poorer shooters pour entry money
into the pot, only to see it collected
by the hot-shots, but today the

In addition to the class title races,
the State team test is on tap. Each

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Chicago's
big, bad Bears. the professionals
who never have lost football game
in Al-Star competition at Soldier
Field, are taking every precaution
in preparing for their fourth ven-
ture against the collegians Friday
night.
For one thing, Owner-Coach
George Halas has decided to keep
his starting lineup a secret until
game time.
For another, he has had Clark
Shaughnessy. his frequent collabo-
rator on T formation plays and a
precision expert, supervising drills
at the Bears Delaf1eld (Wis9
camp.
Most of all. Halas has had the
Bears getting in plenty of defensive
licks. The Bears ordinarily don't
worry too much about what the
other team is going to do. Their
tactics are based on maintaining
possession of the ball most of the
time.
Scheme to Stop Dudley.
Defensive drill was designed to
stop, among others, Bill Dudley OF
Virginia, who ran wild in Au-Star
practice last week.
"I think every one will agree,
Halas said, that the All-Stars have
superior material this year. They
have another advantage because
their coach is Bob zuppke, master
at inspiring athletes. As for the
Bears, I'm not telling any secret
when I say we're not quite as
strong as we were last year, al
though I'm not complaining, you
understand"
In fact, Ha1as ventured the opin-
ion that his Bears would maintain
their undefeated record in Friday S
game, although he said he did not
believe the margin of difference
would be as great as last year
when the Bears won. 37-13. The
Bears also triumphed in 1885, to 0
but in the All-Star inaugural game
in 1884, they were held to a score
less tie.
Shaughnessy Takes Charge.
Shaughnessy,- now coach at the
University Of Maryland, took charge
of yesterdays offensive operation:
and drove two squads through 6
! long round of running and pass
ing plays. While one team was ex.
ecuting a play the other was In 9
huddle. So fast was the tempo that
at one point the squads were aver.
aging six plays a minute.
The All-Stars also went through
a snappy rehearsal yesterday ane
tonight will hold brief session un-
der the lights at Soldier Field.
The ninth annual contest, to h
played for Army and Navy relief
already is assured of record at
tendance of 101 900.

Hard Days Coming

If our Connecticut country side is swept by any blizzardS this coming win ter, it's going to be tough on the motor istS who must use the state highways in going to and from their daily pursuits According to State Highway CommiS- sioner William J. Cox, ConnectlcutS record of keeping highways open despite the severity of the weather will probably take nose-dive this coming winter.
 Scarcity of materials and labor is the answer, according to Commissioner Cox. Well, if the state is going to find it hard to keep it's highways cleaned, we presume In some degree our cities and towns Will, too. With the average city, though, 1t will be more a question of labor than scarcity of materials, for cities like Wa

 Of recent years it has been remarkable how quickly our state highways have been zIeared. Long before city streets are sui *sciently paSsable to permit chains to be seu1oved the highways are swept bare ana ,notorists have to take chains off to avoid =sreaking them Fortunately for the State #sphway Department there won't be the sei1eral traffic through the winter months Fhaf we have become accustomed to-

tion starts. We don't think thereT be much difficulty in making the city's quota of 25 pounds per person, but we want to do better than that. We want to clean the city from top to bottom, from one side to the other of all idle scrap. And why.
 Unless there is made available seven teen million tons of iron and steel scrap in the next few weeks, some steel mills are going to have to close down this winter. The steel that they will not be able to make cannot, obviously, be used for ships, air. planes, tanks, guns, shells, bombs, for any of the weapons which our soldiers and Sail- ors and maripeS need to fight the Germans and the Japanese.
 For lack of these weapons battles can easily be lost, even the war itself. For lack of these weapons, lives would be Sacri- feed. It's up to us to keep the scrap mov- ing to the mills all winter long. That can only be done by such an all-out effort as is now going on here in Waterbury with Implications all over the nation. Don't overlook one bit of scrap; don't let us over- look your pile of scrap next week.

Lend-Lease in Reverse

Through the reverse operation of lend lease, through supplies made available by the British to our expeditionary forces, much valuable shipping space is being saved. This, of course, is of infinitely more import now than the bookkeeping entries which somewhat reduce the charges against our allies.
 But also, we are getting help here at home. British planes, excellent for anti submarine patrol, have released the newer models to go across for combat service. British barrage balloons help to safeguard the Pacific coast, British anti aircraft guns await the Luftwaffe on the east coast, and British corvettes help to protect coastwise conovys.

Down in New York City, where it's cardinal offense not to eat out at least once week 125 restaurants have already agreed to ban meat sales one day week. The action is being taken in view of the present meat shortages and the govern ment's request that everything possible be done to cut down on meat consump- ton prior to imposition of the rationing program that will limit each person to between two and three pounds per week. "Meatless Fridays" shouldn't work too much of hardship on blase New Workers. As matter of fact New York has the reputation of getting the best seafood there could be obtained. Any such plan as this always succeeds only if there is wholehearted cooperation on the public. New York is big city, but it's really just magnified copy of most American cities What New York does others can do on a different scale. If "meatless" days will help win the war, then by all means let's all enjoy them.
