Against that formidable array.
however, the all-highs will pit a
combination that is a coaches
dream, Not only is the entire 1945
championship Eastern backfield
represented, but the top stars from
the other schools also will be on
hand, including Techs Andy Davis,
Central's Gene Hammill and Pete
Lerario and enough topnotchers to
make UP four good all-high elevens.
Earl may be right in his predic-
ton, but the all-highs don't think SO.
They agree 1t won't be tie, but
they see themselves on top when the
battle is over. 1t all should make
for a whale of a game.

Servo Got Ring Start
In Bout for Ahearn

Marty Servo, an outstanding con-
tender for the welterweight cham
pionship. recalled today that he
made his pro boxing debut here In
the role of $50 prelim boy in a
show promoted by Goldie Ahearn
on January 8, 1888.
Servo, who boxes Stanley (Baby)
Sims over scheduled 10-round dis
tance at Uline Arena Monday night,
remembers that he won a siX-round
decision over one George Hall on
that occasion. At the time, Marty
says, it seemed as important as does
his championship bout with Fred
die CRedD Cochrane set for Madi-
son Square Garden on February /.
The 26-year-old former Coast
Guardsman concludes preliminary
training for Monday nights bout
at Stillman's gym today. Tomor-

Lou Ambers, the former lightweight
champion, report here and Ambers

ut won't be tie this year. Some

to be U.s."
That is the prediction OF Billy
Earl, key man of the all-prep eleven,
regarding the outcome OF the third
annual scholastic all-star football
game tomorrow afternoon in Griffith
Stadium.
Billy is an authority on this classic.
In the first all-star game, in 1913,
he played on the all-high team as
a representative of Washington-Lee
High School. That one resulted In
a scoreless tie.
Last year Billy played on the all
prep eleven. after starring for Bulls
School, and took off on a 70-yard
gallop that scored the prepsters' only
touchdown of the series. A pass from
Joe Buell. of Tech to Tom Foley of
Eastern accounted for the high
players touchdown that tied up the
game at 6-all.

Sammy Baugh was nursing rib
injury today and did not work out
with the Redskins as they completed
preparations for Sundays cham
pionship game with the Rams at
Cleveland. One member of the
squad said he didn't think the
passing star would suit up" again
before game time. Baugh was on
the field yesterday as the players
moved outdoors the first time this
week, but did no heavy work.
The Singer himself tossed the
injury of lightly and said he would
be ready. It's an old injury that
was aggravated in the game with the
Giants. Baugh denied he could not
kick or pass as a result of the hurt,
but when it was suggested it might
be merely a stitch" in the side he
snorted, Stitch hell. I know what
it is, it's that rib"
According to Baugh the only time
the rib bothers him is when he leans
too far to the side. He said lower
rib seems to slide up under the one
above" but that it didn't happen
often and when it did accur it wasn't
enough to keep him on the bench
or to affect either his passing or
kicking.
Say Squad in Top Fettle.
Redskin officials poo-poohed the
idea that Sammy was ailing and
declared the squad was in its best
physical condition of the season.
Merlyn Condit's eye injury, a
memento of the Giant game, was
almost completely healed. Cecil Hare
was up and about again, although
not quite right, after a touch OF
grippe, and Bob De Fruiter's sore
leg muscle seemed to be responding
to treatment.
Otherwise the Tribe was in fine
fettle physically. but an observer
who has followed it all season said
the team looked lousy" and that it
couldn't possibly win unless Cleve-
land is worse" The weeks weather
apparently put chill on the squads
enthusiasm, for none of the
exuberance that marked last week. s
prepping for the Giant fray was
evident. In some quarters this was
hailed as a good omen, but more
skeptical persons feared the Skins
ended their season last week.

Eagle Only Unanimous
Choice; Waterfie|d
is Close Second
BY CHIP ROYAL,
Associated Press Newsfeatures
&porta Editor.

Cboi 70 GultOI.
NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Steve Van
Buren, the terrific ball toter Of the
Philadelphia Eagles, playing his sec
ond year in the National League, is
the only unanimous choice for the
all-pro team selected today by As
sociated Press sports writer's around
the circuit.
Next to the former Louisiana
State star came Cleveland's Bob
Waterfield, rookie Of the year. The
passing -punting- scoring pro ace,
who did more than any other player
to put the Rams in the champion
ship playoffs, was only one vote
away from perfect count.
Big Jim Benton, teammate of Wa
terfield, not only led the great Don
Hutson in yards gained by catching
passes during the league season but
he also topped the ace end in the
eyes of the all-pro selectors.
Eight in a Row for Hutson.
OF course the honor business is
an old story for Hutson. This is the
eighth straight year the Green Bay
standby has made the top team
while creating new records every
time he caught pass or crossed an
enemy goal line.
Don is one of four repeaters from
the 1914 team. The others are Al
Wistert, 2l5-pound Philadelphia
tackle; Riley Matheson, 205-pound
Cleveland guard, and Van Buren.
Besides Waterfleld and Benton,
the other newcomers are ball car
riers Steve Bagarus, Washington
Redskins freshman, and Bob West
fall, Detroit sophomore; tackle
Frank Cope. eight-year man with
the New York Giants; guard Bill
Radovich. with Detroit for five
years, and Charley Brock, Green
Bay center for seven years.
Three From Cleveland.
As far as team representation
goes, Cleveland placed three men on
the all-pro team: Detroit. Philadel-
phia and Green Bay, two each;
Washington and New York, one
player apiece.
Benton and Hutson un way
ahead of all other ends in 5he vot-
ing with Frank Liebel, Ne v York;
Joe Aguirre, Washington, aid Steve
Pritko, Cleveland, following in thu.
order. -
No other tackles came close to
Wistert and Cope, but votes were
cast for Chester Bulger, Chicago
Cardinals, and Emil Uremovich, De-
troit.
Matheson led all the guards for
the third straight year. Radovich
had to beat out Zip Hanna of
Washington and Augie Lilo of the
Boston Brooklyn Yanks for the
other spot Pete Tinsley of Green
Bay also was we'll liked by the Sc
! lectors.
Brock Beats Out Helm.
Mel Helm of the Giants and Alex
Wojciechowicz gave Brock quite a
battle for center honors but the big
Green Bay pivot man won out by
one vote
There was never any doubt about
the backfeld. Of course the big sur
prise was the failure of Sammy
Baugh and Sid Luckman to get
enough votes for the first team.
Bagarus ran way ahead of Baugh.
Buist Warren of Pittsburgh made a
good showing, as did Ted Fritsch of
Green Bay who lost the first full
back post to Westfall by one vote.
All in all, the 1945 al-pro team
is one any coach would like to field.
it has speed, plenty Of power and
weight. The line averages 217 and
the backs 189.
