centers and who now is with the
BROOKLYN Dodgers after playing IN

Druckenmiller was Edsel's under
study last year, and probably would
have inherited the job this year
without too much trouble except
that Coach Stanley is shifting Grin
nell from end to center.
He tried Johnny there In spring
practice and he was better than
okay. He's as good now on of1ense as
Gustafson ever was, and If he only
learns to back up the line, Skip Will
have a real high-class center. Druck-
enmiller also is okay both on of1ense
and defense, and in addition ne
has college experience playing that
post. So it seems a real battle is due
between these two buddies for the
center spot.
Deming over at WI. says ne
always had trouble deciding which
of these two boys was the better,
and Stanley probably will have the
same difficulty.

East AlI-Stars' Line
Held Key 10 Game
AGAINST Giants
By the Asseciotsd Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 3o-Whether
the Eastern All-Star Football Team
does as well against the New York
Giants Wednesday night as the Col
legiate All-Stars did against the
Chicago Bears in Soldiers Field 10
days ago depends upon an inspired
performance by a substandard
group of linemen.
That was the opinion expressed
today by Dartmouth's Tuss Nc
Laughry, head coach of the picked
squad of Eastern athletes which
will face the Giants at the Polo
Grounds in the ninth annual game
played for the benefit Of the Trib-
une Fresh Air Fund.
Every one of the $4,000 tickets for
the fray was sold weeks ago when
it was known that Doc Blanchard,
Glenn Davis, Arnold Tucker and
others of the unbeaten Army team
would play.
McLaughry, who coached the only
college team to beat the Giants
back in 1910. summed up the situa-
ton as his 39-man squad wound up
it's preparations with brief but
brisk scrimmage.
I'VE have good passing and
pretty good speed in the backfield,
but the line is not nearly as good as
the one we had in l940,' he said.
But if the linemen are hot Wednes-
day night. we should give the Giants
a good game. A lot depends on
morale and spirit and this squad has
good spirit, but it takes big, strong
man to block a tackle like Tex
Coulter, and this line isn't big by
professional standards"
Andy Gustafson of Army, Nc
Laughry's backfield coach, added
further details. Those Giant line
men are so big that one fills the
space of two players and they can
play rough, too," he said.

; Are Known Dead,
43 Hurt in Explosion
By the Associated Press

NAMPA, Idaho, Nov. 15.-Police
Chief j. R. Mccarthy said tonight
at least three persons are known
to be dead and approximately 43
others were injured in terrific
explosio ion which wrecked two build
ings "jam-packed' with Saturday
night crowds tonight.
Attendants at the Robinson flu
neral home said they had been in
formed eight persons had been
killed. but no bodies had been
brought there. The Walker funeral
home said it had the body of one
unidentified man, about 40.
Chief Mccarthy said there were
about 40" injured in one Nampa
hospital and three at another.
Wrecking crews worked feverishly
at the piles of debris. A report by
Police Officer Fred Cardwell that a
group of children had been play
ing in front of the Forbidden Palace
cafe when the blast occurred prompt
ed most of the workers to search the
front end of the wreckage.
Two buildings, housing the Forbid
den Palace and the Alibi Inn next
door, were demolished when the ex-
plosion ripped through the dark
ness. Officials thought the bias,
was caused by a butane gas truck
which backed into a live wire at the
rear of the building.
