West Noses Out East
On Leforce' Passes
BY the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-Two
long touchdown passes, thrown by
Clyde Leforce from near midfield,
provided the winning scores for the
Western All-Stars in the 22d annual
Shrine charity classic played before
1000 football fans at Kezar Stadi-
um New Year Day. The West won,
1879.
Taking advantage of the fast, dry
field and clear weather, both teams
quickly abandoned any ideas they
might have had Of depending on
running plays and resorted to wide
open passing offensives throughout
the game. What little running was
done was mainly to open up oppos-
ing defenses.
The East, with Nick Sacrinty en-
gineering its air attack in spectacu-
lar fashion, had q small edge for
three quarters but, when the Wake
Forest star was hurt in the last Pc
riod, the West went on to win. And
It was Leforce, the Tulsa University
ace, who made the difference. ~.
Sacrinty had no more than limped
to the sidelines than Leforce threw
q long, low pass to Gene Wilson,
Methodist University's fine
end. to wipe out a 3-point Eastern
lead and win the hard-fought game.
Wilson took the ball on the dead
run and went 80 yards to the goal
line. Leforce place-kicked the extra
point.
The flrst Western touchdown in
the second period resulted from a
Leforce pass to Fred Provo from
the 48. Provo took the ball on the
East's 20 and outran the defense to
score.
Sacrinity was voted the outstand-
ing player of the game.
