CHICAGO, Aug. 20-The annual
lake-front football pageant will be
on display In Soldier Field tonight
when the College All-Stars meet
the champion Chicago Cardinals in
the fifteenth annual game of the
series.
A crowd Of 100000 or more is ex-
pected to watch the collegians
attempt to make 1t three victories
in q row over the professional
champions. Last year the Stars
defeated the Chicago Bears, 16 to 0,
while in 1946 they blanked the Los
Angeles Rams by the same score.
The National Football League
champions, however, hold the edge
IN the series, with seven victories,
five defeats and two ties. Tonight
marks the first appearance of Coach
Jimmy Conzelmans Cardinals in
the preseason football spectacle.
Notre Danes Frank Leahy, coach
OF the An-Star squad for the second
consecutive year, will aim a twin
offensive at the Cardinals in the
form OF T-formation unit led by
Notre Danes Johnny Lujack and a
single-wing combination spear
headed by Charley Conerly, Missis-
sippi's great passer. On the single
wing side also will be such expert
passers as Bob Chappuis, Michigan;
Herman Wedemeyer, st. Marys,
and Howard Yerges, also of Michi-
gan.
All-Star Leaders Ailing.
The college squad Of II players
numbers IA men from last seasons
undefeated Notre Dame squad.
Michigan placed nine men.
College injury lists are long,
though. 1t included Capt. Bump
Elliott of Michigan and Pete Ash
baugh and Bob Livingstone of
Notre Dame. From the Cardinal
camp at Waukesha, Wis, came
word that Bill Campbell, Pat Har-
der, Bill Blackburn and Charley
Trippi were ailing.
The collegians are expected to fill
the air with passes, with Lujack,
Conerly and Chappuis doing much
OF the tossing. Included among the
squads talented receivers are Bob
Mann and Len Ford of Michigan,
Bill Swiacki, Columbia; Tom Fears,
U. c. L. A., and Paul Cleary of
Southern California.
The Cardinals have nowhere
near the depth Of the team that
Leahy has, but they'll have splen-
did passing as long as Nal Kutner
and Bill Dewell are around to catch
Paul Christman's passes, and good
running if Trippi and Elmer Angs-
man are sound of wind and limb.
Buddy Young, former Illinois
speedster, whose spectacular play
in last years rout of the Bears
earned for him the most valuable
player honor, will be presented the
trophy by his former coach, Ray
Eliot, between the halves. Also,
The memory of Babe Ruth will be
honored by the crowd.
College Rules to Prevail.
Profits from tonight's game will
be divided equally among the
United, Catholic and Jewish char
tiles of Chicago.
College rules will be used In to-
nights game, except in few ex-
ceptions. One Of these Is the plac-
ing of the goal posts on the goal
line instead of 10 yards back.
