Lombeou Calls AII-Stors
Good as 1855 Winners

CHICAGO. Aug. 7 R.-
Coach Curly Lambeau believes
his 1857 College All-Stars are
every bit as good as the 1855
team which trimmed Cleveland
and that they are capable Of
whipping the New York Giants
Friday night.
The two teams clash at Sol
der Field. The game win be
televised nationally (WMAL in
Washington. $3.50 p.m).
Lambeau, not one to make
rash predictions, compares his
present stars with the 1855
team which edged the Browns,
30-27. in q real thriller won OF,
a field goal by Ohio States
tiny Tad Weed.
II think they're every bit as
good as the 1855 team" LAM
beau said. They've shown me
they are capable Of beating the
Giants.
1.-THE 1855 team" he con-
tinued, was very good and
had q lot Of spirit and was
strong both on offense and de-
fense."
Pros Lead Series
Lambeau also coached the
1856 All-Stars who lost to the
Browns. $50. Lambeau. who
founded the Green Bay Packers
and coached them through
1850. said the 1855 team was
good but 1t did not have
enough good men, adding that
the Browns that year were
much BETTER
In some quarters. the present
All-Star squad has been praised
as one Of the greatest. How
ever, lining up q mass of great

The Giants are q well-knit

q vigorous campaign to win a
championship. The All-Stars
are q group Of individuals.
Air Attack Planned
In every All-Star victory,
the factors of teamwork and
spirit have prevailed. And

month.
Lambeau has surrounded
himself with professional as
sistants in Hunk Anderson,
Tony Canadeo, Don Paul, Don
Doll and Otto Graham. All are
rich In pro experience. but Ora
ham is the key man. Z
Graham has been working
with Quarterbacks Paul Hor-
nung Of Notre Dame, Jim
Harris Of Oklahoma, Len Daw-
son Of Purdue and John Brodie
Of Stanford.
The Stars know 1t is virtually
impossible to run and beat the

to come through the air.
II want q cool crisp night so
that we can handle the ball"
Lambeau said. WED like to

The weatherman appears
ready to comply. No rain is
forecast and temperatures
along the lakefront are ex-
pected to be cool.

Hank Bauer greeted Stobbs
with a leadoff homer In the
first inning last right and that
would have been sufficient with
TURKEY in such complete com.
mand. Bob walked TWO in the
first inning. Thereafter the
only Senators to reach base
were Lemon and Schult. who
singled, successfully in the
fourth with two down end
again in the seventh.

Faye Throneberry famed and
Pinch Hitter Julio Hecquer
dashed q liner to Second Base
man Bobby Richardson. who
converted 1t into q double play
with a toss to Gil McDougald
that caught Lemon on second
base.
The Yankees picked UP a run
in the second inning after Tony
Kubek scratched a. single,
Boiling dropped Richardson's
pop down the right field line
for a three-base error, enabling
Kubek to score.
The Yankees increased their
margin to 80 in the fourth or
successive singles by Berra
Howard and Kubek. and added
their final run in the fifth after
Boiling dropped McDougald's
liner. That was scored as a
hit and Mickey Mantle followed
with q pop fly single to center,
sending McDougald to third.

Lemon broke an 0-for-17 streak
BY beating out a slow roller

Turley isn't helping the
Yankees at bat. but there are
no complaints. He has

the attic area, and when the
rafters and sheathing become
cold condensation takes place.
and especially during the winter
the moisture would freeze on the
surfaces. When a thaw sets in,
this frozen moisture drips down
onto the ceiling below. The solu-
ton of a problem of this kind
is to provide ventilation by in
stalling lowers. Lower openings
should be at least one square
foot for each 800 square feet of
horizontal attic space. If a CHM
ney is nearby. leakage may occur
at the flashing between the roof
and chimney. This should be
checked.
QuestiOn-The plaster on the

the chimney ends and the gyp-

remedy?
Answer-The fact that plaster
becomes powdery is an indica-
ton Of the presence of moisture.
I will assume that this is an out
side chimney and the condition
is caused by seepage of moisture
through open spaces between the
chimney and the outside walls.
All such spaces should be filled
with a caulking compound ap-
piled with a caulking gun.

Wax Gives
LuStre to
VinyI Tile
BY ROGER C. WHITMAN

Question: would like to
know what product, if any.
could use to obtain a gloss on
vinyl tile. I have tried various
kinds of floor wakes, but to no
avail. In fact, have had to
use steel wool on the tile in
order to remove completely the
wax. since it was giving the floor
a dirty appearance.
Answer - Only wax can be
used on vinyl tile to give it a
lustrous appearance. You might
try one of the liquid floor wakes
that are advertised as having
q hard-gloss finish. If. after one
or two applications, the floor
appears dull, you might try
adding more lustre by buffing the
wax With a floor polishing ma
chine.
Newsprint on Floor Finish
Question When we pur-
chased the house, former occu-
pants had placed newspapers on
new floors under the linoleum
When we took up the papers and
washed the floors thoroughly the
newsprint was still on the sur
face of the finish. What will re-
move this?
Answer-If the print has not
penetrated into the finish you
should be able to remove it by
rubbing lightly with 1000" steel
wool and turpentine. Rubbing
should be with the grain of the
wood. When clean. polish with
paste floor wax.
Moisture in Ceiling
QuestiOn-We bought a home
with a raised roof so that there
is an upper fiat. During the
past spell of wet weather, I have
found that the ceiling leaks. My
husband has crawled in between
the ceiling and roof and can find
no place or sign of leakage.
Could rain come in through the
siding?
An5wer-From the description
given. l think your problem is
one of condensation. In other
words. moisture accumulates in
