As Good as in 1855

CHICAGO AUG st comes time for another game
between the College A-stars professional footballs
champs tomorrow night in Soldier Field and as usual
you viii have to give points if choosing the pros who this
time the New York Giants
But Curly Lambeau, who heads up the staff Of other
old coaching the Astars saying that his 47-man
squad from 80 schools 20 is as good as the 1855
outfit Fond are retained of that squad first to
be coached by Lambeau any other exNationa Football
League tactcian.
At time when the Alstar game seemed to be losing
national interest because of the pros superiority Lam
beaus 1855 team licked the Cleveland Browns 3O-27 in
thriller decided by field goal by Tad Weed let-footed
placement kicker who too small to make the grade
with the pros later
That Ralph Guglielms year in the All-star game
Notre Danes All-American, Redskin draft choice,
played the entire oense although Lambeau had
couple of other topigh quarterbacks at his and
call.
Il had to go with best all the way" Curly ex-
planned later Naturally he didn't to add that he
anxious to make good the new assignment with an
aim toward permanency.
THIS YEARS ALL-STAR squad is big one ranging
in weight from 72 to 265 pounds and there is
expect more than normal attention to be shown from the
Washington The starting fullback for instance
probably will be Don Bosseer well-muscled Redskin
draftee from the University of Miami and five other young
men claimed by the Marshall A. c. undoubtedly will play
Brad Bomba, all ga of him up thataway and 200
pounds spread out all over is the end from Indiana who
wasn't going to sign with the Redskins later indicated
he would. There is another end Joe Walton of Pitt
Of old Tiger Walton Of the Redskins and Ed Sutton
halfback from North Carolina
Figuring not prominently in the Redskins imme-
date plans is the big neman from Pitt Scosone
who drafted but favored Canada When he hangs I'D
tomorrow. 0f San
will be pointing at him. But forgetting for the
moment George Preston Marshalls dreamboat-if he
isn't Bosseler-mght be Jim Podoley remarkably swift
dratee from little Central Michigan College who stands
60 and weighs 1875 or So
MARYLAND GETS INTO THE ACT with a pair of
inemen, Mike Sandusky and AL Wharton Navy is loanng
its star center Wilson Whitmire.
On the Giants side there Dick Modzelewsk and
Dick Nolan Maryland stars during that bright era when
Massa Jim Tatum taking his juggernauts to the
Orange Bowl for the Christmas holidays
The big lead held by the pros in these Al-Star affairs
lies not so much In weight and experience In teamwork
They know what to expect teammates and they
are versed In the style Of play. What handicaps the
graduated collegans is unfamiarity with each other
They are thrown together short notice often
than not are dsointed outfit incapable of facing up to
the highly trained professionals
More than once too dssension has reared its unwel
come head in the A-Stars camps Contrary to what the
promoters to say Of the collegans are paid
more than others, depending upon box-ofice value.
SOME PRETTY WELL-KNOWN coaches have heded
squads which the pros little or no competition for
this reason and Others One Herman Hickman when
he was at Yale Another Jim Tatum a few months
after he had been named College Coach of the Year.
As matter Of fact Tatum's squad was so sorry that
the late Arch Ward originator Of the AStar game didn't
wait longer than the first half to chastse Big Jim his
ackadaiScal young Ward got on the public address
system at haftime and in biting chassed Tatum
This really led to the employment of a pro COACH
Lambeau and Curly in turn hired nothing except assistants
wise In the ways Of pros Hunk Anderson one Tony
Canadeo another Then there are Don Doll and Don Paul
For this game Otto Graham has been added.
Graham may make a world Of difference with the
quarterbacks and the passing He's still young and
expert enough to give em lessons and of their college
records you'd have to say the pupils promising They
Just happen to be Len Dawson of Purdue John Brode Of
Stanford, Paul Hornung Of Notre Dame and Jim Harris
