CHICAGO, Aug. IL (AP) -
The College All-Stars. fully
aware they cannot "outmuscle"
the Detroit Lions, are expected
to employ a wide open game
when the two teams meet in
Soldier Field Friday night.
you can't run through these
guys" says Otto Graham. ALL
Star head coach who should
know. For years, he passed the
Cleveland Browns to numerous
professional championships.
Wen play a wide open game
and try to win that way" Ora
ham added. you can't out
muscle your competition in pro
football"
The All-Stars will be at least
two-touchdown underdogs for
this 25th annual midsummer
classic which will be broadcast
and telecast nationally by ABC
beginning at $50 pm, WASH
ington time. ut will be shown
over WMAL-TV, Channel z in
Washington.)
It's not often the All-Stars
measure the pros, but every now
and then team comes UP
which refuses to lose. The ALL
Stars have won seven and lost
IS. Two games, ended in ties.
Desire is the important
thing" says Graham who is
satisfied with his teams gen.
eral attitude.
They've worked hard and
haven't crumbled."
Played on Two Winners
Graham will be making his
debut as an All-Star head
cpach but the game itself is not
new to the former Northwest
fn great. He was a member
Of the All-Star team which de-
feated Washington. 27-7, in
1043. He came back in 1916
and helped the collegians take
q 1910 victory from Los An
Reles.
Graham's big problem is to
make a group of individuals a
team in a short time and offSes
the advantage the Lions have in
playing together and winning
the 1857 championship.
The 1858 edition of the ALI
Stars has size, speed and a
taste Of what to expect. Last
week, Graham and his assist
ants took their squad to the
Chicago Bears training camp
for a Scrimmage. The Bears
won. PAT. but the Stars made
a good showing in the second
half.
The All-Stars have a rugged
line which averages 234 pounds
from tackle to tackle, includ-
ing such stalwarts as Center
Dan Currie of Michigan State,
Tackle Lou Michaels of Ken
lucky, Linebacker Chuck How
ley Of West Virginia. Center
Neil Habig of Purdue and
Tackle Alex KarraS of Iowa,

director. with being the first
to report sighting the Ameri-

reported sighting was at Gas

A second possible visual
sighting was reported last night
by five Moonwatch observers
at Manhattan, KanS.
The sighting at AIamogordo
was with a low power tele-
scope, while that at Manhattan,
Kans., was with the naked eye.
The Smithsonian also re-
ceived Moonwatch reports Sat-

ever, those two did not corre-

Alamogordo sighting. It was

Satellite Gave.
Scientists 7
Tense Minutes
BY ELTON C. FAY
Associated Press stan Writer

Satellite Explorer gave its
Army scientist team an anxious,
nerve-twanging seven minutes
by flying out farther from the
earth than had been estimated,
The tense drama in a Penta-
gon Office, where scientists and
Army officers kept q second by
second check on the launching
at Cape Canaveral, Fla. Friday
night, was described today by
an Army spokesman.
The experts had calculated
Explorer would go out as far
as $500 nautical miles from
the earth at, the most distant
point Of its elliptical path. The
estimated time needed for or
biting the earth was LOG min
uteS.
Instead, it sped out to 1000
nautical miles, and came as
close as 1876 miles instead of
the $50 to 300 miles estimated
for the low point. The actual
time of orbit proved to be ISL
minutes.
Instead of arriving over the
west coast of the United States
at LOG minutes on its first trip
around, Explorer showed up
at about 113 minutes.
Almost a score of scientists
and top military officials had
gathered in a suite of Pentagon
Offices as the hour for sched-
uled launching approached.
Linked to Data Centers
In the suite was the Army's
"telecon" room, where the
printing of telegraphic type
writer's is projected on large
screens. With these circuits,
Geographic conferences can be
held by two widely separated
groups. The Friday night set
up linked the Pentagon, the
Army Ballistic Missile Agency
headquarters at Huntsville,
Ala. and data collecting and
evaluation centers.
Things ran smoothly, with
