WXN LOSE OR DRAW
You Could Look 1t Up'
BY FRANCIS STANN

CHICAGO, AUG. 4.-Never in the past
has pro football team-and it's always
the National League champion-gone into
a game with the College All-Stars minus
both the man who coached it to the title
and great quarterback who was the key
on the field. But that's how it will be with
the Philadelphia Eagles tonight at Soldier
Field in this nationally televised 18th
spectacle.
In 1858 the Detroit Lions tackled the
All-StarS without the coach, Buddy Parker,
who led them to the title. Parker had
resigned and George Wilson succeeded him.
That was Otto Graham'S first year as ALL
Star head coach and his squad upended
the NFL champs, 35-19. But the All-StarS
haven't won since. In fact, Graham'S troops
were routed twice by the Baltimore Colts,
29-0 and 32-7, with the Colts pulling their
punches.
The Eagles tonight not only won't have
Buck Shaw, who retired from coaching,
but they won't have Norman Van Brocklin
to pick the enemy defenseS to pieces with
his brilliant play-calling and his devastat-
ing passes. Shaw, quiet, Silver-haired,
able, has taken to making corrugated boxes
and Van Brocklin has hung up his cleats
to coach the new Minnesota Vikings
The result is that the Eagles remain
favorites, but not heavily so. This town
today was full of qualified football, people
who felt the All-Stars could-and would
win.
OTTO GRAHAM STOPS Just short of
predicting victory. He looks and sounds
confident and leaves it there But it is re-
membered here that after last years clob-
bering Otto told us:
"The pros should win every year. You
can't take squad of young men and knit
them into a unit capable of matching the
pros in three weeks or so. The pros have
too much experience each knows too well
what the other fellow is going to do"
We asked Graham today if he re-
membered making that statement He
nodded. Eyes, I said the pros should win,"
he replied But that doesn't mean they
will or do win. They're only human, too.
Look at this way" suggested the Coast
Guard Academy coach who was one of the
most brilliant quarterbacks of all THE
All-Stars average approximately one win
in every three years, yet some people claim
they are overmatched. Now, never said
they were overmatched; I said the pros
should win.
"The pros have won how many, IT?
The All-StarS have won eight. There were
a couple of ties. Now, tell me how often
do you think the Washington Redskins, the

The chief victim was Bennie
Daniels, who yielded the two
runs and seven hits in the
seven innings he toiled and
lost his sixth game. He also has
won six. John Klippstein looked
good in relief for the second
straight game.
The Tigers scored a run in
the first inning when they
massed three of their hits. Jake
Wood opened with a single to
centerfield, went to second on
Bill Bruton'S hit to left and
took third when AL Kaline hit
into a doubleplay. Colavito,
swapping out of an 0-for-17
slump, drove in the run with
a ground single to center.
The Senators evened it up
in the third. johnson raped
a line single to center and
went to second as Bunning
walked Cottier. Both moved
up on Daniels sacrifice and
johnson scored as Keough was
thrown out.
Colavito provided the Tigers
with their winning margin
when he led off the fourth
inning with a belt into the
lower deck in leftfield, a poke
of about $50 feet.

Home Run Baker
HospitoIized With
Mild MuIudy

EASTON, Md. Aug. 4 (AP)
(Homerun) Baker, a
Of the baseball Hall of
Fame, is resting comfortably at
Memorial Hospital here. He
was admitted Monday.
A hospital spokesman said
the 75-year-old Trappe (Md.)
farmer was in satisfactory con-
dition. He described Bakers
nalady as "a mild illness of
undiScloSed nature"
Baker was to have attended
the Old Timers game at Yankee
Stadium last Saturday. But he
became i'll earlier in the week
while attending a Hall of Fame
celebration in Cooperstown,
N. Y.
Prior to his admission to the
hospital, Baker visited briefly
with another baseball celebrity,
Bill Veeck, former owner of the
White Sox.
Veeck bought a large estate
near Easton earlier this year.

Star Staff Writer

CHICAGO, Aug. 4-The Sen
ators are through playing in
Detroit this season and Bob
Scheffing, who manages the
pennant-contending Tigers,
says he's glad of it.
The Senators took the Tigers
down to the very last inning
before losing. 2-l, yesterday to
settle which club would get the
edge in Detroit's play yard.
The Tigers finally prevailed, s
games to 4, on the strength of
Jim Bunning's four-hit pitch
ing and Rocky Colavito'S 30th
home run.
The Tigers own a Al mar
gin in games played in Wash
ington. They wind up their
schedule there the week end of
August 25.
"I'm glad we don't see that
club here again this year"
Scheffing said in Detroit yes
terday. "You check it and I'll
bet they hit more home runs
here than we did, too"
Chicago Different Story
1t checked out. The Senators
out-homered the Tigers in
Tiger Stadium, 1910. Gene
Green led the parade with
three, while Marty Keough,
Willie Tasby and Gene Wood
ling each hit two. The others
went to Bill Klaus, Dale Long
and Rookie Bud Zipfel.
Chicago is a different story.
The Senators have managed to
win only one of six games here.
They wind up their series with
a single game tomorrow and a
double-header Sunday. Both
clubs were off today, as foot
ball took over with tonight's
annual All-Star Game.
The Senator'S chief regrets on
saying farewell to Detroit con-
cerned what might have been.
Three of their losses were by
one-run margins, one in II in
nings. And in the three-game
series just concluded, Washing
tons pitching was good enough
for a sweep.
eve give 'em just five earned
runs in three games and lose
two of them,p moaned Pitch
ing Coach Sid Hudson. "You
just can't pitch much better
than that, especially in a small
park like that one where those
balls jump out pretty good"
Nothing But Singles
1--WE had good enough pitch
ing to win again this time"
NJ ager Mickey Vernon
agreed. But that other guy,
Bunning, pitched a pretty good
game, himself"

Chicago Bears and the Chicago Cardinals
have beaten the Cleveland Browns in the
National League?"
YOU COULD LOOK 1T UP" Otto said.
"The Redskins, Bears and Cards hardly
ever beat the Browns Their record is
nowhere near as good as the All-StarS.
And don't forget, these kids are playing the
pro champions every year, not a runner
up or just another pro team. You could
look it up"
Graham insists that he doesn't base
his optimism on the absence of Shaw and
Van Brocklin. He seems to accept Nick
skorich, the young and intense successor
of Shaw, as a completely capable coach.
AS for Van Brocklin:
HE was a great quarterback and
paSSer and it's logical to assume that Van
BrocklinS loss should hurt the Eagles and
help us. Van won the championship for
them after all. But it isn't as if he was
just suddenly gone. Philadelphia knew
he was retiring after last season. They
weren't unprepared.
They've had Sonny Jurgensen stand
ing by for five years. Now he'll get his
chance to run the club If he can't do it
they've got King Hill. From what I've
read out of the Eagles training camp Hill
has been looking even better than Jur-
genSen. You can bet on one thing-the
Eagles are going to try that much harder
to prove, mostly to themselves, they can
win without Van Brocklin."
OTTO DIDN'T MUCH LIKE his 1860
squad II didn't have the ability of this
group" he explained, land the boys saved
themselves in training. They apparently
felt that by game time they could push a
button and suddenly become a football
team. -
This crew today" he went on, "acts
differently. Except for Joe Bellino and
Frank Visited the Navy boys, everybody
belongs to pro team, National or Ameri-
can League. They're pro rockies and they
act like they want to win regular jobs
starting here and tonight.
"ThiS is big squad, biggest I've seen
for All-StarS," Otto reminded. They're
not only as big as the Eagles but they're
onery," he added with a pleased smile.
That's what it takes to beat the pros, a
little bit of oneriness. Add that to a good
passing attack and throw in some speed
and you've got chance" .b
To which George Halas, owners of the
Chicago Bears, agreed today Il said it
before and say it again." HalaS intoned.'
This is the best All-Star squad in 10
years"

Johnson was all over the place.
We had him once, you know.
Kansas City drafted him from

Eagles Out to Stop Be||ino
Pros Picked
Over Sturs
By 10 Points

CHICAGO, Aug. 4 (AP).-Joe
Bellino of Navy, the smallest
collegian, tonight could become
one of the biggest heroes Of
the midsummer football classic
in Soldier Field that sends the
College All-Stars against the
Philadelphia Eagles.
The 5-foot-9, 173-pound ALL
America halfback will be play
ing in his last game and would
like to make his departure a
long-remembered one. After it
is over he will return to An
napolis, starting a four-year
stint in the Navy as an ensign.
The 28th annual game spon-
sored by Chicago Tribune
Charities Inc. will attract about
$1,000 spectators and will be
televised and broadcast by ABC
CWMAL-7 and WMAL in Wash
ington at 10 p.mO.
Bellino is the type of break
away runner and adept pass
catcher the National Football
League champion Eagles know
they must stop. He will be a
marked man. But his last game
could be a big one and he
knows it.
Prepared to Run, Too
"The game means lot to
me-" the 23-year-old Bellino
says. "It's a great honor to be
selected an All-Star. When I'm
so. I would like to see an ALL
Star game and be able to tell
my kids: I played in one of
those once"
Such dedication and high
spirit is felt throughout Head
Coach Otto Graham's collegiate
squad, regarded as one of the
best in years.
We've got three weeks of
satisfactory training behind
u.s." Graham says. Nov it's upl
to the boys. We expect they'll
react like men"
Although a saturation bomb
ing by paSSers Norm Snead of |
Wake Forest, Bill Kilmer of UC-
LA and Tom Matte Of Ohio
State seems likely, the All-Stars
are well prepared to run against
the pros.
The Eagles have a defensive
secondary that could be tough
against passing. But their line
backing could stand improve
ment and, defensively, they
appear only moderately eff
cient against running.
Eagles 10-Point FavOrites
The Eagles have been in
stalled as 10-point favorites al
though they must face one of
the better All-Star groups with
out the leadership and aerial
power provided by Norm Van
Brocklin last season. He now is
coach of the Minnesota Vikings.
The pros have won II of the
~ games played and two have
been ties. The Collegians' last
victory was 1858, Graham's first
year as head coach. They trim
med the Detroit Lions, 1918,
setting game records of most
passes completed (16) and most
aerial yardage gained (293.
In the last two years, the
Baltimore Colts humbled them,
29-0 and 32-7.
The weatherman predicted
humid, warm night following
chance of afternoon thunder
showers.
