UPV Foot ball's gaudy, glimmering extrava ganzathe 16th annual all-star classic tonight will pit a squad of 70 collegians against the Phila delphia Eagles before upwards of 90,000 spectators in Soldier field. Coach Greasy Neal's National Football league champion Eagles were rated last night as 10-point favorites over the All-Star reti nue" coached by Bud Wilkinson, the split-T mentor from Okla homa. However, the records show that the collegians have some times won when few thought vic tory was possible. In the 1948 lake-front football show, the Chicago Cardinals, coached by Jimmy Conzelhan, romped to a 28-to-0 triumph over an all-star team coached by Notre Dame's Frank Leahy. The over-all series stands at eight victories for the pros, five for the collegians, and two ties. Although the hot weather ex Derts favor the Eagles to down the collegians, the champs prob ably won t hit pay dirt tnrougn the Stars' line. Both All-Star players and coaches are pretty confident of that. On the offense the college lads will present a solid Notre Dame front in the middle of the line with Marty Wendell and Bill Fischer still doing duty as guards and Bill Walsh at center. To spark scoring, Wilkinson will spring such quarterbacks as Frank Tripucka, Notre Dame; Jack Mitchell, Oklahoma, and Norm Van Brocklin, Oregon. Other backfield standouts on the Stars' roster Include Don Doll, Southern California; George Guerre. Michigan State; Clyde Scott, Arkansas, and Jerry Wil liams, Washington State.
