The only stipula tion toy the Nat quintet Is that the first five games be rolled any night except on a Sunday or holiday, that a return match be stnged at the Nat, and that new pins be used and a foul line observed.

(UP) Professional football Is the coming na tional sport of the United States, was the enthusiastic prediction today of Paul Mark Schissler, who has setn football played both for "Dear Old fllwash" and "Dear Old Ooldcash." The former coach of the powerful Oregon State eleven, who left collegi ate gridirons to Join the Ohlodgo Cardinals, came home here for the holidays, all pepped up over his first year with the professional leather- luggers. Schissler has looked over the bst that both brands of football have to offer, amateur and professional, and he is sold on the professional variety. "Boy, It's the goods!" Is his ver dict. "The sport la headed forward and for better times. And no howling alumni to bother it r The boys who play football, for money present a gridiron perfection that can't be equalled by amateurs, he says. What's the big difference In pro ranks?" he asks, and proceeds to an swer his own question. "It's simply this: A pro team Is not a machine of a few brilliant players and a few good boys. It's a team of 11 brilliant players, with plenty more brilliant players on the bench. "And what do they do that's differ ent from the college boys? Look to old Shipwreck Kelly of the Brooklyn Dodgers for a good example. "One day Shipwreck started an end run against us and our linemen sifted through and forced htm back on the run. Then, all of sv sudden, while on a dead run, he lets fly a punt that goea sailing over the head of our safety. Let's see your college boys do that. Schissler staunchly defends the spirit of the men who -play the pro fessional game. Their enthusiasm Is Just as high, he says, as that of the boys who go out to "do or die for dear old Rutgers.' "The biggest and most pleasant sur prise I got last season,"' he said, "Is the way the boys took the game. By George, you may not believe It, but those boys are as nervous as settln' hens before the game and they go on the field with the mist In their eyes."

Names of equally tamed troupers of the gridiron are listed In the western group that will take orders from Orln K. "Babe" Hol Ungbery of Washington State college and Percy Looey of Denver unlverefty. The East presents Seattle Pesthers, who halfbacked his way to gridiron glory for Tennessee and the West counters with Oeorge Bauer, 90S- pound triple threat fullback from University of Nebraska. They're two of an array of ball- toters whose presence on a team would gladden the heart of any coach In the country. Linemen who crashed Into the headllnee during the season will lock grips In a game that every year comes closest to bringing together two mythical national All-American teams. To Test F4chwammel.
