All-Stars Down Redskins, 17-14 in Professional "Bowl" Battle'
Stars Tally Two Touchdowns
in Second Half to Over
, come Washington Lead.
Br Robert S. Barkdoll
United Press Correspondent
Philadelphia. Dee. 29 U.fi
The Washington Redskins (till
reigned as champions of the Na-
t i o n 1 Professional Football
league today but their record
was somewhat tarnished by
17-14 loss to the league All-
Stars in the post season pro
Bowl game.
Coach Heartley (Hunk) Ander
son, co-pilot of the Chicago
Bears and Lee Artoe, Bears'
tackle, were the huppiest men
on the squad for both derived
some measure of revenge for
the 14-0 defeat their team suf
fered at the hands of the. Red
skins In the league's title playoff.
It was Anderson who coached
the professional All -Stars to
their triumph over the Redskins
yesterday before 18,671 (ana at
Shibe Park and it was Artec's
artistic toe which provided the
winning margin early in the
fourth quarter with a 43-yard
field goal that sailed squarely
between the uprights.
At the start of the game, it
looked as though the Redskins
playing without Sammy Baugh,
who failed to make plane con
nections from his home at Rotan,
Texas would have things pretty
much their own way as the All
Stars were unable to click with
any combination of players.
Aldrlch Bcores
The hard-charging Redskins'
line broke through frequently
to throw the Stars for losses
Midway In the first period,
Harry Hopp of the Detroit Lions
kicked from his own 11. Ki
Aldrlch, Washington canter,
grabbed the ball off the ground
on the 40 and raced unmolested
for the score. Bob Masterson
converted.
The other Redskin score came
in the third. Roy Zimmerman
who made valiant bid to fill
the Baugh's shoes, filled the air
with passes. With the ball on
the Stars' 49, he tossed to Mas
terson who carried to the 16
Two plays later, Zimmerman
passed to Bob Seymour who ran
over from the five. Again, Mas
tenon converted.
The Stars got their first break
in the third when Bill Dudley,
Pittsburgh Steelers' back,
snatched Zimmerman's short
pass out of the air on his own
3 and raced 87 yards for the
score.
The Stars went to work In
earnest after that and with
Luckman clicking repeatedly
with passes to John Slegel and
George Wilson, moved the ball
to the Washington 3. from which
point John Petty plunged over.
The game was tied at 14-14
when Artoe connected for his
winning field goal.
New Orleans, Dec. 28 (U.R)
Tennessee's best pans defense
against the aerials of Tulsa's All
American Glenn Dobbs in the
Sugar Bowl game may be the
constant rushing of the lightning-fast
Volunteer linesmen.
As both teams, In training a
few miles apart on the Missis
sippi Gulf coast, went into final
two-a-day practice sessions to
day. Coach John Barnhill of Ten
nessee suggested that Tulsa
might not be the only one to toss
a few passes on New Year's Day
But observers considered it a
bit late In the season to start
practicing 'an aerial atack that
would approach the wizardry of
the Dobbs variety, and believed
that concentration on Tennessee
power would be a better bet.

The Rose Bowl picture today.
Just four days before the ref
eree's whistle opens the New
Year's Day gridiron classic,
found the rival Georgia and
UCLA camps displaying highest
spirits yet shown In pre-game
workouts, but for widely vari
ant reasons.
The UCLANs Just feel good.
Despite an unusually heavy
practice session Saturday, the
Bruins asked Coach Babe Hor
rell for a workout Sunday. When
he jaid no, the Bruin squad vol
untarily went on a five-mile
hike.
The Bulldogs are happier be
cause All-America Frankie Sink
wich donned sweat clothes yes
terday and Jogged around the
practice field until his twisted
right ankle forced a halt. The
Georgia sensation has either
been in bed or confined to his
hotel room since he sprained the
ankle In practice early last week.
In the other camp, a knee in
Jury suffered over the week-end
by UCLA's 200-pound first

Rouen Conflagration
Traced To Nazi Tank
Ramming Aged Honse
Vichy (U.R) The burning of
the historic quarter of Rouen
between the cathedral and the
Seine, one of the most perfect
genu of middle ages architec
ture in Europe, in June, 1940,
was blamed in a report by
French experts today on a Ger
man tank.
According to the Inquiry
which lasted more than a year,
the fire was traced finally to a
German tank which tried to
force its way down one of the
narrow tortuous streets from
the cathedral. Towards the
river end of the street, the Ger
man tank cam Into the line of
fire of a French 'tank which
put the German immediately out
of action.
Its driver killed, Its fuel on
fire, the German tank rammed
itself Into the walls of a thir
teenth century rubble and tim
ber house which caught on fire.
The flames spread to more than
400 houses, all dating to the
middle ages.
There is now vast void be
tween the cathedral and the
river, except for a few atone
walls and arches, all that re
mains of one of the gems of
European history. The French
government's -plant for the re
construction of Rouen call for
rebuilding the burned area with
low structures to that the
cathedral will be visible front
the river. Before the fire, the
cathedral had been wholly hid
den from that side.

f"Leo S. Disher, JK while serving with a United States landing

wounded, Disher remained at his post on the vessel which was
taking him ashore and continued to report for the public press a
lucid, accurate and detailed account of the action, in which the
greater part of the military and naval personnel aboard the ship
became casualties.
."After being ordered to abandon ship, Disher swam to shore and,,
although again wounded four times, continued to perform his duty
in an exemplary manner. With complete disregard for his personal

meritorious public service by recording the details of the attack
