' aVt1, u3 ' 1 1 Luclcman, Galarneau PACA Pro Champions By DAVE HOFr CHICAGO, Aug. 29 (JP) Coach Bob Zuppke's dream of a glamorous ending to his long career in football evaporated like the mists that nil but obscured last night's annual All-Star game in Soldier field. His oue-timc pupil, George Hala:, and the massive Chicago Bears' machine showed the old Illinois master no mercy beforo a record crowd of 101,100, walloping the Stars 21 to 0. The Ucura won lasl year s game, 37 to 13. rae Rational roovom league champions of 1940 and 1941, despite the departure of 10 star players fur the armed forces, still havo their Sid Luckman and their Hugh Galarneou and their other gridiron demons. The Bears have now partici pated in four of the nine All Star contests without suffering a defeat. They were held to a scoreless tie in the 1934 series inaugural. Those who sat in the upper regions of Soldier Field did not sco a single play of the 79 yard drivo that netted the Bears their third touchdown in the third period. Fog obscured1 the playing field from, view, but the man with the microphone dutifully reported Luckman completed a 58-yard pass play to Hampton Pool and that Ga larneau galloped over from the eight-yard line. In the first period Galarneau went over from the four-yard line to climax a 00-yard Bear power drive. The second period touchdown was made on a 23- yard pass from young Busscy to Pool. Joe Stydahar kicked all three conversion points. Minnesota's Bruce Smith, probably the All-Stars' most consistent performer, directed two fierce thrusts in the second period that failed for want of a punch runner operating in side the 20-yard line. Notre Dame's Steve Juzwik drew the night's biggest cheers for a 91 yard sprint In the first period, six yards shy of creating an All-Star touchdown, The game nctle.d about $160, 000 for -nrmy and navy relief. ALSAB SEEKS WIN CHICAGO, Aug. 29 M") Al sab seeks to regain hif place as an outstanding contender for the three-year-old championship today against six high caliber rivals in the -32nd running of the American derby at Washing ton park. started as a catcher In an ama teur league at Pennetang. He became a pitcher, labored in the nickel mines at Sudbury and played on the mine team . CREDITS BRUCKER AS PITCHING TEACHER He drifted to Dan Howley's baseball school at Barrie and on the old Cincinnati catcher's recommendation was given a tryout by the neighboring Tor onto club of the International league. He won 15 and lost 22 in two seasons at Toronto and was sur prised when Connie Mack, exer cising a working agreement, brought him to Philadelphia's training camp in the spring of 1941. He credits Enrle Bruckcr, the former catcher who is on the Athletics' coaching staff, with making htm a winner. "The muscles in my shoulder were so hard," he explains, "I wasn't following through. Bruck cr Insisted that I follow through on every pitch, and I loosened up and began getting some pret ty good stuff." SAYS HE'D WIN 20 GAMES WITH YANKEES How many games does he think ho could win with the Yankoos? "I don't see how I could miss 20," he says, almost wistfully. "It's not only their hitting al though a few runs would help but It's that Infield. Give a pitcher guys like Gordon and Rlzzuto to grab those ground balls behind second, and he works with a helluva lot of con fidence." Mnrchildon, 26 and single, will join the Canadian colors after the season. He's looking forward to putting on a uni form. Stopping the nazis Is an Im mense task, but It should be right up Phil Marchlldon's al ley. Did you ever try to stop seven other American league clubs with the Philadelphia In field behind you? Ramsey Calls Footballers For Practice With a new coach and no fan fare, Klamath High's football Pelicans open their first practice of their first ' war-time season Tuesday, September 1, Mentor Frank Ramsey announced to day. The lads will be issued equip ment and gather for a squad meeting Monday after classes in the KUHS fleldhouse. The meeting is expected to give Ramsey a definite indication as to the personnel available for the 1942 eleven. Only members who may be missing from last year's team, which under Buck Hammer won eight whllo losing only one, are Don Mast and Nell Mayficld in addition to those who have grad uated. Mast may be forced to quit school for financial reasons and Mayfleld's knee, injured last fall and re-twisted this sum mer, may keep him from active sports competition. The September 1 opening practice date resulted from an application to the Oregon State High School Athletic associa tion. Previously the OSHSAA hnd ruled that workouts must not tart before September 10. Whirly Out for $10,000 Today In Trenton 'Cap CAMDEN N.

Wallace Wade's Eleven Collides With Washington Redskins on Coliseum Turf LOS ANGELES, Aug. 29 OP) It will be an All-Dixie football team that cagey Ma, Wallace-Wade sends onto the. Los Angeles coliseum turf tomorrow afternoon to represent the U. S. army against the ponderous Washington Redskins of the National. Pro fessional league. Cursory Inspection of Ma, Wade s starting lineup, might lead to the hurried conclusion that the former Alabama and Duke coach believes all the gridiron line. But that would be doing the hard-bitten major a grave Injustice, because he has a very good and solid reason for start ing those southerners. Those who Insist on making odds on all sports events have installed Washington a 1 to 2 favorite, despite the fact Wade had one of the grandest collec tions of former college stars ever assembled. Rigorous army life has them In splendid physical condition and Wade has driven them tirelessly to try to get the important element of timing. , I - - , - . fail 7.. r !:; : & J" H fo-J Wildwood, N.

By AUSTIN BEALMEAR Associated 'Press Sports Writer . . - Disheartening as it may be to the Boston Red Sox, the citizens of Brooklyn and the manufacturers of medical supplies, it begins to look as if the New York Yankees will be able to finish the American league pennant race without the. aid of an ambulance. With their injury-list crowded much 'of the time, the Yanks have done little better than break even since the start of the month, winning IS games :and losing 11 for an average of .577. But the cripples have started shedding their bandages and turning up at their regular posts, a situation that spells trouble for other clubs in the league and particular ly the Red Sox, who have won 16 of their last 18 games in a desperate drive to overhaul the Yanks ; Two fugitives from a hospital bed took their places in the lineup yes terday as the Yankee applied their 17th whitewash Job of the year, a 3-0 shutout over the crumbling Cleveland Indians. Spud Chandler made his first start on the mound since Aug. 19 and demonstrated that he has recovered completely. The victory kept the Yankees eight games in front of the Red Sox, who blanked the Chicago White Sox, 4-0, on the four-hit; hurling of Joe Dobson. . Johnny Pesky,- Lou Finney and Bill Conroy led the ten-hit attack on Buck Ross and helped Dobson to his third shutout. Meanwhile, the St. Louis Browns strengthened their hold on third place by nipping the Philadelphia Athetics, 5-4 in ten talent lies below the Mason-Dixon ; r But Ray Flaherty's Washing ton club has been drilling hard for three weeks, too, down in San Diego, and they can pick up from where they left off last sea son: Football is a business with the pros. They are In condition'. They have been playing together a long time. Wade, in selecting his starting lineup, has tried, to capitalize on the familiarity of his players with one another's assignments.' There will be eight Texas Ag gies in there. ' .

' The game Is scheduled for 9 o'clock in the Medford ball park and Is expected to draw , With a stiff push on the grudge angle -a houseful . of soldiers and the remnants of Camp White construction workers.
