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.

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?

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.

All-Dixie Army Team

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.

- 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. ' .
