PACKED HOUSE ASSURED FOR ALL-STAR TILT College All-Stars Meet Detroit Lions At Soldier Field Chicago, Sept. I. —(U.RX-The Detroit Lions, professional champions of the world, and the 1936 college All-Stars open the football season in Soldier field tonight with one of the most imposing arrays of talent in the history of the game. At least 80,000 will pour Into the huge lakefront amphitheater for the third annual floodlighted spectacle in this unique college-pro-fessional series. The game is scheduled to start at 7:20 p. m. ('ST. The heavier, faster, smoother Lions were 2 to 1 favorites to de fend the prestige of professionalism. There was little wagering despite the fact the Chicago Bears wera held to a scoreless tie in 1934 and barely won in a driving rainstorm last year. 5 to 0. The outcome of the game means less to the crowd, however, than the presentation of an unlimited supply of famous football characters —Jay Berwanger. Keith Topping. Sheldon Beise. Dick Smith. Dutch Clark. Ernie Caddell, or Emmerson and dozens more. The All-Star squad chosen by readers of 182 newspapers in 40 states was regarded to the previous collegiate grotgGnlue partly to the increased scepe of the poll. Most credit, however, went to coaches Bernie Bierman of Minnesota. Bo McMillin of Indiana. Elmer Layden of Notre Dame and Lynn Waldorf of Northwestern, who drove the collegians to their peak in 18 days. The willing players absorbed so mnch of the highly successful Min- 1 nesota system that in closing drills they ran plays with perfect timing and a finesse rivaling that of the national champion Gohper elevens of the last two years. In Earl (Dutch) Clark the Lions undoubtedy have the greatest back-

Jay Berwanger of Chicago and Bill Shakespeare of Notre ' Dame will work at the halves, and i Sheldon Beise of Minnesota at fullback. The backfields will be about ,1 equal and line play should hold j the key to victory. Defensively, the collegians may be superior at the ends, which will be manned > by Keith Topping of Stanford and Wayne Millner of Notre Dame. Dick Smith. Minnesota, and Tru- ■ | man Spain, Sopthern Methodist. ' are two all-American tackles tow- ■; ering as bulwarks of the All-Star line. Smith, who played against i several touring professional teams , ’ after his collegiate career ended .'last fall, knows what to expect. .. Vern Ooech, Minnesota, and Paul . ■ Tangora, Northwestern, will be at , the guards and Gotner Jones, Ohio State's pudgy captain, will start at center. Since the goal posts will be planted on the goal line—the one concession demanded by the professionals —added emphasis was plac!ed n the kicking. Marty Peters of ‘ Notre Dame and Babe le Voir of 1 Minnesota are accurate place-kick-ers. The Lions will rely on Clark, •a dropkicker, and the veteran Glen j Presnell, placement star. CASTINGS WINS FIRST TILT IN LEAGUE SERIES Noses Out G. E. In First Os Series; Play Again Tonight Timely hitting by Castings batsmen and a spectacular catch by R.

Sept 1 —(URy “■Smarting from their shutout since the dismals days of July, the first-plu< ' New York Giants hurled all their [ , strength at the Chicago Cubs to-1 • day in un attempt to clinch the 14th consecutive series of. their National League pennant drive. Fat Fredd Fitzsimmons, a prominent figure in New York's streaking climbs from fifth place into the role of championship favorite, nought his eighth victory of the; season. Manager Charley Grimm wan expected to call upon Curt Davis. the ailing beanpole, who decided he was strong enough to accept the crucial assignment. Lonnie Warneke. pitching star of the last world series, halted the mad pace of the league leaders yearers yesterday with a 1 to 6 decision over Frank Gabler. Giant Rookie. It was Warneke's 13th victory and Gabler’s fourth defeat. Warneke's six-hit performance | enabled the Cubs to move within | a half game of the St. Louis Cardinals and chop the Giants' league lead to three and ‘ one-half games. Yanks Far Ahead New York.

I First, they threaten to better the American l-eague margin for winning a championship. Second, the ! major league home run record is I in dauger of being broken by the 1 new "murderera' row." “Third, the American League attendance mark is certain to be kurpassed. By increasing their leadership three more games, the Yankees can top the record of 19 set by the Ruppert Rifles of 1927. With a collection of 157 home runs this year, the McCarthy men need only 16 more to tie and 17 to break the all-time record of 17<» i set by the Philadelphia, Athletics I in 1932. The belief that Yankee prosperity faded with Babe Ruth has been dispelled by the crowds which have thronged to Yankee stadium thie year. The clouting Yanks have performed before 1,051,085 paying guests at the stadium thus far ayut, 1 with nine more home games.
