He may be ready in a few days. In addition to losing Collins the Cubs blew a game to the Pirates, 6-5. yesterday.

DOR AIS NAMED HEAD COACH OF ALL-STARTEAM Detroit U. Coach Heads Poll Os Fans To l oach All-Stars Chicago, Auril-(U.P> i^ ! ‘ r ! , i ; (Gus) Dorais, veteran athletic director at the University of Detroit, agreed today to coach the fans All America football team for a night game with the professional Green Bay Packers on Sept. 1 The unassuming little Detroiter, riding an avalanche of votes from his home state, defeated coaches from four great football schools for the honor of leading the collegiate allstars into the fourth summer contest with the champions of the national professional league. Dorais will be assisted by Lynn Waldorf of Northwestern, Elmer Layden of Notre Dame, Jimmy Phelan of the University of Wash ington. and Bernie Moore.

put over Dorais. starting a movement which eventually snowballed into 1 241.658 first place votes and a record total of 5.269.179 points He received approximately 200,000 more votes than Bernie Bierman of Minnesota amassed last season Waldouf. who coached Northwestern's big ten champions, was second with 4,011.108 points; Layden was third with 3.464.384. 1 heian had 3.033.977 and Moore was fifth with 2.521.941. The five coaches will assemble their squad for opening practice Saturday. Dorais. who took no part in the ' campaign, was surprised at the outcome since so many nationally famous coaches were running near the top. "This is the greatest thrill of my football career,” Dorais told directors of the all-star game. “The tremendous support from my home state was as gratifying as it was unexpected.” The all-stars, with as much run- ' ning power as any of their prede- ; cessors. will have a stronger ali a- . round attack under Dorais' direc- ■ tion than other collegiate teams. I Dorais is master of the forward pass. He helped revolutionize the forward pass play with the late
