ALL-STAR GRID ' TILT TOMORROW — All-Stars To Battle New York Giants Under Lights Wednesday • I Chh-ago. Aug. !* — (U.R) —New York’a football Giant* rolled Into. town today tn the unique position I of being no better than an even choke to knock og the all-Amer-ican team of the man on the I -afreet under the light* in Soldier j Field tomorrow night. The Gianta have had thinga i pretty much their own way In an all-atar series of their own in NewYork the last few seasons, but In this granddaddy of all the starstudded charity contests, the | champtan* of the National proi fesakmal league have fared had'y Since the all-star "plague”—a* , the pros are apt to call ll—la here j to stay, pressure has been brought to bear on the Gianta to win at any i-ost and the ttS.imu fans expected |M the lakefront arena probably j will see the slambangingest ball game of the slx-year aeries. Prowess of the collegians ha*. I been hailed from coast to coast their amateur careers The ;Sld Luckmans. Davy O'Brlena. ; Charley Brocks and Vic Rottaria i ,of the all-atar squad, all elected by t popular vote, are known by every 1 I tans who ever risked four bits In | one of those football pools. For' once, the professional champion* must prove themselves. Conflicting stories tillered down from their training quarters st j Superior. Wls The Giants were ; said to have been given a lacing In a secret scrimmage against the Chicago Cardinals of their own ; league, Rome of the older play- > era. particularly big Ed Wldseth of ; Minnesota, reportedly haven't ap- ; proached anything like top-playing | form. Wldseth was the one man the all- ' stars feared. A bruising tackle of ' hla type can do plenty of damage to the man for man line blocking demanded of the Notre Dame ays- ’ tern which the all-stars will j*m Ploy With the probable exception of| Wldseth. coach Steve Owen's start-1 Ing lineup will be the same he u*ed 1 agaht*t the Gren Bay Packers In the playoff last December Jim Poole and Jim l*e Howell will be the ends. Ox Parry and Frank Cope i will be the tacklea. Orville Tuttle | and John Dell Isola will be guard* and Mel Hein, the old war horse among National league centers, will handle the pivots. In the backfield. Kd Danowakt the league's leading forward passer, will be at quarterback, with Hank Boar and Ward Cuff at the halves and L*>- ! and Shaffer al fullback. The second backfield has as I much punch as the first. Tuffy Leemans, returning to the scene of his sensational ball carrying for the 1935-all-stars. Nello (Flash)
