To gel a Job with a pro club you have Io show something more than newspaper clipping* The fact that a man has made all-America Is not held against him by the pros, but he has to prove himself on the Arid as well as In the newspaper* This year M< laiughry and Htan ley Woodward, sports editor of the New York Herald Tribune, which sponaora the game. de< ided to try to beat the proa at their own tricks How well they succeeded la proved by the fact that 23 of the 35 men on the all-star* already have fieen signed by professional teams and will report after thia game 1 That means that they have been scouted by experla. that lhey are adept In the type of football played by the pros and that they are rugg-d enough to take aa well aa dish It out. Thia problem of keeping the boys* heads from swelling after they are choaen on an all-Amerlca is one thing that makes coaches' j hair turn gray early in life. One . coach who really could deflate a i player's head was the late Knute Koekne I One of his star backfleld men wasn't going no good and R<h k yanked him out of the game "Those ta<kles were coming through there too fast." the player alibied aa he sat down on ibe bench "I didn't know they were that good."
