Hirsch Leads All-Stars To Win Over Pros Chicago, Aug. 24. — (UP) — Football's hottest argument. the relative strength of the established National Magu»- an-l the new All-America conference flared anew today In the wake of the nth rnnual all star game. The collage All Stars defeated the world professional champion lais Angeles Hams 16 io 0 before a sellout throng of 97.5R0 funs at Soldiers Held last night and the two key figures in the triumph were youngsters who will make their pro debuts this fall with teams in the All-America conference. Elroy Hirsch. the gridiron dancing master, who flashed on pre-war collegiate fields with the I'nlveralty of Wisconsin, gave a brilliant running exhibition as he scored both the All-Star touch downs And the star of the great All-Star line was Martin Ruby, former Texas A * M. tackle. Hirsch will play professional ball with the Chicago Rockets uni Ruby teas been signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers. The brilliance of Hirsch and Ruby isn't likely to lie matched often in the All-America ranks, but at least temporarily the new circuit can hold its own in any argument as to comparative strength. In addition to Hirsch and Ruby, 37 other membeqs of the All-Star squad will play in the All-America this year. Sixteen members of the squad belong to National league teams. Hirsch broke up the contest late in the first period when he raced 3A yards for a touchdown, the longest run from nc rim mage in the 13-year history of this preseason classic. The All-Star attack had sputtered futilely through the early part of the period, but after the collegians took the ball on downs. Hirsch slipped off his own right tackle, fought off the Ram secondary and then sprinted down the sidelines for the marker. Pat Harder, a former Wisconsin teammate, added the point from placement. Again In the third period Hirsch gave the huge crowd a chance to roar, when he took a pass from Otto Graham of Northwestern. Graham tossed the ball 37 yards In the air and the Wisconsin ace took it on the dead run over his shoulder, shook off Jim Gillette, the defending Ram halfback, and outran him to the goal line. Again Harder converted. The Ail-Stars* final two points came on a safety In the final per lod when Paul Walker of Yale trapped Kenny Washington behind the goal line. After making repeated threats In the first half, the Rams bogged badly In the .Inal two periods and their running attack was stopped completely by the collegian line, with Ruby getting great aid from Hob Fitch of Minnesota and Jack Russell of Baylor The Rams, who passed their way to the pro title, tried In vain to employ the same tactics against the All-Stars. They completed only eight out of 22 attempts. Boh Waterfield, the Rams’ ace nnarterback and passer, connectAIR CONDITIONED SUN. - MON. • TUES.
