Lions Coach Fears All-Stars Offense DETROIT UP — Cdaeh Buddy Parker admitted today he was a bit jittery over not knowing what kind of an attack the college AllStars will spring on his Detroit Lions at Soldier’s Field in Chicago Friday night. The 39-ye/ir-old Texan was op’imistie about his Lions' chances duriftg \tlie regular National Football League season but said he was worried about the collegians because his staff knew’ so little about them. “About the only thing we're certain of is that Bobby Dodd is coaching them.’J Parker said. “It’s difficult to get ready for any game when you don't know what kind of Affense the opposition will use. We’ve tried in the past few weeks to get as much information as we could on Dodd's style of play at Georgia.” Parker said his charges were rounding >nto good shape but feared the collegians would be in better condition. “Those boys are younger and can condition theinselves more rapidly than most of the pros." he said. f’We’re planning on a close game." | Aside from his “close game" comment. Parker would not speculate on the outcome of the game. ' “But I'll tell you this.’* he said, “we aren't taking the All-Stars lightly.” No more scrimmages were on the Lions' practice schedule for the week andr drills will tapeii off with light workouts Thursday morning.
