Then, sources clone te the AllBlar official family headed by poach Jim Tatnm of Maryland, accused Parker of trying to faije scout information on secret workouts held by the All-Stars for the past three weeks. An a result, the usual friendly spirit evident nt All-Star games of the past probably' will notabla ’by Its absence when both teams lineup for the first play- in this game. 'Parker will bring a 50 .» man squad to Soldier Field • 28 vet erans and 22 rookies. He has Intimated that he might not use his ■star passing quartarliack, Bobby Layne.

The campus brigade is expected to fill the air with passes as past games In the series showed that All • Star running offense* never have moved with euccess against hard-tackling pro lines. The collegians have done well in air attacks. Fluyfog pnder the elnffle platoon eystem «tth which they are familiar, they arc given almost an even chance of upsetting the Lions ijl what shapes up in advance as the most wide - open, 1 liardust hitting content of the entire serie*.
