Detroit Lions Whip All-Star Team, 31-6 CHICAGO (IN*S) .— The Detroit Mons boast another victory over the College All-Stars today and the statistics of Friday’s night’s onesided 31 to 6 triumph at Chicago’s Soldier Field reveal clearly the superiority of the pro champions. A drowd of 93, 470 fans that jammed the huge sports stadium for the 21st annual classic saw the Lions almost toy with the eager youngsters. Detroit scored 17 points in the first period-twdP touchdowns and a field goal—as they cashed in on All-Star mistakes. Bus the Lions really did not need that series of “breaks.”’ They registered 20 first downs to 11 for the All-Stars. The Detroit team set a new record for the firat dooms gained by rushing as they barreled up 14 overland. The old mark of 12 was established by the Chicago Beans in 1942. The Lions gained 250 yards by rushing to the All-Stars’ 62. Detroit hung up 111 yards through forward passes to 82 for the collegians. Only in punting did the All-Stars own the advantage, largely through Zeke Bratkowski of Georgia. The Collegian punt average was 42.7 yards to 36.5 tor the Lions. Bratkoweki’s passes proved the main collegian offensive weapon as was expected. ” But Bratkowski’s individual brilliance could not overcome that 17 point advantage -the Lions took in the opening period. This was large ly due to All-Star jitters. Johnny Lattner of Notre Dame, who later was to -score the AllStars' only touchdown, fumbled on his 26-yard line when the game was about two minute* old. The ball was recovered by Thurman ■McGraw of the Lions. A few plays later, the Lions’ Jim Martin kicked a 2S-yard field goal to put his team into a lead It never lost. Later in the period, the Lions’ Jack Christiansen intercepted a Lattner pass at midfield and Detroit drove from there to its first touchdown. Doak Walker circled from 10 yard* out for the points. Still later in the quarter, the Lions marched 72 yards for their second touchdown, with Carpenter smashing over from the two-yard line.

The second period was scoreless, although the All-Stars by virtue of Bratkowski’s passes went as close as Detroit’s 11-yard line before losing the ball on downs. In this quarter, Veryl Switzer of Kansas staged the longest run of the day for the All-Stars-a 29-yard sprint. The All-Stars recovered a Lions fumble at the start of the third period as Jerry Hilgenberg of lowa tell on a Tom Dublinsky miscue on Detroit’s 15-year line. Ijjttner ripped over for the touchdown from the Lions four yard line. Detroit countered by marching from its 32 for Its third touchdown scored by Carpenter on a one-yard plunge. The Lions "stole” a touchdown from the All-Stars in the fourth period when Jim Doran grabbed a fumble by Neil Worden of Notre Dame in mid-air and raced 34 yards for the score. The game was the Lions’ second straight in the classic and the fourth straight win by the pros who lost in 1950. PROBE~SHORTAGE (CeetißueU Front P«Ke One> from going under.

Jack Harshman Pilches 1-0 16-lnning Win NEW YORK (INS) —’ They laughed when Frank Lane, the Chicago White Sox' mercurial general manager, reached down Into the Southern association and bought pitcher Jack Harshman last wiuter. - The 26-year-old lefthander had turned to pitching after washing out—because of weak hitting—as a New York Giants' first base prospect. And Jack had been a bust, too, in a brief, premature unveiling as a hurler with the Giants. But Lane saw something he liked—possibly because Harshman had patterned his delivery after the Giants' farm system head, Carl Hubbell, one of the greatest southpaws of all-time.. And you can bet that skipper Paul Richards of the White Sox is glad to have Harshman aboard. Earlier this season, the rookie struck out 16 men In Boston. And his overall 10-6. record indicates how he has helped the White Sox' American pennant bld. But the young lefty reached his peak Friday when he hooked up with Al Aber of Detroit in the hottest mound duel of the season and finally won, 1 to 0, in the 16th inning when MintUe Minoso tripled Nelson Fox across the plate. The three - hour - and - 50 - minute marathon was the longest in the majors this season and only two innings short of the longest 1- to - 0 battle on record. Both Harshman and Aber allowed nine ‘-ita. Jack walked seven men bu.<fanned 12, and he now has * string of 28 consecutive scoreless innings. The White Sox couldn't pick up any ground in the pennant race, despite their victory. Both the league-leading Cleveland Indians and the second • place New York Yankees fattened on second - division opposition. The Indians downed Baltimore, 9 to 4, behind Bob Feller, while the Yankees defeated Boston, 8 to 2, after Enos Slaughter’s bases-loaded triple broke a sixth-inning tie. The Philadelphia Athletics' Jim Finigan and Vic Power worked a double steal in the eighth inning. Fipigan scoring to defeat Washington, 3 to 2. In the National League, the New York Giants' lead to 2>4 games by defeat fag their arch rivals, 3 to 2. with the aid of Carl Erskine’s six-hit pitching and Carl Furfllo’s two-run homer in the seventh. , Surprising Pittsburgh made it ten wins in 15 starts by sweeping a twi-night doublebeader from Philadelphia, 9 to 5 and 5 to 0. St. Louis scored three runs in the ninth to edge Cincinnati, 10 to 8. Del Crandall homered with two aboard in the nipth to give Milwaukee a dramatic 5 to 2 decision over Chicago.
