? PACKERS SLAM
; COLLEGE STARS
IN ANNUAL TILT
Pros Display Amazing!
^ Overhead Playing
CHICAGO—>/Pi— Now the college
boys know why the Green Bay
Packers and their unexcelled end
4 fleet Don Hutson are the scourge
of the National Football League.
The All-6ta rs 69 players season-
ed by four years of college foot-
ball moved Into Soldier Field
Thursday night forewarned and
presumably lorearmed for the
Packers’ dazzling overhead attack.
But their advance Information
was useless. The Packers put on
one 01 the most sparkling exhibi-
tion# of passing in the history of i
football pro or amateur whipping
the All-Stars. 45 to 28. in the sev-
enth game of this series. The vic-
tory gave the pros a three to two
edge iwo games being ties.
Amateurs Score Early
The 84.567 spectators were shock-
ed in the first minutes to see the
amateurs drive to a touchdown m
the wild-scoring fray. Amby Schin-
dler of Southern California set up
T'i the tally with an intercepted pass
and scored on a six-yard dash in-
aide right tackle. Nile Kinnick.
Iowan sensational star of 1939.
drop-kicked the point.
JTh^n the Packers struck. Cecil
Isbell one-time Purdue star lost
19 yards on an attempted pass
putting the Parkers on their own
21. Hutson who holds the league
pass-catching records worth men-
tioning. then raced down the
middle took a perfect 51-yard pass
on the run and footed the remain-
ing 30 yards for the tying touch-
down.
Recover Fumble
Less than two minutes later the
Packers recovered a Tumble on the
AU-6tars' 26 and Isbell shot a
touchdown pass to Carl Mulleneaux.
an end But the All-6tars refused
to be daunted driving 36 yards for
the tying tally. Kenny Washing-
ton U C L A. negro star going over
on a spinner.
g * Taking the ball on thetr own 35.
ihe Packers then scored in three
plays. Arnold Herber tossed a short
pass to Andv Uram who galloped
46 yards for the score. Near the end
of ihe period. Isbell- hit Hutson in
the end zone with a 35-yard pass
f This gave the Pros a 28-14 bulge
and the All-Stars never recovered
although they pulled up within a
touchdown of the Packers in the
same period when a Kinnick-Mc-
Fadden aerial netted 57 yard#.
Hutson Still <»«es
But Hutson hadn't finished Mid-
way in the third period he took a
17-yard bullet pass from Herber
and romped 12 more yards to Green
Bays fifth touchdown. The All-
6tars. showing marvelous spirit
against the odds again cracked the
Packers. Schindler climaxing a 46- I
yard attack bv smacking the line
for a touchdown.
Thus threatened the Parkers cut
loose from their 20. running and
passing0o the All Stars’ 25 where
* Paul Engebretsen booted a field
goal. Just to polish ofT the night's
work. Isbell sparked another drive
and rounded right end for the final
score.
315 Yards on Passes
«# Hutson's pass gains exceeded 150
yards and Green Bay collected 315
yards in 11 completed tosses out of
22. Each team made nine first
downs the Packers gaming only 34
net yards rushing.
1 The crowd paid $175427 to see
the game. The sum. less expenses

Choice; New W/orld Looks Good
BV HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Service Sports Editor
SARATOGA SPRINGS - Whirl-
away and New World hook up
again In the $45000 Hopeful Stakes
as Old Saratogas 76th meeting
I comes to an pnd Saturday.
It s the first time the 2-year-olds
'travel more than six furlongs the
distance being six and a half and
most of the handicappers like
Whirlawavs chances because of the
extra half furlong.
The Hopeful rill go a long way
'oward deciding the juvenile cham-
pionship—still wide open—and the
favorite for the big fall futurities.
It was won by such distinguished
runners as Sun Briar Man o’ War
Pompey. Morvlch Boo.tum and
Ladysman. Regret the only filly
ever to win the Kentucky Derby
came down in front in 1914.
Whir la wav is a good-looking and
temperamental chestnut colt by
Blenheim II-Dustwhirl. she by
Sweep. This sassy fellow was bred
by Warren Wright on his Calumet
Farm In Kentucky.
New World is an extremely
hand'ome chestnut colt by Dis-
covery-Sunny Gal she by Sun
Briar. Nev- World is one of D'<-
covery's first crop and was bred
by young Alfred GWynne Vander-
bilt en his Sagamore Farm near
Baltimore.
Cunnv Sal is a half sister of
Sally’s Aliev- which trimmed Zev
in the Belmont Futurity of 1922
and also raptured the top prize in
the Pimlico Futurity.
Attention Merits Just That
New World which is reallv con-
ditioned by Vanderbilt although
L. McCoy became the Belmont and
Pimlico mogul* trainer following
Bud Stotlers bad automobile
nr'Shup slightly more than a
>ecr ago. scored in two of three
starts.
He prevailed easily in hi* bow
at ranpire City was second to
Whir la way in the Saratoga Spe-
(ial. and reversed the verdict on
the Wright stretch-burner by a
length and a half in the Grand
Union Hotel Stakes at the Spring*
Aug. 24
The time for the latter event.
1:11 onlv three-fifths of a second
off the track mark was the fast-
est of the meeting for three-quar-
ters of a mile.
Whirlaw-FV with Johnny Long-
den up was might in close quar-
ters in the stretch and Hv-Conp

i the run down It. But Whirlaway
got through in time to start his
run at New World which this
time did not tire under Sonny
Workman in the last sixteenth as
he md two weeks before when
i Vanderbilt said he was short.
A third colt which must be
figured in the Hopeful is Mrs.
Parker Coming's Attention a son
of Equipoise which has turned in
three victories in four efforts.
Attention galloped away with the
National Stallion Stakes in New
r l
Warren Wright A. G. Vanderblll
York and the United States Hotel
stakes at the Spa Aug. 3. when
he shaved Whirlaway by a head.
Whirlaway got away better than
he usually does in the Grand
Union Hotel.
He closed rapidly after being
practically left at the post in the
United States Hotel.
The hopeful field will be small
...eight at the most. The three
standouts each carry 122 pounds.
Whirlaway conceded New World
five pounds in the Grand Union
Hotel.
Other probables are W. E. Boe.
mg's Twinkippy. J. W. Dials Hy-
Cop the Greentree Stables Mon-
day Lunch the Brookmeade Sta-
ble's Mettlesome and John Hay
Whitney’s Seven Hills which
crashed the winners circle the
only time he went postward.
Harry Payne Whitney's Boojum
set the track and Hopeful record
in 1929. when the son of John
P. Grier carried 117 pounds over
the six and a hald furlongs in 1:17.
Bimelech copied the plums a year
ago.
Whirlaway may have been re-
tarded a little in the Grand Union
Hotel but New World kept gal-
loping along.

Sarazen didn't reach these
quarter-finals by a fluke. He shot
one of the greatest match rounds
of hi* career to knock out defend-

Picard Thursday.
The Haig I/oaen
In the 16 matches none packed
more brlllant golf than the Sara- (

Sarazen* nearest rival Walter
Hagen but the Haig lost and thus
anded hopes of many that these

Picard was three down with on-

ed on the best golf he knew and
rlosed out with three successive
birdies but the last hole brokd his
heart. Picard was only two feet
away and Sarazen was seven feet
off the pm.
Sarazen looked at the crowd
like those that followed him when
he won the P O. A three times
and thf U S open twice Grinned
and rapped the putt down for a
deuce and the match.
Picard had the experience of
shooting a ftve-under-par 68 on

I_By Hart Stilwell
We encountered that dean of
Valley hunters Wm. fi. .Btllt We«t
on the street yesterday aftemocm.
and he had the smell of mhlte-
I wings in his nostrils.
"Getting my lazy back chair
ready" Bill said. "I'm going to
plant it out in a grain field and
work 'em over. And if I miss. I
got a good excuse—any man has
who hunts sitting down."
Rill got to talking about hunt-
ing and fishing down in Mexico
tnd told ua about some trout
fishing down there with his aon-
■ in-law Emmett Goodrich..
Mexico is doing a lot of stock-
ing of fine lakes and streams with
it And in the big lakes cor-
i trolled by that country they have
a novel and it seems to as sound
method of charging.
They charge you so much a kilo
for the fish you catch—no fish.
no paga la gente. Seems like a
fine idea
And Bill said some of the gang
showed up with worms but they
wouldn't let them fish with them.
Bov what a country— up here the
man with the worm sits on a
pedestal pays no license and has
ihe world practically grabbed.
“Whitewingii flying around our
place seem pretty young." we re-
marked to Duke Smith while get-
ting our whiskers whittled off.
"Are they fat?" Duke asked.
We refuse to answer that one
rn the grounds that it might in-
j culminate us.

ere showing the same sterling
character and endurance which
has characterised them now for

Prank used to be a hunter—now
he takes pigeons out and turn*
them looae. hoping theyH come
home.
"Took out a couple of bablas
the other day.” he Informs ua—
Just little one* around eight
weeks tor maybe it was fight
months*. They came right back
home”
Vince Stevemon tackled a brand
new rim the other dav. It la
about 35 or 30 mile* south of the
Soto la Martna and It promises
to be a honev when there la* a
little more water coming down It.
We look for Vince to wander
eleer on down to the Port of
Mexico some day. and come back
telling about the big fish there.
