Can Lions Stop Offense of Ail-Stars? ' o Gridiron Classic at Soldiers' Field in Chicago Matches Youthful Power Against Teamwork of Veterans I s i - I .W .v'. - - Riley Smith m V A i v v. j Glenn Presnell By MAURICE MERRYFIELD International Illustrated News Feature Writer CHICAGO. When the Detroit Lions meet the collegiate All-Amcrii cans at Chicago's Soldiers' Field the night of Sept. 1 it will be a test of two different football systems as well as a game which will match youth and power against experience and teamwork. Bernie Bicrman's tamed Minnesota style of football emphasizes the of fense. It is a system little used in professional football, but one which has proven its worth in the past two seasons when one considers the en viable record of the Gorher3. Most of the professional teams use a com bination of the Warner and Notre Dame systems. While their offense is smooth and formidable, they rely on fewer plays and stress an airtight defense which keeps down most of the scores in the pro league. Collegians' Offense Strong Many are of the opinion that the College All-Star team which swings Into action Sept. 1 is the greatest RETURN FROM VACATION Wednesday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Henry A. Schneider returned home after their vacation spent in the west where they enjoyed the oppor tunity of relaxing in the cool and comfortable weather conditions that they found there. Mrs. Schneider has been gone for several weeks, driving through to the west coast with Mrs. R. W. Knorr and children, visiting with relatives and old friends in Oregon and then down the west coast to enjoy visits at San Francisco and the Los Angelea community where so many old time friends reside. Mrs. Schneider joined Mr. Schnei der at Glen Isle at Bailey, Colorado, where they have since been visiting in the delightfully cool weather there and where the temperature seldom reached more than 75 in the daytime. Later Mr. and Mrs. Schneider motored to Loveland, Colo rado, where they visited with Mrs. Schneider's sister, Mrs. John Ramsey and family for a few days before re turning to their home. Mr. Schneider states that crop conditions look well in the central part of Colorado where there has been much more moisture than farther east and while it is not an agricultural country, what crops there are seem in excellent shape.

In watching their workouts observers have been impressed with their tre mendous power, speed and versa- t tiiity. In the backfield are suc!i stars as Sheldon Bclae of Minnesota; Jay Derwanger, Chicago; Riley Smith, Alabama, and Bill Shakespeare of Notre Dame. Stacked against these in the back field of the Detroit Lions are such able veterans as Glenn Presnell, Ace Gutoweky, Ernie Caddell and Dutch Clark. They have a tricky forward passing attack and a bewildering of fense which consists of a dozen ef fective plays starting from practi cally the same formation, a setup which will make it difficult for the collegians to analyze and anticipate the direction of their attack. The big problem which Head Coach Bierman and his assistants, Bo Mc Millan of Indiana and Elmer Layden of Notre Dame, must work out be fore the starting whistle is to work out a smoothly effective combination which will function as a team and not as a group of 11 men. Bierman f) v- - s Plattsmouth Boy to Choose Life of Sailor Harvey Fggeling Leaves for Omaha to Enlist in Service of Uncle Sam in Naval Force. From Friday's Daily This afternoon Irarvey Eggcling departed for Omaha where he ex pects to enlist in the service of his country as a member of the naval force of the nation. He was accom panied by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold J. Lillie. Harvey, who is a graduate of the Plattsmouth high school of the class of 1936, has just completed the month's training in the C. M. T. C, this being his fourth year in the training camp and in which he has made a brilliant record, being award tary academy. He however has chosen to take the naval work in stead and hopes soon to be out in the training camps and starting in his work. The many friends of the young man will wish him every success in his chosen calling which with his ability should enable him to go far in the ranks of the navy. The date of August 28th is one of significance in the Lillie family Mr. Lillie states, as it is wedding anniversary of his parents, the birth day of Mrs. Lillie, mother of Harvey and now the enlistment day of the son. WELL VISIT IN CITY Mrs. Mary Estes of Sidney, Iowa, is here to enjoy a visit at the Frank R. Gobclman home. Mrs. Estes came with the Hiatt family to this city and expects to spend some two weeks here visiting with the friends in this community. s- WW..

Jay Berwanger is confident that the aggregation will whip into a smooth combin ation, and, not without reason, pre dicts that the 1936 College All-Stars will prove the greatest team ever to take ths field when they line up the night of Sept. 1. Both Lines Powerful. , In considering the offensive power of the teams, it is unfair to overlook the magnificent lines which will rep resent both the pros and collegians. In the starting lineup for the col legians Keith Topping of Stanford and Wayne Millner of Notre Dame will be at the ends; Dick Smith of Minnesota and Truman Spain of Southern Methodist at tackles; Ver non Oech of Minnesota and Paul Tan gora of North western at guards, and Ohio's Gomer Smith at center. Neither of the previous two games in the series between the pros and the Collegian All-Stars has conclu sively proved the superiority of either outfit. One game was a scoreless tie and the' other was won by the pro fessionals by the unusual score of 5 to 0. . ...i a, - . -.. v.. .' :4 if T MANLEY NEWS August Krecklow has a good Mod el T for sale that would be fine for school children driving to school.
