But the innovation was happily accepted by the All-Stars, virtually all of whom will be headed for pro camps soon after the game. McKay, who also cancelled the customary scrimmage with the Chicago Bears and limited drills to one instead of the usual two-pe r-day workouts, tion was this comment by quarterback Bert Jones of Louisiana is expected to face the All-Stars despite a pulled leg muscle.

Kaulius, one of P-burg Catholic's outstanding all-around athletes, threw five scoring passes for the Terriers a year ago and has been most impressive for the City team since drills got under way July 16. Rieker, who fired six touchdown passes for Catasauqua last fall, has been waging an interesting battle with Parkland's Bucky Ward and Pius X's Joe Diorio throughout the training period. He throws with equal effectiveness long or short. Emmaus, which won the Lehigh Valley League championship last year, will have five starters on the Suburban offensive and defensive units.

McCormack said the performances of Don Zimmerman, Stan Davis and other wide receivers made Thomas expendable. If they "weren't looking as good as they are, we might have been inclined to let him (Thomas) rest here" at the Widener College camp.

Louverea Top By the Associated Press The Baltimore Colts traded wide receiver-placekicker Jim O'Brien, the hero of Super Bowl to the Detroit Lions Thursday night in exchange for an undisclosed draft choice.

The Philadelphia Eagles, meanwhile, traded running back Al Davis to the Buffalo Bills Thursday for an undisclosed future choice in the National Football League draft. The Eagles also released wide receiver Speedy Thomas, acquired recently from the Cincinnati Bengals. A Colts' spokesman said the draft pick involved in the O'Brien deal had been sent to the Lions last month in a trade that brought veteran defensive tackle Joe Schmiesing to Baltimore. O'Brien was the 12th veteran to be traded by Colts' General Manager Joe Thomas since Jan. 22.
