An air of tenseness and renewed deterraination prevailed as the collegians, their last four days of work, rushed through their 18th practice session in preparation for their game against the Chicago Bears, world's professional champions, at Soldiers' field Friday night. One of the chief reasons for the new Zest was the presence of Bernie Masterson, giant quarter back from Nebraska, who took his first full workout under the direction of Coaches Noble rizer, Jimmy Crowley, Mel El-ward, and Dick lIanley. Strengthens Pass Attack.

Masterson's appearance in the All-Star backfield increased the effectiveness of the All-Stars' pass attack and for the first time observers found substantiation for their contention that the collegians will have better passers than the Bears. The Nebraska star completed pass after pass to ends and backs. exhibiting an uncanny accuracy and timing In his throws. He is a tall, fast man, surprisingly lithe for his 190 pounds. and is expected to be equally potent in the All-Star attack as a blocker and handler of kicks as on the starting end of long passes to Canrinius and Smith, the two excellent receivers who probably will start at the ends against the Bears.

In Perfect Condition. 'The collegians have reached per. feet physical condition and enter the last four days of drill confident they will be able to match the Bears in power and fitness. Talk in the dressing rooms and on the practice field indicates that the men feel obligated to the fans who selected them in a nation-wide poll as the players best -fitted to contest the right of the Bears to football supremacy. This feeling, Is unanimous in the squad and is reflected in the daily drills.

The All-Stars are out to win and believe they will. Aaron Rosenberg, University of Southern California guard, has attended every practice since he has been able to hobble around on his leg and sat along the sidelines again yesterday encouraging the three squads In their drill. Rosenberg still entertains hope of playing, although physicians have informed coaches his knee injury is not likely to heal sufficiently to permit his participation. Concentrate on Defense. With Masterson's passing elevating the All-Stars' aerial game to the heights the coaches have been seeking, time will be devoted to defense today and tomorrow.

A lecture has been called for 10:30 o'clock this morning and this afternoon at 3 o'clock the squad will assemble behind locked gates for a long scrimmage in which Kizer, Crowley, and Elward will stress all departments of play. More heavy work is scheduled for tomorrow and on Wednesday the drill will be tapered off. Practice will be concluded Thursday night at Soldiers' field under the lights. The principal oncern of the coaches on defense is stopping Bronko Nagur. ski, the Bears' full back.

If they can halt the charges of the former Minnesota star, the All-Stars expect to pile up the Bears' attack. Rosenberg and Griffith, who have played against the Bears, have convinced the rest of the squad Nagurskl can be kept from running wild. Bernard, at center, and Mikulak at full back, two men who will be the kingpins in any defensive maneuvers against Nagurski, since they back up the line, are both huge, rugged fellows with a flair for rough going. No team In the professional league can boast a better pair of defensive men, In the opinion of qualified observers. It is on these two men that the All-Stars pin their hopes.

Spectators who have followed the College All-Stars in their daily drills at Evanston found themselves In Hans Nusslein, world professional champion, added the national professional tennis title to his collection yesterday at the South Shore Country club when he defeated Karel Kozeluh, Czechoslovakia. In four 'sets, 6-4; 6-2, 1-6, 7-5. A capacity crowd of 3,500 watched the two wizards of the court match strokes for the title which Kozeluh won two years ago by defeating Nusslein in the final. Emmett Pare, 'Memphis, and Bruce Barnes. St.

Louis, took the doubles championship with a straight set victory over Ellsworth Vines Pasadena, and Paul Heston, Washington. D. C. Scores were 6-1. 6-4, 7-5.

Keeps Czech on Run. Kozeluh faced a different player yesterday as Nusslein mixed soft slices to midcourt with stinging drives, to the corners and kept the Czech on the run throughout the in h. Kozeluh's lift shots carried about half the speed that Nusslein put on his flat drives. Kozelnh made many apparently Impossible gets on Nusslein's slants Into the corners, often sending up beautiful deep lobs after barely getting his racket on the ball. After taking the first two sets, 6-4, 6-2, Nusslein got off to a bad start In the third and played carelessly.

throwing it when the count 'reached 4-1 against him to save hie strength for the fourth set. Kozelnh used undercut sliees and chops with his usual lift drives to hold Nusslein even to 4all in the fourth set, and pile up a 40-0 lead in the next game. NUSSICITI then rallied to make it 30-40. On the next point the ball crossed the net 81 times be. fore Nusslein tucked away a short one at the net to lead, 5-4.

Kozeluh pulled even at five-all on his service, but Nusslein was not to be denied and won the last two for set and match, 7-5. of pitching the 43,000 fans present hoped he'd show the world Licked 'em, 7 to 1, Lon and his associe ates did, and with a skimp allotment of three hits, two of which were knocked by Mel Ott. Lon was magnificent as a pitcher and he was no slouch with his bat. He drove in the third run in the fifth, and he drove in the fourth and fifth runs when he singled off Fitzsimmone with the bases full in the sixth. Nonessential runs, as it turned out, but great little comforters for the Cube and depressers for the spirited Warneke walked no One and the Cubs made no errors.

Only three rune ners reached base, therefore, and Ott, who scored the lone run, was the only' New Yorker to reach second. Three More for Charley. Warneke was closely coupled with his boss for stellar honors in the fine show. Manager Charles Grimm. who got back in the game Saturday with a perfect day at bat against the Dodgers, turned in another perfect offensive under the exhileration of his reappointment as manager, announced.

just before the game. but which he probably knew about when he had his perfect day Saturday. Grimm, just as he did on Saturda7, made three hits and drew a pass in. four trips to the plate. But they were much more productive hits yesterday' than they were the day before.

In the second inning old creaking Charles. with the creaks all gone, drove George Stainback home with the first run of the game with a wicked line single to left. In the fourth he again scored Stainback with the second Chicago run and put Hartnett on third, whence he later scored. This time Charles knocked a double. In the sixth he was given an intentional pass and later scored, and in the seventh he wound up with a single.

He made several fine plays at first, one of which was a bare handed stop of Watkins' potential double, which he converted into a side-retiring- Stainback Has Perfect Day. Stainback wasn't far behind War. neke and Grimm in the hero bracket. The speedy youngster also had a per feet day, with two singles, a sacrifice, and a walk. He scored three times and stole a base.

The Giants took their spanking rather calmly, which perhaps was the only way they could take it in view' of the kind of pitching Warneke was firing at them. Then, too, they had the knowledge that they still are 514 games ahead of the Cubs and soon will be back on their beloved Polo grounds for a long stand.

AL Walker of the Cubs announced early Sunday morning that Charles J. Grimm had been engaged to manage the Cubs in 1935." Will Be His Eleenth Year. Club officials later amplified the formal statement by saying that Grimm had been tendered a contract for next year with an option on his services for an indefinite period beyond that term. Grimm thus became assured of his eleventh year of employment with the Cubs to whom he came as a player In November, 1924, in a deal which also brought Rabbit Blaranville and Wilbur Cooper to the Cubs and sent Aldridge, Grantham, and Niehaus to the Pirates. Grimm succeeded Rogers Hornsby as manager of the Cubs on the night of Aug.

2, 1932, when the Cubs were in second place five games back of the leading Pirates. The Cubs. like the present team. had been spending most of the time whispering about the manager and speculating on the name of Incumbent's probable successor. Just What They Needed.

Announcement of Grimm's rise to the managership immediately had the desired effect. The players quit gossiping and went back to playing baseball. The result was that they went into first place on Aug. 11 by a margin of a half game. Later they staged a great home stand and won the 1932 National league pennant by a margin of four games, a net gain of nine games in less than eight weeks in comparison with the team they overtook.

The rumorsmiths twice this year have had Grimm hanging on by his eyelashes. In June, when the team flopped badly, there were many rumors of his ousting. These quieted down when the team appeared to have awakened on its second eastern trip, but bobbed up again when the lads went dead on their return to Chicago. Too Many Announcements. Then, a week ago last night, President Walker announced that Grimm had been given a vacation that he might go to his home in St.

Louis to doctor his depressed spirits and aching joints. He said Gabby Hartnett would be acting manager. The next day, Grimm. in St. Louis, said he'd simply gone there to peddle a passel of land.

And last Monday night Owner Wrigley announced that he had Insisted upon Grimm's leaving town to rest his nerves and muscles. To further confuse the picture, Grimm showed up In Chicago last Tuesday morning. The rumors which had been fabricated before and while Grimm was in St. Louis were quieted somewhat by his sudden return, but have flared several times, with the players the leading gossipers. Catcher Gabby Hartnett (left) congratulates Charley Grimm upon his selection to lead the Cubs for another Grimm's appointment for 1935 was announced just before the game with the Giants at Wrigley field yesterday.

The Cubs then stepped out and defeated the league leaders, 7 to 1. BY IRVING VAUGHAN. The pro Bears may beat the college AD-Stars eleven and then again may lose when they meet at Soldiers' I field next Friday I evening, but one 4 thing is certain t' and that is that it will be the I Ai', 221st football 't battle in which i Harold (Red 1 de' Grange, ex-Illini wizard, has par. ticipated. That's i a lot of football 4, -i for one man, but 4 the quiet red 4 head, a bit 1 heavier around the cheeks and rounder at the RED GRANGE.

waist line, doesn't think it's time to quit. Grange's sixteen years of service in high school, at Illinois and on the pro gridiron, probably entitle him to claim he's carried a football farther and oftener than any other athlete ever In the game. Figures covering his career show that he has lugged the ball approximately 32,500 yards. or slightly less than nineteen miles. Some of this ground was covered during four years at Wheaton High, some in his three years on the Illini varsity eleven, and some during his eight seasons as a pro.

What he did while with the Illinois freshmen isn't counted. And ball carrying has been only a part of the famous red head's work on the gridiron. Since his high school clays he has been a passer and a receiver of passes. He has blocked on offense and tackled on defense. Ile always has been, and still is, an old reliable at breaking up enemy pass attacks, and it la in the latter connection that the Bears now find him of greatest value.

A few the tackles, however, stand out in Grange's memory. He says he was hit the hardest of his career when be played his first college Ed Weir of Nebraska was his assailant When he was with the New York pro team in 1927 George Trafton, then the Bears' center, hugged Red with such gusto that the famous athlete was out for the season. --0-- When Grange played his first game at Wheaton High he was nervous because 300 people were watching the activity. But there was nothing nervous about him when he closed his collegiate career in Ohio State's I bowl before a turnout of 90,000, which was all that could be crammed into the place. It was Grange who drew most of those 90,000 to the spot.

It also was Grange who brought 74,000 into the Polo grounds when he played his first pro game in New York. Grange went to Illinois with no thought of turning to football for recreation. Despite his high school record he didn't consider himself a worthy performer on the gridiron. A place on the college basketball and track teams was all he wanted. He was doubly convinced that his chances were slim when he viewed an Illini squad of a hundred or more.

But his fraternity members insisted he turn out. He never got around to his first loves, basketball and track. The Bears took another step toward perfection for their meeting with the All-Stars by running through another signal drill yesterday morning. They were excused from afternoon labor. Passes again received most of the attention and in this connection several of the new men were dropped in among the regulars at various times.

Today the program will be a bit more strenuous. The second scrimmage of the training grind will be put On this morning, and this evening the squad will move to Northwestern's practice field for the initial workout under electric light. Gene Ronzani, one of the Bears' star half backs, Was still missing from practice. However, the leg injured in the first scrimmage last Thursday is showing improvement, and there now is a good possibility that he will be able to take a hand in Friday battle. Bill Karr, regular end, also was out for the second consecutive day because of infected teeth.

Pare and Barnes defeated their strongest rivals for the doubles title In the semi-finals Friday when they eliminated Nusslein and Kozeluh. The smooth working American youngsters had little difficulty with Vines and Heston, in the first set, volleying and smashing with 'speed and precision.

20. BY CHARLES BARTLETT. One Sunday afternoon in the summer of 1906, the town baseball team of Nekoosa, assembled and hied itself over to the neighboring village of there to do battle with the local nine in a rivalry which was then as bitter throughout Wood county as the contemporary vendetta between the Cubs and Mr. Comiskey's Hitless Wonders. Nekoosa was relying on the stout arm of one Bob Friedrich, a fifteen year old who was unusually large for his age.

When the game was called, Robert didn't spare that member. shutting out the enemy while his colleagues were lambasting the entire Pittsville pitching staf for something like 17 runs. Unfortunately. while the Nekoosa lads were savoring the fruits of victory, they were informed that the game's receipts would not blanket the expenses of the victors, which had been previously guaranteed. A Bright Idea.

Obviously, something would have to be done to see the guests home. A bright mind in the conference which followed then suggested a wrestling match. PittsvMe, on its team, had one George Brown, who was not only a good ball player, but a very good wrestler as well, having already acquitted himself nobly as a professional, working with Fred Beal, then a headliner in the business. They named Brown to exchange grips with whomsoever Nekoosa would choose to send against him, the proceeds of the joust Looking at the two, you might have said It was not a fair go, for in addition to his professional experience, Brown was about twenty years old and weighed 190 pounds, a margin of nearly 25 pounds over the youthful Friedrich. There was another and more personal handicap for the junior member of the party, for whereas Brown was equipped with orthodox wrestling trunks, Friedrich had been forced to come forth In a snug pair of under.

drawers, reinforced by a battery of safety pins. Throughout the first ten minutes of the match, he had not only Brown to contend with, but also the danger of the pins coming asunder. At the end of those ten minutes, he had averted this horror, and found himself with a headlock on Brown, a hold which came natural to him even at that age. A spectator held a watch on the duration of that grip, and after he had sustained it for 26 crushing minutes, Brown collapsed, and Nekoosa went home with the purse and a double HELEN JACOBS LOTT WIN U.

George Lott of Chicago and Helen Jacobs, American women's champion of Berkeley, today won the mixed national doubles tennis championship by defeating Lester Stoefen of Los Angeles and Elizabeth Ryan of Eng. land, 4-6, 13-11, 6-1 at Germantown Cricket club. HAMBURG, Germany, Aug. Max Schmeling, black uhlan of the Rhine, began his climb back toward the world heavyweight championship today by stopping blond Walter Neusel after eight rounds of their 12 rouni bout before a crowd of more than 100,000.

Schmeling weighed 193.8 pounds; Neusel, 198. Battered to the point of exhaustion by his rival's savage body punching, Neusel did not answer the bell for the ninth round and Schmeling was awarded the victory on a technical knockout. Max Pounds at Body. The former world title holder's triumph, carrying with it the German heavyweight championship, precipitated Schmeling once more into the forefront of challengers for Max Baer's crown. Schmeling will sail for the United States next month.

Schmeling fought a heady battle against his youthful opponent. He made Neusel do the leading and then cracked the blond about the body as he came in wide open. He opened a cut on Neusel's chin in the second round and another gash over Walter's right eye. Neusel Takes Punishment. Neusel, awkward against Schmeling's smart and skilful boxing, absorbed punishment from the start.

He was completely exhausted at the end of the eighth round and could not come out for the ninth. It was Neusers open style plus his efforts for an early knockout that brought about the youngster's Herbert, Player in First NATIONAL LEAGUE. Pct. Pet. New York .78 44 .639 Pittsbgh.
