BELLINO, Q-BACKS LEAD UPSET BID EAGLES ARE 9-POINT FAVORITES AT SOLDIER FIELD TONIGHT Chicago highest rated group of College football All-Stars ever assembled, with an attack centered around Joe Bellino, Norm Snead, Bill Kilmer and Tom Matte, takes on the Philadelphia Eagles tonight at Soldier Eield before a crowd of 65,000. The game will be televised bv ABC starting at 8 p.m., EST. Hot and humid weather with an outside chance of showers is forecast. Proceeds go to the Chicago Tribune Charities, Inc. In the past 27 games the Collegians have won 8 and tied 2, but have always entered the contest decided underdogs.

This year the Eagles, National Football League champions, are favored by 9 to 9Mi points, fewjest ever given the pro champions.

He won the first game, 35-19, against the Detroit Lions, but lost the next two.

Injuries have bothered the All-Stars. Tommy Mason of Tulane, Bob Gaiters of New Mexico State and Jim Johnson of UCLA may not see action. Eagle QB Uncertain The Eagles, who flew here from Hershey, Thursday, have not yet settled on a quarterback successor to the great, retired Norm Von Brocklin. Sonny Jurgenson or King Hill may get the call. Tommy McDonald, the ex-Oklahoma back who is a star of the Eagles, has been pronounced physically fit to play after a pulled muscle in his chest mended.

At the 18th green, Borner had sunk a pressure-packed putt to avoid an upset. He and Iaiu each were shooting birdie putts of about 18 feet, but Charlie went well past the hole and lagged POINT BLANK 4 4 4 By Don Bryant Sports Editor, The Football Countdown The countdown for the 1961 football season has begun. Tonight the College All Stars will meet the Philadelphia Eagles in Chicago, the annual season curtain-raiser, and the pros are already well into their practice sessions. You can feel the tempo quickening in the University of Nebraska football office, too. A visit Wednesday was typical.

Assistant coaches Cletus Fischer and Dick Monroe were engrossed in a movie. Not a cartoon by any means, either. It was a film of the Arizona 1960 game with Arizona State let me tell you that Arizona is a good football Fischer confided as Monroe nodded in agreement. In ease slipped your mind, Nebraska plays host to Arizona at Memorial Stadium on Sept. 30.

the second game of the campaign. I looked in on the flickers and saw quick starting backs (who looked big) flit through gaping holes torn by fast-stepping guards and practically fly down the field. they can backs are Monroe mused. I got the distinct impression from the two Husker coaches that the NU staff has the greatest respect for Arizona. By way of confirmation, Monroe added, LaHue (Arizona coach) has really done a great job down NU headman Bill Jennings several times has confided that Arizona shapes up as perhaps the key hurdle on the schedule this fall.

Double Take With these thoughts still in mind I returned to the office and was knocked for a loop by a newspaper clipping. Big, black letters announced: Taking Arizona Authored by veteran scribe Abe Chanin of Arizona Star, the article reads, in part: takes its first football trip into the land of the Cornhuskers in September and Nebraskans are betting it be a fruitful trip for the Wildcats the Huskers will be strong favorites, This season Nebraska fans are still grumbling over last failures (Abe apparently aware that Husker fans bruise easy but heal are surprisingly optimistic each fall) and they figure it be too tough in 1961 because the Huskers open with a breatheT in North Dakota and then meet an Arizona football team the next week The early schedule pose too many problems, say Nebraskans, but pointing ahead to the 4th game of the season when Syracuse, national powerhouse, comes to Lincoln Nebraskans say heard of great backfield, but they believe that will be enough to score an upset Sept. 30. Wow, and double wow! Wonder who those Nebraskans were who did the talking to Abe. They must not have heard about NU games with Iowa State, Kansas State, Olahoma State, in recent years.

Tough as the Huskers have been in some games, they certainly matured to the place where they can be complacent. No Breather quite are the coaches, and hoped the players, Nebraska will have its hands full with Arizona on Sept. 30. But just in case Abe was tuned in on the right channel and the Huskers (and their backers) are planning on taking a day off when the Wildcats play here, this would be a good time to dispel any thoughts of a soft touch. Arizona is LOADED with talent and is well-drilled.

In quarterback Eddie Wilson and halfbacks Joe Hernandez Bobby Lee Thompson, the Wildcats will have one of the best backfields the Huskers will see all season. At any rate, 1 hope Abe Chanin is all wrong. Nebraska afford to take any opponent lightly. Charlie rimmed the cup on a straight-in 6 footer on the first extra hole to miss the birdie that would have ended the match right there. His chip on the 20th hole came from the collar of a two-level green.

He shot from the high side, the ball nearly stopping before going down the hill close enough for the clincher. Lau had made a tough chip from bare dirt, but the ball sneaked past the hole 5 feet and he missed the putt to close out his dramatic challenge. Both boys were just over par with after the first 18 and both shot par 5 on the first extra hole. Cross built his margin over Sweetman on the back 9. The two were even at the turn with 42's.

First flight matches were also close. Tim Nelson defeated Tom Connors 3 anti two and Galen CUstrom ousted Dave Griffith, 3 and one.
