30 Is professional football improving or is college gridiron; talent deteriorating? This is the question up for. debate today in the wake of last night's bottle staged be-; fcre 84,567 spectators at Sol-j dier Field when the Green Boyj Packers smothered the College All-Stars under a score of 45-28. High Scoring Record. The Packers set a high scoring record in winning the seventh All- Star game. The victory gave the professional league an edge of three to two w'on in the series, the other two ccssionc ending in ties.

In defeat, the All-Stars tied the previous scoring record and the totals chalked up by the two teams came within five of equaling the total points of all previous games. Coach Eddie Anderson of Iowa had drilled his All-Stars in an effort to do something about a Herber-to-Hutson scoring combin- 1 ordeal of his peculiar ca- of Packers, but Coach I Curly Lambeau tricked the All-1 Stars by using an Isbell-to-Hutson promise and blasted by duo.

The lineups used by the All- Star coaches last night also present a debatable issue. The fans of the nation selected their first team, but the All-Star coaches evidently agree that it was the best. The game was not more than two minutes old before there were at least six new faces in the college lineup. Incidentally, about 30 athletes came to Chicago just for the nde and to watch the game. The All-Stars can at least boast two accomplishments last won the t-'ss and they scored the first tcnichdown, but it be hard to find anything else they won.

It just took the All-Stars a matter of three and one-half minutes to score the first touchdown, but then the Packers cut a minute from the running time in knotting the count in tw'O and one- half minutes. Too Much Isbell. In all fairness, it must be said that the All-Stars had considerable talent on the field, including such performers as Nile Kinnick of low'a, Ambrose Schindler of Southern California, Harold Van Every of Minnesota, Ken Kavanaugh of Louisiana State, Bob Kellogg of Tulane and Kenny Washington of U. S. L.

A. in the offensive department. In defensive play, Harry Smith of Southern California, Lee Artoe of Santa Slara, Mel of Illinois, Cylde Turner of Hardin- Simmons and Edw'ard Kolman, among others, did yeoman service. Last encounter was just an old story of experience against youth and ambition, with the usual result. There were few in the workmanship of the Packers.

They missed few assignments and gave an excellent demonstration in the finer points of football. If a vote were taken on the outstanding performer in last encounter, Cecil Isbell have been given the nod by acclamation.

Tightens in the Clutch. Established favorite in all of his major starts, due to the excellence of his mechanical skill, Snead persistently has whipped one way or another by his own imagination and his ow'n tightening up in the clutch, with the result that Sarazen conceivably could almost as he pleased today in the feature of what suddenly has become one of the most dramatic P.

A tournaments of recent years, been one of staunchest supporters ever since the hill-billy hit the big time and, as employes of the same golf goods concern, Sarazen has made it his business to see that Snead did all right. Sarazen roomed ith Snead just years ago during the P.

Sam Snead Paul Runyan vs. Jug McSpaden. Byron Nelson vs. Eddie Kirk. Ben Hogan vs.

Ralph Guldahl. Snead may win his match. He has the game, but even if he does he probably will have to confront Runyan in the semi-finals and Sara zcn and a probable Runyan match he might well imagine him- self right out of the tournament. Runyan gave him the w'orst beating of his career that aforementioned Shaw-. nee a- t.

The GENE SARAIEN. score in that one was 8 and 7. Snead has never forgotten it. Blows the Big Ones. He has no relish for a return engagement with Runyan, for one thing, but neither does he want any part of Sarazen, who fired a 68 on his second 18 yesterday in scoring his one-up victory over Defending Champion Henry Picard.

This well m.ight be the turning point of one of the most promising golf careers of recent years. Everybody persistently has been saying as a preface to all tournaments that Snead must win this one or be through for good, only to give him one more chance and make him favorite the next time. If he win this one, you can forget about him permanently, a.s have been trying to do ever since we became convinced that he always will blow the big ones. Gene At His Best. What Snead be able to overlook is that Sarazen played the kind of golf yesterday that inspires fiction stories.

Sarazen six feet Despite the pressure, he sank his for a halve and for a That ought to take care of the drama department. Meantime, McSpaden was eliminating Hagen by one up in the other feature match, Nelson taking care of Dick Metz, the hottest golfer in the tournament and the medalist, 2 and 1. The rest of the matches were more or less hum-drum, with the same in prospect for today in all save vs. Snead.

It is a tribute to the dean of coaches. Notre Dame is in a position to be choosey.

Forty yards against Iowa State; 20-yard punt runback, paving the w'ay to his field goal that gave Nebraska a 10 to 7 victory.

But in his pre-view of 1940, Mr. Ware is decidedly he is content to suggest that the title race probably will feature a three-cornered rookus involving Missouri, last winner, Nebraska and Oklahoma, concluding with the following vague hint that the Huskers may merit considerable attention.

Season Book Sale Is Real Bargain he $2.50 price at which "Nebraska points finger is the single game price, whereas the season book cost of $10 for the five games actually is less than $2 per game. How come? Nothing more complicated than simple arithmetic is involved. The season book fee of $10 represents absorption by the Nebraska management of the federal tax of 10 per cent. In other words the book purchaser is paying only $9.09 cents to the athletic department and 91 cents to Uncle Sam. On this basis, the Cornhusker management is selling the five home games for an average price of $1.82 cents.

A mpdest price it surely is for a home schedule which lists Indiana. Iowa, Missouri, Iowa State and Kansas State as opponents.
