September 1: College All-Stars 6, Green Bay 0

(CHICAGO) - Samuel Adrian Baugh - "Slingin' Sam" of TCU - is all the football player anybody ever said he was, as the professional champion Green Bay Packers will arise en masse to attest. The Packers had heard about Baugh, but they had to wait until last night at Soldier Field, with a thrilled throng of 85,560 fans looking on to get it first hand. They became the first professional team to take a beating from an All-Star college aggregation, and it was Baugh.who was the number one hero of the Collegians' 6 to 0 triumph. The former TCU ace was expected to give Green Bay's Arnie Herber quite a battle at passing, but he wound up by outshining his professional rival at throwing the football when the blue chips were down, and did a lot of other things besides. Early in the first period, Baugh started the one successful thrust of the night, by a quick kick over the Packer goal line. The return boot by Clarke Hinkle, the Packers' great fullback, went out of bounds on the Collegians'

48-yard line. Baugh called two running plays, then electrified the huge crowd by uncorking the payoff pass of the game, a 20-yard shot to Gaynell Tinsley, LSU's All America end. Tinsley caught the ball 28 yards from the Packer goal, executed a neat change of pace to leave Hank Bruder clawing air and raced to the touchdown. Sam Francis, Nebraska's All-American' fullback failed on the extra point. Green Bay tried everything in their bag of tricks to fight their way back to victory. With Herber firing passes and Joe Laws, running with the ball, they outgained the Collegians in first downs, 17-8, and in total yardage, 343 to 185. but their best was a rousing 73 yard drive that fell three yards short of a touchdown in the second period.
