Dated Dream

Last fall it would have been a dream team. For his College All-Star squad, Notre Dame's Coach Frank Leahy had lined up such 1947 gridiron greats as Michigan's Bob Chappuis, Notre Dame's Johnny Lujack and Mississippi's Chuck Conerly. In Chicago last week, before a crowd of 101,220, the collegians (most of whom would shortly be pros) kicked off against the Chicago Cardinals, 1947 pro champions of the National Football League.

The Cardinals, led by Missouri's Paul Christman and Georgia's Charlie Trippi, were out to justify their paychecks (the collegians have won the last two games). From a T-formation, the Cardinals marched 80 yards to the game's first touchdown, stopped the only All-Star bid on the one-yard line, scored the most one-sided victory in the 15-year series, 28-0.
