The All-Americans of 1941 aim to repeat 1940s Okies feat by beating the New York Giants in the sixth Tribune Fresh Air Fund game at the Polo Grounds. Coach Jimmy Crowley guides 36 players from 16 colleges, led by Fordham and Boston College alumni, hoping a 30-0 tune-up over the Long Island Indians signals strength. About 50,000 fans expected as Giants train in Superior, Wis, with new talent and faster passing.
