When the first College All-Stars team played the Chicgo Bears to a scoreless tie in 1934, it was actually a major coup for professional football, which was viewed as inferior to college clubs at that juncture. Known as the Chicago College All-Star Game, it was played annually in the Pre-season until 1976. Such a concept would be utter anathema by NFL owners today. (Add picture)

I took this game for granted until it disappeared.
Now the closest thing would be the East-West
and Blue-Gray games. It gave fans a chance to see
players from teams they hadn't followed closely.
But, like the Pro Bowl and most pre-season NFL,
it wasn't the same as a "real" game.

It's one of those things that would never even be considered today. Imagine a team signing their #1 Draft Pick for $50M and seeing him wipe out his knee in a meaningless exhibition game. But at the outset, in the '30s and '40s, it was a compelling game as the NFL struggled for legitimacy.
