HALAS IS LEADER
IN EVERY BRANCH
=
Father of Pro League Was
Star Performer, Now Is
Only 0Wner-Coach.
BY EARL HILLIGAN,
Associatec Press Sports Writer,

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Step right up,
fans, and shake hands with the man
who probably knows more about play
ing on, coaching and owning a big
time football team than any one else
in the world-George Halas of the
Chicago Bears.
That statement takes in a lot of
territory. But Halas himself has cov-
cred lot of ground since that day II
years ago when he had the idea that
gave birth to the now powerful Ma
tional Professional Football League;
he's played with and against some of
the greatest performers of all time;
hes the only owner-coach in the game
today. and he probably is the highest
salaried man in the sport, professional
or amateur.
Halas looks the football player. Six
feet tall, he weighed 204 pounds when
the pro season opened a few weeks
ago. He's down to mere 1873 now, and
grins: boy, this is a tough racket
but I love it."
He's seated at his desk in a down.
town skyscraper. He holds a control
ling interest in large importing and
distributing corporation. A secretary
guards his Office door, others scurry
here and there. It's big business on the
jump. And what is the president of
the corporation doing?
Always on the Jump.
HES DRAWING circles on scores
of sheets of paper; some in red,
some in blue. Some dart into the
open, and, as Halas makes a rapid
stroke, some become involved in rough
collisions.
There's tremendous energy in the
man. Between anxious glances at new
formations for the Bears the telephone
keeps ringing and it's usually a call
about football rather than business
trades, purchases of new players,
ticket sale progress.
1T keeps me hopping" Halas grins,
running big hand through his thin
ming hair. Il worked on football all
summer and during the training sea-
son held skull-sessions every night. 1t
got so hardly ever saw my wife and
two children"
Born In Chicago 42 years ago, Halas

brief trial with the New York YAM
KEGS. played with st. Paul Of the
American Association and then ac-
cepted job as athletic director Of the
Staley Manufacturing Co. at Decatur,
Ill.
Organized Team in 1920.
THIS was in 1920. In the fall of
that year he organized football
team known as the Staleys, which
quickly was recognized as one of the
best professional Quits in the coun-
try. Seeing the possibilities Of pro
football if it were organized and con-
trolled properly, Halas moved the
team to Chicago, leased Wrigley Field
as a playing field and selected the
best of the several "nomad" teams
then playing Thus was the National
Pro League born, with Jim Thorpe the
president.
Halas suggested that the pro game
be opened up, with the result that pro
elevens now put on thrillers which
are drawing crowds of from 10000 to
$4,000 spectators.
After 10 years as player, HalaS in
1929 engaged Ralph Jones, now coach
at Lake Forest, ILL.,, College, to coach
the team. The Bears finished third in
1880 and 1881 and won the league
title in 1882. The coaching bug then
hit Halas again, and he took over the
coaching duties once more, winning
another title in 1888.
College players with big names"
may land jobs with the Bears. but
Halas constantly is looking for players
who were on the second and third
strings during their college careers.
These players. Halas has proved, often
develop in the pro circuit. Coaches,
officials and newspapermen often send
him tips on players they believe can
stand the rough pro league going.
Of the scores of great players he
has played against or known, Halas
believes these seven rank as the great
est gridiron performers of all time:
Jim Thorpe, Paddy Driscoll, now coach
at Marquette; Ernie Nevers, former
Stanford great: the late George Gipp
of Notre Dame, Red Grange, now as
sistant coach for the Bears Bronko
Nagurski, the Bears regular fullback.
