Unfinished Holes To Tie
Nelson's 1874 In Second

ron Nelson, United States PEA.
champion, whipped out a magnifi-
cent IS that shot him into the $10,-
900 Miami open lead today with a
36-hole 1874, exactly six strokes bet
ter than par for the distance.
Nelson's fine score, just one shot
off the course record, sent him
two strokes ahead of little Ben Ho-
gan of White Plains, N. Y, but
there was still a possibility that he
might have to share the top spot
at the half way mark.
Still out on the course when dark
ness fell was Clayton Heather of
Linville, NJ; c., needing par on two
unfinished holes to tie Nelson at
1874. Heafner, who scored a So yes
terday,. will play out his round to-
morrow.
The P.G.A. titlist, n under par
with a first-round SO, clipped five
more strokes off regulation figures
with deadly iron shots. He scored
seven brides.
Hogan; off to a bad start today
after his opening 81, regained his
putting touch for a SO. That broke
a leadership deadlock with tn e
darkhorse Ben Loving of Spring
field, Mass, who pared the course
with a 70. and dropped stroke
back of Hogan with 1877 for SO holes.
With Heather still to be account
ed for, Jim Terrier of Sydney, Aus
tralia. an amateur, moved into the
fourth spot with a 81 for a 1873
total.
Sam Snead of Hot Springs, Va,
winner of this tournament two out
of the last three years, ruined a
beautiful score by losing a total
OF five strokes to par on four holes,
but still carded a 70.
Snead's 36-hole 139 left him even
at the notch with Harold (Jug) Nc
spaden' of Winchester, Mass,
Claude Harmon of Orlando. Fla,
Mike Turnesa of Fairview, N. Y,
and Jim Turnesa of Eastview, N.

-. Time Was When
At one time, George Washington
WAS looked upon askance in its
handling of athletic affairs. South
arm conference members thought
that their mehtdos were not like
what they should be and the OIL
Gals ever refused to SANCTION
Games between member schools
and G. W.
But the Colonials went to pray
err meeting, confessed their sins
and started getting their house in
order for that day to come when
they would be admitted in to thai
great clan of athletic bodies-the
Southern conference.
For the past few years now G..
W. has been applying itself dill
gently with all conference rules,
lining up as many circuit foes In
games as possible and now the day
has arrived.
Congratulations to George Wash
ington. They'll make fine brethren,
we believe.

CHICAC0'S HALAS
IS BUSY BEAVER
Owning And Coachin g Pro
Football Team Just One
Of His Many Jobs
BY TOM SILER

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-lRH Every
body interested in football knows
that George Halas is the guiding
genius of the Chicago Bears-but
comparatively few realize that, off
the field, he's one of the busiest

Owning and coaching the world S
professional gridiron champions is
but n of the many phases of
Halas' extraordinary career.
Forty-four years old and a $685.
day-a-year man, Halas also owns
one of Chicago's largest laundries,
heads a real estate firm, owns a
jeWelry and mail order sporting
goods house, directs a sales pro-
motion agency, owns a third in

professional basketball team, and
has a piece" of a negro heavy

Quite an active individual, who

and is rolling on to a fortune,

OF banquets and stands in on a

Often he sinks into bed at 4 a. m.

in the league last Sunday with that
stlll-hard-to-believe 70 to O rout of
the Washington Redskins for the
pro title, their fourth under the as
tute Ha1as.
A native of Chicago, George
studied to be an engineer a nd
worked his way through the Uni
versity of Illinois, winning letters
in football, basketball and base
ball.
In 1918 he enlisted in the navy
and played in the Rose Bowl with
the Great Lakes naval training

Halas a job as an outfielder. until
