NEW YORK (UPI) - Forty
three years ago a young drafts
man named George Halas
stretched wearily up from his
drawing board, looked slowly
around the room at several
"elderly men," and walked off
his new job.
"I made up my mind I
wasn't going to wind up labor
ing over a drafting board when
I got to be SO or 55," he said.
That's the same George Ha
las who Sunday, at 68, piloted
the Chicago Bears to the top of
the Western Division in the Na
tional Football League with a
26-7 victory over the mighty
Green Bay Packers.
You don't do that for the sec
ond time in one season to the
Packers, two-straight champi
ons of. the NFL, without bend
ing over a play-making board
many hours and spending many
more in detailed preparation
and coaching for the job at
hand.
-To be fair with the "Papa
Bear," he retired from coach
ing when he was 35. . .and
when he was 47. . .and when he
was 60. But one thing being an
other, he made three come
backs and now is in position
for a possible shot at his eighth
world championship.
Organizer Of Bears
Halas, in his various retire
ments, never got farther than
the front office. And his longev
ity in' the tough pro football
business is- a tribute to more
than the fact that he organized
the Bears when the league was
formed in 1920 and in short or
der became their owner.
An end at Illinois under Bob
Zuppke in 1915-17, he also
played for the Great Lakes
.' team which beat the Mare Is
land Marines in the Jan. 1, 1919
; Rose Bowl game. But, after
chucking his job as a drafts-
' man, he persuaded officials of
the Staley Starch works in De
catur, 111., to form a team in
' the new league which finally
has become the NFL
. The team lost $15,000 but,
' shifting them to Chicago, Halas
picked up a fast $5,000 in oper
ating capital by agreeing to
call them the Staleys again in
1921. After that they .were his
Bears.
Halas fired himself in 1930
i but returned three years later.
In 1942 he gave up his post
again to become Commander
; Halas in the World War II
Navy, serving actively in the
South Pacific. V
Back from the war, he re
sumed his duties, won a title
in 1946, and then retired again
after the 1955 season. But three
years later he boosted his in
. terim successor upstairs and
again took over the reins "for
only one year."
i Wants One More
That "one year" has extend
ed right up to the present and
his plea now is that he wants
'"just one more championship."
This may be the year be

cause the Bears, like Sunday
when they won the big one "for
the old man," have vowed to
go all the way for him. They
may, the way they are putting
out as a team.
Up until this second meeting
with the Packers, the offense
seemingly couldn't get out of
its own way. So they exploded
for 26 points that made it easy.
Meanwhile, the defensive team
was its usual miserly self, shut
ting out the famed Packer of
fense until there was only four
minutes and 10 seconds remain
ing. And in 10 games they have
allowed only 89 points in post
ing a 9-1 record.
In this connection you might
remember that the Bears beat
the Washington Redskins, 73-0,
in the 1940 playoff game alone.
Packer Coach Vince Lombar
di, dejected after this second
seasonal defeat at the hands of
the Bears, said he couldn't help
feeling a little happy for "Papa
George."
"He's a helluva man," said
Lombardi.
They all just hope that he'll
win his "one more title" and
retire. This time for good.
Chicken War May
Reach Settlement
WASHINGTON (UPI) - A
basis for settlement of the U.S.
common market "chicken war"
has been reached with Ameri
can acceptance Thursday of the
finding by a panel of trade ex
perts. The panel, established by the
General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade (GATT), estimated
that the United States lost $26
million a year in its exports to
the common market because of
the market countries' prohibi
tive duty on poultry imports.
Christian A. Herter, the Pres
ident's special representative
for trade negotiations, said in a
statement that the United
States will now proceed with
plans to increase American tar
iffs on selected items equivalent
to $26 million worth of common
market imports into this coun
try. Noting that the tariff experts'
estimate of the losses to the
United States were $20 million
below U.S. estimates, Herter
said: . u ,
"It Is"'-a judgment rendered
by a panel of distinguished in
dividuals who are thoroughly
familiar with GATT practices
and procedures and . it will
therefore be accepted by the
United States in good faith."

PHOENIX, VALE
Semifinal
Saturday
Afternoon
PHOENIX - Phoenix High
School's pillaging Pirates, whom
pollsters nominated as most
likely to succeed, take their
raiding forces to far off Eastern
Oregon Saturday for the next
skirmish in their campaign for
the state's Class A-2 titular foot
ball laurels.
The Buccaneers, rated No. 1
in their class in season polls,
contend against the Vale Vik
ings at Vale with kickoff at
12:30 p.m. (PST). It will be a
championship semifinal game.
Phoenix's power-geared and
explosive touchdown combina
tion bears a 10-game unbeaten
just -once -scored-on record into
the struggle for state finalist
berth. Vale is 9-1 for the fall.
Despite having met just five
Oregon teams so far this sea
son, the Vikings garnered the
No. 2 final ranking in two of
the three prep polls.
Single Wing Teams
Winner of the Phoenix - Vale
tangle will go into the cham
pionship finale against either
Florence's Siuslaw High or
Portland's North Catholic team.
Those aggregations also contend
on Saturday afternoon at Flor
ence: This is a football era when
brands of T formation offense
predominate. Both Vale and
Phoenix have T repertoires.
But, single wing football how
beit different versions is the
forte of the Pirates and the
Viks. And, the fact that single
wing is still reliable means of
engineering football travel is in
dicative in their records.
Phoenix, employing unbalanc
ed line formation, has Jim Cons-
bruck, Jon Granby, Dennis
Grennan, Dale Sauer and Ron
Williams as running weapons.
Williams and Ken Hawkins pro
vide the throwing arms and

Stanford's
Al Masters
PALO ALTO, Calif. (UPD-
The "Big Game" between Stan
ford and California goes on
Saturday but without the dig
nified presence of Al Masters,
the Indians veteran athletic di
rector, who succumbed to can
cer Thursday.
Masters, 65, died at Stanford-
Palo Alto hospital after battling
the disease since 1957 when he
underwent two operations.
Long a foe of awarding "free
rides" to potential stars at his
college, Masters had retired as
Stanford's athletic director last
winter after holding the post
under other titles since 1925.
Funeral arrangements are
pending.
Masters, grey and outspoken,
was a key figure during the
1956 disclosures of football scan
dals that caused the Pacific
Coast Conference to collapse.
Favored Penalties
He stuck to his vote favoring
heavy penalties which were lev
ied against four member
schools and had tried to keep
the conference intact.
Masters also was a leading
figure in organizing the drama
tic United States-USSR track
and field meet held at Stanford
Stadium during the summer of
1962.
A native of Portland, Ore.,
Masters captained Stanford's
soccer team and graduated with
a degree in geology in 1924.
Following a year in private
business, he returned to Stan
ford as graduate manager. Lat
er he became the general man
ager of the Board of Athletic
Control and was named director
of physical education and ath
letics in 1946.
Forty Niners May
Battle Weather, Too
REDWOOD CITY. Calif. (UPI)
The San Francisco Forty
Niners may have to battle the
elements in Milwaukee Sunday,
as well as the Green Bay Pack
ers. The weather forecast was for
probable rain and or snow.
Coach Jack Christiansen said
he would start the same lineup
that took it on the chin from
the New York Giants last Sun
day. He said that the club had
no new serious injuries.
EXTRA PROTEIN
The extra protein in one ton
of alfalfa cut at the early bloom
stage, rather than the mid'
bloi stage, is equivalent to

Chester: A speedster in the
backfield is Mel Hyland. He's a
wingback and is dangerous as
a pass receiver. Ends and po
tential pass catchers are Jerry
Wilcox and Gary Lavender. In
gram to Hyland is a strong pass
ing combination.
The two clubs are largely
ground assaulting crews but
both can take to the air with
good results.
Evening Factors.
Phoenix's just slightly higher
rating would put it in the favor
ed category but Vale s advan
tage of its home field and the
long jaunt that the Pirates are
making across the state serve as
evening factors.
Both participants in the East
ern Oregon tussle have had high
scoring seasons. Phoenix has a
better defensive mark with just
the one touchdown against it. -

IN A-2
Phoenix has memories of a
co-chamionship in 1961 to spur
it on. The Pirates would like
the crown unshared. Vale has
won the Class A-2 mantle four
times the last time in 1958.
The Vikings have been in the
state playoffs 11 times. Phoenix
has been in them the last five
seasons playing in the semi
finals each .year.
The Pirates and Vale, have
met once before 1959 with
the Viks winning the semifinal
41-14.
No Common Rival
Vale and Phoenix, from op
posite sides of the state, met
no common foe this fall. Any
comparison which can be made
is thereby indirect. , However,
the Vikings last- week in the
