But his real love and loyalty are with the Chicago Bears. Every move he makes, every measurement he takes, every rating he gives on a player in Akron uniform, is in full consideration of how that playei- eventually will look and act in the uniform of the Chicago Bears. We sat on the bench the other afternoon and watched the Akron Bears work out. "Take that George (Julyanic," Ronzani said. "He's strong and he's fast; he can cany the ball and he can punt.

And he's coming fast as a formation expert. He is further advanced right now than Sid was at the corresponding stage of his career And you know Luckman THE MIGHTV Chjcago Bears, directed by the great Luckman. known to football as Mister Quarterback, will be here Tuesday night for an exhibition clash with the Akron Bears, their farm club in the American Football league. It is inconceivable that the Akron club can beat the big, bad, burly Bears from Chicago. For the Papa Bears this year are said to be the Bears of old and if that is true, not many loams aje going to beat them and certainly no minor league outfit will do so.

Few teams in the history of sports have attained greater prominence than the Bears of Chicago. It is doubtful that any football organization ever reached greater heights than the Bears through the years of 1921 until the inroads of war took most of their star players and their owner-coach, George Halas. Six Times Champions THE BEARS WON six National Football league championships; ld the league's western division seven limes; came, back from a lass to the Washington Redskins in 1340 to defeat the Redskins, 73-0, in the championship playoff game that year. The Bears of 1941 are referred to as the most outstanding football club of all time, gaining 4,265 yards during the season and 6S2 in a game against the tough New York Giants; scoring 396 points, all for league records. The story of the Bears is a story of record-breaking all the way.

They won 18 consecutive games in 1933-34 and came back to tie their own recotd with 18 more in 1911 and 1942, this aggregation of pigskin perambulators which George Halas has put together again and which will play here Tuesday night.

MA UK SON assures us, however, that Mauriello is not superstitious, "except for the fact that he always puts his right shoe on first, always tapes his right hand first, always draws on his right, glove first. He always plucks a hair out of his KH-year-old grandfather's handlebar mustache before a fight, always demands the same dressing room for Madison Square Garden appearances, never wears the same necktie two days in a row, and never, never lets a referee count 10 over him In a fight." THE BEARS HAVE always had great stars; Red Grange, Bronko Nagurski, Beattie Feathers, Jack Manders, Danny Fortman, Bill Hewitt, George McAfee, Sid Luckman Grange was one of the first.

In fact, it was his entree into the National league on Thanksgiving day, 1925, which gave professional football its big boom. Performing under the Halas colors and with a powerful supporting cast, the GJtange-led Bears played before packed stadiums from Chicago to lns Angeles; became as well known and as much talked about as Notre Dame and the New York Yankees of yesteryear. It was not always thus, of course. The Bears got their start as the Decatur Staleys in 1920 following a meeting in Canton that year when the United States Professional Football association was formed, with 23 teams. The league was too big and unwieldy and scarcely functioned during the 1920 campaign Rosies Stay In Tourney coming shortly after the second-half kickoff.

TOM PAGNA'K attempted conversion from placement missed connections. Moments after the ensuing kick-off, East increased its margin, again capitalizing on an alert defense. After failing to penetrate East's forward wall, Kenmore attempted a punt on the 50 with Harry Welch doing the booting. But Bob Smith and Dick Marshall broke through to block the kick and Bill Bezbatchenko gathered up the loose oval and raced 42 yards for pay dirt. This time Pagna added the extra point from placement.

The Rangers tallied midway in the first quarter in their 6-0 triumph over the Commandos, Ralph Bechter, stocky halfback, plunging over from the four to climax a 72-vard advance.

Football was still in its horse and buggy days. Pro players checked into town on Thursdays and Fridays, ran through a few signals on Saturday, played on Sunday, with fans walking along the sidelines abreast of the play. That was the era, however, of big men. Jim Thorpe, Paddy Driscoll, Guy Chamberlain, Fritz Pollard, George Trafton, Fats Henry, Doc Spears But this is a story about the Chicago Bears. Halas moved them to Chicago in 1921 but retained the name of Staleys until 1922, a year after the old association had been changed into the National Football league.

Franchises in the league sold for as low as $50. As late aa 1925 Tim Mara bought the New York Giants franchise for In 1927, less than 20 years ago, progress in pro football was so slow, especially in the east, that a meeting of the Giants and the Bears attracted only 80 paying customers CONDITIONS HAYK changed, of course, and nobody has done more to bring about the changes than George Halas. The Bears' franchise today is valued at well over $1,000,000. Mara's New York franchise is worth as much. The Halas story has its beginning at Crane Tech on Chicago's West Side.

He was a fair high school baseball and football player. He matriculated at Illinois in 1914. Bob Zuppke changed him from backfielder to end. He was not an all-American but he was good enough to win the respect of every opponent in the Big Ten of 1915-1917. Halas left Illinois upon grad with the winner to tackle Detroit Buicks Saturday in opening the three -game finals.

The tournament will end Sunday. TAKING OVER on their 28, the Rangers picked up a first down on Bechter's 12-yard sweep. Sherwood drove to midfield and a pass, Allen Diaz to Campbell, added four more yards. Bechter picked up nine yards and then collaborated with Jim Bond to mark up another first, down on North's 23. After Campbell moved to the 20, the Rangers netted a first down on the eight on a reverse, Diaz, to Campbell.

Bond drove to the four and Bechter followed with the payoff smash. Bechter's attempted conversion from placement for the extra marker was wide.

Ha has never been out of football since except for his services in the navy during the war just ended. He ranks as one of the game's great coaches, one of its best psychologists. He did much to change pro football teams from just collections of big men into closely knit, well drilled and highly spirited teams paralleling the best collegiate outfits. Halas turned the coaching job over to Luke Johnsos and Hunk Anderson when he went into the navy in 1942. His job was to provide recreational facilities for navy personnel in the far reaches of the Central and Southwest Pacific areas.

He received the bronze star from Admiral Nimitz for his fine work, and only recently was he recalled to active duty for one day to be elevated to captain. WRESTLING SATURDAY 3 ONI HOUR MATCHES Danny Savich vs. Copt. Mike Mihalakis Monty Lo Due vs. Milt Olsen Al Zaxz vs.
