A host of dignitaries and football greats will gather to dedicate the Hall, a symbolic shrine to a sport that grew from a little-noticed meeting here 43 years ago into one of the country's great spectator sports.

Coach Buddy Parker, having finally discovered a springy, resilient practice field, is pouring the work to the Steelers this week.

BIKDER.MAI Press Writer MILWAUKEE, Sept. 5 -For a fellow who didn't win workout of the season yesterday, a blistering two-hour drill for the general squad and an i additional 30 minutes for United Press International General Manager Bing.

De-vine says he can see "definite signs" of a Cardinal pennant victory despite a wavering voice from Los Angeles that keeps saying that's a lot of bird-seed. Devine claims that the Cardinal players, all fired up by a seven-game winning streak which has cut the Dodgers' lead to five games, honestly feel they can overtake Walt Alston's crew. The Cards, who heat the Mots, 6-5, last night while the Ctjbs downed the Dodgers, 2-1, in 11 innings have two big things going for them the schedule and a burning desire to win the pennant as a fitting farewell for retiring Stan Musial, lyil'teen of (he Cardinals' remaining games are scheduled at home and that includes three with the Dodgers. As for the -12-year-old Musial he has no intention of his' first big league game unlil he was 25 years old in 10-Ki. Warren Spahn is doing all right.

Now at the age of 42 he lias won 316. Bobby Bragan was groping for the right word to describe the phenomenal Milwaukee lefthander after he dealt the Pirates (he 60th shutout of his fabulous career here last night, 1-0. "Would incomparable be the word?" the Braves' manager asked and everybody in the Braves' clubhouse agreed this certainly would cover Spahn. Spahn now has a 10-5 record, has won seven straight (six in a period of T.i days) and lias taken 13 of his last Eventually he'll have No. 20 and this will give him Li years of 20 citizens of this industrial city of 12,,000, who gave of their time, effort and money to insure for their city the title, "Cradle of Pro Football" The idea for a pro football shrine in Canton was originated in by Germane Swanson, then a sports writer and now city editor of the Canton Repository.

For three years, the idea was considered "too grandiose" for the Canton area. But with encouragement from the management of the Cleveland Browns, the paper started the ball rolling in 1953. Official sanction by the National Football League (NFL) did not come easily. Numerous other cities were also vying lor the honor. But a concerted effort by community leaders convinced NFL officials that Canton was the logical site for the Hall.

It was 43 years ago this month that representatives of 11 football teams met here to form the American Professional Football forerunner of the NFL. And it was here the Canton Bulldogs, led by the legendary Jim Thorpe, became passers and receivers, and promised more of the same before Sunday. Parker was taking advantage of the Central Catholic High School practice area, a layout which has three football fields. Prior to reaching Canton, Parker had to call off several workouts at West Liberty, and Pittsburgh because the August drought had turned the fields into rock gardens. "We just couldn't risk the sitting around and not con the country's first pro team.

A Dream Becomes A Reality Once the NFL had given Canton the go-ahead, a fund-raising drive was initiated by a voluntary Hall of Fame steering committee. In just 90 days, citizens of the area pledged over $400,000 to make the dream become a reality. In March of 1962, a permanent board of trustees composed of nine Stark County men and three NFL representa- tributing his share. Stan The Man socked the -173rd homer of his career last players on those hard fields so close to the start of the season," explained Parker. "A hard field causes foot trouble and shin splints.

I want this squad at full strength when the season starts." Parker's immediate con-cern, however, is Sunday's game with the Cleveland Browns, the highlight of a week-long program dedicating the Pro Football Hall of i iin'ir ii nrvMi times in Ihe last eight seasons. Just to give you an Idea of what Spahn has accomplished in piling up 316 victories, if a pitcher won 20 games a season for the next 17 years he wouldn't match Spahn's total. The Pirates marveled at Spahn's control and his finesse, although they commiserated with Bob Friend, who went flown to his sixth night and his 10th of the sea son with one man on in the fifth inning after Bill White had hammered his 2lth homer in the fourth. Ken Boyer, however, broke i MMmm.mmjm i a tie when he singled off Larry Bearnarth in the If W.v! i Fame. The Hall, into which the first 17 nominees will he inducted Saturday, is located here in Canton.

Complicating Parker's preparations for the Browns, how shutout, the third by a 1-0 count. "Spahn's control is flawless," Bill Virdon pointed out. "He never gives you a good pitch to hit. And you're so surprised when you do see a fast ball down the middle, you take it. Then he nibbles on the corners."

One month later, Dick McCann, general manager of the Washington Redskins, was hired to direct the Shrine's destiny. Working out of a tiny office in a local hotel, McCann supervised the planning and construction of the building and began the monumental task of gathering momentoes for the Hall.

On Aug. 1, 1962, ground was broken for the Hall, an ultra modern circular structure crowned by a football-shaped dome. NFL Commissioner Pete Rozclle officiated at the ground-breaking ceremonies, which featured the first Hall of Fame game between the New York Giants and St. Louis Cardinals. Last month, workers began putting the finishing touches on the Hall.

McCann and his staff began moving in the huge collection of momentoes and film that will make the Hall a living tribute to the memory of those who dominated the early years of the sport. Among the momentoes are a Carlisle Indian College jacket once worn by Jim Thorpe; Knute Rockne's helmet 'and Ernie Nevers' jacket and jersey.
