before renaming his machine as the Chicago Bears Naturally Halas is one of the pioneers of pro football Hell be very much in attendance at Los Angeles on Sunday when the East-West pros tangle for the newspaper charities of Southern California In a phone conversation with the writer Halas said: "We'd like very much to play an exhibition game in Salt Lake City or Utah We have never showed our club there Back in the '20s if you'll recall we had Red Grange and others scheduled in Salt Lake City but a blizzard cancelled the game "Back in 1953 I predicted that professional football would reach an unprecedented popularity in the years between 1955 and 1959 and that we would enter a period of expansion in 1960 or no later than 1965 "I based this observation on the fact that we now have the third generation of fans coming to our games when you have three generations interested you have a lot of fans "Another factor is the year-to-year improvement in playing talent Our product is taking on more and more polish in this period "I think our eventual expansion will be to the South and Southwest probably no more than two additional teams at a time We must go slowly and cautiously These are great strides to be taken and we must not be The Tree Holds Lead in City Loop With Victory Wall Avenue Center vs Southern Pacific Club 9 pm Steel Workers vs Ghosts Blue Avenger Will Baffle German Matman

nMinUorl tho VioaHlinpr ac i cVit heaved a big sigh and said 'Just when my players get to know everything about football I lose them' "It struck me then and there that if people liked to watch college football they certainly should be attracted to the more ad- vanced game played by steadily improving talent "But speaking of talent I want you to know that pro ball is greatly indebted to the strides made by college and high school coaches Whether they realize it or not they've played a big role in our success The kids they move up the football ladder each year are better and better They're doing an outstanding job "Another thing the growing popularity of pro ball gives the kids greater incentive Their sports heroes are now pro football heroes They look forward to the time when they might play the pro game It's all a wonderful cycle" The Bears' owner-coach thinks the sudden-death overtime added considerable drama to the championship game but he doubts that it will be used to decide all ties It could be chaotic at Wrigley Field where there are no lights NO 2-POINT CONVERSION Halas said the National Football League "never" will adopt the two-point conversion option used so successfully by college football last season "We don't need it" he said emphatically "I think a touchdown should have a basic value of seven points if the kick is good and the team scoring the touchdown should be penalized by loss of the extra point if the kick is bad "I don't think the two-point conversion would decide many ties there were five tie games in the Big Ten last year with the two-point rule and each team playing a nine-game schedule We played 12-game schedules and had only three ties "And there's no boredom in the kick for the point Rather it's an exhibition of perfection a specialty by a good kicker" NBA BASKETBALL THE CLUB Subic 7 7 5 19 Hassell 4 7 4 12 Millspaw 14 2 4 Sanone 0 0 0 0 Stone 2 5 2 6 Box scores: RAINBOW BAR 0 2 0 0 Wood 5 5 2 12 Hogge 7 1 1 15 Ballentyns 0 0 0 0 A
