if he CHICAGO, Dec. 11. Boss George Halas of the Chicago Bears is putting a big pile of chips on his second string line for Sunday's national professional gridiron title and cash battle with Washington's Redskins. With the the Redskins as ready as they ever will be for the engagement, Halas was more than ever convinced today that his forwards, particularly the reserve set, represent the Bruins' chances for victory. In erecting a defense to cope with Slingin' Sam Baugh, hard- running Cliff Battles and the rest of the Washington attack, Halas and Line Coach Luke Johnsos have emphasized that the Bear linemen must be in the Redskin backfield without delay on every play.

Can't Handle Two They aren't so sure that the first Bear line is so much tougher than Washington's number one wall but they figure that no team in the league should be able to handle two Chicago lines of equal strength, which is where the second stringers come in. Switching the two sets of giants, Halas hopes, will keep Baugh and his talented mates from getting too far out of hand. And he doesn't think Washington's reserve linemen wili be quite that effective. Halns is definitely set on his starting line except for the ends. hof to break seven-year jinx that Ishpeming High school has held over the Sault, will be tested tonight in the high school gymnasium when his Blue Devils, held without victory since 1931, clash with Coach C.

C. Watson's Hematites at 9:15 o'clock. The powerful Hematites marked up their third straight win of Jie season last night when they defeated the veteran Mather High of Munising 17 to 14 on the Ishpeming floor. Coach AHenhof is confident his boys have overcome that "Indian sign" which has held a death hold on all Sault basketball teams which have faced Hematite firing squads in last seven years. Show Improvement.

The Sault coach, dissappointed with his team in last week's practice, was pleased with the performance of his boys in the game against Sterling last Saturday and with their work at practice this week. boys have shown great improvement," Coach Altenhof said. He was pleased with the work of Boh'Reilly in last wek's game. The Sault center played good defensive and offensive basketball. "If Ishpeming is no stronger than Jast I don't believe the team think we're due to break the 'Indian sign' tonight," said Coach Altenhof.

While the Hematites lost two valuable guards from last year's team, they will have in their lineup such veterans as lleli Coduti, Nyman, and Lehtinen from last year's varsity and with Mari-etta, Johnson, Kallio and Hill from the 1937-37 squad. Coach Altenhof will probably start Jimmy Alford and Art Loveless at guard, Bill Mannesto and Wilhart Ranta, forwards, and Reilly at center.

The Gotham fighter ducked the rest successfully. After two minutes and 38 seconds of the second round had elapsed, Adamick cornered Mader and sent a hard left to his lantern jaw. This set the stage for the knockout, which occurred four seconds later when Adamick sent a hard loft to Mader's jaw and sent him reeling against the ropes.
